jrradVJBTVT' TSE5MI?Fs?p37!i THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, MONDAT. SEPTEMBER 29. 1S90. it I r We- t S V FORCED TO COMBINE. Pittsburg River Coal Shippers Com pelled to Take Steps to Frerze Kanawha Rivals ODT OP ALL THE LOWEE MARKETS, Local Operators Enable to Meet With- OEt Loss the Prices of Their Competitors, OX ACCOUST OP COSTLY K1TEE TOLLS. Oily Ose Otttide in the Wsy of tht Proposed Fool or Syndicate. The river coal shippers of this city are contemplating the formation of a combina tion in the near futnre to freeze the Ka nawha river operators out of the Cincinnati and Louisville markets. Matters have reached such a crisis that some method will have to be adopted to insure them some re turn for the large capital invested in the business. Each successive year home operators feel the effects of outside competition, and where twice the number of the present firms were engaged in the business five years ago the trade has dwindled down to such an extreme that only the wealthy op erators survive to compete for fractional profits. In recent Tears, new coal territory, more available to the Southern market than Pittsburg, has been developed by outside capital, and what was at first considered by Pittsburg operators to Le a short-lived en terprise has turned out to be a formidable competitor that has made great inroads on the profits of Monongahela Valley coal shippers, until it appears that coal territory in other sections will completely wipe out the business here eventually, if concentrated action is not taken by Pittsburg operators to nip this threatening danger in the bud. The latest competitors that Pittsburg operators have to contend with, in the Cin cinnati and Louisville markets, are the firms that have placed the Kanawha river I prouuct on tne lower markets, at prices lar below those asked for Pittsburg coal. SL1XL IN DEMAND. "While it is universally conceced that the Kanawha region coal is a very inferior arti cle, yet it fairly meets the requirements, and consequently there is a large demand for it. The region as yet, has not been fully developed, and there is no telling how the field will turn out The shippers of this city are now realizing what they have to contend with, and as they labor under great disadvantages in shipping coal from MonongaheLi river mines, the formation ot a combination ot Pittsburg coal firms in the immediate future is very proba ble. One of the most extensive operators in the city talked about the matter yesterday. He said: "We have every reason to combine in our business, and if the coal operators do not do it, I predict that within three years our business will be ruined. "We are not in a position, with such excessive taxation, to mine our coal profitably, to stand any chance against the Kanawha river ship pers, who are at present sending a great quantity of coal in to the Southern market, which is not to be compared with our prod uct but it burns, and the region is not fully developed yet. In my opinion a much better grade of coal will be found there ere long. AEGUMESI FOE FEEE RIVERS. "If the Kanawha river operators were burdened with tolls for locks, such as we have to pay on the Monongahela, we might stand some show, but at present we can do nothing, and until this proposed pool is formed, they can undersell us. So far the shipments from the Kanawha have been very light, but the field is one of great promise, and unless we do something, and do that at once, wc will some time find no market for our coal in Southern ports. "With the exception of one or two large firms, all the shippers favor a consolidation, and a vigorous warfare against the Kanawha shippers for about a year would compel our rivals to leave the business, but the longer the combination is put off, the harder it will be, for that would enable those now working the region to branch out, and if not forced out of the business, they will, at least, cause us considerable more trouble. It appears to me that the coal operators are giving no thought to the future, and while these few firms remain obdurate and refuse to enter into the combination the rest continue at ii, hammer and tongs, and try to eke out sm-il profits on investments that should yield 100 per cent larger returns. Last year several coal shippers effected a combination on the quiet and tried to improve the con dition 01 business in that way, but it was discovered that one of the largest firms here was underselling the syndicate at Cincin nati and Louisville, which resulted in break ing up the combination, and the venture was disastrous to every firm in it, several of them being nearly pushed to the wall in the crash that followed. The outcome of our efforts to maintain prices was that several firms were compelled to retire from the busi ness. ONLY ONri OBSTACLE. "The only obstacle to prevent the con summation of the syndicate this year Is the same firm, it still refusing toenter the project. The other operators are unwilling to have anything to do with it unless this one firm joins the pool. There may be good reasons for this firm remaining