LOCAL. INTELLIGENCE.

Court yesterday, Frank Cairns was tried sor
being vsgrant and living a dissolute life in a
house of ill-fame. This is one of the class of
VACANCY cases in which active efforts are be-
ing made by the police and Court authorities
to clear the city, but which are strenuously
contested at every step by the parties affected
by the police order. Upon the case being
submitted to the Court at the close
of the arguments, Judge Henry made
use Of the following pertinent language ::
1t appears from the evidence that this de-
PENDANT has periodically worked in this city
at his trade-that of barber-an honorable
calling, which Is generally represented by in
telligent, industrious, sober, honest men. So
much to his credit. But it also appears he
lives in house of ill,fame, spending most of
his time in the company of a disreputabe
female, who prostitutes her body and cor
rupts her soul in order that he may receive
sustenance from the wages of her sin, the
proceeds of her shame. l would say to him,
if he has a mother, if be has sister, or
virtuous female friend or acquaintance on the
face of Gods earth, if he has a spark of man
hood left, he ought now to feel blush of
shame and desire to reform. The
honest members of his profession who
came here at his instance to testify
in his behalf can but feel a contempt for the
character revealed by his own confession on
the witness stand. Every honest, faithful
mother who feels solicitude for the welfare
OF her offspring, her sons and her daughters,
every modest maiden, every honorable man,
all decent people, are justified in pointing the
finger of scorn at him, justified i'll stunning
his presence in this city as they would shun
the presence of leprous parasite on the
threshold of their homes. The Judgment of
the Court is that the defendant is guilty"
He was then sentenced to forty days in the
County Jail.
DANGEROUS PRACTIcE.-Y esterday Eddie
Filler, about Is years of age, who had pur-
chased small seven-shooter cartridge re-
volver for celebration purposes, was practic
ing with it at the corner of Second and 2
streets, shooting across the street at tree in
the direction of II. H. Shearer's yard, in
which his little child was playing, and imme-
diately in the boys Creedmoor range. Mr..
Shearer, seeing the danger OF his child and
that the boy was oblivious to everything but
his pistol, ran to the little one at the risk of
his own life and carried it away. and then
went to police headquarters and entered com
plant, whereupon the boy and his pistol were
arrested by officer Ferral. No boy of that
age should be permitted, either by parents or
the authorities, to Lave possession of deadly
arms, unless there is a desire to reduce the
population.
