Ob.trucling siaewaIIkx.


The Municipal Court room was filled with a
deeply interested audience, yesterday morning,
to listen to the trial of Tim Kennedy for OBJ
structing the sidewalk on Washington street
Sunday Eight. The evidence of the officers
was substantially the same as the case was re.
ported in this paper Mo nday morning Mr.
Clifford, who appeared for the defendant, put
the officers through very severe cross exam
ination but nothing new was elected. 1t was
clear from the first that he was determined if
possible to>make out that the officers and not
Tim had been guilty of breaking the peace.
The defence denied that there was any obstrnc-
ton and one of the witnesses, Mr.. Elwood,
complained TO the court that Officer Skillings
threatened to shoot him during the affair, with
no provocation. Mr.. Clifford argued that the
officers were liable to be punished for firing a
revolver at man who could be arrested at any
time without difficulty.
After both sides had closed Judge Knight
said that he did not feel called upon to rule as
to whether the officers had performed acts
which deserved their dismissal, bat he had his
opinion in regard to the matter. He thought
the respondent had violated the city ordinance,
and he accordingly fined him five dollars and
costs. In regard to the efforts made by the
officers to capture ard take him to the station,
he thought they were justified in what they
did. He did not see why an officer had not
the same right to discharge his revolver at a
man who had committed larceny as at one who
had broken city ordinance. According to the
testimony of all, the officer must have baen at
least fifty feet from Kennedy when he fred.
AS to Skillings' pointing revolver at Elwood,
the judge said he thodght that under such a
circumstance an officer had a right to let a
crowd know that be was prepared to meet
them.
1t is said that Kennedy will bring civil
suit against the officer for assault Tin will
be remembered as the Reform School boy who
started the investigation of that institution
about year ago.

His PARENTS DIDN'T PRAY.-A few days
ago young shaver removed with his father
and mother to his grandfather's residence in
Baldwin. The old gentleman was fond of
children and soon became strongly attached to
the child and the child to him. He was pious
and family prayers were regular institution
in his household. One morning the old gen.
tleman was on his knees beseeching the Throne
OF Grace, when the young hopeful fresh from
his bed and full of mischief, came rushing into
the room. He took in the situation at glance,
at least he supposed he did. His grandfathers
position meant to him an invitation to leap-frog
and with run and jump he landed on the
old mans back. The old gentleman paid no
attention to the interruption but kept on in his
devotions Convinced that leap-frog wasn't in
order, the boy constructed a new theory to &C
count for his ancestors strange attitude, and
crawling down underneath him looked up into
his face with the inquiry: "Grandpa, are YOU
crying?

LET everybody read the invaluable medical
and physiological treatises published by the
Peabody Medical Institute, Boston. "The
Science of Life, or self-Preservation," will,
when carefully perused. convince the most
skeptical reader that it is comparatively easy to
avoid the ills which beset the young and
thoughtless. and that the weakened forces of
manhood may be re-established, THAT happi-
ness and usefulness may be restored to those
whose constitutions have been prematurely
broken down. And in this day, when so many
are prematurely broken down, the work on
Diseases of the Nerves and Nervous Mala-
dies" is timely one. The author of these
popular works has recently been presented with
a Gold Medal by the National Medical Associ-
alton. The advertisement Of the Institute,
headed with true likeness Of the great bene-
factor, George Peabody, may be found in an

A FINE PIECE OF STArU9Kf.-Mr. Edward
S. Griffin who has a studio at No. So Oxford
streets has several months been at work on
full length statue of Capt Jacob S. Wins
low of the well known shipping firm of j. S.
Winslow & Co. The work is now com pleted
in plaster and is pronounced by all who have
seen it wonderful likeness of the genial
captain. The figure stands three feet and
half in length. The right foot is placed little
in advance of the left, just enough to give an
easy position. In the left hand he holds a spy
glass and the general appearance is that Of
sea captain on deck ready to use his spy glass.
The lines are well formed and there is a won
derful absence of an approach toward stiffness.
The expression of the face is happily conceived
aud wonderfully well executed. 1t is very
satisfactory to Capt. Winslow, and all who
have seen it and know the subject speak in the
highest terms of its merit. Two sculptors
vino visited it yesterday pronounced it fine
piece of work. This is Mr.. Grifin's first effort
at SO large piece and he has reason to bs we'll
pleased with the result. The piece will be on
exhibition few days after which it will be
taken to Bells stone yard in Deering, where it
will be used as a model for statue to be cut
in granite. This piece is intended TO be placed
10 Capt. Wirslow's lot ie Evergreen Cemetery,
aud will be seven feet in height. Ga one side
of the figure will ba an anchor and chain and
on the other flag with the letter W upon it,
the private signal of the firm of which Capt
Wiuslow is at the head. The whole will be
cut in Hallow granite by man whom Mr.
Bell has engaged for this work alone. When
completed and placed in position it will be a
great addition to the appearance of the
