Morgan for Walking With Mrs.
Higgins-All Arrested.

James. and Mary Higgins Of No. III
Jersey avenue, and Charles Morgan of
No. PAT Twelfth street, were three pri-
soners before Justice O'Donnell this
morning. Their arrest reveals a pecu-
liar case of domestic unhapp1ness.

result OF their union has been five child-
ren. Their home was happy one until
three months ago when Morgan appear ed
on the scene and succeeded in disturbing
their happiness.

came infatuated with him. aud used to
| meet him on his way home from WORK

| untaithfulness until last night. when
| happening TO stroll throught Hamilton
Park he espfed his wife leaning lovingly
| on Morgan's arm.
| Higgins Immediately relieved himself
| of his coat and sailed into Morgan with.
out gloves. A fierce fight, which lasted
fully fifteen minutes, ensued. Morgan
| WIS given drubbing that he will not
soon forget. A policeman came along
| and locked all three up. When arraigned
| before Justice O'Donnell this morning
| both Morgan's eyes were blackened aud
| several of his teeth were missing His
| face was also cut in several places and
| altogether he presented q sorry sight,
| THE JUSTICE GIVES GOOD ADVICE.
| Justice O'DonnelI rebuked the man for
| attempting TO wreck happy home and
| imposed q fine of S. for fighting in the
streets. Justice O'DonneH gave his Gus
tomary amount of good advice to the
woman and also advised Higgins to do
no more fighting on the streets. Then
he discharged them both, telling them
that for their childrgn's sake they should
settle their difficulties at once and forget
| the pas.
