POLICE COURT SKETCHES

A LONG ROLL OF PETTY CRIMES DIS
POSED OF BY JUDGE DAWSON.
Yesterday, as a result of the activity of our
ever-diligent police force, about fifty prisoners
were arraigned before Judge Dawson, and
divers penalties applied as each particular case
warranted.
THE PoUNDNEN IN TROUBLE.
W. q. Hawkins, a member of the pound
force, was charged with throwing three success
slVe stones in q street bordering on that pic
turesuue section Of the city known as Swan
poodle. 1t appears that Poundmaster Elm
stein, supported by force of FIVE or six pound
mep, was gathering up the loose goats and
dogs which frequent the SWampoodle district,
when g large and promiscuous crowd Of inter-
ested and furious people stormed them with
missiles varying from small clubs 10 the formid-
able and ponderous weapons Of the brick-bst per-
suaSion. The horses in the employ Of the pound
master becoming confused By the flying assert
ment Of bricks, paving stones, sticks, billies
and yells, backed into the gutter, and then
tried 10 get into the vehicle for refuge. About
five hundred interested inhabitants Of the
neighborhood sWarmed on to the pavements,
and those who couldn't find missiles 10 hurl
mercilessly at some other fellow got up on the
door-steps and requested those who were in
pObB6bblOu VI EOGhb W AuEA buGLl ~ GCIbhlu LIZ
dividuals who were performing conspicuous
parts In the riotous crowd. It must have been
an entertaining sight to have seen several hun
dred Swampoodleites moving majestically down
upon General Einstein's little band Of faithfuls
posItioned behind two indifferent old nsgs and
o go-cart Oh contained one bleating goat
and three yelping dogs. But one thing was
needed 10 complete the picture, which was 9
large force Of policemen gobbling up every par
tIcipant In the riot. Several parties were ar
rested at the close Of the melee, among whom
were Patrick Breen, fined Sl0; Robert Cole, S3;
Nathaniel, S8; Charles Walker, IS, and W. H.
Hawkins, who was dismissed.
MISCELLANEOUS.
John Monaghan, charged with fast driving.
Officer Howe testified that the horse was moving
at the rate Of thirty miles an hour, or ono mile
in two minutes. Several witnesses for the de-
fence testified that the animal could not make
five miles an hour, going towards home. The
case was dismissed. Rose McMullen sent TO
the work house for vagrancy. Nathan Her
bert, stealing g male fowl, fined $50 and costs,
or sixty days in jail. Andrew Randall, carry
ing a concealed weapon, $50 and costs. VIII.

and raising the eyes heGvenward the slightest

There are, however, indications Of rain towards

PAUL PRY's OBSERVATIONS.

On Fifth avenue the happy party from Union
chapel is tented, much in family style. Most
of the ladies occupy a large tent fitted up in
neat and convenient style. The gentlemen's
tent, similar in dimensions but not in internal
appearance, adioins this, and the whole con-
stitute the "Hotel DeLinger," and is under
the fatberhood Of Alex. Ashley, esq., who ex-
tends welcome TO all visitors ard intermin-
giles in bis social chit-chat 90 much that is of
value that one cannot spend an hour here
without degree Of profit equal to the enter
tainment.
Adjoining these tents is a coy domicile oe-
cupied BY Mr.. Edus Wescott, Of the Printing
Bureau, Treasury Department, wife and child,
who always seconds the welcome extended by
the hotei party. Mrs. Wescott is Q lady of q

Nellie is the jewel Of the circle, and fills ali

can supply. Mrs. Fannie Calvert, with her
popular husband Fred, finish the complement
