A NEST OR NASTINESS
UP IN TIE SECOND WARD WHICH OUGHT TO
BIB CLEANED CUT.
A Dozen People Arrested From the Vicinity Of
Marks! Stree! and Alley Ska Wedding
Grows Out Of Il-Embezzlsr Ar
ras.ed-0,hor Criminal

Once more that vile nest Of outcasts
who exist in alley G, between Market
and Main streets, comes to the attention
OF the public.
The aggregation Of total depravlty
which finds its home in this locality is
largely made up Of former denizens OF
alley C, and the place is one Of the
worst. II not the worst, in the whole ex-
tent OF the city.
Whites and blacks, Americans, Ital-
ians, adults reeking with liquor and
vice, and children prematurely old in
sin, all find lodging place there, and
the sooner the authorities take
energetic measures In the matter the
better il will DO.
There was trouble In this delectable
locality Friday-or rather there was
more trouble than usual on that day
and out OF this aboat dozen arrests
and a wedding grew. Lizzie CarlesS, OF
unsavOry reputation, started the bail By
appearing az the office Of Justice Giles
DIV and swearing out warrants for Eliza
beth Harden, for adultery and fOrni-
cation with William Binkner;
Martha Davis, for adultery with Amos
Drew; for Amos Drew, for adultery
with Martha Davis; for Lizzie Neal,
for cOnsorting with B. Miller;
for B. Miller for living with Lizzie,Neal;
for Lizzie Harden, for adultery with
one Alexander; then Elizabeth Harden
got mad and she SwOre out similar war
rants for Molly Tucker, for living
with George Shell, Jr.; for Pearl Carr,
for living with Joseph Cavala; for JOS
eph Cavala, for living with Pearl Carr;
and for Lizzie Carless, for living with
one Dixon. Then others swOre out
warrants for various persons, all
OF whom have not yet beea arrested
and nice mess was stirred up gener-
ally. When Martha Davis heard Of the
trouble, she was seized with an idea
that IN she got married she could con-
found her enemies and get clear her
self, so she went to the Court House
Yesterday morning with Amos Drew,
said she was 9 widow, and getting a
license, the couple were mar
ried by Rev. Werder. The fact
is that Mrs. Davis isn't q widow
at all. She is not even divorced, as far
as can be- ascertained, but is still the
wife Of James Davis, who lived In this
city for wears, and who followed the
fortunes OF the Monitor Tow Boat Com
Danv as long as 10 was IN existence,
and then followed the Armstrong;, for
whom he worked, to Pt. Pleasant,
whore he still is. His wife left him
about four years ago. coming to this
city with several children, aud against
the advice OF friends, remained here.
She drifted into alley c company in a
short time dragging her children with
her, aud thus it comes she IS
in the predicament 10 which she
stands to-day. Yesterday Pearl
Carr. Joseph Cavala, Amos Drew, Liz
zie Neal, b. Miller and MolIie Tucker
were sent to Jail. Mrs. Davis went
there also, but succeeded in obtaining
bond later. The others named are out
on bail, and another batch OF prisoners
viii. likely be brought before the JUS
tice tomorrow.
The trouble was all made by the peo-
pie among themselves, but it's high
time the alley was cleaned out, and the
people who inhabit that portion Of 1t
driven out of the city. There are sew
eral children there who ought to be
placed in some institution.
