HERBERT FINED
Five Dollars for AssauIting j.
1. Kelly.

Charles E. Herbert was before Mayor
Evans yesterday morning on the char ye
OF assaulting j. l.. Kelly on Saturday.
The trouble grew out of an applica-
ton for divorce made by Mrs. Herbert,
using the name Of Mr.. Kelly as her next
friend in the suit.
MIR. Hardoway, as counsel for Mrs.
Herbert, appeared for Mr.. Kelly, not to
prosecute che case, but to bring out all
the facts, so as to set lis client straight
in the matter. Mr.. Perkins represented
Mr.. Herbert, and the testimony of Mr..
Kelly. Sergeant Jones and Mr. Herbert
was taken.
1t seems that Mr.. Kelly had some
business with Mrs. Herbert, who is his
sister-in-law, on Saturday, and desired
to see her. lie claims also that he
heard that Mr.. Herbert had abused his
tHerberts) wife and threatened her on
account of the divorce, and called on
Sergeant Jones aud requested that he
gave Mrs. Herbert proper protection.
Together the sergeant and Mr.. Kelly
went to Mr. Hcrbert's house. Tho lat
ter was absent, but just as they were
about to enter he appeared and spoke to
the sergeant. Turning to Mr.. Kelly he
asked him what business he had at his
house. Mr.. Kelly replied that he had
right to be there. Hot words ensucd,
and before the sergeant could prevent it
MIR. Herbert struck Mr.. Kelly under the
right eye.
Herbert stated in his testimony that
Kelly had been the cause of his domes-
tic troubles, and was endeavoring to
press the case of the divorce suit. He
claimed that his house was his castle
and that no man had right to intfude
there in his absence.
The mayor, in rendering his decision,
said that Kelly had q right, as the next
friend of Mrs. Herbert in such case, to
consult her at her own house, and espe-
cially so when he went with an officer,
showing that his intentions were peace
full. He considered the assault unwar-
ranted and fined Mr.. Herbert SIS.

Let Both Sides be Heard.

FROM the Lynchburg News.
IL the newspaper friends of Mr.. Cleye-
land in Virginia imagine that they can
head OIL opposition to their candidate
by any such absurd tricks of contro-
versy, they had as we'll undeceive them
selves right now. Those who oppose
the denomination of Mr.. Cleveland are
as much entitled to be heard as those
who favor it; their motives are as high,
their patriotism is as stout and their
devotion to the Democratic party as
constant as that of any set of men in
this commonwealth. The suggestion
that they are spoilsmen is sinister in
ventfon, contemplate subterfuge of
shallow dogmatists, whose chief stock
in trade is their gross adulation on the
one hand and u penchant for epithets
on the other. Speaking for this paper,
the friends Of Governor Hill in Virginia
are not to be whiStled down the wind in
any such trifling fashion. They chal-
lenge comparison of candidates in all
the broad elements of real statesman
sup and IN all points of personal and
political integrity. They invite seri-
Gus, courteous discussion, but thew do
not propose to be driven from the field
BY mean insinuation or blatant intimi-
datlon. They do not assert that Vir-
ginia is for Hill They want it to be
for him; they are trying to win it for
him, and it looks like their efforts have
not been in vain. Hence tho heathen's
rage.
1t is distressing to observe the pertur-
baton OF the high bound Cleveland pa
triots over the audacity of ordinary
people In presuming to oppose the as
pirations of their fetisch. 1t is painful
to see them fret their righteous souls
into state of frantic Indignation at
the bare idea of any contumacious repro
bate venturing to entertain an opinion
on this question of Presidential success
sion which does not accord strictly with
the preconccived preference Of Gods
chosen tribe of mugwumps. Their dis
taste for discussion now is only to be
compared to their impetuosity, lust
after the last election. in asserting the
inherent right of Mr. Cleveland to a
third nomination to the Presidency.
They supposed then that their cool as
surance would encounter no obstacle;
but now that other people have had
something to say on the subject, an at
tempt is made to cut off discussion, and
the opponents of Cleveland are fatty
charged with being noisy disturbers Of
the party's peace! When all was serene
for Mr.. Cleveland and the goose hung
high, it was eminently proper that his
trumpcters should wake tho echoes
with his praises; but now that the bugle
blast of opposing forces is heard in the
land there is prodigious cutlery
against the ''stirrer up of Strife" and
every expression against the dominacy
OF the cX-presidcnt is mot with the
trifling sneer OF the professional re-
former or the comic arrogance of the
political phariscc.

THE OFFICE PETS.
The Number Increased by SIX Sunday
Night.

During the past six months THE
TINES has been in possession of enough
animals to start an amateur ZOO.
First came tho owl. that creature with
the large, mournful eyes, but whose
soul was filled with such dark and
troacherous thoughts. This bird OF the
night, after nearly demoralizing tho
editorial and reportorial Stalls of the
paper, suddenly departed for new fields,
and the Office was minus a pot.
Before long this void was filed, the
new conner being beautiful specimen
of the male species of the feline race.
This gentleman was not only lord of
the editorial rooms, but also won his
way into tho hard and stony hearts of
the compositorS, SO that when he took
his departure there was general mourn
ing.
Then came another pot to gladden. tho
hearts made sad by tho two previous de-
scrtions. Notwithstanding tho shabby
way in which the last guest had treated
the Office the boys still chung to the feline
race and adopted Il sweet little creature
in black, whose aifectionate disposition
made all about the place her slaves. In
Another addition to tho ZOO camo
Sunday night when six of the dearest
little kittens imaginable were ushered
into this cruel world, their birthplace
being compartment of the desk of one
of the editors. This gentleman is noted
for his love Of children, and the Young
mother undoubtedly thought that
by choosing his desk she would have a
friend in court who would stand be-
tween her offspring and the cruel water
bucket, which checks the career of so
many kittens. But alas it was not be-
Although the gentleman made great
tight for his rights and claimed the
whole litter by right of possession. they
being horn in his desk, the printers
also claimed the whole thing, and by
right OF might solely, for all the editors
on the paper are too tender hearted to

grasped his victims and gently laid
them in q bucket full of water. Tho
end soon came, and poor kitties were
given printers burial, whatever that
is, for during the execution the mem
bers OF tho editorial staff had fled, the
only witness outside OF the compositors
being the telegraph operator, and his
nerves were so shattered his evidence
amounts to nothing.
The office still has tho mother and
three of the kittens. The fight as to
the ownership of these kittens is waging
fast and furious and blood is in danger
of being shed unless some kindly dis
posed outsider will come forward and
adopt them. That is, the kittens. The
mother must stay with the paper for
the Office secrets she has learned would
be fatal if they were divulged.
