cases before Judge Good yesterday, but
thew were heavy ones. The fines in the
three cases amounted to $40.
Patrick Larkin got his skin full OF
very ungallant whisky that caused him

bors The women had him arrested.
Patsey pleaded entire ignorance of the
wbole matter. He was fined $40 and
costs.
Albert Lady acted ungentlsmanly in
assanltinp a drunken man az the corner
of Main and Division streets on Monday
afternoon. No Lady should do such
things. He was fined $50 and costs.
julius Roth has a bake-oven. The
chimney of this bake-oven is just high
enough to let all the smoke into Mrs.
Hannah Fitzsimmon's room. Now
smoke from a fragrant cigar, from an
Irish stew, or even from "smudgs" in
MOSQUITO time, is endurable, butte have
an oven vomit its black and choking
smoke into ones bed room is not to be
borne. So thought Mrs. F., and as she
went int the yard, Roth, who hates
her worse than poison, got his back up.
Roth got wroth. Nay, more. He got a
stick of wood, with which he proposed
to larrup Mrs. F. He was fined $40 and
costs.

TOUCHING THE SALE OF CIGARs.-Ap-
plication having been made to Commits
sioner Delano for information whether
the sale of cigars from glass cases iscon-
trary to the revenue law, the Commits,
sioner has replied that "the law requires
that they shall be sold in boxes, stamped
as prescribed by law" There are a
large number of dealers in this and
every city who continue to use the
sliding draws, and the question in
volved arises from the practice of emp
tying regularly stamped boxes into the
apartments of glass cases. Retail deal
ers will do we'll to observe the law, and
hereafter dispose of their choice Ha-
vanas from the original packages.
