NOW YOU TAKE THAT BACK
But She Wouldn't, So a Scrap
Followed.

1t all began Sunday night with remark
Grace Reardon made about Nora Collins
and Kate Murphy. At least that's what
Nora Collins and Kate Murphy say, and
they are backed up by Mrs. James
Graham, who is Kate Murphy's sister.
Last night Grace was told to take back
the remark or prove it, and she wouldn't.
So she was punched and she punched
Nora and Nora and Kate both punched
her. Then John Collins Nora's brother,
came along and took a hand in the
rough house, and William Grit, Grace
Reardon's stepfather tried to stop him
and then the two men fought right in the
presence of the ladies. But then the ladies
didn't see them, because Grace Reardon
was tearing Nora Collins's shirt waist to
shreds and making a great success of the
job.
They were all taken to court this morn
ing and the remnants of their energy was
used up in talk. Finally Nora Collins
Kate Murphy and John Collins had to
sign bonds to keep the peace for six
months. The Collinses live at No. % Hud-
son street, the Murphys at No. 80, and
Grace Reardon on Morris street.
A list of the wounded compiled in court
this morning was
Rose Reardon-Contusion on right cheek,
black and blue spot on left shin, one
handful of hair missing. light discolora-
tion of left eye.
Nora Collins-Swollen lip, bruise on
chin, shirt waist torn to shreds.
Kate Murphy-Scratch on side of face,
handful of hair torn out.
John Colins-Swollen nose that bled pro-
fusely, black and blu mark on right shin.
William Gritt-Partially discolored eye,
torn coat, briuse on cheek.

MIKES PRETTY SKIN

Mike Barret, who until last night was
an assistant health inspector of Hoboken,
is particular regarding the side of the
street he walks on when he is abroad in
the day time. He prefers the shady side.
His aversion TO the suns heat is so strong
that he sent in his resignation to the
Board of Health yesterday because he
was instructed to make a dog canvas on
the sunny side of one of the city streets.
The es.gnation was accepted, and Charles
Bagley was appointed to take Barret's
place.
Mikes friends say he is afraid the sun
would ruin his complexion.

SECOND WANTS TO SEE PARADE

Members are not satisfied with the line
of march laid out by the committee in
charge of the Robert Davis Association
outing. The Second warders believe thae
the parade should pass along as far as
Thirteenth ard Erie streets, where they
nave their clubhouse, so that they may
have a hand in the celebration. Under
the present arrangement the line OF
march reaches as far as Ninth street only.
The Second ward people want it to extend
along Erie street to Thirteenth street and
thence to Jersey avenue. This will allow
the line to pass in front of the clubhouse.
The members believe that they should
not be overlooked and a committee is cry-
ing to have the route changed.
