CurabIe and InCurabIe.

In Beckford's Hall of Eblis, the
crowd is represented as running around,
each man with an incurable wound in
his bosom, and agrees not to speak of it.
How many there are all around us that
have the painful and wearisome symp.
toms of kidney or liver disease, but are
kept by false delicacy from speaking
Of it. But the disease is restrained by
no such feeling of delicaoy, but silently
and insidiously works on In the dark,
until the patient is compelled to call in
aid. How much better to take it in
time, and to secure Hunts Remedy,
the great kidney medicine, and give
the disease its death blow in its very
beginning. This is the one medicine
that can search out, root out, every ill
of kidneys or liver, and that cures cases
that seem incurable.

Assault and Battery.

The trouble between tha hack drivers
mentioned in yesterdays REPUBLICAN
eliminated last evening before the
Mayor, when William Purgis was
given q hearing on the charge OF com.
mitting an assault and battery on
William Mcdaniel. The evidence
showed that Mcdaniel wanted Purgis,
who was already backed up to the curb,
to move and give him room to back in,
and upon his refusing to do 80 backed
his horses 30 that the wheels of his
vehicle came in collision with the hack
driven by PurgiS. Some words passed
between the men, and Purgis threatened
to whip the other, when Mcdaniel got
down from his seat and was immedi-
ately attacked by Purgis, who dealt
him . number Of severe blows In the
face. The mans face bore the marks
last evening of the punishment he had
received. Several witnesses testified TO
the facts, and the Mayor imposed fine
Of % and costa, with the Rdmonition
that hereafter the pugilistic William
should learn to curb his temper.

A PhyurClAn's sad den Death. .

While driving In his carriage on
Fulton street, Brooklyn, yesterday
afternoon, DIR. Albert e. Sumner, o
we'll known homeopathic physician Of
that city, was suddenly taken i'll. He
felt that the illness was serious, and
directed his servant to drive with all
speed TO the house Of DR.. j. Lester
Keep, at No. 400 Clinton avenue which
was near by. DR.. Sumner had sufi-
cient strength to get out of his carriage
and sCagger into DR.. Keeps office. DR..
Keep administered such remedies rs
the case called for, but DR.. Sumner
was unable to retain any medicine in
his stomach. Within a few minutes
he became unconscious and died in less
than half an hour. Several physicians
we're summoned by DIR. Keep before
DIR. Summers death, but they were
powerless to save his life. Death, it Is
believed, resulted from apoplexy. DIR.
Sumner was about AZ years of age, u
man of full habit, and apparently Ia
robust health when taken i'll. His
family, who are In the country, were
informed by telegraph of his death.

LOuIsvIIIs a Fortunate CIsy,

This city has been singulavly fortu.
nate, aS several citizens have Of late
gotten small fortunes In drawing prizes
In the lottery. The last fortunate ono
Is Mr.. VIM. W. Irwin, a clerk In the
Auditors oE.ce of the L. & N. Il. R.,
I'd and Main streets. Mr.. Irwin yes
terday, while working in the Office, re-
ceived an official looking document
bearing the N. o. post-mark, and dis
covered, to his great Joy, official notifi.
cation that he had drawn one fifth Of
$4,000 in the Louisiana State Lottery,
amounting to $4,000. The lucky ticket
was No. 85,0O3. Some time ago Mr..
Irwin purchased his first lottery ticket,
very near the number which then drew
the capital prize. He then thought he
would again, and this time produced
such golden results. Mr.. Irwin is a
middle aged man, married and has q
small family. He has been connected
with the L. & N. for several years, and
has been a faithful worker, and many
friends are profuse in their congratula-

Chinese women as slaves.

