Two Cutting Affr0ys,

The colored men employed in the street
sweeping department make enough noise
on the streets during the nights and morn
ings with their carts and shovels, and an
occasional song, but two members of the
gang varied the monotony this morning by
engaging in a street fight. They were Jas.
Green and Frank Plummer. The former
thought that under the new superintendent
they would have to do better work for
while and give the impression to the Com
missioners and others that the new broom
made an early move to sweep Clean Green
thought that Plummer was not doing just
had to do with 1t Plummer could not under
stand. and he told Green not to bother
him. But this only led to a quarrel and
the use Of bad language until blows were
inflicted, and Plummer used his knife on
his fellow workman. The blade of the
weapon penetrated GREEN'S light summer
clothing and made several ugly wounds in
his chest. The police patrol wagon re-
moved the wounded man to the Providence
Hospital where the physicians put him on
the road to recovery.
Two other negroes also INDUCED in a cut
ting affair last evening. They are Garfield
Golway and Frank Branson. The former
lives In Alexander court and the trouble
happened near Pennsylvania avenue and
DIST street. Branson, who is much younger
than Golway, drew a knife and stabbed the
latter in the side. He was sent to the
Emergency Hospital for treatment.

HE WANTS A DIVORCE.
Mr.. killian Makes n series of Charges
Against His Wife.

G. killian against Alice ID. killian. In his
petition Mr.. Killian states that he was
married to the defendant May l6 lisa al
the German Concordia Lutheran Church
in this city, and had eight children three
Of whom are now living. During the first
six years of their married life, says Mr..
killian, his wife demeaned herself correct
ly, and was kind and affectionate toward
him. but thereafter her action and manner
underwent a complete change, and she be-
came abusive and harsh i'm her language
and demeanor. using vile. indecent and pro-
fame language. Mr.. killian says that he
endured these things from 1881 to May
1875. as well as ungovernable fits of rage
on her part, during which she would throw
crockery about the house, breaking IT. and
would if the table happened 10 be set, pull
all the dishes of by pulling the table cloth
of and letting the dishes fall to the floor.
About May, 1SS5, the husband says, his
Vile left him. and was absent about three
weeks, and again, about July l of the same
year, she went OF and lived in open and
notorious adultery with one Tenly until
January 2, 1857, when she gave birth TO a
female child, Of which Tenly is the father
Since that time, Mr.. Killian recites. his
wife has continued to live with Tenly and
has had four children by him. Ii is also
Mrs. killian contracted the habit of drink
ing to excess, and was very frequently IN
toxicated.
Mr.. Killian claims that during all his
maTied life he was a model husband In
addition to the divorce, the care, custody
and possession Of the three children are
asked.

IN THE CHURCHES.

Tomorrow being the first Sunday In Sep
te,ober, many pastors will be seen again in
their pulpits after an absence Of some
weeks and many will be In their accustomed
places in the pews who have likewise been
away during the summer. The LIST Of Sep
TENDER always brings back large majority
of those that have been away for their sum-
mer rest, and although many will not<re-
turn to the city until the middle of the
month or the early part Of October, the
churches will be well filled tomorrow with
the regular attendants for the first time In
some weeks.
Those who have been In the city for the
greater part Of the past two months and
have attended service at their own churches
have had, no doubt, an opportunity of hear
ing different preachers. There have been
no small number Of ministers here from
abroad who have acquired distinction In
their own pulpits and whom 1t has been a
great pleasure to hear. Then, again, during
the summer persons are apt to visit other
churches. This summer has been no ex-
ception to the rule, and, as usual, there has
been a good deal of visiting about, and the
members of the various congregations
greatly to their advantage, have become
better acquainted with each other individu-
ally and with each others methods of work.
Most of the choirs will be on hand also to-
have been rather broken up in many of the
churches. The principal singers and the or
ganists have been on their vacation with
the rest of the world.
As to plans for the winter, the pastors
have hardly got sufficiently settled to be
thinking about that yet.

Thieves Make Away With the None,
of Two Ladies',

The police are looking for two stolen
pocketbooks, and they would also like to
get the persons who stole them. One of
the missing books was snatched from Mrs.
Tabler, a resident Of street northwest
between Sd and IL streets. She had been
to market, and was returning home. When
near the corner Of 1-2 and c streets a
small colored boy approached and snatched
from her the purse, containing about s35

Some Good Scores.

CAMP WERTS,
SEA GIRT, N. j. August 81, 1894.
A 'fshtal'' wind from the rear was the
cause of many surprises today. 1t played
with the long red streamers on the alti-
tudinouS poles, and dallied with the hopes
and fears of the experts from o'clock
when the light was gray and the atmos-
phere smoky-until the shades of night
were almost down-when the vanishing
sun was clear and strong. Shots that were

"threes'' and even "twos," and great was
the wailing thereat All that experience

able extent, solved the mysterious move

were put up, both at 200 and 800 yards.
The best done at 200 yards was by Com.

Capt. W. l.. Cash departed for Wash

one of the most enthusiastic of the Dis
trict detachment but even the most ac-
tive variety of enthusiasm has to SUBJ
