BOTH WOUNDED.
Edward and Lucy Fought With
Bricks and a Knife


Dingman place, near New Jersey avenue
and E street northwest. was the scene of a
bloody conflict about noon today, in which
Edward Galloway, a colored huckster, and
Lucy Timliek, a colored woman, figured.
Months ago Lucy was Edwards sweet
heart, but Walter Butler, it appears, has
succeeded him in the wcman's affections
Lucy lives in Mccullough place, but to-
day she had been visiting in Dingman
place. and was in the alley when Galloway
came along.
He was Jealous of his successor, and was
willing to renew their former relation but
Lucy was too well satisfied with Walter to
be willing to effect reco1 citation, and a
fight ensued. A chorus of screams of
murder and police" attracted Police
man Creagh to the scene of the trouble,
and he saw the end of the mans coat tail
disappearing around the corner. When he
got good lock at the fieeirg man he saw
that the latter had a blocd-stained hand
kercaief in his hand, while blood was
streaming from wound in his head. From
then until the capture was made the pur-
suit was an exciting one. Galloway ran
about the vicinity of the government print
ing office and passed many pedestrians
but none Of them attempted to intercept
him. The policeman got on a Columbia
ware avenue. There was a moving freight
train on the Baltimore and Ohio tracks,
and Galloway made an effort to get on the
rear car, but the officer caught him before
he had succeeded.
Il don't care If you did catch me-" said
the prisoner. I'm willing to serve my
time"
In the meanwhile the Emergency Hos
pital ambulance had arrived in Dingman
place and the wounded woman had been
removed to the hospital. There were two
wounds in her arm and enc across her
back. in addition to one in her right side.
These injuries had been inflicted with
penknife. and the weapon had been thrown
in the street where it had been found by
boy. Galloway had an Ugly wound in his
forehead and another in the top of his
head. These. he said, had been inflicted by
Lucy, who used brick. His wounds were
dressed at the police station. A charge of
assault was preferred against the prisoner
and he will be heard in the Police Court
tomorrow

Change in Revenue Cutters.

The Treasury Department has ordered a
change in the exterior appearance of the
vessels of the revenue service. These YES
sells have been distinguished by black hulls,
white deck houses and black stacks. Under
the new order of things they will appear
with white hulls, with black strakes and
yellow stacks. Their general white appear
ence will give them resemblance in minia-
ture to Uncle Sans warships, which SIM
ilarity will be increased when the officers
and men apear in their new summer uni

No Opposition TO 1mportatlons OF Mex
lean Cuttle-The Free Zone to Go.
Eagle Pass, Texas, February 9.-It Is
commended by some who are In correspond
cuee with officials at the City Of Mexico
that the free zone will be abolished about
July. The order to abolish the interior
customs houses lends confidence to the
report that the FREQ zone will be nbol-
ished. IL Is believed that tho end OF tho
free zouo will be the beginning OF an era
OF prosperity 70 the border towns In the
United States.
The recent heavy rains have given con-
ildonce TO the stockmen. aud the opinion
IL general that the present year will be
ono OF unusual prosperity While much Ia
beii q said against the importation Of
Mexican cattle. no complaint comes from
tho stockmen on the frontier They suf-
fercd most from the late drouth and many
ranch would have been destitute OF
stock If they had not been permitted to
restock from the supply in Mexico. 1t ia
contcnded that tho benefits they will de-
rive from the privilege OF importing cattle
from Mexico will not more than OFFSET the
loss they sustained from the drouth, and
at best they will only be. on an equal
footing with their fellow-stockmen In
other portions OF tho State who escaped
tho effects OF tho drouth.
Quite number Of cattle are being i'm
ported through the upper portion of this
district. II ls thought that the quarantine
law will he enforced soon, which Will stop
All importntions above the fever belt, and
for this reason those who have cattle In
Mexico above that line. or have contracted
for them. are hurrying them over the
line. About 700 head have crossed at the
sub-ports of Preside and Bouuillas within
the past ten days.
Messrs. Metoalfo & Crooke, proprietors
of the Guide printing house Of this place,
hive ON foot n scheme to organize a
stock company with view Of establishing
a large printing house In Mexico. THIS
nrn have a large trade in Mexico already,
hut owing to the high rate Of duty on
