An interesting case was tried yesterday in the
Criminal Court, in which Bridget MuldOon, a re-
specialized cooking woman and the mother Of four
Samuel 7. Baker.
All the parties reside in Georgetown, where the
defendant keeps q small cook shop. The prose-
cutting witness testified that on the 18th OF Jauu-
airy last he entered the defendants shop inflated
with liquor, and that while he was there the de-
PENDANT, thinking he was asleep, robbed him. 1t
Was also proved that on the day Of the alleged
larceny little son Of the defendant tried to get
$50 bill changed at the store Of Mr.. Leech. The
defense cOntradicted Baker in many important
points, and cSntended that his statements were
wholly unreliable. During the trial the defend
ant manifested much grief and modification.
The jury retired ct go o'clock and at $50 o'clock

NO MURDER.
How The Authorttie, Were sold.

now the AuLn0TlGlee were sold.
Yesterday morning Major Richards, superin-
tendent Of police, received word through Lieut..
NoonaD, Of the Second precinct, that q report
prevailed Of an extensive fight being in progress
among the gypsy bands that were encamped on
the Bladensburg road, near Mt. Olivet cemetery,
and It was also rumOred that in the melee .
woman had been killed by her husband. The
superintendent does not generally attach much
faith TO statements OF this nature. but thinking
that the source from which the lieutenant had
received the information Wight be reliable, he
concluded to personally investigate the matter.
Accompanied by Detectives COomes and Nc
Dewitt, they proceeded to the camp, and found
that the terrible quarrel and tight had dWIndled
down to a word battle between a gypsy, named
Hanson, and his wife, IN which be had admins
tered q couple OF saps on her check and then left
the place. II the individual, whose fertile imAg-
instiOn wrought out such horrible result from
so tritiing foundation had been lurking In the
vicinity about that time, he would have discOT-
cred three officers who did not entertain much re-
gard for his truthfulness, and would not have
been long in impartinK that information to him.
It was rough on the detectives who came that
distance, hungry for . good case, and found II
siDmered into single assault. 1t is said that
there are three bands Of gipses squatted on those
grounds, who, within day or two past, moved
to this point from near Alexandria, bringing with
them considerable money and jeHelrY obtained
by pretending to tell the fortunes Of people who
chose TO be duped.

BRICKMAKERs' eTRIKE.
Threatened Labor Riot Checked,

TuesdIy afternoon the men employed at the
brickyards on SOath Capitol and o streets de-
eided to strike for higher wages. The bosses did
not appear annoyed by their action, and imme-
diately employed new set OF hands to go to
work yesterday morning. The strikers, as is
their custom, not being disposed to work them
selves, determined to unite and, II possible pre-
vent the new hands from starting in. Accord
ingly they assembled in large numbers and by
their threats intimidated the new hands from
commencing work. Information OF the fact was
sent 70 Lieutenant Austin, Of the Eighth pre-
cinct, and the danger Of an impending riot. This
thcient othcer Immediately dispatched q squad
OF police to the scene to preserve order The
crowd increased in numbers, and commenced to
use threatening words, when the police were or
dered TO dieperse them, which resulted in the
new set Of hands joining the strikers and all left
the ground together. Considerable excitement
