PoLIcE CoURr.-The Police Court
yesterday was huckleberry above any
persimmon we have had for a month.
The docket fairly glistened with WELL
remembered names. Look at the re-
cord.

Ferry No. 4, alias Dublin Trix," who
left the city some time ago under a
promise made to the Judge, and who
has since that time honored Pittsburgh
With her presence, returned 10 Wheel
ing on Friday morning. dublin" is a
nice girl; lean, but good. She has one
failing though, and that is she will take
leetle solid comfort from a black
bottle she carries in her pocket. For
being in the city contrary to her
promise, and for being on the streets
during hours forbidden to women Of
her class, she was sent to Castle
Kennedy for thirty days.
John Flynn, the catiff, the wealthy
aristocrat, possessor Of a torn quarter
and two plugs of dog-leg tobacco, who
lured our own Toby Vance to his ruin,
was found lying on the broad OF his
back in N alley near the Market
house, on 81. day afternoon, so drunk
that he didn't knoS whether he was on
.oot or on horseback. He was fined
81 and costs. No lucre. Chain gang
ten days.
And now cometh II. r. II. Booze
Leasure, prince Of all galoots. With
stern and dignifed tread he marched
from his cell at the bidding ofthe laws
myrmidons. He gazed upon the Judge
with a reproachful glance, as if 10 say,
"see how the pure, virtuous and sober
can bear your penalties" Boose, on
Saturday, drove into the city lot or
cattle for citizen, for which he re-
ceived the snm Of fifty cents. Possessed
Of so much wealth, he stood amazed.
The first thought th.lt rushed through
his mind w"'.:s, 81 will start a Natior,l
bar.HA The second was, "I'l! lake a
drink" Acting on the SEER second
thought, lie purchased. a quantity Of
be-llne. Not berg used to have 60
much money at one time, he couldn't
guage the Thing. lie got to much for
once, hut not enough for twice. The
effect of the overdose was 10 make him
very drunk. He got up against a tree
box, on Market street, and held on. lie
was in q quandary. Ifhe let 20, he
would fall down. If he didn't let 20,
he would be arrested. Before he could
determine what to do, he was nabhed.
lie couldn't pay the fine OF 81 and costs
assessed against him, so he lingereth on
the chain gang for ten days.
On Saturday evening, Fred Fulmar
went into South Wheeling on horse
back, and endeavored to ride in the
Methodist Church there with the
avowed intention Of whipping the
preacher. lie struck those who at
tempted to stop him, and finally was
only excluded from the church by the
doors being closed. He was arrested,
and yesterday morning it appearing
that he is insane, Judge Good ordered
an examination to be made by a
physician, and continued the case
until this morning. There is little
doubt of the young mans insanity and
his wrath is great against churches and
preachers.

the corner OF Market and Quincy streets
Saturday evening, very drunk. 81 and
costs.
James Bevins and Geo Burkett got
