EINEn FIFTY DOLLARS,

Among the cases before the Police
CourtIthis morning was that of young
colored man named Leonard Manning,
who was charged with assaulting Halle
Richardson, also colored, with razor.
The assault took place about II O'Clock
last night near the intersection of Queen
and Fsyette streets. The man accused
the woman of having in her possession a
key belonging to him. The woman de-
MED having the same, when he drew a
razor, caught her by one of her arms and
made slash at her hip. The rszr cut
through her clothing, but failed to reach
her flesh from the fact that she beat her
body into such a position IS TO avoid Tie
full force of the thrust. Officers knight
and Lyles were close by and witnessed
the assault ard they took Manning IN
charge and disarmed him. The darkey
was brought into the Police Court this
morning, and bis main defense was his
assertion that "the raz0r was no good
anyhow" He WAS fined $50, and it he
fails to pay the assessment he will spend
the summer on the chain gang. Man
ming hiss been arrested on other occasions
for assaultng women.

rabbits through the narrow streets ana
finally pursued by cavalry which rode
down men and children indiscriminately,
over 100 persons are dead and fully GU
wounded IS the outcome of violent street
demonstrations against the government
in the three northern towns OF Braga,
Villareal and Wanna de CASTILLO. Earth
CT troubles are expected before the trouble
is quelled.
The mobs paraded the streets shout
ing "down with absolutism" and de-
crying King Ksrlos for bis attempt q
rule the country without parliament.
soldiers were met with yolleys Of stones.
They replied with volleys which stretch
ed scores Of the rioters In the streets.
This did not quell the mob entirely,
however. Persons on house tops con-
tinued to lombard the troops with stones
and hot water.
Angered beyond all control, the
soldiers began indiscriminate firing,
Cavalry charged through the narrow
streets, riding down every one in their
wake. The exact casualties will prob
ably never be known, as the police I'm,
mediately removed the bodies ofthe dead
and they we're buried secretly.
A mutiny has occurred at Oporto TO
add to the seriousness of the conditions
in Portugal. Members OF the Fifth and
Sixth artillery batteries refused to obey
orderr, demanding the deposition OF King
Ksrlos and the establishment OF re-
public, The mutineers were arrested,
but this has angered their comrades.
Every day the situation is becoming
more dangerous. Possible bankruptcy
faces the country. Treasury receipts In
dictate a deficit of $40, 0O0,O 900. and the
gold reserve is only Sc. $50, 900. There
is little likelihood that loan can be
made unless ruinous interest is paid and
it is impossible to increase taxes any
more
