A FATAL FREE FIGHT.
Catharine Bailey Killed with n Chair by
One OF Her Guests

Sunday night row occurred in a
drinking saloon at the head of Seventh street,
kept by Catharine Bailey, in the midst of which
the lights were turned out and free fight ensrled
in which a number of men and women partici-
pated. IN the melee the keeper of the house was
struck i'll the head and received injuries which
resulted fatally the following night An inquest
was held yesterday, in which testimony was elic-
tied duplicating man named John Donohue alias
Green, rs being the old womans assaiant, and the
coroner accordingly committed him to jail to
await the action Of the grand jury. The instru-
Ineat Used seems to have been chair, with which
Green was defending himself against an attack By
the old woman and her daughter. The house in
which the tragedy occurred bears a hard
name among the police, as its occu-
pants were frequently arrested for robbing
and beating the inmates of the Soldiers Home
who had made it their resort. The victim of the
tragedy was but recently parloned out of jail, to
which she had been sentenced for robbing a pen
sioncr Of several hundred dollars.

A Lively Bal lzasque.

The sOiTee dGasdnte at Cosmopolitan
Hall last night was largely attended, and by as
miscellaneous an asSemblage ever capered
nimbly to the lasciyious blessings OF toot''
The programme was of course Gu naasquc and THE
REPUBLICANS peripatetic representative waited
with eager interest to behold the galaxy OF beauty
which, during the earlier hours of the
festival, was murtled in doninoes, or hid
behind the taatalizing screen of lace
trimmed wizards At midnight this consunmation
was reached, and from that hour on the fun was
fast and furious. Without making any invidious
distinctions it can be said that Miss Nellie H
was the belle of the ball. Her costume was a sort
of composite structure that embraced the styles of
at least five centuries, while her innocent abandon
was striking in the extreme. Miss NJ was also
strongly to the fore, and the peculiarly graceful
manner in which she brushed the rim of her
escorts tile with the tip of her tiny satin
slipper gave inc0ntrovertible evidence of her
Gallo training. The attendance of gentlemen was
particularly large, and many of their costumes
were extremely original. Many of the male guests
were biyalve openers who neither toll nor spin
during an ice blockade and yet Solomon in all his
glory was not arTayed like one of these.

A MASKED BATTERY,
The Artillery Ball at Masonic Temple
Who Were Present.

Who Were Present.
The masquerade ball of the District
Artillery was very enjoyable entertainment, and,
although the hall was only comfortably filed the
number oftickets sold will go far to providing the
uniforms necessary for fully equipping the corps
and entertaining the guests of the organization
during Inauguration week.
The decorations of the hall were entirely military
in their character and singuiarly appropriate. In
the centre of the stage a: the rear of the hall was
pitched a regulation a" tent, with crossed
sabres, carbines and flags arranged as trophy in
front. At each side of the stage was a stack of
muskets surrounded by flags, with sabre taches,
and waist-belts pendant from the bayonets.
sponse-staffs and hammer heads were ar
ranged saticrwise in the panels the wall at the
back of the stage, and over each window was dis
played United States regulation artillery and in
fantry regimental flags. Across the front of the
balcony were draped two huge garrisoe flags, that
entirely hid the woodwork of the structure from
view. Among the noticeable costumes were q
Daughter of Regiment" "Vivandier," General
Bowen" Victory" Scotch LasSie,' "Powder
Monkey" Uhan"" Danny Mann, ~" The Shaugh-
raun.' maid of the MIST" Virginia Gentle
man." with host of dominoeS of all shades,
harlcquins, and others whose dresses passed
far beyond the comprehension of the reporter. The
dancing was kept up to late hour, and the as
semblage dispersed, lvoting the Artillery ball -"
the most enjoyable affair of the season. Among
the many guests who chased the hours with flying
feet were Major Shelly and wife, Captain Walker.

Doctors and Drugsssts.

At q recent meeting of physicians the
question of dealing with druggists who infringc,l
the rights of doctors by prescribing for patients
was discussed, and il was decided to circulate a
paper among the druggists with the view of sup
pressing this practice, which is considered deir
mental to the medical profession. The doctors
complain that many apothecaries, when called
upon for relief by sick persons are in the habit
prescribing remedies. The idea is, it is stated to
"boyc0tt" the druggists who decline to sign the
paper referred 10. Some of the druggists are in
ciined TO resist this action of the physicians.

4 Tr,bute FROM To a Friend.

Yesterday there was given back to Mother Earth
all that was mortal of Mrs Sarah Kaufman, nee
SchOenhof beloved wife of our esteemed fellow
citizen. Mr.. Benjamin Kaufman. Seldom has any
one left greater circle of devoted friends rarely
indeed very rarely, has any one in the humber
walks of life so charmed rs the ineStimabe woman
who, in the very noontide of her life, has been
summoned to respond to that call which levels all
distinctions all creeds, all classes. The wife, who
was not only the companion and CO. partner of her
husband, but was. in addition the helpmeet in the
highest and most material sense; the mother,
whose loyalty to her children was as fixed as her
principles were beyond her surroundings, whose
earnest striving was to educate them IN
a progressive humane spirit; sister whose alice
ton was as pure and elevated as was the response
of her intellectual brothers: friend and COM
panion whose conversation was entertaining and
charming, whose friendship was congenial in its
warmth and sincerity: woman, in short who
had read much, experienced and suffered more,
whose soul and heart was stranded on the rock of
humanity whose hand was open as the pupil
of her eye, and who firm in her faith, was yet so
grounded in the teachings of the present age that
she was tolerant and generous of and with all.
Only those TO whom she opened wide the portals
OF her inner nature can ever truly appreciate the
true worth of such q being. To our sight she is
lost; to OUR memory she is forever dear. May the
husband of her life the children of her love, the
brothers of her affectionate regard the friends and
companions of her social surroundings never for
get that she has left no hearts bowed down by acts
ofingratitude or unwOmanly conduct. She died
she liYed-a grand type OF true and intellectual
woman. ). WOLF.
