A KnOckdown Argument in Court.

There was an interesting and exclt-
ing contest III Justice Harrison 5 court
in Martinsburg last Thursday after
noon when Mr.. U. S. Grant Pitzer,
prosecuting attorney for Berkeley
county and a well-known Republican
lawyer, had fight with j. R. Clifford,
the negro lawyer and editor of the
Pioneer Press. Clifford represented
Emily Parker, who sued the "Sons and
Daughters of Enoch, " and Pitzer was
looking after the interests of the de-
PENDANTS Clifford wanted a mixed
jury, and Pitzer said the demand
should have been made sooner. Cliff
ford said he had done so. Hot words
were exchanged. The World says it
was not long before Mr.. Pitzer became
excited, called Clifford liar and the
compliment was returned. Pitzer
threw an inkstand and paper weight
at Clifford, both of which hit him in
the head and drew blood. The colored
attorney jumped upon table to get
at Pitzer, but in the melee was thrown
to the floor with his head in a spittoon,
receiving another wound in the head
The fracas was a lively one while it
lasted and caused great commOtion.
When things quoted down Clifford
got his mixed jury, but after all he
lost the case

Tolls 10 be Reduced.

A meeting of the directors of the
Maryland and Virginia Bridge Com
pany was held in Shepherdstown last
Saturday. Two new directors were
elected to fill vacancies in the board :
W. N. Lemen in place Of John D..
Staley and Towner Schley in place of
the late Col. Schley 1t was agreed
by the board to make material reduc-
tons in the rates of toll at the bridge,
and VIM. H. Billmyer, E. E. Billmyer
and D. S. Rentch were appointed a
committee to prepare new sched-
ule of rates, the same to go into effect
on the first of next January. The re-
duction will probably be about one
third from the present tariff. The re-
duction in toll will be greatly appre-
ciated by the public and we hope will
result in an increase in the revenues
of the company.
