AT THE POLICE COURT.
WHAT THE MAYOR HAD TO CON.
TEND WITH THIS MORNING.

WHAT THE MAYOR HAD TO CON-
TEND WITH THIS MORNING.
Mayor Almond opened his usual
hearings, this morning, with Julius
Bucher in the box, charged with
making an assault and battery, with
intent to kill, upon his brother,
Emile Bucher. The latter testified
that Julius came to his house, last
night, very drunk and disorderly,
and on being demonstrated with for
his improper conduct, got angry, and
seizing a large butcher-knife, made
a savage lunge at Emile, who imme-
diately left the house and sought the
aid of the police. This testimony
was corroborated by Henri and
Julie D. Benner, who were in the
house at the time. These witnesses
being unable tolspsak or understand
English, officer Bernhard acted as
Interpreter. The Mayor held Julius
Bucher under $500 bail for his ap-
pearance at Court.
Thomas Tillman, Jimfer Benson
and John Perry, all colored, were
next arraigned, and officer Cham
bers testified that he arrested them
for being drunk and disorderly on
the street. Perry, who was quite a
decent-looking darkey, made a state
ment to the Court.
He said he lived in FELTON,, and stop
ped in Wilmington last night, on his
way home from a trip to Philadelphia.
He met Tillman and Benson and agreed
to stay all night with them, but after
wards they both got drunk and very
noisy. He demonstrated with them for
their noise and told them they would
get arrested, but being total stranger
he was afraid to leave them, and so
dropped few feet behind. Officer
Chambers admitted that Perry was a
few feet in the rear when the arrest
was made, whereupon tho Mayor
placed confidence in Perry's state
mont, and allowed him to depart. Tom
Tillman and Jimfer Benson were each
fined one dollar and costs.
John Riley and Isaac Hancock were
fined fifty cents and costs each for
drunkenness. They were brought in
last night, almost stiff with cold, and
would undoubtedly have died if allow
ed to remain out much longer.

THE BEET SUGAR SEASON.

The Delaware Beet Sugar Works, at
Riverside, closed for the season, last
week, after running night and day for
three weeks, the supply of beets having
been exhausted. Eleven hundred tons
of beets were consumed, the product
being about 10000 pounds of sugar
and fifty hogsbeads of molasses; 450
tons of beet pulp were sold. Most of
the sugar product has been sold to the
rrfineries, but about fifty barrels were
purchased by Harvey & Sisler, John P.
Almond & Co., W. FL. Brick, James
MORROW & Son, and W. FL. Morris,
Mayor Almond thinks 1t should outsell
any sugar of its grade in the market
He describes it in the language Of the
trade as part an "off A." and part a
"lieht yellow c." 1t should retail for
sore cents pound. He thinks no
sugar of its grade in the market contains
above 80 or 92 per cent. Of pure sugar.
| The color is rich and it has very much
the app earance OF DemeraIa.
1t is likely that the Beet Sugar Works
will reopen again IN few days, to be
employed for about week in making
sugar of 1000 gallons of cane syrup
which the Agricultural Department is
anxious this factory should work up by
Way of experiment.

1t is said in Washington, that
there isIno probability that any Of the
Justices of the Supreme Court of the

that Justices Strong and Swayne are

can do so without leaving the Court
in a crippled condition, but that it is
more than probable that they will
retain their seats until the end OF the
present term"

Commissioner, and was in the act III

excited crowd, yelling and hooting. She
drew a six-chamber revolver and turn
