f SOUTH AMBOY | GIRLS MAKE SCENE. One Rushes Into Store After the Other and Creates Disturbance. About a month ago two young ■women of this borough had some wordB between them. It was said that it nrose from jealousy. Lnst Thursday night one went to Mr. Bohne's store and purchased some cakes. Without any warning the other girl, accompanied by a friend, rushed into the store and made a scene, kuooking over a coffee grinder and scattering the cakes over the floor. That wasn’t enough, it seems, for the aggressor seized one ot tho other’s fingers in her mouth and held it be tween her teeth. The other caught her assailant’s nose between her thumb and finger, thinking to make her loosen the finger and that being use less, the pain became so great that she screamed. Mr. Behne then took a hand in and stepping from behind tile counter ordered tho girl to let go of tho finger. She did so and she and her friend left the store. The girl’s nose bled freely, it is said, no doubt doe to tho pain and excitement. Her finger was bitten quite deep on botli sides of tho upper aud lower tooth of her assailant, who, if she could hear the namo given her by thoso who witnessed the attack, w oild bo ashamed. The finger was very painful and what the resnlt will quested that this bo published in the News as several reputable citizens y advised her to have it done. Parties \ were seen last ovening who confirm * the statement. DOG GRABBED HER HAND.

Covered Poor Miles PIftht Time* to Cel Her Kittens Haris to Her Old (Inurter*. “And the cat came back. I believe that is the name of a song popular some time ago. but T have evidence of the fact that there was never a truer saying.” said C. T. Chichester, of Syra cuse, X. Y„ to a Washington Star man. “A friend of mine in Syracuse conducts a brewery, and a grocer friend pre sented him with an old eat and four kittens that had very recently been born. The old cat and little ones were carried to the brewery and securely locked in. The next morning the cat and kittens were on the front porch of the grocery store waiting to* be let in. IIow do you neoount for that? The . grocery was four miles from the brew ery. and the kittens were too weak to walk even a few yards. If the cat car ried them back in her teeth she must have done so one at a time, making eight miles for each kitten and 32 miles for the entire litter, or else she relayed them, carrying one n little distance, then going back after the next, and so on, until the last one had been depos ited in her first stopping-place, and so on in short distances until she reached the store. You can figure out the dis tance she travelled in this way." BEAVER DAM IN NEW JERSEY. Curious Conflict Between Wild Ani mal Life anil Agriculture Near a Great City. Mr. Justus Yon Lengerke 'recorded in our columns two years ago the dis covery of a colony of beavers in the wilds of New Jersey, a region from which the animal was supposed to have been exterminated long ago, says For est and Stream. The precise location of tha colony Mr. Yon Lengerke judi ciously withheld, for he was apprehen sive that the beaver would prove a temptation to the trnppers. But now the animals have revealed their where abouts and forced themselves into pub lic notice by reason of their beaver na ture and the activity and enterprise which it has prompetd. They have built dams and overflowed the adja cent farm lands, and landowners have at last become tired of destroying their work, and are now seeking some measure of relief. At Mr. Von T.en gerke’s suggestion, the New Jersey leg isiat ure passed a bill for the protection of beaver; and the aggrieved farmers are thereby restrained. Taken alto gether, thisjs a very, curious conflict between wild life and agriculture within two hours of New York city. Natural Inference.
