spectators at session OF the fOllce
Court as yesterday. The array of
fightists, benzinists and galoots was
good, too.
Jacob Speidel and two other parties
went into Blum's saloon, in South
Wheeling, on Saturday night, and
locked the door. Without saying a
word, Speidel went over to where two
men were sitting by table and stepped
on the feet OF one OF them. When re.
ouested not to do it again he responded
by knocking the man down. A general
row was created by them. Jake was
fined 500 and costs or thirty days.
Paid.
Jacob Speidel was also tried on a
charge of having been guilty Of disor-
derly conduct on Saturday night about
an hour after the commission Of the
first offense. For this he was fined 80
and costs. Paid.
Frederick He'll and John Reese were
arrested for having committed an as
sault and battery on Lot Joy at the
Crescent mill, on Saturday evening.
The assault not being proved, the de-
PENDANTS were discharged from custody.
William Callahan was arrested on
Sunday afternoon about 3 o'clock on
Main street, near the bridge. He was
the drunkest man we ever saw who
tried TO navigate at all. He was fined the
regular plain drunk price, 81 and costs
Jennie Lecounti getting to be Soro-
sis who can be depended on for an item
with as much regularity as lobe Vance.
Jennie only got out Of Jail last Friday,
we believe, and on Sunday night she
went to the house OF Henry Nollenger,
North Wheeling, and threw stones at
the door. Jennie is social evil Of
wonderful shrewish temper She was
fined $40 and costs, and in default went
up for twenty days, to grace again the
rude halls OF Castle Kennedy.
Frederick James was as drunk as a
lord on Saturday night. He looked as
if destroying whisky was his delight.
When brought in he looked fearfulIy
dry as if he might sing,
Ten thousand whisky casks are round me,
| From ali their bung-ways madly rush
! Ten thousand streams that might cohlouhu
But that glory in their gush.
| 0 charge me not that am raving,
| / hear them crashing, smashing, stavin.;
All, would that had a launch
On that glorious sea OF upple,
| I'd drink The whole ocean up ripple by rip
pie.
He was fined the regular plain drunk
price, 81 and costs.
John Shippe was found drunk on
Saturday night about II o'clock at the
corner of Main and Monroe streets.
He was always a healthy drinker, this
John Shippe. When he was in the
army
He beggared the suffers, left and right;
| He soaked all day, and he soaked all night !;
| "Got cock't as an OWL" and Stewed, and
tight:
and stewed,
With the best he could get-the worst e'cr
| brewed;
Got 'drunk as fiddler" and "high n
| lord"
| All of the liquor the Government stored
| From alcohol, ninety-tivc per cent,
| Down to the stuff in each doctors tent
| Arnica, camphor, and essences went;
He never held up till the last was spent.
| Kegs were emptied, barrels were drained;
| But still of a thirst the boy complained.
| He sucked the staves till each was dry
This man of all.pervading thirst was
fined 81 and costs or five days.
Peter Hanes was up again. One Of
Pete's weaknesses is getting drunk and
being up again He was found in the
Second Ward market house on Satur-
day. He was fined at the regular rates
81 and costs, but this was useless.
You'd know him at once If you'd see him
pass by,
No smile wreaths his lip, there's no joy in
his eye,
His coat 1t looks bare and his hat II looks
old,
And his gait is of one that's left out in the
cold.
There is no one to greet him with smiles,
| and who can?
| For Peter is always dollarless man.
So Peter taketh his regular allowance
of geology.
Thus endrth Mondays Police Court