out, but they are not apparent Last year they shipped more coal down the river than all the firms in the pool, and sold it without profit. Some operators have concluded that this firm is largely interested in the develop ment of the Kanawha river region, but this rumor is generally discredited. "An attemp will be made to indnce every shipper to go into the deal, and it is thought that it will be successful. "It will be a question of the survival of the fittest." concluded the operator quoted, "it this firm refuses to join the syndicate this time. The majority of us are deter mined to act in unison, "and bitter warfare will be urged against the Kanawha river operators and the Pittsburg firms who refuse to enter the combine." The gentleman talked in a strain that showed he was in earnest in his intentions. That something must be done to save the Pittsburg coal shipping is acknowledged by a great many coal shippers, and develop ments in that line can be looked for shortly. 1TKEAN FOE PATTIS0N. Ex-Senator Leo Tlili.k. tlio Political situ, ntlon Is 'ciions. Ex-Senator J. W. Lee, of Franklin, was at the Duquesne last evening. He is very cautious about what he says about the po litical situation, but he admitted it was serious. He didn't hear Emery's speech, but was in Bradford the next day, and found the town fuily in accord with its citi zen. Mr. Lee ventured the remark that he never saw such a queer and uncertain cam paign. It looked to him as if McKean county would give Pattison a majority, and as tor Venango be'didn't believe any" man could guess at its vote and come within 00 of the mark. ATTRACTED BY SPIRITS. PEOPLE WHO HUNTED FOR SMILES AND FOUND TEARS. Spcnll-EaT Unlrts I'leaiv In Both Cities- One In Allechenr Where AH Were Waltcra l'raltr Apnrtrornti for Women Ann's RooneT Irom a Priann C1I. Detectives Glenn, Aiken and Zimmerman, with a squad of six officers, interrupted a spiritual service last night at Cedar avenue and Ohio street, Allegheny. Thenty-three of the persons present were taken to" the lock up. Emil Meyer, alias Charles Davis, was the proprietor. There was an eating house in front as a blind. In the rear of a restaurant was a door concealed by a cur tain. The door opened into a hallway and the bar was back of the kitchen. Above was a room covered with Brussels carpet Marble-topped tables were placed in various positions, and electric bells announced to the mixer of spirits the wants of the gnests. There was also a door leading from that room to Cedar avenue and one to the rear. The officers appeared simultaneously at each of the three exits. Then lollowtd a wild scene. "When it became konwn in the bar that the officers were in the house every man pulled off bis coat and hat, grabbed an apron or a towel, and when the officers en tered there were Jo waiters, -ihe aoage was too thin, and the onlv person left in the place was Old Tom G'in, who sat quietly behind the bar. There were 20 men and three women arrested. The greatest joke was when the real waiter, who was acting as cashier, was searched at the station he produced a roll of money, put up 560 for the proprietor and S10 lor himself. The others went behind the bars and sang "Annie Eooney" until their friend bailed most of them out Detective Johnson yesterday afternoon raided a speakeasy at Hope and Lacock streets, Allegheny. Fred jlvers, the pro prietor, and eight men were taken. Captain Dick Brophy raided the house of Mrs. Mary Hornan.on Forty-seventh street and Mrs." Mary Kilchne's place, at 1635 Penn avenue. Both the women and four men were arrested. The Sonthside police raided a Hungarian rum shop in a court off Thirty-firth street last night Seven men were captured. At 2:30 yesterday afternoon. Lieutenant Lewis made a raid on the house of Harry Norton, colored. No. 46 Pasture street, where an interesting game of "craps" was being carried on. The proprietor and two others were arrested. The hearings were light at Mavor Wy- man's court yesterday morning. Detectives Kornman and Johnston had visited 15 School street at 3 o'clock yesterday morn ing, and as a result Nellie Golden" left $50 with the city. For being in the raid two women paid $25 apiece and three men each yielded up a $10 bill. George Moresky ran a Epeakeasyfon Sawmill alley. He does not now, and he, with eight men and two women, each left $5 with the Mayor's Clerk. BROAD INJTS SWEEP. A Library Association Tormcd to Include AH Religions sects It Will Occupy Qnanera In the Pnrncblnl School Fntb cr SlieedT Bnck of the Orcnnlzatlon. Yesterday afternoon about 200 male mem bers of St Mary's Catholic Church met in Duquesne HallPenn avenue, to form an association to be known as the First Ward Library Association. Mr. Thos. J. Murray was elected temporary chairman and Martin F. Burns temporary Secretary. Eev. Mor gan M. Sheedy addressed the meeting, and stated the object of the Association, which is to improve the moral, social and literary principles of its members. Any person of good moral character, regardless of creed, race or nationality, is eligible to member ship in the society. The