Two colored damsels got Into au
altercation day -before yesterday,
with the result that one of them
stole a march on the other aod had
her hailed before Recorder Windley
yesterday, where she was fined two
dollars and costs for using profane
and obscene language.
Exactly how the ill feeling started
*?-" never be known/ According la.
the story of the accuBed, Josephine
White, she had only the best of feelings
towards her neighbor, and was
merely passing the time of day when
her friend tactfully gavo utterance
U. a few gentle but Insinuating remarks.
We do not print the remarks
because this paper has to go through
the postoffice, and we do not care to
get into trouble with the postal authorities.
In response, the dusky Josephine
simply called her another one, and
what-else could a lady do?
According to the acsuser, however,
it was she and not Josephine who
acled as a perfect lady throughout
tfco whole proceedings, and did not
attempt to murder her friend, nor
call her a blapkety-blank-blank until
after she had been goaded beyond endurance.
You may believe either story you
choose. To the reporter. It seemed
rather unfair and inconsistent to fine
poor Josephine two dollars for foul
language, unless a tax was at the
same time levied upon the entire
neighborhood. Judging from the general
conversational stylo which seems
to be in fashion over there. Hut of
couTse, under the law. Recorder
Windley could do nothing else than
rulo us ho did.
Before the Recorder this morning.
Peter Bridges was fined one dollar
and costs for soliciting baggage from
passengers at railway stations in violation
of a city ordinance. Washington

embezzlement, was on hand for trial

New Bern, Jan, 29.?Stories of

The building is known as the Denotata
place, la owned by Mrs. C. W.
Blanchard and was erected many
years ago. 8ince that time It hue
