PUGLIsTS IN PETTICOATS
They Fight Without a Finish, a
Then Appeal to the Law.


Then Appeal to the Law.
Emma Chase, charged with battery by
Mrs. Josie Brooks, was tried before
Judge Cravens yesterday. Several wit
nesses testified, and the story given was
that both women are residing at an up
town lodging house, and that they had a
lively scrap on Monday morning.
Emma LETT the room for q few moments,
and when she returned found Mrs.
Brooks, the chamberInaid, in the room
and her purse minus some s. in coin OF
the realm. She accused Mrs. Brooks,
and a war of words eusued, which leo to
blows, of which Mrs. Brooks seems TO
have got the lions share. Mrs Brooks
thereUpon appealed to the police.
The evidence showed that during the
battle words were welded with bitter
effect, but that, after all, no one was
either killed, crippled or otherwise
manned.
The court with easy gravity intimated
that they would have 10. call again to
get Judgment, and dismissed the case.

Personal Bonds Abandoned.

The Cumberland Valley Railroad
Company has determined to abolish
the use of bonds of a personal char
acter as security for agents and 9th
er employees in positions of trust.
A contract has been made by Presi-
dent Kennedy with the American
Surety Company OF New York and
the Guarantee Company of North
America, and in the future these
companies will give bond for the en-
ployees, the number being divided
between them. The bonds are in
preparation now and the new order
of things will go into operation as
soon as possible.
Many points of objection can be
raised against personal bonds as
used by agents of sucha corporation
as the G. V. r. r., and following it's
usual wideawake policy the officials
not only secure themselves from an
poyances and possible loss but make
agents more independent and freer
from obligations to their friends.