Among the reported schemes for the
evasion of the Chinese Immigration
bill is one that Is designed to keep up
the supply of Chinese women, who have
always been few in number in proper
ton to the men. These women are said
in California to be bought and sold as
slaves, and should a scarcity in the
supply occur, their price would be like.
ly to 20 up to a high figure, say $500 to
81 900 each. But the Chinese traders
are likely to get around the immigra-
tion law by bringing on every business
trip two or three women apiece from
China, whom they will pass OF as their
wives. The immigration of merchants
and their families is not prohibited by
the new law, and 1t would be next to
impossible to disprove the claim that
women 80 brought over are wives duly
enrolled In wedlock. 1t might even
pay Chinese traders to make trips for
this special purpose.

Experience as a ChambermaI d.

Lizzie Hammond, a chambermaid in
a San Francisco hotel, being detected in
a fourth-story room where she had no
business to be, attempted to avoid ex-
posure by climbing out of the window
and sliding to the ground by means of
a telegraph wire that passed just with
in reach. Before she had descended
many yards the wire burnt her hands
as though it was red hot, and .she was
compelled to let go.
In falling her body bounded back and
forth between two parallel walls. This
lessened the momentum of her awful
descent, which was still further di-
minished by striking on a thin tele-
phone wire.
She thus escaped being killed by the
fall, but the physicians found that her
neck was disjointed as it would have
been by hanging.
They ehloroformed her, set her neck
back in the proper place, and now have
hopes that her youth and strong consti'
ton may carry her through.

FIGHT ON FRONT STREET.
a COlOred Man Beat by q Couple
OF ROuKhH Yesterday Afternoon

a NOAOEOU WNH nOnG ny - OUuplO
OF ROuEhH Yesterday Afternoon.
Yesterday afternoon, as two colored
men were going along Front street, Dear
Market, they we're attacked by couple
of roughs, who assaulted them without
any provocation whatever. The col
ored men succeeded in getting away
from them, when one returned to get
thu others hat which had been knocked
off during the fracas. As soon as the
roughs saw him they jumped on him
again and beat him nhamefully. The
colored man made his way to the hall,
and got officer Tibbett and George
Cooney to go with him to arrest them.
The men had continued on out Front
street, and when overJaken by the of.
ficers were near Harlan's. Officer Tib-
bett arrested one, when the other started
to run, closely followed by Cooney, who
overto ok him after a short chase.
When they reached Front and Market
streets the man commenced to tustle
with Coeney and tried to get away,
when he was tripped up, and in falling
his nose was skinned badly.
The prisoner still continued to strug-
gle, when Cooney called on Council
man William d. Quinn, who was in
the vicinity to assist him. As soon as Mr..
Quinn came over the prisoner kicked
him in the stomach, and hurt him 80
bad that Mr.. Quin said he did not
know for q minute or two whether he
was living or dead. Mr.. Moody then
came to the officers assistance aud
with the aid of pair of nippers that
were Obtained from Officer Tibbett, the
prisoner was brought along until Officer
Andrew Moore was met, when he was
taken to the hall without further trou.
be, although he made several efforts
to get his hand in his pocket on the
way. After he was put in the cell he
found in his pocket.
The prisoner gave his name as James
Kelley, and after the Mayor had heard
the above facts which were testified to
by several witnesses, he committed
him in default of 5000 bail TO answer at
Court.
The other man, who gave his name as
Harry Ward, did not make any resist.
ance, but came along quietly.
The evidence showed that he had
also assaulted the colored man, and
when the Mayor asked him what he
had to say about the matter, he replied
that he had been drinking for the past
two weeks and did not know what he
was doing, Ie had no recollection of
striking the man and did not know
that he had ever seen him before. The
Mayor remarked that he did not Won
der at that in the least, if he had drunk
any Front street whiskey, and imposed
fine OF S. and costs, which will most
probably have the effect of sending him
to New Castle jail. Mr.. Quinn said
that rs Riley was the ''contrariest" man
that ever came to Delaware, he wanted
to prefer another charge against him, of
selling goods without license, and he
was prepared to prove that he had been
selling razors for several days. The
Mayer replied that Mr.. Quinn could
bring that matter before the Grand
Jury, and he had no doubt but that
they would attend to it.
The Councilman gave the prisoner O
look of disgust, and with the remark
81 would like 10 send you to the dry
Tortugas," left the stand.
