FIGHTING FEMALEs.-During the
o.rly part of last night while gentle
man of this city was standing on the
corner of King and Alfred street mus
clar. looking mulatto woman passed
him mutt rng apparently to herself.
The gentleman subsequently started
north on Alfred street for the purpose
n calling on friend and after he had
proceeded half square he was startled
bv being struck on the back by brick.
He turned suddenly to see who his as
slant might be and found his visa Wis
10 be the woman he saw on the corner,
who was much excited and who &C
cused him Of insulting her sister. The
gentleman became indignant and ex-
cited and sent to the station house for
an officer TO arrest the woman. This
morning she was brought into the Police
Court with the sister.who it was alleged
had been insulted. The latter testified
that the gentleman who had been as
SAL ed had used improper language to-
ward her, and that had she had pts
tol she could have shot him. The fe-
male who gas accused of the assault
acknowledged that she threw the brick
and justified the SGT on the ground
that the plaintiff had insGited her sis
Ter. although she said she was not pres
ent when the alleged offense was CON-
mitted, but had heen told of the occur
rence aud followed the gentleman to
wreak vengeance on him. The Mayor
told her she should have made COM
plant at the station house and not to
have taken the law into her own
hands by waylaying the supposed ag-
gressor. He fined her 81, when she
used contemptuous language and was
fined 80 more. Five dollars of the lat
ter fiue, however. was RENTED. The
woman who said she had been insulted
seemed mixed in regard to names, as
she had confused that of the gentleman
assaulted with that of another young
man.

A eoTToMlEss PIT.
Rxploratlon-of = Peculiar Cavo Formation
In France.

In France.
Among the most remarkable of nA-
ture's wonders tho subterranenn pit ut
jean Nouveau, near Vnucluse, France,
which reaches depth Of FIVE hundred
and forty feet, while nowhere more
than twelve feet wide, has only recent
ly been explored. Tho French Society
of SpelcoloRy (cavo study erected
derrick Mt the mouth of tho pit which
begins with funnel fifteen feet wide
Mt the top md nArrows down TO three
feet Mt depth of about twenty feet.
From hero down the crevice in the
rock, for such IL Ii, extends vertically,
getting wider AZ IL extends deeper, un-
til ut q depth of about four hundred
and sevonty-f1ve feet II IL twelve feet
wide. AZ this point tho shaft opens
into q roomy cave in.which just beneath
tho opening Of the vertical pit thick
layer of clay, containing remains Of
bones, both human and animal, was
found. The explorers found no evi-
dence TINT tho place had ever been Wis
tied by man, but tradition has it that
criminals were thrown into the "bot-
tomless pitt" Hs IL was popularity called
in the neighborhood, and the remains in
tho cave just beneath the shaft tend TO
corroborate this belief.
Tho descent made into tho shaft was
exceedingly difficult; It established the
fact that there must be further cave
far below the one now known, but the
crevice through which It is accessible
is cholted up with debris and powders
30 that 1t will bc very difficult matter
TO penetrate further into the cavo than
has been done. The deepest point
reached in this crevice is five hundred
and nincty-three feet underground.
Great quantities Of water rush through
the SHIFT Nt every time there is a storm,
still no trace Of water was found in the
cave explored, which proves that some
other subterrnAean exit must exist.

USES FOR OLD RAILS.

Gently, snys the Railway Reviewer, an
official of the Pennsylvania railroad
stated the life of q rail ON the Pennsyl-
vania lines west il about eleven years
and on the Pennsylvania railroad only
nine years The difference is perhaps
due to heavier traffic on the Pennsyl-
vanis railroad. Tho friction of con-
stantly passing trains wears on the rail
until 1t must be replaced by q now one.
Tho company pays twenty-four dollars
= ton-now twenty-five dollars-and
the rrails used ON that line average
eighty-fve pounds to the yard. When
II has passed It's useful seage the rail is
replaced.
Tho old rails that are taken out from
time to time arc gathered up every
month and sold to junk and scrap deal
ers at twelve dollars ton. 1t can read
ily be seen that the company pays only
twelve dollars for the use OF rails per
ton. The price received from the scrap
man Is q good figure, when It is known
that the rails, when sold, are Of no use
to the company. Rsils that are not
much worn are sold to factories along
the road ut eighteen dollars per ton,
whore they arc used for sidings and an
swer tho purpose quito rs well as new
rails. There are many uses to which

Tor this morning he sold two pairs OF

two pairs OF pants valued at $40. were

wholly colorless.
The improb obabili of the story in detail
is also apparent. The cashier and brother
Of banker Is suspected of conniving
with swindler and Is thrown out into
the horrible EN- brace OF New York street
hospitality.
Thereafter he makes his home in
hovel on the river front and becomes q
cast-off, a pitiable bum. Every city has
an Old Lavender and In that fact lies one
of the strong attractions of the play.
Every outcast, however, does not have
bis wrongs righted Just when several
other things conspire to make amends
for past injustice.
The peculiarly unique and original part
OF Mr.. Harrigan's play was Mr.. Harrigan
himself in the pier scene, where he gave
q remarkably realistic representation of
the depths TO which man, formerly of
good social condition, may fall. Kindness
OF heart, submission TO fate and stu bborn
resistance to falsehood were the keynotes
10 the repulsive, and at the same time
lovable, character of Old Lavender, whose
dire straits enlisted the sympathy of the
large audience. In this act Mr.. Harrigan
illustrated the fact that he was good
actor and gave glimpse into the realm
OF character playing whore he made a ma
tional reputation by the aid of the metro
politan press in his own theater in New
York. This river scene is worth a visit TO
the Opera House. IL Will engender charity
and, perhaps, make the unthinkipg more
mindful of the unfortunates that sur
round them nearly everywhere in the
great world of misfortune, where circum-
stance is the supreme ruler.
Mr.. Harrigan sang several songs i'm his
own particular way that contributed
much to the genuine pleasure 0 ( the per-
formsnce. The supporting company was
OF average ability. Mr.. Collyer, long as
sociated with the star, made considerable
out OF Smoke, a sort of handy man with
strong tendency TO dog stealing Mr..
Braham gave a sincere impersonation of
Dick, the bootblack. The river front
scene was excellent. and the stage dress
ing generally was satisfactory. This |

again and tomorrow afternoon and even |

OF course his continuous perpetration
OF wrongs constitutes thrilling and at
all times interesting plot in the unravel-

friends have -the app:eciative sympathy
OF their listeners throughout the five
acts.
1.-The Cotton King" was played here
for the first time last year, but IL at once
became popular and at it's return this
season occupies a place under the cate
cory OF familiar and well.liked melo-
dramas replete with exciting incidents
and critical situations.
IL is splendidly staged and the cotton
mill interior scene in the fourth act is
particularly creoitsble.
The company engaged i'm the presenta-
tion of 1.-THE Cotton King" is fairly
good one, but unfortunately the talent
and ability all seems TO be with the male
members OF the cast.
Mr.. James NJ. Brophy. as Jack Osborne,
the Cotton King, proves himself equal to
the emergency OF delivering a long and
passionate defamation and doing ii
well.

eine driver. carries off the honors so far
as artistic portrayal is concerned and be

nifed part OF Fonseca, hnancier, ana
is most satisfactory.
Oscar Eagle, as stated before is able
enough to draw forth the Kisses, not for
his acting, but for the criminal propen-
sities which he so cleverly illustrates.

namby pamhy member of the English
clergy. and James +. Macdonald adds 10
