thing to say and do with fashions as well as
weather.

The application by tramps and other
homeless wanderers for lodging at the Adams
street statonhouse has fallen off wonderfully.
Since the first of May, but twenty applica-
tons for lodging have been made, an average
of about one night. Formerly, twice that
number applied nightly for lodging. The
warm spring and summer season induces
tramps to sleep out of doors, and, in addi-
ton, the threats ofputting them on the chain
gang, or sending them to the workhouse on
Presidents island, have induced them to
leave the city and seek better and greenel
pastures.
AT the criminal court, yesterday. Judge
/ Logwood overruled the motion to vacate the
judgment of the court in sentencing G. NJ
Mac Williams to imprisonment in the pen
itenhary for two years. An appeal to the su
preme court (uext term was taken. In the
case CT the State rs. Charles France assault
and battery, an appeal to the supreme cour
was taken. Bob King, the negro who shot
negro woman in South Memphis, and after
ward shot Officer Fred Restmeyer, who at
tempted to arrest him, was sentenced to ten
years imprisonment in the penitentiary il
, each case. The defendant took an appeal II
the supreme court.
Yesterday but two arrests were made b.
the police, and they were two drunken
white men. Up to twelve o'clock last nigh
not an arrest had been made. This is an un
usual occurrence ON Saturday night. wher
formerly that night witnessed more arrest
for drunkenness than any other of the week
The Murphy movement must be credited will
some of this good result, and deservedly so
Those who cannot drink without getting
drunk and making beasts of themselve
should abstain altogether from the use of in
toxicating liquors, while those who can drinl
moderately and use liquors as luxury, cal
do so with impunity.
