On August ii Gerald Moore, business
man of this city, was arrested on the charge
of bgamy, and on being brought before
Judge Brill last week pleaded guilty, and
was sentenced 10 three years at Saltwater,
whittier Sheriff O'Gurman took him yester-
day. The charge was preferred by Thomas
Lodge, who claim that Moore, whose real
name was L. j. McAfee, had been married
to his (Lodge's) sister, in Dublin, before
meeting and marrying his present wife.
McAfee's present wife was the Baroness
Mutzenhoch, and was the daughter of Com
mauder Meade, of the United States Navy.
Since McAfee's arrest the lady has been
living at the Home for the Friendess, pro-
,ected and cared for by charitable ladies Of

WOMEN BULL FIGHTERS bull fight of

WOMEN BULL FIGHTERs.-A bull fight of
a novel kind took place at Tarragona on
Sunday, October II, the performers being
women clothed in the male torera suit. The
bulls were all young and full of fire. The
first cue let into the arena made straight for
one of the .oreras and sent her spinning in
the said several yards of. A second torera
rushed 10 the rescue with her capa, which
she waved before the bull to draw of its at
tenlior from her discounted colleague. The
bull accepted the challenge at once, and
with a rapid twist of the neck caught the
banderila and sent her flying. She fell on
in her retirement, bleeding from several
scratches The third torera then advanced
but no sooner had the bull caught sight of
ner than he bounded toward her and tossed
her. After this the bull took a quiet walk
around the arena, waiting for fresh sport.
No further competitor entering the list, the
crowd began to show signs of impatience,
which grew at every moment, until they
finally began breaking up the seats and
throwing hrckhats into the arena, yelling
ana,hemas at the cowardiee of the torera
company. The stewards then announced
that the money would be returned. This
was done partially; but the cashiers office
suddenly closed, that official having bolted
with the rest of the takings. A scene of in
descrihable uproar occurred when the fact
became known, and the work of demolition
was pursued with increased fury. The
geudarmes were called to restore order, but
only succeeded in adding to the general
confusion, in which they were roughly
handled. The arrival of three companies of
infantry enabled the managers to clear the
amphitheatre.: The most extraordinary
part of the affair is that, uudeterred by the
fate of the first company of toreras and their
manager, who were marched off to prison
besides. the work women of the tobacco fac
tories of Madrid are preparing to give an
exhibition OF their proves, and troupe is
organizing to do the round of the arenas in
all the principal towns of Spain.-Galig.
