TUESDAY EVENING, SEPT. "a.

A TRAGIC AFFAIR.-Last Monday tragic
occurrence took place few miles from town
between three colored women, by which one
vas fatally injured. 1t seems young girl stole
a dress on the lst of July, and sold it day or
SO afterwards to woman named Judy, VINO
wore it in honor of the immortal Fourth, a., and
on that day the dress was recognized. Inc
parties came into court. The mother OF the
thief, the story is, suggested to Judy to swear
that she bought the dress two weeks before.
JUDY declined After the trial bad feeling ex-
listed between Judy and the two women named.
Monday last this mother and another girl came
to the place where Judy was at work and chal-
lenged her for a battle. Of course Airl G;
pluck led her to accept the challenge. Inc
parties took the public road Judy, observing
threatening demonstrations, seized an axe from
neighboriing woodpile AS the two women
advanced she began swinging the axe and de-
claripg she would cut any one who came too
near. The elder woman continued to advance,
and sure enough Judy cut her very severely,
severing her breasts, and making fearful,
fatal cash in the body of her antagonist: The
report is the woman has since died.-Ler'ng

available space in their establishment
with sensonablc goods. They can show
their customers any aud every article usu-
ally found in first.cass dry goods houses !;
and moreover, are able to retail all goods
at wholesale prices. The reason they can
do this, is that they make all purchases

satisfactory margin on all goods, while
ther'pa,rons reap the advantage Of this
arrangement. Mc.srs. Goldstinc a. Rose
