FEMALE FIGHT IN BETHLEHEM

How and Why One Woman Pounded Another in the Street Yesterday

Mrs. Fred CRIPPS, who resides with her husband, a peddler, at 142 West Maple
street, appeared at the police court yesterday afternoon, and informed
Justice TRUESDALE that she wished to give herself up. She was interrogated by
the ‘Squire, and in explanation said that she had just threshed a woman on
West Maple street, a few doors from her house; that she knew she was guilty
of assault and battery, and that she involuntarily gave herself up to
justice. She said the woman's name whom she had so thoroughly and effectively
disposed of in her hard-fought pugilistic encounter was Mrs. Lena FRITZ, who
resides in the same neighborhood, and which locality is known as "Bethleham."
Mrs. CRIPPS said she contemplated giving Mrs. FRITZ a severe thrashing for
some time, and had saved up five dollars with which to pay her fine in case
she was sentenced in the police court. This money she produced in the court
room, but Justice TRUESDALE told her she had better keep her money until she
had been found guilty of some charge.

In conversation with a Democrat and Chronicle reporter, Mrs. CRIPPS told the
cause of her difficulties with the woman FRITZ. It appears that some time ago
Mrs. CRIPPS imparted to Mrs. FRITZ the information that her (Mrs. CRIPPS)
husband was unkind to her and did not treat her as he had sworn to do in the
marriage vows. This intelligence was given under pledge of secrecy, Mrs.
FRITZ swearing never to reveal it to any one. But she did. She told several
people of it, and it finally reached the ears of CRIPPS himself. He became
enraged and on going home beat his wife for circulating the story. Mrs.
CRIPPS took the beating with as good grace as possible, but determined that
the woman who had really circulated the story should also suffer. She
accordingly saved money with which to pay her fine, and meeting Mrs. FRITZ on
the street, as above stated, about half-past 1 o'clock yesterday, proceeded
to give her five dollars' worth of satisfaction. Mrs. CRIPPS is a small and
Mrs. FRITZ a large woman. Both are German.

DEATH OF MRS. WILLIAM H. BOWMAN

There are many of the first citizens of Rochester and vicinity who will learn
with feelings of the deepest regret of the sudden death of Laura P. BOWMAN,
wife of William H. BOWMAN, the well-known Rochester lawyer. The sad event
occurred at the Whitcomb house at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
suddenness of the blow which took Mrs. BOWMAN away, as well as the total
prostration preceding it, add to the sorrow attendant upon it. Mrs. BOWMAN
was stricken down and became quite ill two weeks ago last Friday, and last
Wednesday her prostration became more complete and overpowering, from a
stroke of paralysis, which deprived her of the power to move her limbs or in
any way use her right side. She was not only rendered helpless and speechless
by the blow, but on Thursday she became unconscious. Although the paralysis
ended her sufferings, or at least ended her personal knowledge of her sad
condition, it only served the more strongly to excite the keenest sympathy
and sorrow on the part of her husband and friends. She lingered along in this
condition until yesterday afternoon, when her life passed peacefully away.
Dr. E. M. MOORE attended her and did all he could to restore the lost vigor
and strength, but Mrs. BOWMAN had passed beyond human aid.

Laura P. BOWMAN was an estimable woman, and her loss is one to be regretted
not only by the dear friends who loved her, but by all who knew her. She was
forty-seven years of age, and her home in girlhood was in Saratoga. Her
father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. PORTER, died when she was quite young, and
she, an orphan, was subsequently taken as an adopted daughter into the family
of William N. BEACH, with whom she lived until, twenty-one years ago, she
became the wife of William H. BOWMAN. After their marriage Mr. and Mrs.
BOWMAN lived first in the town of Clarkson in this county, where they still
have many warm friends. Thirteen years ago they removed to Rochester, and
have since made this city their home. For some time past they have resided at
the Whitcomb house, where the lamented lady died yesterday.

Besides her husband Mrs. BOWMAN leaves a son- John P. BOWMAN - to mourn the
loss of that dearest member in any family - a loving mother. Mr. and Mrs.
BOWMAN lost one of their children - a daughter - several years ago, and the
father and son are now the only surviving members of the family. They will
have the sympathy of the community in their deep affliction.

The funeral will probably take place on Thursday (to-morrow), from the
Whitcomb house, at 10 or 11 o'clock. Rev. Dr. ANSTICE, rector of St. Luke's
church, where Mrs. BOWMAN was an attendant, will conduct the funeral services.
