4 Lively Row.

Saturday afternoon there was nice little
row over in Georgetown which ended UP in
a technical assault case. A young white
man by the name of Ben Peters delivered
some milk 10 Mrs. Laura V. Sullivan, an
elderly lady with a rather quick temper.
Now, Mrs. Sullivan insisted that she didn't
want any milk and ordered him off the
premises. a Nordy war ensued, in the
course OF which she called him a dirty, low
lived Irishman.
Il am Irish responded Peters, and i
am proud Of it"
It was little hard to follow the details
of the trouble from that point on, for Mrs
Sullivan had Peters in the Police Court this
morning. one thing was clear. and that
was that II was a first-Class row, in the
course of which Mrs. Sullivan fired a pair
OF shears at her enemy, at the same time
casting some very awkward criticisms on
the moral character of his mother
And then, Judge" Peters admitted, Il
let fly a milk can at her. 1t didn't hurt
her bit, but the milk went all over her
| did ii for what she called my mother"
Judge Mills told the young man that no
matter what was said II was an outrage for
him TO commit any such assault on an
elderly woman. and he imposed a fine of
SO OF sixty days in Jail.

TOOK THE FURNITURE.
A Local Prize Fighter Protects His
Household Goods.

William Northridge, the local prize fighter
was defendant in Judge Taylor's branch of
the Police Court this morning on the charge
of disorder According to the evidence In
the case Northridge lives with his wife at
40 Pennsylvania avenue, and some time
ago bought some furniture on the INSTALL
ment plan, and yesterday, in his absence a
couple of collectors went to the house and
attempted to remove the furniture, on which
about $50 had been paid and $40 was still
owing.
In the melee, Northridge said, his wife was
seriously assaulted. and, he saw the oc-
currence from the street, he went to her
rescue. He claimed that there was no as
sault, but that he simply tried to keep his
own.
John Moritz, collector for p. j. Nee,
who was also under arrest for this dis
orderly assemblage, said that he went to
the house to get some furniture on which
nothing had been paid for more than q
year laSt. He produced a COPY of one of
the iron-bound contracts which always play
such prominent part in these furniture
raid cases. This contract he read over to
Mrs. Northridge, but she told him he would
have to resort to proper legal means to re-
cover the goods. Then he took them by
force, under the terms of the contract
In making his decision Judge Taylor said
that the Supreme Court had decided that
these contracts were legal and that the
title for furniture so purchased did not pass
until the entire amount had been paid The
dealers, however, had no right to follow
such tactics.
NCrthridge and his wife had acted unite
properly in protecting their premises
He fined Moritz and the colored man who
assisted him in making the raid SO each
ana dismissed the case against Northridge.
