saturdays and SUNDAYS ConfriDu~
lions by the Police Force.

The matinee OF the Police Court this
morning will be of considerable Interest to
the usual visitors, as the police on Saturday
and Sunday were quite successful In securing
candidates for municipal honors. The fol-
lowing is the record for the two days up TO
l O'Clock this morning:
The early hours of Saturday were very
ouiet. and no disorder OF any KIND was
noted. The vigilant guardians thought the
prospects for field day were rather discour-
aging, and that little would occur TO disturb
the monotonY of their tramps. The day,
however, opened up, so to speak, about l 80
O'Clock with the capture OF Edward Gor-
don, a colored warrior, by Policeman Prem
dible. Edward was in bad humor, and,
returning home at the noon hour, began
ouarreling with his spouse Nancy, and
ended the rumpus by knocking her over
and beating her. The noise attracted the
attention of the policeman, who sWooped
down upon the gallant trooper and, cap
turing him, waltzsd him off to the bar
racks.
Policemen Reilly and Clancy Saturday
night discovered IN different portions of the
city quietly STUNT ering Ia the moonlight, with
the soft bricks for a bed, two white men
who were so fearfullY drunk that they were
unable to recollect their names, know where
EleK were, or now bHCl CdAuC w OC GAOO1-
ing on the hard pavements. They VIII,
however, be sober enough when their
names are called at the matinee to day.
Walter BrOwner was interrupted about
half-past 10 O'Clock Saturday night by Police
man Brown while engaged in the manly and
exhiarating pleasure of mauling female
by the name of Emma Smith in her house.
Walter was making considerable racket,
and the shrieks OF the unfortunate female
attracted the attention of Policeman Brown.
and he chassezed to the scene, nabbed
Walter and trotted him CT to the barracks.
Walter should reflect that she who lays his
hands on woman save in kindness" Is a
coward and brutal, and should be accord
ingly treated. However, he may find out
about this at the seance to be held this
morning by acting Mayor Hamilton.
About ILLS O'Clock Saturday night Police
man Reid encountered an individual pretty
thoroughly stupefied with liquor lying on
the sidewalk. He aroused the slumberer
and carried him to the barracks, where he
was only able to mutter that his name was
Patrick Nell, and that he felt as though
hornets nest had been upset in his Uranium,
or words to that effect.
Policeman Bender, Saturday night about IL
o'clock, encountered disorderly individual
in the street whom he felt called upon TO
reprimand and advise to go home. Instead
of accepting good advice, the hilarious III
dlvidual, who gave his name as Newton
Peevey, became very abusive aud insulting
to the officer. For this unseemly conduct
he was promptly arrested and pranced OF
to the barracks.
Kate Blnnion, a colored damsel, was very
disordery on the street Saturday night, and
showed her bad temper by interfering with
Policeman Langbell in the discharge OF his
duty. The virulent Kate was subjugated,
however, and was whisked off to the bar
racks.
Policeman Langbell was compelled at the
same time TO take into custody doughty
colored warrior named Israel Clark for the
same offense. Israel wanted to take charge
OF matters generally, and run the whole
police force, but he was unsuccessful, and
spent his Sunday brooding over his failure
in ground floor apartment OF the South
Broad street bastile.
Jack Taylor, a colored youth, who is in
favor of the old flag and a big appropria-
ton, was Yesterday morning arrested by
Policeman Mckay for appropriating pair
of shoes belonging to Carrie Small. 1t Is
likely that Jack will be granted a leave Of
absence from the city, this morning, to visit
the bows in striped uniform at Cuyler
swamp.
Policeman Allen Jones was called upon
about a quarter past two O'Clock TO arrest
Mrs. Sullivan, who was creating consdera-
Die uistuEOduC6 III nOu6C ~ INC 1hhO1
ance of the neighborhood.
Yesterday afternoon Joseph Small and
Maria Cuthbert, Of the colored persuasion,
had Misunderstanding, and concluded to
settle the matter by a resort to natures
weapons, and the result was lively fight.
Maria was scattering Joseph's wool promis-
cuously, when Policeman O'Keefe cantered
up, and, capturing the pugilists, escorted
| them to the barracks.
About two O'Clock Sunday morning Po-
liceman Reilly encountered an unfortunate
| individual snooZing on the sidewalk and
removed him to the barracks, where he was
| consigned to the chamber of reflection. He
will probably be able to tell his name this
morning and explain show came he So"
About half-past 10 last night, Policeman
Nungazer captured William Bradley, col
ored trooper, whilst he was engaged In the
usual exhilarating Sunday amusement OF
certain class of the colored population,
beating bis wife, Henrietta William con-
sidered as one of his most cherished pre-
negatives the privilege OF walloping his
wife when inclination prompted, and was
indignant at the interference OF the othcer.
1t is very likely he will learn at the matinee
to-day that there are other pleasures which
can be more cheaply enjoyed than wife
beating.
There must have been something in the
average whisky consumed on Saturday night
and Yesterday, as several OF the victims OF
| Old,Alcohol and fusil oil entirely forgot their
names. In addition to those above men
toned, there were two brought in to the
barracks last night who were utterly unable,
| from their besotted condition, to give their
names, and had to be recorded as ''uL-
| known" One of these was taken in by
| Policeman Prendible about half past nine
| O'Clock, aud the other by Policeman Bennett
| about ten o'clock. They were found snooZ-
| ing In different localities.
/ Thus endeth the record for the past two
| days, and a lengthy session of the Police
| Court this morning may be expected.
