PAIR OF BLACK EYES.
A Junk Dealer in Oak Street Comes to
Grief-Moriarity Tells Different Story.

A Junk Dealer in Oak Street Comes to
Grief-Moriarity Tells Different Story.
Mayer Schoenig, who lives at No. go
Commerce street and gains livelihood
by dealing in junk and old rags, was
plying his trade on Oak street yester-
day afternoon, when crowd of boys
began teasing him. The peddler re-
sented the action of the boys and soon
mansions, in consequence of which
Schoenig and Daniel r. Moriarity, a
man living at 119 Frank street, were
arrested for mutual breach of the
peace.
Schoenig says that Moriarity attack
ed him without provocation, calling
him vile names, pulling handful of
his whiskers from his chin and hitting
him first on one side of his face, then
on the other. Schoenig exhibited a
pair of black eyes, one of which was
entirely closed.
Moriaritys version of the affair is
that he was passing along Oak street
wheeling his baby when he saw the
fracas and stopped that he might have
better view of what was going on.
Schoenig, according to what Moriarity
says, seized hold of him and tore the
coat and vest off him. He says that
he did not hit Schoenig at all, and that
he is the aggrieved party.
Officer Durham, who patrols that
beat, saw the large crowd and when
he made. his appearance Moriarity
started to run. He led the officer
long chase, but the plucky officer ran
his man down and led him to the call
box when he was started for the police
station.
Both will have chance to tell the
story in the city court this morning.

DIR. Damon Applies aud Directs 1t, with
unerring Success, in the Treatment of
Every Disoase-It Cures Where Every
thing ELSE HAS Failed.
When bakers go on horseback, men
or letters in carriages and doctors on
loot then the empire Is well governed
and prosperous, so say the Chinese.
Certainly the only way to reach such
an suspicious state in this land Of the
brave and the free Is through the W.
tapathie method of treating disease.
In time 1t viii be the inevitable fate of
the doctors to "go on foot, however
disappointing this condition may be.
Cf course there will be some excep-
tions as to every rule, but chiefly
among the Vitapathic who are bound
TO be kept too busy to walk i'll MAX
ing cures of cases abandoned by the
other physicians as helpless. In this
age of evolution and progress this is a
1oregone conclusion, as can be readily
shown by the marvellous cures the vi
tapathic doctors are making from DAY
to day, and week to week. Herewith
is submitted few Of the many cases
that Or. Damon has examined and
cured during the past week, assisted by
his accomplished corps of assistants:
Mrs. Mary Coleman of Grand avenue,
after having been treated by numerous
doctors for rheumatism and paralysis.
Mrs. Ellen Anderson of Winsted, re-
lieved Of tumor of is years growth.
Mr.. John Evans of Broadway, of
deafness and neuralgia of head and
stomach; a great sufferer.
Mrs. Sarah O'Connor of Danbury, Of
rheumatism in the knees and stomach
trouble; suffered for twenty years, and
bed-ridden a greater part Of the time.
Invaiids should remember that DIR,
Damon makes no charge for consulta-
ton, while his terms for treatment are
tar below those of other first class spec
ialists.
