PoLIcE CoURT.-Yesterday morning
two cases were disposed of in this Court.
Charles Carter (colored) chose the Sec
ond Ward market house as an appro-
pirate place to loaf Off some extra
time that was wearing away too slowly
as he thought, but he failed to escape
the vigilance of the police and was ar
rested. He was fined one dollar and
costs, and when we last saw him had
sent one of his colored friends out in
town to raise the stamps to prevent his
being committed to jail. We do not
know whether he succeeded or not.
The other case was that of John Wat
erhouse, charged with disorderly con-
duct, created by abusing the members
of his family. A fine of five dollars
and costs was imposed; but hewas not
permitted to take his departure in peace.
1t appears that sometime since Water
house was guilty of some inrraction of
the city ordinances, and warrant was
issuedf for his arrest. lie kept out of the
way OF the ofhcors until day or two
ago, when he was secured. After his
trial yesterday morning, this old affair
was brought up in Judgment against
him, and heswas sent TO Jail for thirty
days.

informs us that he was on board of
train which left Buffalo for the west,
ON Thursday morning. After getting
out OF the city some distance an en-
thusiastic Grant man proposed TO take

suit was: Grant 10, Seymour 20. Moth
ing moro was said until alter the train

Seymour man then determined to take
another vote, and the result was about
Ia the same proportion MS the former,-

U. S. DISTRICT CoURT.-The District
Court was in session yesterday, al
though the Register closed it up and
sent everybody home in its issue of that
date. Better get the facts before you
venture SO far with tribunal as grave
and dignified as District Court.
the Grand Jury, having brought its
lRbors to a close, was discharged. Dur
ing the days it was in session. forty
nine true bills were found for various
offences. Among them was one agains.
Daniel Anderson for threatening wit
nesses with death, or something little
less terrible, If they should appear
against him in n cause pending in the
Court. The statements of the threaten
ed parties coming to the knowledge OF
the proper authorities, warrant was
made and the prisoner carried before
Commissioner Forbes. That official
held Anderson 10 bail in the sum of
81 900 for his appearance TO answer If
any Indictment was found against him
in the promises. The bond was given,
and for several days the accused has
been in no enviable state of mind, we
should think, in regard to the action of
the Grand Jury. Now, however, he
can feel himself secure in the certainty
OF having serious charge to meet
one that is more than ordinary in its
character, and that is punished with no
little severity.
In the afternoon the trial of William
Orr for having in his possession a
large amount of counterfeit postal
currency, was commenced. The prln-
clpal witness against him was the party
who testified to having sold it TO him
one evening in July 1896, but while we
listened to the evidence we did not hear
that Orr had attempted TO put it into
circulation. Quite number of wit
nesses were sworn for the defence, and
when we left the court room in the.
evening their examination was pro-
crossing.
The following persons were granted
naturalization papers: Charles Kindle-
berger, George MCGEE, John Calda-
baugb, Michael Rohan, Charles Bishop,
Charles Schrader. Charles Danhart and
Patrick Coon.
The Court adjourned to meet at the
usual hour.
