Cottage Prayer Meeting.

Charles Randolph. colored, resident
of far famed Bark street, was locked up
at the Second Police station yesterday
afternoon, for biting off portion of ono
OF George Malborne's lips Malborne Is
also colored.
Randolph has an established record rs
a beater of women. He was so successful
ut that game that he began TO believe
a man would be equally easy game
In Yesterdays contest it looked for
time as IL Randolph's reasoning was Mt
fault. The contest was reminder OF tho
refrain of the song about someone being
able to lick one MCCARTHY, but failing
when the trick was tried on another.
Just us Randolph saw the fight was
going against him he bit Malborne.
The trouble arose over n game or cards
In n house on Bark street, and Randolph
thought tho easiest why TO settle the trou-
bic was to take the pot. Whatever else
might have happened, the solution OF han-
dolph was not satisfactory. Then came
the contest which took Randolph into
court today.

FARRELL WAS AGREEABLE.
John Farrell. one of the desperndoes who
made such fierce resistance to arrest at
the Fenner tavern in .Iohr son Friday
night, is well known In this section OF the
city. He had an easy moving tongue and
the appearance when out OF service OF
hale fellow we'll met.
He Is generally particular about his
personal appearance and used to get
shaved five or six times week. One
barber he patronizeu in this section bns
soma interesting stories of his idiosyn-
cIacles TO tell.
s'orrell always had plenty of money and
lots of sporting talk. He was also very
strong In denourciug the holdups. men
ton Of which frequently appeared In the
papers few months ago
1t Is interesting now To hear the barber
tell OF the apparently honest indignation
Farrell would exhibit wnen after getting
shaved he would sit down and size up the
reporters story OF daring piece OF
work.
1t was supposed by the barber that the
man was gaiDb bier, and lucky one, too,
for Farrell always had big roll of the
long green. He generally bad good
joke also and succeeded admirably In
hiding the coarser part OF his nature.
