THE GREEN- EYED MONSTER. -Wm.
F. James and Louvenia Fisher, both
colorcd, were in the police court this
morning, the woman being charged by
the man with disorderly conduct. The
plaintiff, who wore Prince Albert
coat buttoned tightly its full length up
the body and a creamed-colored silk
tsck tie, urged his complaint against
!he woman in substance nc follows
He had been living with the defendant
for some time under circumstances in
nowisc creditablc TO either, during
which time he had promised TO marry
her. Joining church, however, few
DAYS ago, and having to bid adieu to the
world, the flesh and the devil, he had de-
termined to abandon louvenia and after
having bedecked himselfin faultless at
tire last night started for church-with
another dusky innamorata on his arm.
His deserted dulciana had met the
couple in the street, pulled James's hat
from his head, said she had the best
claim upon the attentions of the tickle
swain and had caused him much an
noyance. He desired relief from her
persecution. Mayor Strauss fined him,
upon his own confession, $50 for lascivie
BUSINESS, and having no money he will
doubtless appear in the character OF a
street cleaner, fhe woman, in her
statement, made ii evident that she had
been guilty of disorderly conduct and
was assessed $3.50. Her exchequer,
too, was empty, and she will probably
next appear in wash tub at the work
house.

AN IMPRoMpTU MARRGAGE.-A
young and comely woman, about
twenty years of age, named Dora Wilk-
erson, appeared at the station house
this morning and made serious COM
plant against young man named
Amer Smith. The latter was subse-
quently found and bot, parties were
arraigned before Mayor Strauss shortly
before noon. The prosccutrix in faint
tones described the relations which had
been existing between herself and
Smith, at the conclusion of which the
defendant was told there was but one
way to make proper amendment for his
conduct-that was to become q party
to matrimonial contract. Rev
Mr. Rice, Of the second Presbyterian
Church, was SUMMONED and upon his
