Drunk and DisOrderIy.
John and Bridget Dougherty, resi-
dents OF West Wilmington, who, re-
'ently were arraigned bsfore Mayor
Almond for cruelty to children, we're
again before His Honor this morning.
The husband presented very rough
appearance, his face being unshaved
and bruised. The wife looked some
what better, being clad in black
suit.
Sarah A. Nugent testified that eyes
terdsy Mrs. Dougherty took her son in
to the yard, approached tub al which
she had been washing, poised the lad
above 1t and thrust his head beneath
the water, while he exclaimed "Mother
do not smother me-" Next she seized
= club and ran the boy around the
yard, occasionally striking him.
The witness continuing, said !;
when | demonstrated, with Mrs. D.
aud her husband both called me i'm
proper names and charged me with
keeping house of ill fame"
Lizzie Heritage and Arabella Graham
corroborated the preceding witness
testimony, and said that the prisoners
had used towards them language which
was similar to the charges that had
been made against Sarah Nugent.
Dougherty asserted that officer Brio
kle often visited the Heritage home,
and Mrs. D. said that when he should
be upon duty very often he could be
found there playing cards.
Chief of Police Maxwell testified that
last evening about 1890 o'clock four
officers and himself went to the home
OF the Doughertys for the purpose of
arresting them; the father and mother
were drunk, the smaller children had
been put to bed and the larger ones
were lying upon the floor. From the
time he arrived, said he, it took until
twelve O'Clock before the children were
in condition to be brought to the
hall. All the time there was scene
Of confusion, language almost sickening
was used and about fifteen different
people entered the house, the noise be-
ing SO great.
Each of the prisoners were fined Eve
dollars and costs in each case.
Margaret Dundell, a friend of the
Doughertys, was charged with being
drunk and disorderly.
Officer Brickls tsS.ifisd that last
evening he was standing at the corner
Of Logan and Liberty streets, when he
was attracted by the obscene language
which the prisoner was using and con-
'equently he arrested her.
The defendant asserted that the Off
;er visited the home of the Heri-
ages very often, and it was at their re-
Iuest that he had made the arrest in
act, said she, he will do whatever they
ell him.
A fine Of one dollar and costs was im-
posed.
The Mayor questioned Officer Brickle
'elative to the charges against himself
oy the prisoners, when the officer de-
lied that he had been at Heritages'
house when he should have been at
ending to his duties, but he admitted
hat he went there when he was off
luty.

CHESTER A. ARTHUR.
sketch OF the kepnhi1ean Capdi.
date for Wee President,

Chester A. Arthur, the nominee OF
the National Republican Convention
for the Vice Presidency Of the United
States, was born in Vermont in 1892.
He came to New York early in life, and
practised law in that city, rising ia
wealthy respectability in his profession
He derives his military title from his
service on Governor MCreau's staff dur.
ing the rebellion. He subssq uently held
other local Republican offices, and was
appointed Collector OF Customs at New
York ny President Grant. He took an
active part in State politics, but never
neglected his official duties for them.
As Collector, he was highly esteemed
and respected by New York importers
and merchants, and they very general.
ly regretted his summary removal by
President Hayes for alleged violation
Of the Civil Service Reform order, for
bidding oftica. holders to take an active
part in political organization. General
Arthur regarded the order as infring-
ing upon his right as citizen, and
was conscientious in his disregard OF
it. Naval Officer Cornsll, now Cover.
nor o'New York, and Surveyor Sharpe,
who was a delegate to tthe Convention
just adjourned, were decapitated with
him for the same cause.
The first attempt at removal hung
fire, Senator Conkling's influence pre-
venting the confirmation of Roosevelt,
whom the President named to succeed
General Arthur; but in February, 1879,
the Senate confirmed the nomination.
Of Merritt, now Collector of the Port of
New York, and Mr. Arthur retired to
private life. Since that time he has
been chairman of this Republican State
Committee, and did good work last
year in the Cornell Robinson Kelly
gubernatorial campaign. He was one
of the Grant delegates from New York
to the Convention, and stuck to the
General 10 the last, with the solid lit
tie army of 305. If elected Vice Presi-
dent, General Arthur will doubtless
discharge the duties of the position to
the satisfaction OF the country and
party.
