.wno STRUCK HARRY PATTERSON
How a bridgeport Father Turned the
Tables on His Son.

There was a rouSing three cOrnercd
family fight yesterday morning west oi
Bridgeport about half mile east Of the
Wheeling coal works, between dairy
man named William Patterson and his
two sons. William Jr.. and Harry. IL
seems that the boys have been in the
habit Of frequently turning IN and Civ
ing their father severe humping, com
pclling him To seek the services OF a
physician at Bridgeport on numerous
occasions. At last the old gentleman
became tired OF this sort OF thing and
determined To take hand in the fun
himself.
Yesterday morning the boys felt a lit
tie stiff and they jumped onto the old
man for exercise, but what was their
surprise when their father seized nice
large. hard club. which he had laid aside
for the purpose, and showed fight. In
fact. when the largest and oldest boy,
Harry. came al him he blazed away and
swiped Harry across his alabaster brow,
knocking him stiff, staring cold.
He then proceeded To finish the
lob by shifting his loving son Willie.
when a big buck darkey seized him and
held him until Harry had come 70, and
he and Willie had collected a lot OF
stones from of the pike, which they
threw at their father as he ran.
Harry had to have a terrible looking
cash about three inches long sewcd up
bya physician, aud the old man had 10
secure the assistance OF Constable John
stuff to get out his wagon. The old
gentleman got tired OF hearing the
question: "Who struck Billy Pattcr-
son?" aud 50 he changed it to 'Who
struck Harry Patterson" He did well.

Teller voted no. The bin having been
reported back from the Committee
of tho Whole 20 the Senate
the question of that amendment
came up again for action. Mr. Cock
rcil confessed that he was mortified and
humuiatcd at the fact that the great
Committee on Appropriations. headed
bv the distinguished Senator from Iowa,
had been Just ridden over rough Shod
by the Republican majority In de-
fance of every profession made by that
PARTY for the last twenty years. This
was reform administration, and

here was the Republican majority in
tine Senate creating two offices of no
more earthly benefit than the man burn
ing sticks in the moon. lie challenged
any man 90 show the necessity for the
creation OF these TWO offices.
Mr.. sherman suggested that Mr..
CockreI had been making a very great
affair out of very small matter. The
reason for the increase of the number of
pension agents was because the number
of pensioners had been vastly increased
So that TO was now practically impoSSi-
blc for the agentat Columbus. Ohio. TO
sign checks and such duty should not
bc delegated to SubordinateS. In the

at Columbus paid more than
one tenth Of AN the pensioners OF the
United States: he had 20 sign nearly so
600 checks 10 was % plain measure OF
public Justice He did not care who
were t0 bc appointed.
Finally the discussion closed, and a
vote on Mr.. Shormau'S amendment was
again taken. Il was agreed 20. yeas %,
nays 2I. Mr.. Payne again voted with
the Republicans. and Senators Allison,
