4 BLissFUL HoNEYMooN.-Mu h
anus emcnt was afforded the patrons of
the City Market and the frequenttfs
along the Raito of Royal street to-dsy
by the presence of newly welded COT
pie, hailing from the historic neighbo,s
hood of Pohick, who had come to the
city on their wedding tour and had
been making purchases preparatory to
the furnishing of their own mansion.
The groom was fair specimen of the
verdant country lad, probably 20 years
of age, and his blushing bride was a
plump, rosy checked, bashful maiden
of is summers. After tour through
the neighboring stores they seated
themselves on some Of their purchases,
which had been piled against the mar
ket building, and INDUCED in fond cares
ses, utterly oblivious to all surround
ings, although hundred eyes were
slyly gazing upon them. Gratifying,
temporarily, the effulgence of their af
fiction, they sauntered through the
market, hand in hand, only to return
to their resting place to await the ar
rival Of more of their purchases. 4
few more embraces and they separated,
the bride venturing, alone, TO some
nearby store while the groom obtained
a chunk of ice which ne proceeded to
eat, presumably to console himself dur
ing the absence Of the bride, but her re-
appearance caused him to discard the
ice and take several more smacks from
her inviting lips. Finally, their one
horse wagon was loaded with their
goods and, mounting the vehicle, they
slowly drove away, he with his arm
around her, amid the we'll deserved
plaudits of their much-amused observ-
ers. May their fondness for each other
continue.

a WATER BATTLE AND FIGHT.-Af-
ter the fire in the house near the Jail
had been extinguished yesterday even
ing those having charge of the Hy-
draulion pipe threw water on certain
members OF the Columbia company. 1t
Is claimed by the first named company
that the act was the result of an acct
dent, though it was construed bv the
Columbia company into deliberate at
tempt TO wet its members and those
having charge of the pipe of that en-
CINE retaliated by turning the water on
the Hydraulion, wetting the apparatus
the engineer and driver. Angry words
followed and fight ensued between
two young men, members of the rival
companies, but neither was much hurt.
During the excitement somebody threw
a brick. This morning the parties en-.
gagged in the row were brought before
Mayor Strauss, who, after listening to
the testimony, most of which was by
no means conclusive, reprimanded and
discharged them all. Chief Engineer
Warfeld was not at the fire, he being
temporarily absent from the city, nor
was either of the Fire Wardens on the
ground

Mr.. CUvILLIER REPRIMANDED.-A
Washington paper says: Louis \. Gu
villier is young lawyer who came
from Virginia about three weeks ago
and began practice before the police
courts here. He has had an unusual
number of clients. Yesterday the
charge was brought before Judge Kim
ball that Cuvillier was not walking in
the straight and narrow way profession
ally; that is, he was accused ofsoliciting
clients and of having had more access
to prisoners than other attorneys. AZ
ter evidence had been taken showing
that Cuvillier had represented himself
as prisoners attorney and that the
accused had subsequently called for
ar. Sillers as his attorney, Assistant
District Attorney Pugh and Lawyer
Moss argued the case at considerable
length. Judge Kimball said 'cappins'
was very grievous ottense and that be
and Judge Miller had united to make
practice before the police court as hon
orabe as before any other court in the
District. 1t was not so considered at
present, chiefly because some people
thought that the poorer classes came
there, and that they were simply dupes
10 be skinned by legal gentlemen. Mr..
Pugh said that the members of the bar
were all pronounced in declaring
against Gaping" but when a case
came TO trial they were found siders
with the defendant. Lawyer Moss took
decided exception to this statement, as
it reflected upon himself He had
fought more cases of that kind, prob
ably, than any man present, but believed
in fair play and in giving an industrious
young man chance. Gaping was
practiced to q greater or less extent y
many of the lawyers, and it was not
fair to chastise the accused in the pres
ent instance unless the case was well
made out. 1t appeared to the court
that Mr.. Cuvillier had been too indus
trlous in the pursuit of his calling, but
Judge kimball did not wish to.be harsh
and dismissed Mr.. Cuvillier with Sc
we're reprimand.

STRUCK By A TRAIN.-A buggy con-
tanning Mr.. Henry G. Mockabee and
Mr.. VIM. II. Lacy, both of Washing
ton, was struck at the intersection of
Fayette aud Oronoco streets at thirteen
minutes past eleven O'Clock this morn
ing by south-bound Richmond train.
The horse attached to the buggy was
thrown sixty feet and instantly killed,
the buggy demolished and the occu
pants knocked about twenty feet. Mi
raculous as it may seem, neither of the
gentlemen was killed, though both
were much hurt. Mr.. Mockabee's left
leg was cut and bruised and his head
somewhat injured. Mr.. Lacy's right
leg was cut and he sustained other in
juries. They were picked up and con-
veyed to the residence of Mr.. A. III.
Travis and DR.. Jones summoned. The
later soon arrived and made both men
as comfortable as possible. They talk
ed freely for a while, but in about an
hours time began to grow restless, and
complained ofinward pain. Later thsy
sank into sort of stupor. The injur-
ed men were taken TO their homes in
Washington in a private conveyance
this evening. Messrs. Mockabee AID
Lacy were employed in erecting a
building on the site Of the Engelhardt
brewery in West End. They had driven
over from Washington and were pro
ceediug in westerly direction when
struck by the train. They had passed
the residence of Mr.. w. A. Smoot and
the high wall which surrounds the
grounds hid the approaching train.
They are positive they heard neither
bell nor whistle nor anything else to
warn them of their danger. Mr.. Mock
abee is contracting carpenter and Mr..
Lacy plasterer.
