One man is as good as another here so
long as he conducts himself decently. In
group OF Nashville people, all dressed
IN their Sunday clothes, the visitor could
not distinguish the banker from the me-

all appear to meet on common level, and
no more courtesy extended one than the
other. This has nc reference to society
conventionalities. The reporter has no
opportunity TO know, but supposes that
the relations are about he same.

A WILD DAY IN MoRGANTowN-
Too Much FIGHTING TO BE COMFORT
ABLE-HAIR PULLERs HAVE THEIR
SHARE. This is usually a quiet town,
but it wasn't quiet Saturday by
an overwhelming majority. Several
things occurred to mar the even tenor
of its way. The first performance of
the day occurred on Long Alley, a
place which is getting a reputation
equal to that of Five Points, New
York, or Rat Row, London. There
were two actresses, Corind Walker
and Nan Snider and one actor, Billy
Price. They all acted quite lively.
The women did most of the fighting,
and pounded and scratched each
other like veritable Amazons while
Price did what he could. in his orig
inal manner, to assist and encourage
one of them. One of the women
used as weapon a chicken which
she was dressing for dinner. The
fur and feathers were flying at wild
rate when the parties were separated
and all three taken to the Bald Eagle
and safely lodged till such time as
they should be called upon to answer
for the deeds done in the body.
Sometime after dinner Marsh Nc
Gov, of Cass district and Jim Shafer,
man with whom the police now and
then have something to do, began to
attract a crowd around them by their
boisterous talking and wild threats.
For good while they kept up gen
eral hub-bub on the streets, talking
fight and all that kind of thing. Cit
liens and the police tried to separate
them and keep them quiet, but they
seemed determined to have it out right
then and there. They are enthusi
astic politicians on opposite sides
and moreover were a little "boozy'
and that accounts forit. They didn't
fight, however, but kept such dis
turbance that at last they were
marched off to Jail and shut up unit
Monday, when they were brought
before Mayor Wagner. Shafer con
fessed and paid his fine. Mccoy
was tried and fined $3.50.
During the meelee a great many
people became excited and in thu
the general disturbance DIR. Mackey
for some cause or other, hit j. G
Davis a blow in the mouth which lee
at once to blows and counter blows
DR.. Mackey was considerably bruised
about the face and shoulder, but wa
out again in day or two.
