occasion of the visit of Gen. w. T. Sher-
man to this city, $50, which was ordered
paid. -.s
On motion, the Council adjourned for
two weeks from tonight.
POLICE CoURr.-During our absence the
galoots have been running Wild. Not
having the fear of our pencil before their
eyes, they have been going it. The at
tendance in the marble halls where stern,
unrelenting justice sits enthroned, for cor
poration purposes, yesterday, evidences
this.
The first to make his bow was F. Thomas.
Thomas had been histing. Thomas had
histed too much. He compelled himself
to point where inebriety is positive and
apparent. He was invited to deposit the
small sum of 81 and costs as a penalty.
Not having the stamps he failed to accept
the invitation, so he makes his appearance
in the calaboose yard with the classic
geological hammer. Thomas is bold man,
but the stone on which he operates is
boulder.
Charley McCloskey was having a high
old time. 1t is the delight of. Charleyis,
fife to keep on having high old times. He
don't care a baubee for the cost, if the time
is high annnRh. and old enough. A five
story drunk,is not a whit too high for
Charley. He likes beer. And pretzels. In
the words of one of Columbus greatest
poets, he sings: -sH -..,-- - .i.-
Rally to the bar. boys. rally once again. a.-
Shouting for lager beer and pretzels. 7. zi.l-n-'
But as shoutist, Charley is too successful.
His efforts as beerist and a shoutist caus-
ed his arrest. The Mayor fined him So
and costs. Lacking lucre he also went
ITO the plac where the stone smashsrs CO."
Thos. Williams was possessed of a great
and laudable desire to ascertain if he were
sober. In order to do this he got himse
as full of benzine as man could and not
slop over. Having tickled his inner man
with too large dose of the popular burn
ing fluid he lost control of his legs, He,
was grabbed up bysan officer, who hurled
him into the calaboose. Yesterday morn
ing the case was stated to the Mayor, who
requested him to contribute SIS to the city's
finances. Being entirely unable to make
the trip he went,> >Sheridan-like, - 1 80 ~
''To the calaboose sixty yards away"
Caroline Long longs longingly for long
drink. It's not long Long has thus
longed. With a modest blush upon her
nose, smile upon her placid mouth and
her waterfall in tears, she confessed to be-
ing inebriated and sleeping in somebody's
tater patch. That she might recover her
beauty and do some labor in the city's be-
half, she was sent to the calaboose for ten
days.
Edward Shehea, for being DRINK and
disorderly, was fined So and costs, which
he paid. We are in hopes this will be the
last time Eds name will be written on the
Mayors docket. Sober, there is not bet
ter, kinder hearted man or better workman
than Ed. Shehea. Drunk, there is not
more dangerous one. He has the power to
work a complete and thorough reformation
if he will, and his friends all trust he may. /.
| Amanda Turpin! The fair Amanda! Just
released from thirty days confinement in
the county Jail, she calls, where she is
best acquainted, in the Mayors office.
Could 'weAbut do justice to you, Amanda,
could our pencil, like the painters, de-
leniate those rosey nose. those radient orbs
of blue-and black; the perfumed gale of
thy benzine breath, then indeed would we
present to the admiring world photo
graph the eyes of all mankind should gaze
upon. With her usual recklessness Am
anda got drunk. As the Mayor sentenced
her to thirty days in the county Jail on
bread and water, her dulcet bird-like.voice
lamented "If I've got to stay there thirty
days on bread and water, there won't be
much of me left when 1 come out"
Maggie Jackson is another female ben
zinist. AS she sat before the Mayor, radi-
ant in her beauty, clad in silks and satin
we know her dress was sat-in-her queen
like head surmounted by a gorgeous
shaker" we wondered what heart could
resist the glances of those half-opened eyes.
She's sumner, is Maggie. For being
drunk she was sent to the calaboose for ten
DAYS. And this ended the mornings work.
ECoLDsrREAMs' P1c-NIC.- To-day the
Coldstream Zouaves have their grand
picnic at the City Park. The entire mill
tary force of the city will be out on parade,
and nothing that could in any way add to
the pleasure and happiness of those who
may attend will be neglected. With the
memory of the glorious day we had with
the Emmett Guards dancing like delight
tul fragrance round our heart, we can
safely promise happy day to those whose
good star leads them to the City Park to-
day. Tonight the festivities will wind up
| with ball at the Coldstreams' Armory, on
Town street. 1t will be an event where
| "Wit snaps and jocund mirth
Forgets there's care upon the sarth."
