~v d o,.wee CeId--Weak ola.

Week Old--Wee Weak Old.
Close nestled in his mothers arms,
His checks as red as roses,
with eyes OF Heavens bluest blue,
And eunniest of noses
Close nestled in his mothers arms
My week old boy reposes.
Fast moldering In the hillside green,
Where myrtles bloom, and roses,
His baby brother sleeps, ween--
No arm his form encloses--
Fast moldering on the hillside green,
My wee cold boy reposes.
Sweet slumberer in loving arms
Dear dreamer meath the roses--
May as tee from all alarms
Rest when this briet life closes,
When, moldering or the hillside green,
This weak old boy repuses.

amount was about $3.50. This has been
paid to me by Mr.. Fagin. MockIer never
told me he was ready to settle. The
marshal never brought me message 70
that effect. The marshal Is here to speak
for himself.
Examination redirect: Mr.. Mockler
paid over money for the wharfboat Ii.
cense. There is no entry Of Valentine .
Resch's license on the clerks license
record. He occasionally paid over money
to me. i always warned him not to re-
ceive any more. No money has been
paid to me by Mockler since preferred
these charges. Mayor Oberly paid over
TO me slsO,95 said to have been collected
from Mocklcr On account OF money: re-
ceived for licenses.
Here the attorney for the prosecution
announced that he had no further
evidence on the. LIST charge. He
testify as to the End charge.
Mr. Hyland said, in a substance,
that Mockler had said something to him
about dividing the money coming into
the treasury for licenses, one day, but he
didn't know what he meant byit. About
the LIST of May, when the money was ex.
pected to come in from the wharf-boat he
said we ought 20 keep IL between US and
divide it, as 1t would buy ia a suit OF
clothes. / told him i would not keep
cent of it. He replied that was mighty
foolish, that the whole of them done it.
This was in his own Office about the first
OF May. Nobody was present but he and
i. lie said three licenses were coming In
and that the money would not be missed.
He did not state the amount. knew the
amount myself; it was SLY 10 He said
the money would buy q nice suit for both
Of US. The amount named was for one
license. IL had not come IN at that time,
but Mockler said 1t was due In day or
two. 1 don't know who he meant when
he said "all of iem did lt"--probably the
previous officers / can't tell whether it
was joke or not. / had no idea he
meant IL at that time. The matter was
never called up after that, and that was
the only proposition Of the kind that he
ever made 10 me.
The prosecution here closed as to the
second charge, and dismissed the third
charge as too general In its terms to ad.
nit of proper proof and defense.
The counsel for the accused then an
nounced that the hour Of II O'Clock had
arrived and that "a they had six or eight
witnesses TO examine, il would be impos-
sible TO close the case during the night.
He therefore suggested an adjournment,
expressing the belief that the case could
be concluded tomorrow evening. There
upon, Councilman Williamson moved aD
adjournment until O'Clock this evening
The motion prevailed, and the large
crowd dispersed.
