Has His Woman Arrested for
Creating a Scene.
The Twain in the Police COurt-The Tale
of Use and DesertiOn-He Himself
Goes Her Bail.

An arrest on the charge of disOrderly
conduct, attended by more than the Ordi
nary circumstances, occurred yesterday
in the First Police District. The ac-
cused was a rather cOmely- looking WO-
man about thirty years of age, who de-
scribed herself at the Central station as
Elizabeth Brown, Detroit, Mich. The
party to swear out the warrant against
her was Mr. Edward Scripps, one of the
prOprietOrs of the system of cheap even
ing papers, including the Penny Post Of
this city. About four o'clock in the
afternoon an attache Of the Penny Post
notified Officers Egel tjn and Perry on
Plum street that thDy were wanted at
the Penny Post office, on Home street.
They responded to the summons and at
the door met Mr.. Scripps, who told them
that a woman with whom he had once
been intimate was in his office and he
desired that she be removed. The Off
GERS advised him to get a warrant. Ac-
cOmpanied by Officer EgelstOn, he went
TO Police Headquarters and Officer Perry
remained at the office. In the mean
time the woman came out, but Perry
told her to remain; that Mr.. Scripps
would return shortly. To Prosecuting
Attorney Caldwell Mr.. Scripps said that
he was once intimate with the woman
in Cleveland, but had endeavOred to get
his office and demanded money and
created a scene, and he wanted to dis
pose of her in the most quiet manner
possible. He swOre out a warrant charg-
ing Miss Brown with disOTderly con-
duct, and Officer EgelstOn took the dOcu-
ment and returned to the office. When
the warrant was shown to the woman
she said her name was not Brown, but
that it was Scripps. The officer started
to change on the paper, but she told him
not to mind, and accompanied the officer
to the station without further trouble.
She was released at once, Mr.. Scripps
having deposited her bail in the sum of
S25, when he had the warrant issued.
Before leaving the station she told Ser
geant RittWeger that she wanted to see
Mr.. ScTipps, but the gentleman was not
present. She refused to talk to report
er, but it was learned that she arrived
in the city very short time before she
called at Mr.. Scripps's office. Mr.. Scripps
was seen in regard to the affair, and did
not hesitate to talk, and said that his
friends in Cleveland were familiar with
his troubles with the woman. When he
first arrived in Cleveland a few years
ago to start a paper he was young and
quite naturally fond of life. He met
Elizabeth Brown, who was in need Of
friends, having been left a short time
previous Dy ubF lONbEs Ol6 - buo
daughter of a man with whom he was
acquainted. He treated her we'll and
provided for her some time. Bot grow
ing older and becoming prosperous in
business and at the head of a paper, he
saw the necessity of changing his habits
and took steps to get rid of the woman.
The matter was not an easy one, as the
episode of yesterday shows. Some time
ago when he went to st. Louis he was
followed by the wOman.-Cincinnati

1t is the Scripps organ in Cleveland
that is villifying John G. Warwick, and
commanding as a saint, the Republican
candidate for Lieutenant Governor, who
lives in Cleveland, and whose name is
VIM. G. Rose. The crusade of lies started
against Warwick reminds us of the
Know Nothing campaign of 30 years ago,
