A warrant for lunacy was sworn out
against Ellen Downing by Mr.. w. T. Bel
ford yesterday morning. Miss Downing
was arrested the night before for attack
ing Mr.. Bedford. The case is queer one
Some of the people who know Miss Down

that she is peculiar. Her sister. Mrs
John Downing, created some surprise in
the police court by declaring that heT hus-
band had run her sister crazy and now he
was trying to run her crazy, too. II seems
that a family matter, involving some
property is at the bottom Of the trouble.
In the opinion Of the officers of the police
court both women are queer.

In and was royalty entertained by Mr.
Schroder. The brass band, after playing
several pieces, departed, and the string
band furnished music for the party to
dance by. The evening was such a pleas
ant one that time slipped by unnoticed and
II was quite a late hour when the guests
bid their host good night.