association has already several per sons enrolled as members whose religious views conflict with those of the other mem bers. One colored man was elected a mem ber of the association yesterday, and others have applied for admission. At the meet ing yesiterday reports of committees were heard in regard to quarters for the society. They reported that the directors of St Mary's school placed a large room in the school building at the disposal of the asso ciation for a library and the basement for a gymnasium. Alter discussing future plans for the society, the rooms lor the gymnasium were inspected. "With slight improvements the basement of the schoolhouse can be turned into a first-class place lor physical development It is proposed to have a bowling alley, and a billiard room will be an attractive fe iture. The association will meet in two weeks to perfect a permanent organization. The lady members of the association will meet at the schoolhouse next Sunday to elect members of the executive board. The society is causing considerable comment by people of every religious sect WILL TAKE A CENSUS. New Pnatornl Residence lo be Erected In S t Acnes Parish. A census of all the families belonging to St. Agnes' parish will be begun this morn ing. The object is to ascertain exactly how many Catholics attend the church, and also to raise money to build a new pastoral resi dence. At the several masses in his church, yesterday morning, Eev. Fjther Corcoran, pastor of the church, made the announce ment of the censns, for the two-fold reason given above. He stated that the debt of the church and school building has been paid, and it is pretty nearly time for the congre gation to secure a house for the priests fit to live in. The old frame bailding now occu pied by the priests is tumbling down, and the erection of a new house has been put off from time to time until some of the church debt has been paid. Father Corcoran has been pastor of the church five years, and the fact of his having paid off the large debt speaks well lor bis business ability. The parochial school at tendance is increasing daily under his man agement KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN EAGLE Preparing for the Philadelphia Demonstra tion of This U eek. The Sir Knights of the 387 Castles and 72 Commandpries in this State are actively en gaged in preparing for the demonstration in Philadelphia on October 1 in commemora tion of the fifteenth anniversary of the in troduction of the Knights of the Golden Eagle into Pennsylvania. The event prom ises to be a brilliant one, and while it is not anticipated that all of the Castles and Com manderies will participate, the indications are that the parade will compare favorably with any recent demonstration. Major General Maurice C. Stafford, of the Pennsylvania division of the military branch, K. G. E., has been elected by the General Committee to command. He has issued general orders, No. 7, in relation to the parade. Local Knights are preparing lor the turn out CELEBRATING THE CHTJSADE. W. C. T. TJ. to nave an AII-Dnr Temper ance illcetlns Wednesday.

Sereral Victims of Their- Unskilled and Ignorant Treatment. REST IK BED PEESCEIBED FOE A H0ESE The Southside Medical Societv.at its regu lar meeting to-night, will discuss a prospec tive movement against quack doctors. The legitimate medical practitioners have run across an unusually large number of victims of this class of individuals, recently, but within the past few days two people have had to undergo serious surgical operations, on account of unskilled treatment at enor mous prices. The Sonthside probably contributes more patients to quacks than any other section of the city, and the physicians have no end of trouble with these cases and they have fre quently talked of trying to restrict the practice, but have hitherto withheld action because they would immediately be charged with being prompted by a narrow spirit of persecution. The first of the two cases mentioned was that of a well-known woman on Mt'Oliver, who had engaged with a city quack who ad vertises in glaring, black-faced type, at the rate of $75 for six months' treatment Her ailment consisted of a sore in one of her ankles. After the qnack bad proven his lack of either knowledge or skill the woman went to Dr. O'Connor, ot Knoxville, but not nntil it was too late. Colloid cancer had set in and amputation became necessary, and Dr. O'Connor performed the operation. AI.SO LOST A LIMB. The other case also resulted in the loss ot a limb. A young man named D.ivis had been treated for six weeks for cancer of the heel, and, as i' claimed by one of the physi cians who subsequently attended him, "through the cruel and criminal handling the cancer grew into a large cauliflower mass. The young man was removed to the Southside Hospital, where it was necessary to amputate the whole leg in order to save his life." A third incident that is probably as amus ing as it is held to be outrageous, is the case of a well-known Southsider, who was told it would tike six weeks to cure him. After he had been under the quack's care