WOMEN COME TO BLOWS.

One Charges Assault and the Other De-
famation of Character.
There was lively scuffie last evening
between two female occupants of the ten
ement house, No. 81 Manning avenue
Bridget Fallon, a muscular, fine looking
woman, had become so highly enraged
over derogatory reports concerning her
character which she claimed had been
spread by her neighbor, Mrs. Ellen
Toomey, that she embraced the first op-
portunity to get square with her de-
famer.
This she did last night by bouncing
upon Mrs. Toomey as the latter entered
the gate leading to her apartment, and
after calling her all manner of names
fairly deluged Mrs. Toomey's body with
series of Sullivan-like thumps, and had
the enraged woman not been pulled away
in time, Mrs Toomey, who is in delicate
condition. might have suffered severely.
This morning Mrs Fallon was arrested
and a hearing of the case took place before
Justice Lowy.
Michael Toomey, o relative of Mrs.
Toomey, from Brooklyn, testified that he
saw the fight, but being decrepit with old
age, was powerless to interfere.
Mrs. Gertrude Hill and Mrs. Kate
Sanderson also witnessed the fight and
testified in behalf of Mrs. Toomey. Two
young lady witnesses were produced by
the defendant, but they refused to make
q statement. The sequel of the story will
appear in Justice Weeds Court this after
noon, as Mrs. Fallon has had cross war
rant issued for the arrest of Mrs. Toomey
on a charge of defamation of character.

ATLANTIC CITY, July 10, 1SS9-The
crowd on the beach below Howard's Pier,
about half-past four o'clock yesterday
afternoon witnessed one of the most
thrilling occurrences which ever took
place on this coast.
A party consisting of Miss Rosa Kier,
of Philadelphia, whose mother is cot
tager here; E. J. Mills, of No 227 North
Eleventh street, and John NJ. Campbell,
of this city, persuaded Life Guard Ed
Bradford to take them outside the surf.
He yielded to their persuasion reluctantly,
because the waves were high. No sooner
had the boat cleared the surf when two
great waves rushed in upon it. tearing
the oars from the locks and breaking the
thwart on which Bradford sat. Finding
the boat helpless in the trough of the sea
Bradford called to his passengers to jump
overheard They did SO, though the
water was twenty feet deep.
Miss Kier was both frightened and eX-
hausted and was in immediate danger of
being struck by the tossing boat, which
lowered on the top of a wave just over
her head. John NJ Campbell saw her
peril and quick as flash seized her
by the waist and coolly dived under the
boat, bringing his precious burden safely
out on the other side. His brave act was
greeted with a spontaneous cheer from
the people on the strand and the numer-
GUS bathers in the surf who had stood al
most speechless and transtixed at the
thrilling scene. By this time Ed Brad
ford was joined by his assistant, Jack
Williams The boat was pushed aside
and the frightened and exhausted people
were brought safely to the beach.

HE KICKED HER DOG.

James Carey Convicted on Mrs. Mary
Jane Johnson's Complaint.
James Carey was the first of batch of
prisoners District Attorney Winfield
brought to trial in the Court of General
Sessions this morning. He was accused
by Mary johnson, of Virginia avenue,
with having threatened to murder her,
after which he beat her and knocked her
down.
Mrs. Johnson said that Carey was in
toxicated at the time and that the assault
was committed at her house and contin-
ued on the street. Michael Cautield, q
witness for her, testified that he saw a
dog jump at Carey, who afterward kicked
him.
He heard child scream and tell her
mother that Carey was abusing the dog
and Mrs. johnson came from the house
carrying stick under her apron. She
and Carey quarrelled and he pushed her
down. This evidence was corroborated
by others.
During the examination Counsellor Ry-
erson interrupted the witnesses so much
by trivial questions that Prosecutor Win
field angrily informed him that he was o
nuisance" and the Court sternly told
Mr.. Ryerson that he would not be permit
ted to quarrel with witnesses.
Carey when called to the stand denied
all the allegations, but the jury found
the defendant guilty.

