a Vile ScoundreI Who Goes About
Abusing Ladies'.
Yesterday afternoon man called at the
rear door Of the residence Of Mrs. w. B.
c. Brown, Eleventh and III streets, and
asked for something to eat.
While she was preparing something for
him, he went halfway down the steps,
turned about and cursed her in the foul
est manner. He also swore he would
kill the Chinese servant and burn the
house.
The fellow was above the medium
hight, quite stout, wore light mustache,
slouch hat, and dark-brown or black
suit of clothes. He was rather good
looking. If he presents himself at some
house when the head Of the family is at
home it is hoped he may get warm re-
ception.

separation, but did not produce evidence
enough to prove the charge. The court,
therefore, refused to grant divorce. The

Why should there bo any hesitation

their flower market on Union Square open

crate about was whether to allow them Ia