lor nearly half that time, withoutany apparent improvement, be called upon -a reputable physician, got a single prescription filled, and was a well man in two days. One of the Southside physicians, who will push the matter before the meeting to-night, said last evening: "The need of getting rid of the quack is becoming more apparent every day. The principal reason we physi cians do not interest ourselves to a greater extent is because we would be placed before the people in a false light The quack, by virtue of the means under "bis control, attracts victims and manages to make the foolish ones who patronize him believe in him, with the result that the honest and conscientious physician finds himself roundly abused in his endeavors to save so ciety from these pests. The quack is some thing of a Barnnm, without Barnaul's abil ity, but with a species of cunning which ever impels him to take advantage of cer tain general weaknesses in mankind in order that he may dupe them. "For instance: There is the quack who, like the old-time millwright, prayed, await ing some great physical and spiritual crisis, and who is a victim of his own silly visions. This medical quack believes himselt the possessor of a peculiar genius for the cure of the various ailmentsof men. He is satis fied with what he believes an intuitive knowledge of diseases, and in application of his extraordinary gift he seeks some novelty as the instrument or medium by which he may excite the attention of credu lous people and draw them into his doubt ful care. JUST A SAMPLE CASE. "A quack of this description was lately given some hair for examination. "He pro nounced the patient to be a sufferer trom diabetes, and advised rest in bed, with an occasional emetic. The patient turned out to be a horse, and the results of the treat ment would be exceedingly interesting. "Another typical species of quack is the pretender who combines, in singular ad mixture, medicine and religion. He com pounds his own prescriptions and precedes his treatment by religious exercises. But no matter how brilliant the process of med ication the relapses are inconveniently numerous, and it was one of this class who treated Mr. Davis." Dr. E. A. Murdorf was also seen. He said: "There is not a regular physician in the city who could not crowd his office with patients, and make money by the thousands, if he were willing to turn quack. It would not be necessary to advertise One-tenth of the cures he makes. But, fortunately for the interests ot humanity and our ever-advancing and benificent art, no honorable member of the regular profession could be persuaded to take such a fatal departure from the paths ol protessional right and duty." It was reported that Dr. "Wood had also assisted in an amputation, made necessary by improper treatment nnder a quack, but he said he was not present. He was to have assisted in the operation, but was prevented by other protessional business from doing so. FOE THE LITTLE ORPHANS. Another Din Tea-Partr to be Held, Prob nblr In the Exposition, A meeting of Catholic ladies interested in the welfare of the orphans at the Tanne hill street asylum, was held yesterday after noon in the parlors of St. Paul's episcopal residence, on Grant street. It was decided to hold another tea-party this fall, and a special effort will be made to relieve the condition of the helpless little waifs. The tea-party will be held eithet in the Exposition building or the Central rink on Penn avenue. The date has n-1 yet been fixed, but it will be about November 18. Many of tha. ladies want to hold the big event in the Exposition building, but there is a drawback in the way ot a lack of heat ing apparatus. It is expected that 4,000 or 5,000 will be raised for the orphans. Last year's report showed that the contributions, receipts of all kinds, etc., were less than 6 cents daily for each child. HIS OLD SIDE PARTNER. Air. Logan Thinks Eme-j'n Speech Will Ilnvc n Good Effect. A. H. Logan, formerly associated with Lew Emery, Jr., in the oil business, heard his old partner deliver his famous speech in Bradford Friday evening. Mr. Logan re turned home yesterdav. He says that be talked with manv Bradford people, and they think that Emery made out his case against Delamater. Zane, wno has opposed Emery, admitted to him that it was not on personal grounds. Mr. Logan thinks that if Emery, went on the stump, Delamater would certainly be defeated. He says that his word in Phila delphia has considerable weight with people who don't even know him, because in ihe Legislature Emery always favored mu nicipal reform. His opposition to Dela mater is not personal, but he holds it an im position that two men sbould.undertake to dictate the politics of the State. Tho Nrw Track Nra.Ir Heady. It is expected that by the end of the week the new road 'round by the round-house at Wilmerding will be in running order. The passenger traffic will be taken .by this road and the existing main line used for freight alone. AFTER DECEIVED AND DESTITUTE. THE VICTIM OF A MOCK MARRIAGE FOUND IN THE STREETS. Mrs. Mary Rlaeolre's Sad