Board of Public Works Contest.

Mr.. Charles w. Baker to-day filed a no.
tice of contest and appeal in the Court Of
Common Pleas, on the part of Nathaniel
Caldwell against Ed. C. Boyce. The ap-
pellant alleges that Caldwell received the
largest number of all the votes cast at the
last election on April 7th that the City
Clerk made return that Boyce had re-
ceived q, 405 votes and that the plaintiff
received 81, ,145 votes, and that thereupon
the Clerk gave Boyce the certificate of cleo
ton.
The appellant claims that Boyce is not
legally entitled to the office; that in none
OF the twenty-five voting precincts did the
judges count the ballots in the manner pro-
vided by law, nor did the clerks enter the
tallies nor the judges compute the same in
the manner required. He claims on this
account that they erred in counting the
votes and giving credit to the appellant of
large number of votes to which he was
entitled, and that twenty votes in each pre-
cnct of the twenty y-tive Wards, or total of
1,060, should have been credited to him. the
plaintiff For these reasons the appellant
claims that he ought be induced as mem
Der of the Board of Public Works.

MONDAYS MARCH.
Unparalleled Display Of Criminals This
Mnrninn

Morning.
"Such depravity, such depravity!" re-
marked "Uncle" George Palmer, the ven
cradle officer of the Police Court Never
before have I seen such large display of
criminals, and I've attended this Court for
nigh onto fifty years." Uncle George was
right. A greater number of prisoners were
never brought before the Police Court at
any time since the beginning of that Court.
The first unfortunate requested to toe
the mark was Matte Herold. Mr. Palmer
assisted Matte to the dock. The Prosecu-
tor asked Matte whether she was guilty or
not guilty of having been drunk. She cast
sort of dying calf look at the Judge and
said that she had had drink. "Three
months" said His Honor. That dying calf
look was Immediately changed to that of a
wild Texas steer, but she was prevented
from making a charge on the Court by
Uncle George escorting her below.
"China Robinson, you here again." asked
Judge Moses, II thought you had quit
stealing" ''Oh, no, your honor" inter
rupted the arresting officer, "he would steal
red hot stove" Judge" broke in Uncle
George, "that officer is mistaken, China
wouldn't steal red hot stove, but he would
sit around and wait for it to cool off"
well, China, your sentence will be three
MONTHS" said the Judge.
Andrew Schemp, alias Captain jack"
was held up He was charged with disor-
derly conduct. "Where do you live, Cap
tain Jack?" asked the Judge. Wherever
take my hat off," he replied. well, go
out to the Work-house and take your hat
off there for the next ten days"
Ann Callahan stood up with an infant at
her breast. She was charged with vagran-
cy. As she arose she was noticed fumbling
the child's back with her fingers. The in
| Whether it had been stuck with pin or
not the Court didn't wait for Uncle George
to examine, but ordered her below until
she got the babe quieted down with sooth-
ing syrup.
"Annie Mcmahon, you're drunk again, |
see" said Judge Wilson when maiden
with red shawl over her head stood up.
YES, Yer Honor" remarked an old white
haired man in the audience, my daughter
was drunk but she is going to reform.
"Mr. Mcmahon, that dodge wont work this
time, you've tried that before; your daugh-
ter can't be- reformed" said His Honor.
annie, go out for three months, and the
maiden with the red shawl went out cry
ing so loud that she could be heard for two
squares and half.
Michael Morgan, not satisfied with being
drunk, had to steal keg of beer from a
saloon on Pearl street, but before he had a
chance to drink all of it, was gobbed up by
copper" Thirty days was the sentence
of the Court.
James Finley, another beer keG litter,
was given thirty days and fined $50, for
stealing keg Of beer from VIM. Russell, a
saloonist on Sycamore street.
George Schuck, for abusing his family,
was sentenced to thirty days in the Work

HALSTEAD ON THE CONVENTION.
Turkey Dislled up for Tilden and Grow
for Thurman.
National Associated Press to the Star.


New YORK. April 2S.-In a general con-
versaton in this city about currert issues
in politics Murat Halstead, of the Cincin-
natl Commercial, gave sketch of the re-
cent city election in Cincinnati, which he
regards as the opening skirmish in the
Presidential campaign
He said the Democrats had an ul terror
purpose bearing upon the Presidential cleo
tion in making an effort to carry the city.
1t is thought Uncle" Sammy
Tilden had something to do with
planning the fight Judge Hoadly,
who presided over the Democratic Nomina-
ting Convention, is a well-known Tilden
man. He made speech last winter in
which he managed to introduce
Tilden's name so as to pro-
woke applause, and Thurman's name
so as not to stimulate any such demonstra-
ton. 1t is gossip that Hoadly wrote the
PLATFORM and managed to put the campaign
into such a shape that if it resulted in vic
tory it would be a victory for
Tlden, and if in defeat it would be defeat
for Thurman. They did not talk turkey
to Thurman at all. The crow was to fall
to his share, in any case. The Republican
triumph, Hastead looks upon as an earnest
of success in the struggle for the Governor
ship in that State.
