FINED FOR ASSAULT.

The vicinity of Shiloh Church, upper
Duke street, early last night was not the
scene OF rest and tranquility, as tie name
implies. In consequence Of family feud
between colored people which eliminated
in a fight. A young colored woman
named Early incurred the resentment Oh
a colored woman named Pines and her
daughter Ida by the ipjudicious handy
ing of words. This occurred about four
O'Clock in the afternoon, and at DARK
the relations between the two factions
had been strained to such point that
the Pines woman and her daughter,
armed with q stick, a gun barrel and y
pitch fork, appeared in front OF ihe
church resdy for business. The Esrlys
had in the meantime also appeared. Inc
Pines woman and her daughter made 8
bellicose movement and female neign.
bor had about ali she could do to prevent
the exsspersted ssssilsnts from revengine
themselves in cruel manner upon lheir
adyersaries. The Esrlys fell back IN
order and we're chased BY the Pines faction
The Earlys then procured warrant for
the arrest of their assailants, and later
Officer Roberts took them in custody.
The accused were brought into the
Police Court this morning. The Earlys
we're represented by Mr.. Robinson Mon
cure aud the Pines women by Mr.. Il:
Fl. Machen. The evidence portrayed
family feuds of long standing and alter
patiently listening to the volubility OF
all the parties concerned, the court i'm
posed fine OF $3.50 on Henrietta Pines
and her daughter Ida.

CARRIAGE IN STREETS.

Among the cases before the Police
Court this morning was that OF resi-
dent of the western section Of the city
who had been cited to appear to answer
the charge Of throwing bundle OF crab
shells into the street. A nominal hne
was assessed. 1t is hoped that all per-
sons who thoughtlessly throw ofal or
garbage on public thorOughfsres may
take heed, and observe the sanitary laws
of the city. This is essential, especially
during the heated term. The law is vi
plated in many instances, and II more
cases similar to the above were brought
into the Police Court they would tend to
make people more careful.

uNIIOENSED DOGS.

Attention is often called to the fact
that a large percentage Of the dogs hare
bored In this city are minus medals.
In many instances such ours are owned
or hsrbored by well-known people. The
Auditor has at times made out lists and
turned them over to the police in order
to compel dog-owners to come forward
and usy taxes on their CANNES, but not
withstanding ali such efforts the IN.
licensed brutes still roam the streets ad
Iibitum. People who pay promptly
naturally demand that the law DO en-
forced on all owners of dogs.
