A MoMEEToUs CAUSE.

a recess was taken by tie Polico Court
yesterday afternoon upon most moneutous
consideration. The Board of Police Com.
missionerB had adjourned, and the hearing of
the motion for new trial in the Chandler
nuisance case was in progress. As enc of the
attorneys wss soaring aloft in the upper
realms of elcquence, and was getting to the
collar of the Court under the power of his
argument, an attache of the police head
quarters approached the msgisteTial bench
and, ia a polite undertone, informed his
Honor that the Chief of Police desired to
have him adjourn the Court or taka recess
for few moments, and to come down stairs
as he wanted to see him. Judge Henry, cup
posing there was something urgent below
requiring his immediate attention,
interrupted the attorneys argument,
and stating that q recess of
few minutes would be taken by the Court,
promptly responded to the call. Upon arriv-
lug st the police Office he was met by the
Chief, who in a very positive and somewhat
angry manner said, =" want you to see what
l sm going to do" He then stepped towards
the bulletin Of the detail Of officers hanging
upon the wall, which had been made out in
accordance with the order of Mayor Brown
and Judge Henry, as majority Of the Board
of Police Commissioners, and was about to
reach for it in o destructive way, when Judge
Henry, with much resentment remarked,

and down stairs for =? and turning quickly,
started for the Courtroom again. The tear.

immediately heard, and accompanying it was

around the room TO see If there was anyone
who could possibly hear what be wss about
to say, and ct lsst, as if fearful that a word
might be overheard, beckoned his listener 10
! follow him outdoors, so they could be sure OF
being alone Again the drunk" was sus-
picious that all was not entirely safe. and af-
ter much effort got his victim to follow him
to the backside OF the house, and then around
another building, and finally when he could
| persuade his follower to 90 no further, and
| stern demand being made to know what was
the important matter and great secret to be
presented, the much inebTiated Individual, az

| for cowsns and eavssdrOppers, and after
Strengthening up several times and looking sx-
ceedingly vice. to make cut that if anybody
was drunk it wasn't he, pointed down TO his
little dog, which had followed him, and was
