Police Sjouri.

Police Gouri.
A very large crowd assembled at this
court yesterday morning to crafty
their curiosity by taking a peep at the
unfortunate. There were only TWO
cases, however, brought before His
Honor, to be disposed of; but they were
of sufficient interest to mold the curious
until the testimony had been examined
and the prisoners fined and discharged.
Carter Sutton was arraigned on the
charge of assaulting one Mr.. Smith,
near the Second Ward markc, house.
This seems To have been a very aggra-
waited case. Mr. Smith had offered no
offence or insult whatever to Carter,
but was simply standing on the side
walk near crowd of persons of which
Mr.. Sutton Vas one. Sutton knocked
Smith down and was on top of hirs
when gentleman interfered and took
him off. He was fined twenty dollars
and costs.
John Ready seems to be ready suffer
er, both ut the hands of the law, his
wife and fellow men. If all he says be
true he is one of the most unfortunate
men that has ever been welded. He
was arraigned on the charge OF being
drunk, aisorderly and abusing his wife,
but in palliation of the offence he claims
that he has witnessed 4 violation of all
the ties that make married life happy,
and mentioned the names of several per-
sons who had robbed his peace by be-
coming to intimate with his worse-half.
His case was truly aggrayating, and one
which would goad many a man to
deeds Of blood, but John good natured-
ly sought comfort in the Glowing bowl
to drown all his sorrows; but they were
too deeply rooted in memory to be thus
so easily plucked. 1t only had the ten
dency to magnify before his intoxicated
eyes the distroyers of the peace of his
fireside until they became such mon
sters in human shape that he could re-
sist the temptation no longer of giving
them piece OF his mind, interpersed
with pugilstic demonstrations. In this
condition he met the aforesaid worse
half and treated her in accordance with
the name he gave her-bad or worse
for which he was brought before Judge
Good. OF course, these assertions of
Georges had no weight with the Judge,
as he was not trying that case, but he
offered them for what they were worth
in explanation of his conduct. He was
| fined one dollar and costs.

valuable books and papers of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company just ID
time to get off alive. Mr.. Rainsford
burned bis hands severely, though not
seriously, in getting out the instru-
ments, aud ran a narrow chance of hav-
ing his brains dashed out by the tim
beers of the falling roof, which gave him
an ugly reminder of the perils OF his
situation before he left the operating
room. Mr.. r. lost fine collection OF
valuable coins which were his private
property, and Manager Rowe lost about
SIS or $50 left in the msney drawer.
The loss was confined almost entirely
to the b & o. r. r. Company who are
are we'll able to sustain the loss with
out sensibly feeling it. Had the fire
been once communicated to the freight
buildings, they, with their contents,
and the Kanawha Bridge, would doubt
less have been swept away, and IL
would have been difficult to say what
point the confagration could have been
STAYED.

Church Meeting.

A congregational meeting vas held at
the Fourth Presbyterian Church last
night, Rev. Jonathan Cross, ofthe Third
Presbyterian Church, acting as Modera-
tor. 1t was resolved to extend call to
Rev. X. V. Dodge, of Washington, Pa,
to become permanent Pastor of the
Church. We hope the call will be ac-
cepted, and that Mr.. Dodge will return
to Wheeling. The field to which he is
invited is one where, no doubt, his labors
will be appreciated, and, we trust, re-
sult in much good to the Church and the
cause of Christ.
