An Elepemcnt and its Resule-EnorEehc
Conduct on The part Of the Lady's Rel
the Washington star.l

About four weeks ago q young gen.
tleman, who gave his name as Nye, ap-
peared at the boarding house of Mr..
Park, on G street, between Second and
Third, with q young lady who he rep
resented as his wife, and asked to see
the rooms. The keeper Of the house
showed the pair several rooms, and
finally they choose the back parlor, in
to which the young man had a piano
placed for the lady, and loon they were
living comfortably. The young man,
rs also the lady, informed the other &C.
cupants of the house they had recently
been married, and that he being q mail
agent, could not be home during the
day. He appeared to be very regular
in his habits, and was at home every
evening, and in a short time they were
looked upon by their fellow boarders as
quite An acquisition. Christmas times
came, and the couple mixed with the
others in the amusements gotten up in
the house, and seemed to enjoy the fun
amazingly, but on New Years eve there
CAM q change. The occupants Of the
house had mostly retired about ten o..
clock, not feeling inclined "to watch
the New Year I'M" but were destined
to have precious little sleep. About II
o'clock the juggling of the bell awoke
some of the occupants, and the servant
found at the door a stout, middle-aged
lady, accompanied by IN a~ble-bodied
young man. They informed the servant
that the lady was the mother, and the
gentleman was the brother of Mrs. Nyc,
whom they wished to see, and asked
which was the room of the couple. The
servant designated the room in question
and started up stairs, but had not gone
many steps before creams Of "murder'
from the room awoke the house. The
proprietor, Mr.. Park, sprang out of bed,
and hastily attempted to change his
nighshirts for thicker appeared; but the
frequency Of the cries and the din from
the room, induced him to disregard all
laws of etiquette, and down stairs he
went to the room In question, followed
by some of the borders. Here they
found that Mr.. and Mrs. Nye had been
hauled from bed, the former by the big
brother, and the latter by the mother Of
the lady.
The young man was walking into Mr..
Nye with q stout stick, which he used
mostly on his victims head, and he find
ing discretion the better part of valor,
made n break for the window, carrying
the greater part of the window-sash
with. him; and took refuge in the stable.
While this was going on the mother had
her daughter over her knee and was ap-
plying raw-hide to raw-hide, giving her
in the language of witness, "Hail Co.
lumbia." The spectators thinking there
should DO moderation in all things, in
terposed and stopped this castigation,
and heard the explanations of the par
ties, from which it appeared that the
daughter had been recently married to
a gentleman in New York, and had run
away from him and came here, taking
up with Mr.. Nye, who had been q form
er lover.
The mother and son were induced to
leave the house, and the daughter retired
to bed; suffering smartly from the eff
fects Of the cowhiding, and Mr.. Nye
came out of his hiding place in the sta
BILE after the coast was clear.
The trouble was not all over yet,
however, and, in about an hour, there
was another ring of the door-bell. The
servant was admonished to be careful
whom she let in, and opened the door
ajar, when the former visitors pushed
forcibly past her and Immediately went
to the room Of Mr.. and Mrs. Nye, when the
brother dragged the former from the
bed. and gave him another tremendous
whacking, continuing to apply the stick
until he was stopped by the proprietor
of the house and boarders, who went to
to the rescue. At this visit the mother
did not use the hide; but while the sol
was attacking Nye, gave the daughter a
terrible tongue flashing. AS before, the
boarders requested them to leave the
house, which invitation they finally
complied with. On turning their atten-
ton to the injured man, they found he
was badly cut, and took him to a neigh
boring drug store, where his wounds
were dressed.
The following morning, the young
couple, doubtless thinking that their
quarters were getting too hot for them,
quietly left the house, and the following
day their baggage was sent for BY the
porter of a hotel, the piano being kept
as security for the board bill.
