An action was brought in London the other
day to recover compensation for personal inju-
ries, and was defedded on the ground Of con-
iributory negligence. The plaintiff was a
butcher, who, with his wife, went On board
steamer belonging to the defendant for a
short sea trip. While stepping ON board the
vessel the plaintiff wife slipped and fell,
breaking her leg. A question was raised in
the course Of the inquiry as to the height Of
the heels of her boots. She described them
as being not very hish-about the usual
height. A medical witness expressed his
opinion that the heels of the boots worn by
the plaintiffs wife were not very high but adj
united that high heels led TO many accidents.

Before the year 1929 mustard was little
known, according to the Grocers Journal, ct
English tables. About this time an old woman
Of the name Of Clements, residing in Durham
began to gIind the see d in mill, and to pass
the -four through several processes necessary
20 free its husks. She kept her secret to herr
self for many years, during which she sold
large quantities of mustard throughout the
country, but especially in London. Here it
was introduced to the royal table, where j,
received the approval Of George /. From
the circumstance Of Mrs. Clements being a
resident at Durham, it obtained the name OF
Durham mustard. The manufacture of mus
lard consisted in simply grinding the seed into
a very fine -four, bushel of seed, weighing
sixty pounds, yielding twenty'eisht pounds to
thirty pounds of -four Of mustard. A false
taste, however, arose for having an improved
color, and the -four Of mustard was introduced
from which the oil had been distracted.
Hence other materials, such as capsicum pow
der, tumeric, terra alba, whea;en four etc i,
are added to bring UP the flavor and increase
the bulk.

Two Bloody Encounters Last Night, the
Probable Result Being the Death Of One
Man-CIubs and Pisiol the Weapons.

Officers Rouleau, Hanft and Lowell re-
turned about l O'clock this morning after
q hunt of several hours out on the Como
road and the neighborhood around
that road to fnd the participants III two
bloody rows. Owing to the fact that the
parties scattered after the disturbances it was
difficult to get very full and satisfactory &C
count Of just how the fights occurred. The
following are the particulars as near as could
be learned:
about O'Clock at saloon
on the corner of University and harrington
avenues. At the hour named Charles Fisher,
Gustaff Mancho and William Rcdowitz were
in the saloon named, when Pat O'Toole, a
member OF what is known as the Rice street
gang came in, accompanied by fellow named
Mulrieh. Mulrich and Mancho got
into q dispute about beer and each
threw glass of beer into the other's
face when Mancho picked up billiard cue
and struck MHlrich over the head and con-
tinued to beat him. O'Toole became mi xed
up in the fight and was knocked down. By
the three-Fisher, Mancho and Rodo-
vital pounded and kicked Mulrich
and O'Toole in a fearful manner. The
latter seemed to be the most injured, his skull
/ being fractured. O'Toole is not expected to
live, aad,was removed to his home on Western
avenue. Mulrich was unable to go home and
! was taken there by two or three men. Both
men were fearfully beaten about the head, and
it would not be surprising if neither recover
| ed.
The second disturbance occurred at saloon
on the corner of Western avenue and Thomas
street, ABOUT $50. This the officers found
out about while looking after the parties en-
gagged in the first row. Not much is known
of the particulars of this fight, more thar
that two men were badly beaten anc
the barkeeper shot through the hand. as ht
says by man named Needham. The latter
was arrested and locked up, and was the only
person that could be found last night. rht

escape before the officers got there. After re
