A WOMAN BADLY BEATEN.
Miss Mendoza Gets the Worst of Little
Encounter.

Viola Mendoza Is woman of bad char
acter. She lives in East Raleigh on
Swain street. r. d. Garner is sign
painter by trade, and has been at work
on odd Jobs here for some time.
Friday afternoon Mr.. Gardner called
on Miss Mendoza. He remained in her
house until about Z o'clock. Thus far
accounts agree, then they diyerge very
materially.
The woman says that Garner was
drunk and cursed and abused her, re-
fusing 10 Leave the house, and that she
got her pistol to make him leave. When
!. She did this. according to her story, he
became very meek and humble, saying
that he had meant no harm. Soothed
by his pacific words. Miss Mendoza al
leges that she placed the pistol on the
mantle, and turned to get some wood
when Garner struck her. lie knocked
her down, she says, stamped her in the
face, and beat her badly.
Garner tells quite a different story
He says he entered the woman's domicllt
at her solicitations; that she attempted t.
extort money from him, and upon his re
fusal, she drew her pistol and he struck
her In self-defense.
At any rate the woman is badly beateT
up. and Garner was yesterday arraignef
in the Mayors court. But on account Of
the woman's condition, the trial was post
poned till next Thursday, Garner being
released on a 500 bond.

sHARKEY WANTS THAT MONEY

San Francisco, Cal, Dec. ga story
that Sharkey is willing to compromise
with Fitzsimmons has gained currency
although it has no foundation in fact. 1t
was represented that agents Of the sailor
were willing to give Fitzsimmons $1,000
out Of the purse. This is vigorously de-
MED by Sharkey and Lynch, who insist
that they will claim every cent Of the
money that represents their victory. They
have made no overtures to Fitzsimmons
since the fight, and they viii make none.
Local book-makers are now paying bets
on the fight. They have accepted the de-
cision Of carp as final, and are giving the
winners what is due them. This has had
marked effect in silencing the storm of
angry protests and arguments.

termination to have their sex make the
laws to govern the town.
Since the exciting episode on the
school board the Marcellus new woman
has thrown off all guise and come out
boldly for her rights. Her advance
ment has been SO rapid and amazing
that the men have stood silently look
ing on, utterly powerless to prevent the
onward march. Transformation after
transformation followed in rapid sue
cession. The new woman embarked
in business to the CONSERVATION of the
men, and, what was more: was wonder
fully successful. The men finally &C
knowledged themselves to be back
numbers, and since then in many
homes the domestic affairs have sim
ply changed about. The women now
go to lodge and attend meetings of the
clubs, while the poor husbands remain
at home, caring for the babies.
The first to enter into business was
Mrs. Anna Walters, wife of Undertaken
Elmer Walters. Her husband has been
in the undertaking business for many
years. About year ago Mr.. Walters
was taken i'll, just at the time when
business in his line was exceedingly
brisk. He was without an assistant,
and was in despair. But he had not
reckoned on the ability of his wife. She
boldly assumed his position in the I'M
taking establishment and attended to
tho rontc of cv,ctou,orc nc uro1l nc ho
could himself. Usually woman is
timid when handling, or in the pres
ence of, the dead, but not so with Mrs.
Walters. During her husbands long
illness Mrs. Walters was called upon
time after time to visit homes where
death had occurred, and perform the
last functions. Her success was great,
and at last, when Mr.. Walters was
again able to attend to business, he
found that his wife was as entirely ca
pable Of conducting it as he. Since then
she has acquired the art of embalming
and undertaking, and after an examina-
ton next spring, when she expects to
get a diploma as full-fedged under
taker, Mrs. Walters intends to form a
partnership with her husband in the
business.
Not a whit behind Mrs. Walters in
point of business ability is Mrs. Melissa
Decker, wife Of Barber George w.
Decker. She has been new woman"
for a longer period than Mrs. Walters.
and like her her success has been phe-
nomenal She is a barber by trade.
and wiel6s the razor and shears with
skill. For nine years she has found
time to hold chair regularly in her
husbands shop, and she calls next in
a manner that would do credit to an old
timer. Her fame as barber has ex-
teaded far and wide and In consequence
The Globe-republican., 1896-02-06

