Horatlo Bolster, ex-prizc fighter, being in.
looted with the heat Of summer, would
'spile" II he did not get into some sort Of
muss, and consequently, q day or two since,
pitched" Into female, named Jenny Con-
Motley, and frescoed her face In most beau
tiful manner. Tho fair Jenny had crash"
arrested for this little peace OF pleasantly,
when he was appropriately fined by the
magistrate. The law was satisfied, but
Jenny was not, aud garncring up 10 her
heart OF hearts all the strength and ven
geanco OF which woman Ia possessed, she
determined at q future day TO attempt the
humiliation Of the ungallant Crash" That
day rolled round, aud 1t happened to be
Monday last, when Bolster bolted into d
street, near Thirteenth, where Jenny re-
sides.
Horatio, little dreaming Of what was In
store for him, smilingly approached the
presence Of Jenny, who Immediately put
herself In defensive attitude aud dcfied his
seeming on" Horatio for moment was
astonished, but recovering his presence Of
mind stripped for the fight, and blast from
Jenny was the signal for the commence
ment OF
Round both went In well, and Jenny
having the choice OF corner Unanswered a
successful blow over the diminutive conk
OF "Rash," causing the "blood" to flow In
purple streams. First blood being allowed
to Jenny, Crash" sullenly went to his cor
ner and took a seat on the stake where he
took drink.
Round 2-IIoratio, feeling considerably
revived from the first draught, concluded TO
take another, after which he came sprightly
to the Scratch" Jenny decorating his mug
with her nails, and distributing portions OF
his shirt about the room. In this round
Jenny received q blow under the chin which
knocked her over the ropes.
Round 3-Jenny, undauntcd, approached
her adversary In confident manner, aud
enlisted" him In the vicinity Of his meat safe,
which caused Crash" TO belch, and call for
another drink. This ended round three.
Round I-Bolstering up his courage, he
again advanced on his foe, receiving for his
foolhardincss II well directed and forcible
smash over his left window TO daylight.
Horntlo left Jenny alone during the re.
mainder OF this round.
Round 5-Smilingly Rash came up to the
centre, and succeeded In inaicting a gentle
tap on the LEFT cheek Of Jenny, which caused
her to stagger, (she did not drink Anything
and getting her foot entangled In her hoop
skirt, she fell heavily to the floor. Rash
went to his corner, and smellcd the bottle.
Round 0 and last-Rash was slow In get
ting on his pins. Jenny took advantage Of
his weakness, and secured rusty muskct
bayonet, her gloves having worn out. By
this time Horatio had gained the middle OF
h. b.,s hi. II l..
succeeded in thrustIng the sharp point into
the body Of Rash, doing some injury to the
seat OF his pantaloons. Horntlo, facing the
door when this attack was made, walked
forth In the street, his celebrity being occa-
stoned by the attack In "the rea-."
Jenny being the victor, stepped to the
door, and exclaimed In the language OF
Hamlet, "there are more things In heaven
and earth, Horatlo, than are drcamt Of In
your philosophy"
Rash procured warrant for Jenny, charg-
ing him with assault and battery, but the
charge was not entertained before Justice
Plant yesterday, and the case was dismissed.

was on Its way to Georgetown about nine
clock, a. m, yesterday an ARRAY occurred
between two passengers, which resulted quite
to one Of the parties. From the
statement Of tho conductor of the car II
would appear that q man named John Will
sey, apparently under the influence OF liquor,
had pushed against a Captain Henry Ro-
meyn, said TO be of the 37th United States
infantry. For the offence he begged pardon,
and Romeyn retired to the rear platform OF
the car. As Wilsey was about to get oil,
Captain Romeyn dealt him blow, and as he
attempted to retaliate In kind his fist went
through one Of the windows of the car, sew
ering one Of the arteries of his left hand and
inilictlng very severe wound. The car
was stopped at Seventeenth street, aud Will
sey, whose wound was bleeding profusely,
was assisted to Brown & Co.'s drug store, on
the corner near by, where his wound was
dressed by DR.. Hagner; after which he was
to his home, corner of Thirteenth
and streets, by Officer Hess, OF the police
force, who subsequently conveyed him to
Providence hospital, where his wound was
dressed and proper medical assistance rem
Tered.
