inventory of the dilapidated wardrobe
and general run to seed appearance Of
the bundle Of wrecked womanhood, i'm.
pressed the reporter with the fact that
each time the poor creature came up
another mile stone on her downward
road to ruin had been passed.
"Sarah Skelly," said His Honor, and
the wretched creature raised her head
to listen, 'the charge against you il
that OF being drunk and disordsrly, are
you ready to have hearing ?"
"Well I'd like to know what I've
DONE" replied Sarah, tossing her head
in defiant manner, sand | guess
might as well hear it ?"
Henry Connor, who had preferred
the charge against Sarah took the
stand, and said that he resided at No.
927 Chestnut street, next door to Sarah;
had resided there for two years and
six months; Sarah was an habitual
and when drunk was very
abusive and annoying; he had tried
several times to rent the house he lived
in so as to get out of the neighborhood,
but on account of Sarah's behaviour
no one was willing to rent it.
Sarah asked the witness whether
he ever saw her take drink of liquor,
to which Mr.. Connor replied "No, but
I've seen too much Of it's effects on you" "
The witness continued that when Sarah
was drunk which was almost constantly
she would gather a crowd of children
about her, and her language was horri-

nobody's business"
Several other witnesses corrOborated
Mr.. Connor as to Sarah's disgraceful
and all testified to her being
almost constantly under the influence
of liquor.
His Honor informed Sarah that on
the 9Th of September last, she had been
before him on the same charge and he
had then fined her S. and costs and held
her in 800 to keep the peace. He
would now fine her $40 and cost and
again hold her in 500 for her good be-
in the future, and he wished
it distinctly understood that If she in
fringed this time who ever went her Sc.
curity would have to pay for it.
Sarah was then ordered to be locked
up, but when officer Robinson advan-
ced to conduct her out, she retreated
into a corner, and hurled a voliey of
frightful oatbs at the officer, swearing
that he should not touch her, and it
took the united efforts OF officers Robin
son and Pardee to remove her from the
room, Sarah meanwhile shrieking NAL
sdictions on the heads of her neigh
bors, the Mayor and the officers.
A WINDOW sMAslIER.
The first case on Sunday morning,
was that of Peter McKegney, whose ap-
pearance denoted the regular coaster.

Water street, testified that Peter came
INTO his place on Saturday evening,

me of the windows. $500 and costs

John Kerns, the next prisoner, had
got drunk according to the testimony of
,tlicer McIlheny, and appropriated the

BULLDOzING A GROCER.
Joseph Smith next crawled into the
lock to answer the charge of attempt
ng to clean out grocery store over
Third street bridge. Harry Dngan, the
Of the store, testified that Jo-
eph with two or three others had en-
cred his store on Saturday evening and
because he would not give them snuff,
hey threatened to break his head and
