Police nt.-This court was engaged
for a short time this morning in the dis
posal of number of civil cases. after
which the Sergeant called the case of Sarah
Gordon, charged with threatening to kill
Mary b. Flanagan, who wanted the "Jes-
tls" to understand that she was 'safeard" of
this woman, and that justice must be had.
Sarah IS poor, sickly-looking female,
while Mrs. Flanagan is a lightning talkist,
and looks as though she could easily place
this delicate creature hors du combat. AZ
ter hearing the evidence, the Justice de-
cided that, in order to preserve the peace,
Sarah must give security for her good be.
havior for the next six months.
Following this, came the case of Jim
Minor, a colored youth, charged with beat
ing the infant daughter of w. w. Frost.
The evidence clearly proved "Jcemso
guilty of the charge, and the Justice ac-
cordingly fined him 81, and warned him
not to engage in such sport again.
William Burns, most crest-tallen look
ing white man, was the next subject, called
to answer for cutting York James with a
knife. From the evidence it seems that
about 8 O'Clock last evening, Burns met
York in the store of James Connor in Rock
etts, and that Burns, without any cause
whatever, cut James with small pocket
knife in the left side, intlictng an ugly,
though not dangerous wound that he was
very drunk at the time, and had been so for
some time past. After full hearing, he
was sent on for indictment by the grand
jury, and bailed in the sum of 81 ,O00.-
James, it will be remembered, was shot
some weeks since by one Fielding Brown,
from which he has not yet fully recovered.

menced.
Ne,o York, Aug. 9.-Before the regular
investigation into the Westfield disaster to-
day, ex-lnspector of boilers Berryman
made some serious charges against Inspec-
tor Matthews, one of which accuses the lat
ter of forging the formers signature to the
certificate of the steamship North America.
This, on examination, proved unfounded.
Four more victims of the disaster have
died.
The coroner's inquest on the disaster
commenced to-day. Julius Raymond was
the first witness. He testified that his fa-
ther was killed by the explosion. He said
that he stood beside the engine watching its
motion when the explosion took place, and
was certain that no one but himself was in
the engine-room for about ten minutes be-
fore the explosion. He observed the steam
gauge just before the boiler exploded, but
did not notice the figures presented.

In Bor.-Nlany of our Democratic
friends are grievously disappointed, and
hence considerably worried, by TIE an
nouncement in our columns of yesterday,
that the officers of the Attucks Guard
(colored,) had successfully passed the ex-
animation by the military board of ex-
aminers. Their first hope was that the
officers charged with this duty would re-
fuse to give them certificates, however
satisfactory the examination might be. Ths
sweet draught having been thus rudely
dashed from their lips, they have still an
other to which they cling, as drowning
men catch at straws. They now predict
the company will be unable to provide its
members with the regulation uniform.
Should they fail to secure them, they see
prospect of getting rid of the thorn.

longer hug this phantom to your bosoms
