RIVAL R0OERS THESE.
Two West side foung M-n Cali Upon an
East Side Girl and Get BADLY Used Up.


James Lynn and John Lynn, two Young
men living over Eleventh street bridge.
were arrested on warrant yesterday,
issued AT the instance of isldridge X. Todd
aud Thomas Smith, both of whom live on
the west side Of the city. The arrest was
made by Officer Charles Hutton, who took
the Young men to the police station.
The facts i'll the case are these: Todd
and smith went to call on Il girl over
Eleventh street bridge, or at least that Is
what officer Hutton says. but it is quite
possible that there is another girl IN the
case. as some of the police are prone to be-
lieye that in view of the fact that there
were two fellows there must have been
two girls. This belief in no wise mitigates
the circumstances of the assault, however
for both of the lovers assaulted declare it
to have been aggravated and unpruyoked
The assailants deny these allegations on
the other hand, and assert that if the
West Side woOers do not remain ON their
own side there will be 10 end of
trouble. Consequently when Messrs. TODD
and smith appeared il tho lower end III
the Ninth ward ruesd y isht they were set
upon by the younEe, cyan and hcattTI,
it Is asserted, until their own mother
would not have known them. The Lynns
then made mp their minds to rum
Messrs. Smith and Todd, the officer de-
clares and the interference of peace.
makers probably prevented more serious
trouble Todd and smith retaliated by
swearing out warrants for their ussailants'
arrest, and the jealous lovers will be gwen

A Thrilling Discovery,

From Saturdays Hagerstown Mail.
To-day at one o clock, one of the
workmen on the drain in the Bald
win House alley got the end of his
pick caught in an obstruction, and
when he with an effort pulled away
the pick human head came with
it. His sudden cry of surprise
called to him the other workmen,
and they went to work at the bank
right against McLaughlin's stable,
and finally recovered a whole skele-
ton that lay as though it had been
doubled up when buried. The
most remarkable thing of the find
was that as one of the men lifted
the skeleton out the bony hand Of
another one was observed clinched
at the cervical, or neck vertebrae of
the first. The sight drew many
people and willing hands went to
work to unearth the rest of the Sec
ond skeleton.
When the earth was lifted it was
found crouched against the wall
with the arm outstretched toward
the throat of the first one, and near
the other hand was found an old
fashioned knife with a buck horn
handle. This skeleton was evil
IDENTIFY that of a tall one legged man.
All clothing had utterly disanneared
and not even button was found.
One of the men examined the
head of the first skeleton and found
that the pick had entered a round
hole just behind the left ear, which
looked as though made by bullet.
The head was a large one and was
well shaped, belonging apparently
to man who had been well in
formed and mentally balanced.
Who they are or how they died is

of course a mystery, and not one of
those about could suggest the slight
est possible clue to the men. One
gentleman thought probably that
they were the relics of some bloody
fight of the old Globe Inn; when
every man went armed to right a
wrong or avenge an insult, and
when gamblers were the principle
travellers along the coaching roads,
and that after their weapons had
done their work they were just
hustled under the ground just as
they fell, unnamed and uncofined
for after generations to speculate
upon.
The workmen lifted the remains
up on the high pile of earth in the
rear of the Trinity church, where
they were gazed at by many hun
dreds of people. Towards evening
they will be all covered up again.
