1t would socm, was rart npis among agents,
for both his vito and himself wore much nkcd
by their subordinates. After A1r. Wolllngton'a
appointment, tho pleasant rotations betwoon tho
ladiea OF tho Office and tho former agont's vito
were kept up, and caused much iealousy on tho
part OF Mr. Whoelerg SUCCESSOR. Thia resulted
In q diako for Misa Fry md tho other indies on
tho part Of 11r. Wellington, who discharged tho
Gay ls e %tnsgs the ground Of "t0o much p"Tt"t for
There ID a young man in tho onico, rejoicing
In the naue Of 3. 4. Groom, WHO had boon pay:.
BY bfr. Wellington that Ills attentions to that
lady must coaao II he wished to rotain his aitua~
tion. Mr.. 3. 4. Green. psid no heed to thls
warning, which tended to increase hfs employers
Whom, however, Mr.. Green lost half n day In
driving Miss Fry out in buggy, Mr. Yelling
toms dclicato iro WAS fully aroused. It Was i'll
subordination.
Miss Fry accompanied Miss Allen to tho
Office ono day last weck, the lattera object boing
to pay bill. During tho fow minutes thus oo-
oupioa, Miss Fry took o scat, noar q sowing rna-
chino, waiting for her friend. Tho gallant Mr.
Wellington drow forth q watch, and said Ito
use his own statement in the Police Court !:
get out Of horo," and at the expiration Of hnlf
that tio, Boized tile 1illreBisting girl by tho arm
with suoh forco as to throw her agatnBt asowing-
machine and strain her back. Tho poor young
hor, but tho gontlo sowing machine agent, who
stands moro than six feot In Ills Btocltings,
dragged her to tho door and thrust her Violently
! into tho street. Tho gallant Groen stood BY and
to protect tho object Of his alleged affections,
who, on finding horsolf on tho street and in
| great pai1, went homo to tho residence of MrB.

Mr.. Child, who is we'll known in insurance cir
clcs, WIS indignant at this treatraont, and applied
to Juatleo scul'y for ~ warrant to nrfesl TIE gen
| asnaut had boen committed on tho South Side,
referred tho applicant to Mr.. Dogborry Danyon.
That unlcarnel person heying hoard tho com
Rlsint decided without eslg for tGntma1ny tat ansy
had been no assault, and TINT tho warrant must
only bo giyon OH the lesser charge. Tho caso
camao up before Justieo scully yesterday, OIL a
change Of venue. The evidence showed clearly
that d most brutal assault Ind beon mado OIL the
lady, and when A1r. Frank Adams, for tho prose-
oution, roao to reply to tho attorney for tho do
fouBe, tho Court declined to hear lin, IS the
case was too palpablo for discussion. ..-,
| h1r. Adams, while submitting to tho request
OF tho Justice, regretted that 10 had not an op..
portunity to toll Mr. ". Fl. Wellington just what
he thought Of him. Mr. scnlly decided TINT tue

would have backed lis robuke with heayfor
lue. IIo would have Aned d woman 800 had
tllo caso boon reversed. Tho prisoner hae tho
full sympathy Of worry large number Of citizens
now engaged in making brick in distant part
Of tho city, and whose wivea appeal to tho
Mayor for their pardon, On tho ground that
"sluro, your Honor ho WAS lhrunk, or ho
noyor would havo beat me-" It iB probable thai
the case will not end hero. Miss Fry should be
