Yesterday Alderman j. K. Barr, of the
Third ward, and few companions, took
drive to the country and had what is gener-
ally called "a good time" On returning to
town in the evening, the alderman con-
cluded to keep the ball moving on. He
visited several saloons, drank freely, and
succeeded in provoking several quarrels
and, as usual. came out second best. At
saloon on North Queen street he used Ian
guage 50 insulting that q gentleman pres
ent slapped him in the mouth with
the open hand. At q later hour
he visited Copeland's saloon, on
Duke street, opposite the court house,
and became very noisy, insisting that those
present should drink ''success to General
Beaver" George Kline declined the in.
vitation, saying he would not vote for
Beaver and would not drink success to
him, whereupon Alderman Barr abused
Kline shamefully, said the Democrats had
bought HIN for $1.50 and that anybody
could buy him. He then struck Kline
three or four times in the face and applied
the most insulting epithets to him. Kline
seeing that the alderman was drunk used
great fOrbearance but finally event for
him" and would have thrashed him had
not Bankson Smith one of the policeman
recently suspended for insubordination,
sprung to his rescue and boasted that he
cOuldwhip any man in the room. This threat
and the attempt to dOuble-team Kline
brought to his rescue the strong arm of
locker on who believed in fair play.
Angry words followed, and very soon tho
policeman was hurled through a door and
into an adjoining room with Kline after
him. The bartender, unable to quell the
disturbance, sent to the station house for
the police. This had the effect to scare
off the disorderlies. Alderman Barr aud
the big policeman next went 70 Eugene
Bauer's saloon. The alderman was not
long in venting his spleen on ex Council
man Charles j. White, against whom he
has an old political grievance. After ex-
hausting his long list of OpprObriOus
epithets on White he shook his
fist in his face, boasted that he
had whipped White politically aud
could whip him physically right then and
there. In less time than it takes to tell it,
Mr.. White let drive with his right, plant
ing q sumner between the aldermau's eyes
that sent him sprawling to the floor. The
alderman sprang to his feet rushed at
White, but missing his mark tumbled be-
tween two chairs, barking his nose, cut
ting his mouth and nearly butting his
brains out against the wall. Meanwhile
mutual friends seized Mr.. White to pre-
vent him from further iDjuring the
drunken magistrate, and prevailed upon
him to leave the mouse to prevent
further trouble. Mr.. White LETT,
and walked leisurely toward his
home. Barr, with the ferocity
of q wild beast, rushed out of tho
bar room, as soon as his friends released
him, and followed White. On coming up
with him, aud before White was aware
that he was being followed, Barr struck
him from behind aud knocked him down.
In an instant, however, White was again
on his feet, and one well.directed blow
from his fist sent tho doughty Alderman
headforemost to the pavement, and White.
whose anger was now thoroughly aroused.
would havo punished his assailant severely
had not friends interfered and rescued him.
As it is, Barr got off with pair of black
eyes, skinned nose, lacerated lip and
a swelled head. He was taken to his home,
sick and sore, and put to bed, To-day the
magisterial Office is dark ; tho doors are
locked the shutters are tightly closed ;
aud it is given out that the alderman hat
gone to the country but those who know
better say that he is in bed nursing hi
wrath and his sore head, and considering
what he is going to do about it. 1t is moi
likely, however, that any justice will b'
dispensed from his hight0ned court fol
some days to come.