The Success Of "The oolah.v y

Francis Wilson's magnificent comic
opera production, ''The Oolah," now run
ming to large houses at the Broadway
Theatre, New York, has become one of
the notable features of the theatrical
year. There is something so unique and
enjoyable about this performance that it
has caught popular favor and in spite of
the summer weather the cool and beauti-
full Broadway Theatre has become the OBJ
jective point of almost every stranger
stopping over in the Metropolis. Francis
Wilson, the merriest of comic opera
comedians, has achieved the greatest sue
cess of his life in the creation
of Hoolahgoola, the Oolah,
and when the excellent work he
ha s done in "Erminie,' 'Nanon,"
"Nadjy," "Princess of Trebfzonde.n
"Queen's Lace Handkerchief" and other
familiar operas is remembered this state
ment can be appreciated. Last Monday
The Oolah" entered upon the third
month of its run, and though it has been
usual forsueh theatres as remain open in
the summer to discontinue Saturday mat
inees at this time, they have not been nor
will they be discontinued at the Broad
way, for the reason that they show no
diminution in the attendance. In fact
Wilson and THE Oolah' are doing such
a remarkably large business that its big
boom will surely continue as long as they
stay at the Broadway. But the engage
ment will end in October.

Visitors Abused.
The meeting of the Veteran Soldiers
and Sailors Republican League at New
ark last night was made lively by the pre-
ferring of charges against the Soldiers
Home. The immediate occasion of it was
the rejection, by the Home authorities, of
William Cunning, naval veteran. The
Board is said to have been predisposed
against him because he is democrat.
sit is painful to me-" said Major More
house, that good soldier has been re-
jected from the Soldiers Home, and am
sorry to say that have lost all confidence
in the Soldiers Home and those in author
ity there. 1t has been said that we look
out for republican soldiers, and so we do;
but it doesn't matter to us whether man
be democrat or u republican so long as
we know he has been a good soldier and
did his duty. There should be no question
as to politics"
BY request of Comrade Kanouss, Will

was present and related the story.
He said he would mot renew his applica-
ton for admission to the Home, but
would work his way to Burlington, Ohio,
where he has sister residing
Major Morehouse added that he visited
the Home frequently, and stated that the
League heard of only about one-third of
the complaints that were made. He told
of one that came under his personal OBJ
servation, in which lady went to the
Home to visit her husband who was an
inmate of the Home. She obtained pass
and was admitted to the ward where, rs

MILITARY HoNoRs FOR A DEAD BIRD.
The methods resorted to by the mem
bers of the Second Regiment to relieve
the monotony of the routine of camp life
are novel and entertaining. Today a pet
bird belonging to member of the regi-
ment died. The boys improvised cata-
falque of cot and camp stool upon
which they laid the dead bird upon ma
tional flag. Then preceded by fifer and
drummer playing a dirge they marched
about their camp with reversed arms and
gave the bird military funeral.
Colonel Wanser, Major Mason and
Lieutenant Evans took their initiatory
dip in the surf this morning The Colonel
is an excellent swimmer, and ventured
with impunity far outside of the life line.
Captain Appeles, of Company A, was
the other evening which was played upon
him by the gun detachment.
Several of the boys concluded that they
wanted to stay up after taps. One Of
their number pretended to be terribly i'll
and another undertook to nurse him. A
few minutes after taps sounded the senti-
mel approached their tent and ordered the
lights out, but when he found the sick
man in great agony and the nurse vigor-
ously rubbing his head and hands the
sentinel reported the case to Captain APP
peles, the officer of the day.
The large hearted captain sympathized
| with the sick man and suggested all sorts
of remedies for his relief. Several times
during the night the sentinel and captain
visited the sick man. On one of these
visits the patient was in greater agony
than before and the sentinel hastily pro-
duced bottle of brandy, which, when his
back was turned. was quickly emptied by
those in the Joke,
