There was a howling disturbance 1 in the Ethiopian settlement on "Blue 1 Ruin Hill" last Saturday night. which " ended in the mayor's court yesterday morning. It seems that sevieral dusky damsels and two or three men were r meeting in a quiet social way, but that the "quiet" feature of the even- t ing vas soon eliminated by a slight I disagreement which seemed to . be unprejudiced and general. The color .--heme of the atmosphere in the vi cinitv of the house was changed to ] resemble the name of the hill. and pandemonium reigned. Some of the company assiduously applied an irn to the head of one, George Arnold. wvith a force and vigor that is usually conspicuously absent in the colored woman's use of that implement. Tt ;s not stated whether they gave him a gloss or a domestic finish but George is certain that it vas some kind of a "finish" for him. The house having become too warm for him he rushed into the street clothed in the proverbial costume of the poor be nighted Hindoo. At about this time the police appeared on the scene an.d George was carried to the restful ha vei of the guard house. All conern ed in the disturbance were brought beforre the mayor yesterday morning and tried. It is'said that they might be foiced to appear later on the charge of runr.ing a laundry without license.