Life Romance Deserted by the Man Who Rained Ber Mle With Her Dube and Brother She Wanders Aronnd Scclilnn Shelter. A child born on Christmas Day is sup posed to be specially favored, but the sad story of Mrs. Mary Maguire shows that the rule does not always hold good. Last night the attention of Detective Shore was called to a slight, girlish figure standing discon solately in the Diamond market The little woman held a lusty babe in her arms, -and by her side stood a 10-vear-old boy. The detective asked the woman what she was looking for, and she told him that she had but 25 cents and was seeking shelter for the night Detective Shore took the party to the Central station, where Mrs. Maguire told her story to Inspctor McAleese. Mrs. Maguire who, in spite of her shabby garments and distressed and nervous ap pearance, is quite pretty, said she would be 16 years old next Christmas. Her maiden name was O'Neill, her father, Peter, being at one time a well-known and well-to-do plasterer in the East End. Two vears ago she became acquainted with a man named Maguire, and after some months' courtship, they were engaged. One nieht Maguire told her be had rented and furnished a house, and wanted to be married that even ing. They went to their new home, and there they were married by a man the jirl supposed' was a minister. They had no marriage license but the girl never suspected anything was wrong. The couple lived together until the birtbTjf the child, a pretty boy, when Maguire suddenly left A few weeks later the deserted child received a letter from Philadelphia stating the bare fact that Maguire was dead. Mrs. Maguire then determined to return to her mother, her father having died in the meantime. They rented a house in Home wood, where they lived together until about a month ago, when her mother, Mrs. O'Neill, was sent to jail for trial on a charge of assault and battery, the result of a neigh borly quarrel. A week later the landlord turned Mrs. Maguire, her child and mother out of the house for non-payment of rent. They lived with the neighbors for a few days, but the girl did not like to become a burden on their generosity, and selling what little furniture had been left, started out For three weeks past she has been wander ing around the city, just where she scarcely knew. She says she has a brother, 27 years old, on the Southside. The Inspector instructed Matron Brenan to care for the party for the night, and will turn the case over to Superintendent Dean, of the Anti-Cruelty Society, this morning. QUITE A MISTAKE. The Report From Brnddoclc Concerning tbe Discharge ol Bon a Canard. The story sent out on Saturday from Braddock to the effect that the Carnegie Association was about to discharge boys under 16 years of age irom its Braddock and Homestead works is without the remotest excuse for foundation. The State Factory Inspector caused copies of the factory act to be placed in the mills, as he is in duty bound to do. Carnegie Brothers & Co. do not employ more than 30 boys of 16 vears or under, and General Manager Schwab pointed out yesterday that they were em ployed not so much by reason of their value as employes, but rather to enable them to help out their families by their earnings. In consequence oY the report an impres sion went abroad in Braddock yesterday that the boys would be discharged. This will not be so, as the firm complies with the requirements o'the act, which, in its spirit, is not intended to apply and is not en forced in establishments such as the Edgar Thomson, where females and children are not employed. CLEANING THE BIG OBGAN. The Massive Inatrnmrnt Not Yearned for by Pittibnrjr Orgnnlst. The big pipe organ in St Paul's Cathedral is being cleaned and tuned. For the past week organ bnilders have been at work on the massive instrument, and it will take another week to complete the work. Since the death ol Prof. H. T. Knake, the church has had no regular organist, and it is rumored that the object of Bev. Dr. "Wall's visit to New York was to secure an operator to play the. big instrument. Jt is a job that Pittsburg organists do not yearn for. A well-known lady organist is secur ing signatures to a petition to get the place. MED FB0M THEIR INJURIES.

Colored Men Engage in a Scrap, and One Draws a Bead on the Other. ANOTHER MAN WHO FIKES OH HIS WIPE Revolver shots flew thick and fast in the city and neighborhood yesterday. There were several shooting affairs, and one, at Swissvale, terminated fatally. On account of the latter Samuel Walkei, colored, is now in jail for court. He, with several companions, was present at a "festival" on Saturday night at Swissvale, and had an altercation with two other colored men named Fred Jenkins and 'William Stewart The latter, it is alleged, stoned "Walker and his comrades as they were going home, and "Walker drew a revolver and fired, instantly killing Stewart "Walker immediately walked into Brad dock and rapping up Borough Constable A. L. Best from his bed, gave himself up. An investigation into the affair was made before 'Squire Fred W. Edwards in the afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, which resulted in "Walker being returned for trial, and Fred Jenkins and Bobert Bussell being held as witnesses. The inquest will be held tbis afternoon at 4 o'clock, in the lockup. Stewart's body lies at Murray's undertaking rooms. From the evidence sworn to before 'Squire Edwards, who instituted a close inquiry into the facts, the affair seems to have been brought about as follows: Montgomery "Washington is a colored man who supports himself by means of a crutch and the profits derived irom the sale of pies, cakes and lemonade at "festivals." On Saturday night he was to the fore at a festival, picnic, or jamboree, as taste may express it, held on a plantation at Swissvale. WINDUP OP A, BOTV. Many colored people of both sexes were there, and several scrimmages were indulged in between the intervals of dancing. In one of these, it was alleged by Fred Jenkins, who appears to have been the dead, man's comrade, Samuel "Walker threw a stone at Stewart, with the result of raising the lat ter's ire. Anyhow, there was an agreement of testimony to the fact that both Jenkins and Stewart freely and openly expressed the intention to get even with Walker. Lewis Butler swore to hearing them say that they were going to kill "Walker that night Harry Butler was sure he heard Jenkins say that they would see the thing settled; that they would "do up the," et cetera. "Washington, who at tempted to act as peacemaker, heard both Jenkins and Stewart making threats. After a time "Walker, with several com panions, retreated to the house of Jones Hall, where he boarded. Soon Stewart and Jenkins put in an appearance and began to tear down the fence surrounding Mr. Hall's flower beds, and-, in a playful manner, fired several rounds of shot at the house. They left off after a time, and Walker and his comrades, concluding that the coast was clear, sallied out. "Walker gave as a reason for leaving his house again that night that he was going to see Hill Major home. There were Jour in the party, Major, "Walker, George Veney and Bobert Bussell. They had proceeded bnt a short distance when some one in their rear called out: "There's the very man we're looking lor." "Walker called back that he did not want anything to do with them. This disinclina tion to open relations with the other side re sulted in a shower of stones. A brickbat coming from the same direction struck Ma jor in the face and laid him low. ' The bel ligerents were then at close quarters. Jen kins tusseled with Bussell, and Walker, drawing his revolver, shot Stewart in the head. WAS UNDER THE INFLUENCE. Jenkins then made off home. He was employed by Mr. McKelvey, who testified to thedouble fact that be was very full when he returned, and that he never knew anything against him. "Walker then walked into Braddock, as related, and returned with tbe Constable. Mr. Best on examination found Stewart dead. He had no gun on his person, but there were three or four stones in his coat pockets. A brother of the dead man's and other men were on tbe ground before the Constable reached it, and it is a moot point as to whether anything had been taken trom the body or not. While Walker's friend testified to having seen Stewart reach around to his pocket. Walker himself said be had not seen Stew art do this. He only fired when he saw Major so badly hit, and thinking his turn would be next Jenkins testified to having bought a quart ot whisky from Bussell for SO cents. Both he and Stewart had had more than enough. He swore that Major, Bussell, Walter and Veney bad jumped on him and Stewart, and they had stoned them in con sequence. Stewart, it seems, did not bear the best of characters. r The affair is said to be a sequel to the row that occurred at the same place on the Fourth ot July, and for which sereral men are at present under indictment. The borough constable intends to institute a searching inquiry into the case; also to look up the question 'of the sale of whisky. Bussell, who bought it for Jenkins, says he purchased it in Braddock. Drs. Dean and Andersonmade an antopsy on the body at the request or Coroner Mc Dowell. They found that the bullet had entered at the left armpit, pas-ed through between the third and lonrth ribs, through the heait and lodged under the skin at the left breast. The revolver used was a 42 caliber. The Coroner impaneled a jury, viewed the remains and then adjourned tne inquest until 4 o'clock this afternoon. MADE A TARGET OF HIS WIFE. Joslah Bos Assert His Autboiltr nt the Muzzle of n Kovilrer. Josiah Boss shot his wife, Sadie, in the left arm yesterday at their home, No. 35 Tannehill street. The parties are both col ored. A sister of Mrs. Boss, named Lewis, occupies a part of the same house, and Mrs. Boss has been spending considerable of her time in the Lewis end of the house, where, her husband says, things are not conducted on a strictly moral plan. Mrs. Boss was in her sister's part of the honse yesterday when Boss ordered her to her own rooms. Mrs. Boss objected, and he seized her and was taking her out by force, when she resisted.
