RECORDERS COURT.
Row in O Bagnlo- Miscegnatlon A
Jealous Mary.

The docket In this court this morning
was not very large, and very little OF In
terest TRANSFERRED.
Five representatives of the deinl-
monde were on hand in their silks and
rouge, gaudy jerseys and flaming hose.
The reason Of their visit was that one
Of their number, Georgia Pearman, an
innocent little lamb, went to the bagnio
| of Lou Lamont and vented her spleen at
some real or fancied grievance done to
to her when she formerly resided there,
and as consequence the lace ~ cur
tains in the parlor were torn. The
aforesaid Lou and Jennie Woods, an
other denizen OF this bagnio, attacked
the festive Georgia and there was reg
ular hair pulling picnic. Charges were
preferred against Lou and Jennie before
The Recorder, and each was fined 50,
and they made counter charge against
Georgia for being drunk and disorderly,
but the case was not sustained and was
dismissed.
Officer Westmoreland, the Senegam-
bian policeman whom all the fair frail
ones are in love (?) with because he ar
crult this morning in the person of EN-
ma Mayshick, widow of uncertain age
and very unprepossessing In appear
ancc, whom Westmoreland declares Is n
white woman who was married to Eph-
rain Mayshlck. u colOred man, and lived
with him for wears. The charge of be-
ing n public prostitute has been pre-
ferred against her, and the main witness
against her Is n negro woman named
Mary Little, who prefers the charge out
of jealousy, because Emma has won
from her her Ethiopian lover, Charley
Taylor. The case is to be Investigated
tomorrow morning.
Charley Taylor, the aforesaid, was
also charged with beating and striking
his dusky admirer, Mary Little, few
nights ago. She went to Emmn's house
and tried TO get Charley to go home with
her and he struck her twice in the face.
They have since made friends, however,
and Mary did not like to testify
against him this morning, say
ing that If she had not been
angry at the time she would not have
had him arrested. This would not sat
isfy the Recorder, however, and the old
saw of "he who dances must pay the
fiddler" was well exempliiled in this
case, when the brutal Charlie was fined
$40 by His Honor. Charlie went to jail,
while Mary rustled for the money for his
fine.
J. J. Mallard. man who was driving
two-horse wagon along one of our
crowded streets yesterday, and who ran
the tongue of his wagon into the sewing
machine box of a sewing machine agents
wagon, was charged with driving care
lessly, but was dismissed, the evidence
showing that the sewing machine man
slowed up suddenly and the accident
was unavoidable.
The cases of W. NJ. Whitford and Al
bert Solomon, for fighting, Whitford
continued and Solomon fined 81.

GUENTHER's BEST FLOUR

hNtNlnEh . bi.0i fLoiR
Is worthy of being recommended 10
every one ilrst-class flour, II IL not
excelled ny any other in quality and
taste. This flour is not claimed to be
patent flour, but 1t is manufactured by
mills that are furnished with all the best
improved machinery, and only the very
best wheat Is used; the flour not only
contains the starch OF the wheat, but
also the gluten, which secures the origi-
nal strength and taste of wheat flour.
The real white patent flour contains
very little gluten, and is, therefore, less
nutritious. Guenther's Best Flour has
been In the market since 1861, and Its
name was never changed. Since then
many different kinds of flour, with high
toned names, and ornamented with di-
plomas have been introduced into this
market, but nearly all Of them have
silently disappeared. The wheat crop
has been very good this year, especially
In Northern Texas, and the manufac-
turers Of Guenther's Best are now able
to furnish good flour at very reasonable
prices. The flour is not retailed at the
mills, but In order that customers may
have the flour fresh, 1t Is delivered daily
to all leading grooers.

A GROWING DANGER.
Rout the Tramp Some OF Their
Methods and Devlltry.

Methods and Devlltry.
The tramp nuisance is getting posi-
lively unbearable. Daily there come
complaints of the depredations OF these
worthless sooundrels in our city, of
citizens being stopped nightly, in out of
the way portions of the city, on the
darkest streets and asked % for II quar-
ter, or sometimes more money, and vir-
tually inundated into giving them the
money. Frequently they run in pairs,
and unless n citizen has good revolver
in his pocket, their request for money is
seldom unheeded. Many petty attempts
at burglaries have been committed in
various parts of the city during the past
few nights and the reports are not all in
yet, Again, from Avenue G. and other
portions OF the Third ward, comes the
startling intelligence that several brutal
assaults have been committed on several
ladies who have had errands away from
their homes after night fall. A few
nights ago, shortly after dark, n lady on
Avenue &, who had occasion to step up
the street, was seized by the hand by II
rough looking tramp just outside her
gate. She screamed and he let go his
hold ana ran oil. \ young girl of
Is, living near the Emgrants Home,
on Austin street, ran over to n neighbor-
ing grocery store few nights ago, and
was seized by the throat by tramp,
who attempted to force her to give him
the money she held in her hand. Her
screams brought several men from the
house, who pursued the fellow to the
lumber yards near the depot, and there
he gave them the slip.
The efficiency of the city police is not
| questioned in this matter. The police
force Is none too large or literally dis
tributed In the enyirOns of this city, but
responsible citizens living in the out
skirts should be allowed by the City
Marshal to carry weapons Of defense at
night.
