MARQUIS ASSAILS LORD.
Queensberry Gives His Son a Black Eye.
LONDON, ENG., May 21. -- The fashionable afternoon promenade in Piccadilly was well filled with aristocratic spectators today when the Marquis of Queensberry met his son, Lord Douglas of Harwick, near the corner of Bond street. A few words passed between them and then there was a brief but very determined conflict. The police immediately separated the combatants and took them both to the police station.
LONDON, May 21. - The fashionable afternoon promenade in Piccadilly was well filled with aristocratic spectators today when the Marquis of Queensberry met his son, Lord Douglas of Harwick[sic], near the corner of Bond street. A few words passed between them and then there was a brief but very determined conflict. The police immediately separated the combatants and took them both to the police station. The young lord's countenance was disfigured with a black eye. Neither the father nor son passed a charge against the other, so they were merely charged with disorderly conduct. They will be arraigned in the Marlborough police court tomorrow.
