A Lively Duetf.

The monotony of tho police court wa!
somewhat relieved, last evening, by tht
appearance of trio Of young women
Two of them, Mary Cox and Annie
Cook, were charged with assault and
battery upon the other girl, Della n
Campbell. Upon being duly sworn, the
latter testified that on leaving the
house OF a friend, in the nelghhorhood
Of Second and Walnut streets, last
Tuesday evening, she was attacked by
Mary and Annie and rudcly beaten
After the witness had testified, Annie
Cook, seemed determined to break
down the evidence piled up against hci
but did not succeed.
Several witnesses were called by the
prosecutrix, who substantiated the evil
dence against the prisoner.
Two witness were called by the de-
fence. one Cf which did not know much
about the case, ard said but little when
upon the stand. After she had taken
her seat, numerous questions We're put
to her by the defendants, and it looked
as if she would be forced to answer IN
the affirmative. Tha prisoners, how
ever. could not prove their innocence,
and the Mayor imposed fine OF u and
costs upon each.
Just before the final close OF the case,
hard words were iudulged IN between
one of the witnesses and one Of the prlso-
ners. which came near being the cause
of another hearing, upon the charge OF
disorderly conduct. 1t would do some
of them good to Clock them up for
brow beating each other, during The
progress of trial.
