A SCREAMING SENSATION. = Charley
ockel who keeps a saloon on South G
street, Virginia, has been sorely an
moved at various times within the last
two years by Mrs, Brcckenfeldt, young
but evidently cr~ack-brained woman,
who has contrived to get her name in
the papers and her person in the station
house or Jail on numerous occasions on
his account. When she first clapped
eyes on Charley two years ago, she be-
came convinced that he was her affinity,
her Breckenfeldt, who deserted her
in California. She tried to take imme-
| date possession Of him, and on his re-
sisting, she raised q terrible row. In
Court, he proved that he was himself,
and not her Breckenfeldt, but she never
would be satisfied. Occasionally she
has gone to his saloon and tried to APP
propriate him, and on being repulsed,
she would pitch in and smash the front
| windows. Time after time Charley
would send that terrible woman to Jail ;
he ' got her shipped off to California,
but all to no purpose; when he thought
he had got rid Of his tormentor and was
beginning to feel jolly over it, then
was the very time she would sud
denly come in upon him with
q private writ Of habsas corpus. He had
lost run of her for the last few weeks,
and was happy in the thought that she
had permanently wandered off and gone
from his gaze like IA horrible dream,
when last evening, about s O'Clock, this
irrepressible female strobe into the
saloon like a ghost in Hamlet, and took
a seat by the stove. She had her things
along, in a bundle, and had come to
stay. Charley firmly advanced, took
her by the arm, and ordered her to
leave at once and forever. She opened
her mouth, throat and lungs and COM
menced such a series of tom-cat squalls
and screeches that the whole neighbour
hood was reused aud everybody ran
thither, thinking murder was being
done. Officers Gould and Brinton rushed
in, took the woman in charge, and lug
ged her of to the station-house, she
yelling like q demon every step Of the
way. She raised a fine stir, and about
Ave hundred anxious citizens followed
down street. The officers had a lovely
time of it. They hurried her along and
got her shut into u cell as soon as pos
sible. There she kept on squalliug like
a regiment Of counting felines, all night,
occasionally attacking her cell door
with desperate energy. About 8 & o'clock
this morning she got too hoarse to
squall any longer, and had to quit.
The officers and Charley are going to
get her shut up for a good long
time, IL they can, and accordingly
have preferred charges Of disturbing
the peace, malicious mischief, rape,
burglary, assault and everything else
they could think of. She was to be
tried this afternoon before Recorder
Addison. 1t would seem that Charley
must have some very winning ways
about him to get a woman so determin-
edly attracted as all that amounts to.
He'll has no fury like a woman
scorned."
JUVENILE ScoUSDRELs. Two little
boys, named McQuade and McSweeney,
aged ten and eleven years respectively,
were arrested BY officer Harmon in Vir'
ginia city, on Saturday evening, fol
stealing two pairs Of boots from the
store Of A. Mau, Oh B street. The two
boys go about the streets picking NJ
bottles for sale to the liquor stores, and
on Saturday evening, while passing the
store, supposing themselves unperceiv'
ed, slipped a pair of boots each into
their bottle sacks. The porter Of the
place, however, saw the theft, and gave
chase. After running a short distance
they dropped their sacks aud plundei
and made good their escape for th'
time, but later in the evening they vert
found and arrested in q coffee saloon OF
@ street, and both are now lodged in
cell in the statioa-house. One Of thes'
boys (McSweeuey) is the same who
about o week ago, shot a Chinama'
through the neck because he did no
get out Of the way Of his coasting sle'
with sufficient expedition to suit tn
notions of the young rascal. On tha
occasion this juvenile desperate wa
arrested by Tailor McGinnis, and hi
pis,ol-a Titled single-barreled concert
taken from him, but no charge beinl
preferred against him, he was let 60, II
consideration of his thoughtless youth
and the fact that his parents were bot
very sick at the time. A house OF cor
r~ection or some, similar institution 70
the keeping and punishment ofjuvenil
offenders is very much needed in VII
GINA. There are some bad juvenile
! about GoldHill who could be quartere
|, there to very good advantage.
