I 5 And the Result was About as Ex-/ pected in Such a Case. } All stories about the hardness of - negroes' skulls were put into the i background by two happenings re. cently, says an exchange. I Following an altercation over a A 3 woman at a party given in the home I i of Henry Lewis, of 1492 North Al- * - der- street, Philadelphia, Lewis a ne gro, was shot four times in the head at a range of less than five feet. Af3 ter penetrating the flesh, the bullets s flattened out and dropped to the floor. Lewis was taken to the Samaritan hospital, but was soon permitted to , go to his home. The man who shot him escaped. , While harnessing a mule in the . stable at 418 East Riverhouse street, , William Piffin, a negro, 32 years old, of the same address, was kicked in , the head and knocked down. Getting to his feet, Piffin discovered the , mule lying on the ground. Examination showed that the animal's leg t was broken. t Piffin was taken to the Germantown hospital where' six stitches | - were taken in his head. The mule . was shot. Woman Shocks Judge. New York, Oct. 15.?Mme. D. ' Schnable, who is known to. all the Bronx as the "Coffee Lady," because of her dispensary for the beverage, caused a shock to Magistrate O'Connor, in Morrisania court, which caus' ed rich, red blushes to rise up to the j tops of the judicial ears. Mme. Schnable was summoned to 5 court by Samuel Poanessa, ladies' ' tailor, who alleged that after eight j fittings of a dress for which she had furnished the material, the woman had declined to pay him $17 for his j work. "The dress does not fit," said a ' Mme. Schnable, as she took the stand. She shook the dress out of its box and reached around to the back of her neck and began to unfasten the hooks of the dress she was wear} . ing.' "Don't madamfe! Don't" implored Magistrate O'Connor, with breathless haste. "Don't undress." "How can I show you the new dress isn't a fit if I don't undress to put it on?" retorted the "Coffee 1 Lady" indignantly, and hook after I 1 1_ J J ? v.?air IIOUK SLiappeu uuuuue uuuci ucri u ujj fingers. g"But, mad^me!" shouted the - judge, "You must not! Stop! Stop r at once! Mrs Smith!" he called, appealing to the probation officer, "will - you please make her stop?" i- While the spectators chewed their 1 tongues and stiffened their faces to - keep back laughter, Mrs. Smith led f the demonstrating Mme Schnable e away to a private room. 3 Mme. Schnable emerged a few moments later wearing the new dress. "Madame," said the magistrate wheii he was able to speak, "it is n enough. The dres% as you say, no e more fits you than would a coffee t sack.'f s It was agreed that Poanessa should have one' more chance to e make the gown fit,, and that then i the matter, if not settled, should be taken to a civil court. r Alleged Assailant Caught. e Bennettsville. Oct. 16.?Frank s Green, the young negro, who it is 1 alleged, about ten days ago assaulted r a young wliite girl near McColl, in s. this county, was captured in Marion - county this afternoon. n Deputy Sheriff Daisies, it is said, ? made the capture. It is also reported - here that the negro confessed to havi ing attempted assault. The victim, a about 14 years old, was picking cote ton a short distance from the house 3 when she was attacked by the negro - who severely injured her. Her cries d frightened the negro and he ran. Searching parties made every effort s to find him and a negro suspect was t e arrested at Maxton, N. C., and n brought before the girl, who stated a he was not the man. Officers and r others have conducted the search. - If the negro is safely brought to jail - here there will probably be no trouble. KXEECES HELD FOR TRIAL.
