ValldaIiSnl.

For some time past Mr.. Joseph Fuerste,
Deputy Clerk in Room No. of the Supe-
rior Court, has been receiving anonymous
notes of filthy and insulting character
placed upon his desk. This annoyance cul-
minated yesterday by the perpetration of a
most outrageous act, that will probably
send the perpetrator to the Penitentiary.
The ruffian deliberately took the minutes
of the Court, wherein are copied the entries
and judgments of the Court of vital i'm
portance to litigants, and poured the con-
tents of mucilage bottle through num-
Der of the pages of the books.
Judge Force was exceedingly indignant,
and proposes to give the vandal the full ex-
tent of the law.
County Clerk Bernard investigated the
case, and last night succeeded in tracing the
identity of the party to young man in the
Office Of Forrest, Cramer & Mayer, on Court
street.

Chambers Anderson Gets Ten Years

There was doomsday in the Criminal
Court to-day, and the sentences passed by
Judge Johnston were as follows:
Peter Brophy, plea of guilty of stealing
five coats, years
George Wilson, colored, same charge and
same sentence.
Henry Streube, plea of guilty of bur
glary and larceny, years.
Charles Lippert, receiving stolen goods, 4
years.
George Coles, colored, convicted of as
sault to kill John Mcdonald. years.
Oliver Parker, plea of guilty of burglariz-
ing railroad car, years.
Cordela Willis (colored), convicted of
grand larceny in stealing 500 from a man
in Pickett's saloon, years.
Chas. Hudson, grand larceny in stealing
gold rings, four years.
Chambers Anderson, the mulatto who
killed Laura Franklin in a most brutal
manner, also got his sentence. 1t was ten
years in the Penitentiary.
Major Blackburn and Mr.. Judkins plead
ed for mercy in the case on behalf of their
client.
The Court said that under the old law the
penalty for manslaughter was from one to
ten years, but the law had undergone q
change and now stands from one to twenty
years.
The Court was of the opinion, however,
that there were extenuating circumstances
in this case, and did not propose to intiict
the severest penalty.
The sentence as above was then passed.
The prisoner smiled on receiving his sen
tence. and looked satisfied when he took
his seat among the other prisoners. This
looks like insanity.

THE EXTRA SESSION.


THE EXTRA SESSION.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The chances for
an extra session seem to have doubled.
The Senators do not apparently care wheth-
er there is one or not. Their conference
committees do not meet and very little at
tention is given to the fact that several ap-
bills have yet to be considered
in the Senate.
NO VETO TODAY.
The President will not send his veto of
the Chinese Bill to the Senate to-day.
MEXICAN WAR PENSIONS.
Gen. Shields says there are about a thou
sand Mexican pensioners who would re-
ceive from IS to $l3 month, according to
rank. The pension would begin from the
date of application, if the bill became a law.
EXECUTIVE INTENTIONS.
The President said that he would sign
the Internal Revenue Bill which reduces
the tax on tobacco. He also said it was q
mistake as to Secretary Sherman urging a
veto. They believed the responsibility for
raising the revenues of the country be-
longed to Congress, and that the Executive
should not interfere. If no bill for the ar
rears of pensions and for rivers and harbors
had passed judicious reduction of taxes
could have been made. The bill will,
therefore, be signed.
