A Bad Brood.

Henry Hunter, of incest nnd bigamy famo, lives with his family upon Fianklin street near Elm. The neighbors ha re not been aware of the character of the gang until yesterday, when a jolly Christmas fight occurred. Mrs. Hunter, or rather Mrs. Elmore since her marriage with Hunter is void, went with her son to Alamo yestorday leaving the house in the care of relatives. Along in tho evening Hunter came home as drunk as a beast and found his sister and her husband sitting on tho side of the bed. With an oath he attacked his brother-in-law, who quickly felled him to the floor and was proceeding to make Christmas hash of him when Hunter's brother, Albert, stepped in. Albert is the youngster who went to Danville in the vain attempt to marry Lucinda, the victim of his brother's crime. Albert pulled Henry's assailant off and the fight then became general, extending to the street where stones and clubs were gathered up for use by the rivai factions. So loud and disgraceful did the racket become that the neighbors ran out and separating the combatants sent for the police. At the mention of the police the whole brood turned in and locked the doors and windows of the house. Two policemen who soon arrived were unable to gain admittance, the late combatants keeping as still as death behind the barricaded doors. Later in the evening three other oflicers arrived to attempt to pull the roost, but with like success, the birds of ill omen refusing to open the doors or pay any heed to the voice of the law.

Jumped From a Train.

This morning Hugh Dunn, of Indianapolis, jumped from the Big Four train at the Washington street crossing, and fell on his face. His nose and chin were skinned, there were two deep cuts on his forehead, and his mouth was also badly cut. He walked to the depot and Geo. Robinson took some courtplaster and patched up liis race. lie was a lineman, looking for a cross ou tho telegraph wires, and was getting from ihe train to inspect tho line. He received orderp this afternoon to fix a cross near Pittsboro, and on he went looking like he had made a failure in attempting to plow up the ground with his nose.

They Uhose Prof. Studley.

Prof. Studley, of Cornell University, N. Y., arrived in tlie city last evening to consult with tho authorities of Wabash college in regard to the chair of raathe malics. The committee was so favora bly impressed with Prof. Studloy that he was offered the position for the rest of tho year on trial. He left this afternoon for his homo in Ithica, N. Y., to consult with his* wife and will let the committee have his decision I next Tuesday. Prof. Studley is a line look ing gentleman, 38 years of age, a grad unto of Cornell and a ripe scholar.

Bloody and Brutal.

Bill Stein and Wesley Foster engaged in a beastly fight early this afternoon in a tough dive ou Green street. Both men were drunk, nnd Foster after a few words called Stein a low name. Thoy clinched at once and rolled over the floor biting, scratching and tearing each others faces like infuriated wild cats. Around and around they rolled and tumbled, occasionally breaking awav to smash each other with various missies and then clinch again in the brutal manner mentioned. When the police arrived nnd clnbbed them apart they presented hideous spectacles. Torn and cut, their gaping wounds pouring out blood, their lurid eyes glaring an implacable hatred at each other and their persons vile with tlie dirt of the vile lloor on which they groveled, they were dragged before "the Mayor. As they were faint with the loss of blood, nnd stupified with whisky and pain, they were taken to jail to wait a more opportune season for trial.
