LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
JUSTICE AND MERCY.

victed of disturbing religious assemblage,
came up for Judgment. The attorney for de-
PENDANT asked the especial leniency of the
Court in this case, as sentence or fine i'm
posed upon the defendant would not effect
him so much as his aged and invalid father
and his mother, who were dependent upon
him for their support. This was urged with
much stress, after which the Court asked the
young man, who is an employee in the shops
of the Central Pacific Railroad Company, if
he had anything to say why Judgment should
not be pronounced against him. After mo-
ment's silence, the aged father of the young
man, who is partially paralyzed, arose and
promised on behalf of his boy, that he would
use his best endeavors to avoid any future re-
currence of the acts complained of, and that
he had the promise of his SOL that he would
abstain from the use of all Intoxicating lq-
uors forever in the future. The old mans
final appeal brought City Attorney w. A.
Anderson to his feet, who said that such an
appeal, coming from the aged man, and
whose life was drawing to its close, disarmed
the prosecution, and caused him to unite in
the appeal for mercy. He too asked the
Court to be lenient in its judgment.
The Court then said: The willful disturb
ance of the peace and quiet OF a religious
assembly is an act which cannot be con-
demned in terms too severe. 1t not only
affects the standing of the transgressor, who
must suffer in the estimation of all honor
able men with whom he comes in contact,
but the reputation of the community itself is
at stake where offenses of this nature are
ceuntenanced. 1t matters not whether you
agree or disagree with the doctrines of any
religious sect or society, there are great fun
damental principles of Christianity in which
good men of every denomination concur, and
which admit of no dispute or diversity of
opinion-principles sufficient in themselves
to command your respect and reverence. In
the formation of your character no
error can be more fatal than the con-
is venerable or worthy of Difference
and respect. Such conclusions, if nurtured
and maintained will certainly lead to dissi-
patton and vicious indulgences and loss of
all sense OF decency and self respect. The
young man who SCOTS, mocks or reviles
Christian worship, recklessly tramples on the
rights of others and willfully and persistently
discards all the amenities and sanctities Of
life, is standing on dangerous ground. He is
placing his feet on pathway of infamy that
leads to dishonor, to the prison, the peniten-
tiary and the scaffold In this case, as have
reason to believe that the accused is penitent,
that no deposition is manifested to repeat
the offense, and for the further reason that it
appears that the penalty inflicted will fall as
hardship upon his aged and invalid father,
the Judgment of the Court will be lenient.
Following the statement of the defendants
father and duriag the remarks of the Court
under the situation, caused by the appeal on
behalf of the parents, deep feeling of SYM
pathy was manifest, in which the eyes of the
Judge plainly indicated that be also partici-
pated. He however said at is the order
of the Court that the defendant be fined the
sum of SO" Immediately upon saying So
the Judge put his hand in his pocket and
threw upon the desk of the Clerk the amount
OF the fine and announced that the defendant
was discharged. This magnanimous action
upon the part of the Court was greeted with
wild and long continued applause, which
could not for time be stopped, notwith-
standing the ''Order in Court - "Order in
Court elnanating from Bailiff Lee. who
looked very much as though he would ike to
add his part to the applause.
