Two o'clock in the morning is scarcely
an hour when honest men are abroad in
the city hunting work. Yet such was the
explanation a mahogany colored coon
named Harry johnson offered his honor
yesterday morning, when charged with
disorderly conductHe was found opposite
the tobacco store of Mark, on Wabashaw
street, asleep as it we're, the lights in the
show window broken, and papers of smok-
ing tobacco scattered promiscuously about
the pavement. 1t looked very much like
an attempted burglary to Officer McMahon,
who run him in. The accused first
pleaded that he was subject to attacks
of cramps, which rendered him in
sensible and irresponsible. If the
glass had been broken and he didn't know
whether it had or not, 1t was the cramps
and not himself that was responsible.
What were you out for at that time in
the morning." asked the court.
81 was out looking for job
did you expect to find work at such a
time of the night? and what sort of work?
'Well, didn't know; it's the way we do
in Philadelphia
swell. you found joe that looks very
suspicious. I'll fine you $50, and for the
next sixty days you will receive work on
the rock pile"
The prisoner was very Eppy, and car
ries as vicious mug on him as is often
seen, even in the police court. 1t was with
difficulty that his ordinations of wrath
were suppressed and when taken to the
| work house, went out there chained to an
other prisoner, presumably equally vi
cious.
John Ledger was found stiff with liquor
iaIRice park Friday afternoon an object of
| interest to servant girls and promenaders.
He was fined a matter of five dollars,
which he failed to shell out and went to
the hridewell.
John Frost simple drunk was charged
the price usually demanded of that type
of DRINKS and as usual accepted the
workhouse in lie of payment.
| About 2 o'clock yesterday morning
Officer Peltier was startled by shouts of muir
der, police, etc, proceeding from some one
near the corner of Seventh and Wacouta
streets. He fastened in pursuit, and upon
res ching the above named corner Witness
| ed the flight of five different men in five
| different directions. he came up
with one of them, however,
| whom he conveyed to the station where the
| prisoner gave the name of James Carman
and was locked up. Yesterday morning he
| entertained Judge Burr with a recital of
| his virtues, and ignorance of the cause of
his arrest. The judge received the ro-
mances as romances we'll told are always
accepted, with grateful spirit, but as the
relator was unable to explain why he
! sought to elude the vigilance of Officer
| Peltier, and refused to tell whom his COM
panion was, it went hard with him. From
| appearances it looked to the court, the
officers and the audience, as though an at
tempt at highway robbery had failed
through the timely arrival of t9a city's
guardian. The court sentenced the &C
cused to pay a fine of $50, and stand COM
mitted for period of sixty days in ad-
| dition.

The troubles of the Egans and the
Gradys, distinguished residents of the
Sixth ward, eliminating in the arrest of
| Mrs. Egan, were once more repeated be-
fore Judge Burr yesterday morning. Mrs.
Egan desired a continuance that she
| might return to the bedside of her
husband who was represented as danger
| ously ill, but as the witnesses were on
hand it was finally concluded to proceed
with the trial. John Grady, John Grady's
wife and John Grady's bartender told
story of the abuse that had been heaped
upon them by the accused, which would
rival the tales of enchantment and mar
velous transformations that were born
during ages long since gone. They in
sisted that unless something was done to
bride her tongue life to them, one and all,
would be shorn of its charms. Mrs. Egan
in reply stated that Notwithstanding they
we're constantly "a fussin', and fussin', |
meek as Moses under their overtures, and |
as peaceful as skipping lambs at play.

the court.
''Oh, yes, yer honor"

''But they're not here, your honor
''Not here! Why amt they here? Didn't |
you procure continuance yesterday to |
have them subp@ned?"
Il did, your honor; but they're very re-

indeed, and won't come to court"
''Ten dollars and costs and you give a |
bond in the sum of 800 to keep the |
peace"
sob, yes, your honor;' and she did.
