SHE MADE ft BAP MASH A Sensational Occurrence In East Wheeling Yesterday^lornins, 3EC0MES THE TALK OF THE TOWN. Somo Things Figure in it which (lid not Happen nt the Time?The Knd may not be Reached yet and there may be Startling Kesults. Yesterday morning fit an early hour OflicerH Carney and Dawn, of the city polico force, arrested May Williams on a warrant issue:! by Squire Davis on a charge of assault, and she was lodged in jail. The story of the assau.t out of which grew the arrest was town talk yesterday. The story was in circulation in various forms, but as near as can bo learned, the truth is as follows: >Iay Uurkett and a friend named Jennie, living in Allegheny City, came here from Pittsburgh at J 0:30 Thursday night, and went to Nellie White's house on Koir street. From there they made a tour of the six or seven houses in the vicinity, making social call?. They stopped at .May Williams'?, knocking at the front door. She asked who was there, atul being told it was Mav Jlurkett, told her to go to the back door. The callers resented this, and some warm words were exchanged, among others a threat by the Williams woman to kill liurkett. 'Whether the diificulty was all oi a wordy character can only be conjectured. Some time after a colored man who plays the .piano at Williams's houf-e, tohl the police that the two Mays had had a light. NEA.IU-Y KXIJCl'TKL) IIKK TIIKK.VT. From here May Hurkett and her friend went to Stella Cheater's. She was hinging there when the colored piano player caine from the Williams ' lionpe it'n a mission, apparently, of reconciliation, lie said May Williams wanted to nee Mav Hurkett, and that she was not "mad at her." May Hurkett had (old her companion what an "awful nice" woman .May Williams was, and she felt sad that the other May had so rudely destroyed the idea! she hud set up. She hailed the message as a return to her senses on Williams'simrt,and accompanied by her friend, obeyed the summons. 'May Williams awaited her at the door opening into the yard. .She greeted her, "JJello, Mav!" -Hello, May!" was the response. "Who's that with you?" Uhked Williams. "A friend from Allegheny." said Bur kett. "I knew you wouldn't stay inau nt me, Mayand she started to kiss the Williams woman. "Bill', fihc jrot it on the head with a beer bottle she-held in her hand at her Fide. We didn't see the beer bottle in the dark, von know. It staggered May quite a while." This is the way May 3Jurkott's friend narrated the episode yesterday. The two women made their way backto Nellie White's, where Officers Carney and Daum found them a few minutes later. Dr. John K. Pipes was summoned after everybody in the house had tried in vain to staunch the How of blood, lie said the outer plate of the skull was fractured. The amount of blood the woman lost certainly would have killed anybody with less vitality. TUB CASK EXDS-?MAY IIK. Yesterday May Williams was allowed to enter a plea of guilty of assault and battery before Squire Davis, was lined $13 and costs and allowed to go. Sniiiro Davis eavs that Col. Arnett came to liiin and said the liurkett irirl had told him she would like to withdraw the charge and puv the costs. This the justice refused to allow. Later Col. (i. U. Caldwell appeared for the woman, entered a plea 01 guilty aild agreed to a line of Sic. May Burkett says she never saw Col. Arnett, never sent him any word, never told anybody she was willing to withdraw the charge, and was not willing to do so. .She says if there is any justico in the law she proposes to re-open the case r.s soon as she is able to appear, and prosecute it to the end. Squire Davis claims not to have had any intimation of any sensational or serious features in the ca'so until ho had lined the girl for what ho supposed to bc.a trivial offense. Last evening May Burkett was still confined to bed by the results of the blow she received, which was hard enough to shutter the bottle to fragments. One ui the sharp edges cut an ! artery in her forehead, which caused | me mam iruuuiu. THE COMMITTKB ON I*0I.IC& May Williams returned only Wedncsday from Pittsburgh, where May Uurkctt says who saw her with another woman and William**' "gentleman friend" from Wheeling, and that their relations there wero very friendly. The talk about the case yesterday brought out the shanmful details or this Williams woman's career in Wheeling, and la-t evening four member* of the Conn- | eil Committee 021 Police held a quiet session and informally discussed tlio [ matter, especially the rumors connecting a hiprh city ofUcinl j with this woman in * a manner. which a fleets his fitness to hold his j yx(X\.,n Tin. mMitin>r wiifl with rinsed i doors, but after it adjourned two of the members present were seen by an IsTELMGRNCKR reporter. Both said tlint no action had beon taken, for the reason that there was nothing to art on. j There were a number of rumors, but no charge, and not even stories that could bo traced to a definite and responsible source. The members understood that they were severely criticised because they did not take action, but they did not know what action to take. It was not lack ot disposition to do their duty, however unpleasant, that made them inactive, but lack of anything; tangible to start from. So far as tlie occurrence of vesterdnv morning is concorned there- is no evidence accessible that it was anything but an attack ot a drunken woman on another woman with whom she was im^ry for some reason?possibly because when she returned to Wheeling she stopped with Nellie White, between whom und Williams there is an old feud.

