| AN IMMENSE DRUNK.-Last night about
10 o'clock Mrs. Adams, who has bat just
been released from thirty. days term in the
general row, was again on the rampage
with 140 pounds of steam pressure to the
square inch and more generating. She was
dressed easy enough to have kept cool, hav-
| ing nothing on but natures covering, except
thin calico gown cut in wrapper style and all
! the buttons gone in front but one at the top,
which was buttoned, and like the robes of the
| Wandering Jew, fioated far behind with the
north wind. 1t was at the corner of Third
and l. streets, and her drunken shrieks
and obscene blasphemous railings and threat
| ings could be heard for couple of blocks
around, and soon caled;forth promiscuous
| crowd of hundred or more, when local
| officer Coffee came upon the scene and started
to take her to the police station. This, how
ever, he found not so pleasant a task to per-
| FORM for she not only objected to going but
refused to walk or stand on her feet, and
when he sought to persuade her stationward
with a lift and push she fought to go the
other way, and struck her feet Justify toward
the zenith and vehemently tried to get the
neighborhoed to intercede under the claim
! that a murder was being committed. Finally
the officer called into service a hack, and
with the aid of q few bystanders she
was, after much difficulty, deposited
in it and driven to the station,
with Coffee trying to keep most of the drunk
inside, but limbs of all kind protruded
through doors and windows, giving additional
force to the screams that rent the air. Upon
arriving at the Police Station, officers Coffee
and Atwood, with two assistants, carried her
from the hack to cell, during which time
she fought them with desperation, and when
at last placed behind the bars, launched out
vulgarity and profanity, which only served to
measure the depth to which woman can de-
scend when removed from the natural hight
of her station by the influence and debauch-
cry of drink. When in jail recently, her little
boy, about six years old, was sent by the Court
to the Orphan. Asylum. while she still had
another in Jail with her, but three or four
months old.