are Mrs. J. Crowley and Mrs. G. w.
Davis. The former, who is the wife Of
one of the earliest settlers in the VIII
lage, is over 60 years old, but in spite
of her advanced age she is intensely in
terested in having members of her sex
put on the same scale as the males.
She is really the originator of the new
woman movement in Marcellus, being
first to denounce the methods employed
by the school board in conducting az
fairs. She enlisted the feminine popu-
lation in her aid, and entered into a
hot fight of reformation, in which she
came out victorious.
Her chief aid was Mrs. Jones, who
was the wife of G. w. Jones, wealthy
banker. Mrs. Jones is more modest in
demanding the rights of her sex, but
is very energetic, but since the move
ment has become widespread in the viii
lage she has become one Of its firm
supporters.
Both are members of the w. c. T. o.,
Mrs. Crowley being president, and both
are bitter enemies of the saloons. One
of the principal movements which they
have planned for the coming spring is
to abolish the sale of intoxicating
liquors in the village. and every woman
in Marcellus has pledged herself to sup
port the movement. Three saloons are
now doing business in the town and it
has long been the wish of the women
to put a stop to such business.
Already, since the new women have
come to the front, the liquor dealers
have felt their influence, and when the
elections take place in the spring they
are fearful that the women will get the
upper hand and refuse to grant new
licenses. The campaign at the spring
election will undoubtedly be fight be-
tween the liquor dealers and the women,
with the chances in favor of the later.
The bloomer idea has not yet taken
much of a hold on the new women OF
Marcellus, though last summer bloom
ers made their appearance on several
occasion. However. they are looked
upon in a favorable light, especially
by the young misses who ride the bicy-
Gle, and it is rumored that with the
opening of spring an assortment of BIZ
furcated skirts will be sprung upon the
people.
In all the new women of Marcellus
are completely up to and, in some in
stances, ahead of date. They are hust-
lers and the pretty little village has
the unusual distinction of being the
only one in the United States where
the new women have asserted their
rights, in defiance of the wishes OF
the men, and maintained them at the
polls.
The movement was started at an op-
perfume time, under favorable circum-
stances, and there is little doubt that

An enterprising baker has introduced
a new feature into the home life of a
certain class of people Of New York.
He has fitted up several covered wagons
with oil stoves and ovens. These was-
ons make the rounds every morning
Of the uptown districts in which the

tically run By the women. who not only
control the school board. but are en-
gagged in business and generally nave
a word to say in the conduct Of the at
fairs of the town. In business the wom-
en- compete successfully with the op-
posite sex. The only female under
taker in the United States lives here,
and the town also contains a female
barber. So the women of Marcellus
are pretty well fixed to conduct affairs,
from burying the dead to shaving the
living. They are master hands at their
respective professions and each enjoys
lucrative patronage. The new wom-
an movement in Marcellus first as
sumed form about two years ago, and it
was caused mainly by the dissatisfac-
ton of the women over the mems man
agement of the school board. The
standard of the schools and faculties Of
fered did not suit them. The COM
plants of the women were of no avail,
and, becoming exasperated over the
utter failure of the board to heed them,
they arose and demanded a voice in
the conduct Of the school board affairs.
The annual school board election oc-
CURED the following spring, and the
women turned out in force, and, despite
the efforts of the men, they succeeded
in placing two of their number on the
board.
This victory was the starting point
of the new woman movement in Mar
cellus. The masculine portion Of the
village was dazed by the audacity of
the women. They are still in control
of the town board, but the business is
transacted in half-hearted manner,
and next spring it will not be surpris-
ing to see their position filed by wom-
en-, for they have announced their de-

the patronage Of the shop has doubled
In the last year.
In fact, the new women Of Narcellus
are slowly and surely crowding the men
into the background. A notable Incl
dent is the ousting Of the man janitor
in the United Brethren church by the
board Of trustees, which, by the way, is
almost wholly composed Of women. and
the appointment of q woman in his
place. This occurred a few months ago
and the janitor, who has been declared
incompetent, was unceremoniously
bounced. and Miss Ella Wilcox, pretty
young girl, was given the position. The
congregation admits that she is more
attentive to her duties and fills the po-
sition much better than the former jan
itor.
The Arnold hotel, the principal hotel
in Marcellus, is under the management
of a woman, and is a successful busi-
ness enterprise. In other branches OF
business in the little town the women
are taking a marked interest.
