DlOl hlCl OOUhl.
Opening Of the January Term-some of
the More Important Casrs for Trial-A
Full Copy of the Calendar.
The January term of the district court be-
gins to-day, court opening at 10 O'clock A. NJ
Ju ige Wilkin will preside in all the Jury trials
and will open court day. The docket is not
larger than usual the calendar cases being
ninety-six on the civil list and thirteen Grim
inal cases.
CASES AGAINST THE CITY.
Ot the above number five are against the
city. The most important of this class is that
OF Patrick Nash. The history of this case ia
pretty we'll known. Nash was contractor on
the hice street sewer and failed to meet the re-
quirements of the contract. The city COM
pleted the work, and Nash brings suit for work
done by him. and charges that the non-fulfl-
ment OF his contact was due to the meddle-
some interference of the city engineer.
THE CIVIL CASES.
They vary in character, and are brought for
sums of different amount. Out of the whole
number, only one is for divorce. None are
of sensational character. Many are of the
lntermnable kind, have dragged along term
after term.
The Jorndyce VS.. Jorndyce case of the
circuit: entitled A. r. Capehart VS.. Mary
Kennedy admlnlstratrix, etc, figures on the
calendar. The late failures figure in a suit or
two. Quite number of suits are brought
against the several railroad companies
oentering here. These are for
damages to person and property. Uri Lamprey
and K. ]. Stockton, of diamond fane,'' figure
as contestants in two suits. The others are Of
the usual kind.
There are thirteen cases of this kind on the
calendar; two from the last term-Thomas
Howard, embezzlement, and John Scanlon, as
sault. The new cases vary in the nature and
degree Of the several offenses charged. The
Important case is that of Ira Beach, man
slaughter. 1t will be remembered that he is
the party who accidentally" shot Alexander
aamliton in saloon fracas last fall Another
shootiSt IS Timothy Corners. He missed one
Cosey, also IN a saloon row. The grand jury
will examine into VIM. Graushaus' untilial con-
duct-he stole $l,5OO from his father, rag
picker. The others are charged with larceny, ag-
gravated or even less. An interesting subject
among the lot, is Emma Welles, a young girl
charged with selling mortgaged property. The
full details OF her ofense aud the deadly, even,
nature of her contrition has already appeared
in the GLOBE. None of the cases are of any
great magnitude, or involve the possibility Of
q startling denOuement, unless Burke's kidnap-
ing affair is added to the list
