HEALTH AND PoLIcE.-We direct the
attention of the city authorities to the pools
of water standing on the sides of streets
and allies in various places in the city.
These pools of water should be drained of
before they breed any more disease. The
only reason why Albany Is not the health
lest city In Oregon is her lack of proper
irainage-and an efficient system of drain
age must be adopted, or else we shall have
one of the most unhealthy places in the
State, place for diphtheria and fevers un-

Two Females Have q Tussle After Church
which . Razor Falls from the Sleeve Of
Ono of tho Combatants and Very Hard
Language IL Used.
In the Police Court yesterday Media Banks
was charged with an assault on Harriet John
ton. Both are colored, and the matter arose
over the possession Of one Sam Fry. Neither
one mas ANYTHING In her appearance TO tempt
the most susceptible lover, but the evidence
proved to the contrary. Media is q sloven!y
miss, with wicked look 10 her small, twink
ling eyes. She wore black straw hat with q
dirty red rose. Harriet Is somewhat older,
has wart on her nose, and is even less at
tractive. Her jaunty head. dress was set off
by q Haunting blue feather. She narrated
the circumstances of the assault In q flippant
manner. She testified that she met Media at
the door OF the Sixth street church, northeast.
She had gone there to look tor Sam Fry, to
whom she was engaged to be married. They
had been very Intimate. Sam was with Me-
dia. Witness continued: ~ said, Come here,
Sam Fry
"T will do as well as SAM remarked Me-
dia.
~ don't want to see you."
Media then taid Cd d-n you, nobody
sees Sam without seeing me, advancing upon
witness, aud threatening to ''cut her heart
out"
"She then drew razor and knocked me
down. / saw blood, and grew real weak. l
called for help, and Mary Walker pulled her
off,"
"Did she cut youi" inquired the Court.
"No, cir; Mary was too quick for her."
"Wbst became of the razori'
81 ran away, and didn't stop TO look"
Another witness explained that the two
"were standing kinder slde-shufile like"
nuebinU lp RlauIIar
to show what that meant.
"Whcn they had words Media told them to
stand back, she was going for Harriet. The
razor fell from her sleeve, and Sam FRY
picked 1t up and gave 1t back TO her when she
mad Harriet on the ground" )" testified another
witness.
Mary Walker, the peacemaker, (not DIctor
MaryO testified that Harriet walked around
to see Sam, when Media said to her, "IIl cut
your heart out" They clinched, and Media
threw Harriet down, held her head back and
was making motion 20 cut her with the
razor when Harriet screamed, "Take her oTp
"And took her oil, said the witness, with
great nonchalance.
For the defense, Mr.. Jas. G. Nalley, white,
testified that the fight occurred directly under
bis window. He saw Media come out OF the
church, followed by four other women. They
were all cursing and swearing. lie saw some
one knock Media down twice, but couldn't say
who did It. lie noticed Sam Fry In the crowd.
where's Sam Fry" asked the Court.
"He's not in court" replied the attorney
for defense.
"Tbese girls followed Media Banks and In
sisted that the should fight" continued the
witness. az heard Media say, Don't you bite
me- Sam Fry pulled the other girls OF her. :"
The witness, referring to the services at
the church every evening, said, "The most
disaracefullest language was used. You could
hear II two squares away"
The case was continued until Sam Fry
could be heard from. Media was placed
under 800 bonds.
