City Court Notes.

- The cases against William R. Shelton, Henry Brown and Alphonsa Richardson were again continued in the City Court yesterday morning. On motion of Prosecuting Attor- ney Pickett, the cases were continued owing to the continued illness of Miss Hartenstein,
 the alleged victim of malpractice. He had a
 certificate of 8 physician who is attending
 her, which stated that she would be probably
 so far recovered that she could appear by
 Saturday without danger of relapse.
 Conductor Beach, of the Shore Line road,
 appeared as complainant against John F.
 McGinnis, of Meriden, aged 19, charged with
 defrauding the railroad company out of fifty
 five cents, the fare from Guilford to New
 Haven. The accused in his own behalf testi- fed that he was working in Branford and went over to Guilford to attend dance. His ticket over cost him twenty five cents. On his return he offered the conductor the same amount of money, all he had. As the train did not stop at Branford, Conductor Beach demanded the fare to New Haven, and told | the accused that it required thirty cents to I ride even to Branford. The young man told a straightforward story and Judge Sheldon | did not think the young man intended to de- ! fraud the company, although they ought to be paid their fare. The young man agreed \ to settle, and the court continued the case until October 10.
 | Complaints have been made regarding the | electric light in front of Jacob Mann's saloon | on Orange street. Parties who live across I the street claim that they cannot sleep on ! account of it. No action has yet been taken | by the prosecuting attorney.