Thr Pont on UulU and D?nri. ! New York, Aug. 7.?The Pout aavs: There hnvo been many indications in this week's market that the desperate and unscrupnlotis bear campaign against prices is near its end. It began on a raI tional basis, namely, that the whole community had lost confidence in the nulls Him in uiuir ur^iiiiicum. nun meant absolute lack of support, a market full of stop orders anil in the end, lower price.'. The bear combination, n? wax natural, look advantage of the situation. This was several weeks ago. in the mean time, market conditions have undergone a radical change. Prices are on a much lower level, weak holders of stocks have very largely completed their liquidation and there is heavy outstanding short interest, but by far the most important consideration is tho fact that the bears have spent nearly all of their ammunition. The gold * export has ceased and its causes are understood. The unnatural state of affairs in the Insn and investment markets continue* and until equilibrim is restored Wall street will not fiec a bull market for stocks. There may be lower prices before the end of the month' ATTESIPTKB TRAIX WRECKING. A W.IUburg Man lu J?I1 f?r Trjlne to Cauav a DUaater Out of Hevcugr on n Conductor. Will Forbes, of Wellsbui*, was arrested, charged with an attempt to wreck the midnight freight train at that place a few weeks ago. Some time ago, it is said, young Forbes, together with some of his pal-, boarded the train to steal a ride to \\ heeling Junction. The crew of the freight put them ofF up the road a piece, when they swore vengeance airainst the conductor, tcliing him" they would kill hiin. A few* nights later the name train, while on her south hound trio, struck a cross tie near the bridge below the town, which had evidently been put therefor the purpose of throwing the train from the track. Theengine, however, struck the obstruction in such a wav as to twist it on the rails, and the entire train went over safely. The matter was kept very quiet in liopes of finding tome clue to the porpetrators of the crime. About a week ago one night a row in 1 the lower end of town occurred, in which I were involved young Forbes, Joe West j and a man named Lucas. West wad I badly cut in the abdomen. Who did it | lias not yet beon loarned, but his condition for "a few days was very serious. Kx-OtticerMcHenry, knowing something I of the threat against the tram crew, and thinking probably West might know [ something of it, went to him and scared him into a partial confession, in wlitcn ho implicated Lucas. The latter was arrested, and confessed to having been along at the time the attempt was made to wreck the train, but he said Forbes placed the obstruction on the track. Yesterday Forbes was taken before Squire McCord and held in the sum of i $1,000 bail, in default of which he was sent to jail to await a preliminary hcar| ing, which will be given him next Tuesday. "Daddy," as he is known, is a bail character, and has already served a term of thirteen months at "Moundsvillo for assault on Nick Iledington, two years ago. ELEGANT GAKDKX PARTY.
