BUSY DAY IN THE COURTS.
Nany Matters Disposed of and ON
the Docket.

Nne DOCktNs
The coterie of the city court. consist
ing of the lawyers who frequent the halls
in the western end of the court house,
the officers of the court, twelve jurors
and a goodly number of curious specta-
tors, were greatly entertained yesterday
by the case of Mary Joseph against Eta
Henderson, suit for damages
The claim is made that the Henderson
woman made fierce attack upon Mary
Joseph in which she was severely in
jured. She claims that the woman, as
sisted by another inmate Of her house,
made an assault upon her in June of last
year, and cut her several times, tearing
her clothing from her and throwing It into
the street after her, when she had been
rudely hurled from the house herself.
The three "dusky Helens Of Troy APP
peared in the court house and listened
eagerly to the trial after giving their tes-
timony. At one time It was thought that
the Henderson woman and Joseph woman
would get entangled In another fight be-
fore Judge Norwood, but the judge called
them down most effectively. Solicitor Geu-
eral Osborne. at one period of the argu-
ment Of Mr.. George w owens. moved for
"A new trial In the case on the ground that
the attorney was stating facts which did
not appear in the testimony of the case,
but Judge Norwood overruled the motion
and the case proceeded. The jury received
the case al 2 O'Clock, but during the after
noon Judge Norwood called the members
into court and asked If It was probable
that they would arrive at a decision. Upon
the reply that It was not probable he de-
clared IL a mistrial
