ANOTHER CLOTHES LINE Scrap
Two Marys of the Top and Bottom
Floors Mix 1t I'm,

Mary Bard, 80 years old, and Mary Bur-
CESS, on the shady side 0 ffhe same age,
both reside at No. $40 st. Paul's avenue.
The house in which they live is a fiat and
one lives on the top floor, while the 9TH
er's headquarters are on the ground floor.
They nave never been good friends, and
for some time past the house has been
unpleasant for the other tenants by rea-
son of their quarrels.
Yesterday they again exchanged COM
plimen.ts from their respective floors.
After about a half hours war of words
another tenant in the house asked them
why they didn't go out in the lots and
finish it in a decent manner. Mrs. Bard
thought the idea a good one and down the
stairs she came with a bound. When She
reached Mrs. Burgess she invited her out
to scrap but that lady refused to bulge.
Then Mrs. Burgess alleges Mrs. Bard
struck her. At any rate she had Mrs.
Bard arrested on a charge of assault this
morning, and the case came up before
Judge Douglass.
Another clothesline fight remarked
the judge. as he laid the case over for a
few days until he could ascertain just
which one of the 'fightin' ladies" is to
blame.

Frank Van Buren's, in Brunswick street
near Railroad avenue. Frank a
Buren, testified he bought # from Sachel.
Things were looking blue for the defen-
dant, but frightened up as the defence
was put in. He had testimony to prove
that he found the wheel on the dumps.
i was badly broken and he took It to
Van Buren,S to find out how much 1t
would cost to have it repaired. He was
told SO and as that was more than he
could afford he returned the next day
and soadsi for $1.25. a Buren, repaired
IT and put it out in front of his shop

MAN AND WIFE MANGLED.

PORTSMOUTH. N. H, July II, 1885,
Two persons probably met their death
last night while walking on the tracks
of the Boston and Maine Railroad. About
midnight Yardmaster Jones found a man
lying between the tracks with his head
crushed. About six feet away was found
a woman hat, a and a black bor-
dered handkerchief, while some feet
away was found a pool of blood and
hair in which were several hairpins.
showing hat a woman had also been In
jured. Search was made but no trace of
her could be found. It is thought by the
railroad men that the Bar Harbor ex-
press. due here shortly after IL struck
them.
The man has been identified as James
Cate, and the cape and hat correspond
to those worn by his wife.
