A GoodIy Arrav for the Police Court
Matinee.


Up nearly midnight Saturday the police
had very discouraging prospect for good
matinee at the Police Court this morning.
Monday is always regarded as a regular
field day, the guardians of the city having
two days in which to capture transgressors
of the law, but the early hours of Saturday
evening were particularly quiet, and up to
eleven O'Clock only three unfortunates had
been registered for the seance to-day. After
that hour, however, it appears there was a
change in the moral atmosphere, and the
knights of the star and club were kept
pretty busy, quite a number OF arrests
being made on. Sunday.
In addition to the three mentioned, the
following are on the roll for municipal
honors:
About half past eleven O'Clock Policeman
Malone felt constrained to take into custody
Julia Solomons, colored, who occasfoned
considerable excitement on the street by her
disorderly behavior.
A. Brown, a colored warrior, who had
tempered too freely with whisky, was acting
In a boisterous manner on the street about
midnight Saturday, when he was inter
viewed by Policeman jackson. Brown was
inclined to be pugilistic, and resisted the
officers efforts to conduct him to the bar
racks. Kindly advice, coupled with good
grip, however, induced the warrior to give
In, and he was led off to the bastile and
registered for a front seat at the matinee on
a double charge.
About half-past twelve o'clock Saturday
night Policeman Bender found an individual
snoozing on a stoop on Hull street, and to
prevent the poor fellow from taking cold,
kindly aroused him and trotted him off to
the barracks. He gave the name of John
Birgan and was assigned a room on the
first floor, with southern exposure, where
he could get plenty Of breeze, but was pro-
tected from the dew. John will have to
pay for this hospitality or work out his
lodging bill.
Policeman Bender, whilst patrolling bis
beat about quarter-past O'Clock yesterday
morning, found man slumbering on the
sidewalk, who, when stirred up, gave his
name as Frank Dorson. AS It is contrary to
the ordinance to obstruct the sidewalks, the
officer removed Frank to a more retired
place.
Yesterday morning shortly after six
O'Clock Alexander Jenkins commenced his
Sunday by getting drunk and cursing in the
street in a loud manner. Policeman Count
han, however, quickly subdued his enthu-
siasm, so to speak, by waltzing him off to
the barracks, where he was locked up and
given the opportunity to sober off.
About nine o'clock Shepard Kittle, col
ored, was acting in a disorderly manner on
the street to the great annoyance of pescea-
Bile citizens, when Policeman O'Keefe fortu-
nately came along aud took him In tow.
The festive individual will be found in the
dress circle this morning at the Police Court.
Eliza Williams, colored damsel of the
don't care sort, was Decorating the Sabbath
by unseemly conduct In the street and
using profsne language, when Policeman
Anglln sauntered up and stopped her flow
of billingsgate by prancing her off to the
barracks.
Alopzo Noble, colored, was arrested yes
terday morning by Policeman Anglin on the
charge Of violating the city ordinance by
throwing garbage in the street, aud Mrs.
Sullivan was charged by Policeman Jackson
with interfering with him in the discharge
of his duty.
Three unlucky wights who had taken
their poison undiluted were picked up yes
terday at different hours, In various parts of
the city, and were carried to the police bar
racks by tender-hearted officers to rest and
get sober for the seance to-day.
At half-past four o'clock Policeman
Counihan arrested Eva Robinson, colored,
on the charge Of disorderlY conduct in the
street.
About half past nine O'Clock last night
Policeman Smith brought to the barracks a
white man named James Fannell, whom he
charged with acting in disorderly manner
on the street.
Green Harrison, colored, was arrested at
nine o'clock last night by Policeman Nun
gazer, charged with assaultipg Chester
Smith on the street.
From the above it will be seen that the
matinee to day will be particularly interest
ing.
