WASHINGTON CITY.
Now, Greasers, Look Out!
mol A haannintnd prass to tha Star

WASHINGTON, July 2,-The Government
has under serious consideration the ques-
tions of Mexican and Indian depredations
on the Rio Grande, which have been a
source of serious annoyance for so many
years. The last raid made by these people
into Texas resulted in serious loss Of life to
American citizens, as well as large loss OF
property carried off and destroyed.
Immediately upon the receipt of Gen.
Ord's official report it was resolved at
Cabinet meeting to adopt more vigorous
policy on the Mexican border, and Gen
Ord was sent for to give his views on the
subject He has been here several days in
close consultation with the President, Ev-
arts, McCrary and Gen. Sherman. A final
action has not yet been decided upon, but
it can be stated authoritatively that this
Government will use all its power to put an
end to depredatiOns Of the class referred to-,
and that when Gen. Ord returns to Texas
he will carry with him full Instructions on
the subject.

PIKE AND PEARL.
A Fight, Two Shots ana NeigEbOr-
hood DiSCuSSiOn.

There was lively excitement last night
in the vicinity of the corner of Pike and
Pearl streets. About O clock man named
w. A. Greenleaf, who boards at 1853 East
Third street, a machnist by trade and re-
Gently from indianapolis entered Peter
Lauers saloon and called for drink. On
account of his intoxicated condition this
was refused, and some words followed.
Then there was little more chin music
and Greeneaf was put out He re-en;ered
and assaulted Lauer with chair. The lat
Ter resisted the assault by knocking Green
leaf out of the house, knocking him down
and giving him a pretty severe pounding
Greenleaf was taken up, his head dressed,
and he left.
The affair up to this time had created
great excitement, and the neighbOrS for =
square around gathered in little groups.
and proceeded to try, convict and execute
one or the other of the parties to the CON
flict. While these exciting trials were going
on, and while wise and profound opinions
were being delivered by people who knew
nothing of the facts, two pistol shots were
heard in the saloon in quick succession.
They were fired by Greenleaf at Lauer, as
the latter stood behind the bar. Greenleaf
at first endeavored to have Lauer arrested,
but being informed that warrant was nee
essary, he went up town, purchased pis-
tol, and returning entered the side door Of
the saloon, and fired the two shots.
The aim was well taken, as both charges
must have passed within few inches of the
head of the intended victim. The shots
passed through a door in the rear of the
bar and into the back room, where the
Fifth Ward Building Association was hold
ing an election. Fortunately the ballot box
was placed in an opposite corner of the
room, and the crowd being mainly gathered
around it no one was hurt. After firing tito
two shots Greenleaf was arrested by the by
ISLANDERS and turned over to the officers.
This morning Greenleaf was arragned in
the Police Court on charge of assault with
intent to kill. He waived an examination
and was held in 81 000 bail for his appear
ance at the Common Pleas Court.

This morning, about o'clock, Mr. II. C.
Refs, who keeps a drug store on Tenth
and Madison streets, in Covington. was
aroused from his slumbers by man ap-
parently in distress A couple of young
gentlemen who were sleeping in the second
story of the building thought the applicant
drunk and dashed bucket of water upon
him. Thereupon the man explained that
he had been cut and was suffering terribly.
1t proved to be true.
He gave his name as Westerman, and
said he resided at the corner OF Plum and
Longworth; that he had been knocked
down and robbed at Morningview, on ths
K. c. Railroad where he received severe
cash in the right hip and lost $50 in money
and fine gold watch. He had the wound
dressed in that place, and had started for
home Just before he reached CovingtOn
the wound broke open and he was very
faint from loss of blood
DR.. J. J. Dulaney administered relief ta
the sufferer, and he was taken 10 the Mar
shal's office and fined SO for drunkenness
and disOrderly conduct. He was class
mate of Mr.. Charles Dengler, a Covington
attorney, and is considered very respects
ble man. The strange thing is, why did
the Marshal fine Mr.. Westerman?

CHEAP BEER.


The beer question is still being agitated
in this city. 1t is now definite fact that
the price of beer will be reduced by the
brewers from So per barrel to s6. This is
to go into effect tomorrow, and will be he
means of giving to the beer consumers q
glass of good beer, such as Cincinnati only
can give, for cents. To-day the brew
ers, at least the most Of them, are selling
their product at 50 per keg or quarter-bar
rel. A few are delivering beer to their ellis
toners at 81 50 per keg, and the latter, of
course are able to sell three-cent glasses, and
most of them are doing the same. In few
days hve-cent glasses excepting schooners,
will be thing of the past 1t is considered
as certainty that this move on part of the
brewers will drive the schooner" from the
market and give the field to the three-cent
glass.
The brewers this afternoon unanimously
commenced to sell beer to their customers
at b6 per barrel
In spite of this a number of saloon
keepers have decided not to retail at 3 cents
glass; but how long they will hold out ii
is impossible to say.
