A FATAL STEP.
A Young Lad Drowned in the Brandywine
Yesterday Afternoon.

Yesterday Afternoon.
About 4.30 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
James O'Donnell, a young lad aged about
~ years, suddenly met his death by drown
ing the Brandywine. The deceased had gone
down to the gate of the jackson & Sharp
Company's works for the purpose of obtain
ing drink of water. After obtain, It,
he ran down to the railroad bridge, and as
sisted the hagmsp, William H. Collision, to
pull down signal: He was warned by Mr..
Collision to be careful or he might fall over
board. Hardly had the warning been
uttered, when the unfortunate lad stepped
backward and fell into the water
below. Mr.. Collision being unable
to swim, procured pole as quickly as pos
sible, and endeavored to reach it to the lad
but 1t was too short.
In few moments after he fell he sank to
rise no more alive. The alarm was quickly
spread, and IN response to the cry that boy
had been drowned at the railroad bridge,
Sherman Biddle, who was sitting at Seventh
and Bennett streets, FASTENED to the
scene, and after partially disI obing,
leaped overheard, and after short
search succeeded in finding the body
and with assistance got 1t on the bridge.
The remains were then taken TO 708 Curlett
street, where the boys parents reside. The
boy was the Oldest Of four children, who
came with their mo her from Ireland about
two months ago. The father works for the
Pusey 81 Jones Company.
This morning Deputy Coroner Palmer
held an inquest and, after hearing the evil
dence of Messrs. Collision and Biddle, whose
testimony did not differ materially frcm the
facts as stated above, the jury rendered a
verdict OF accidental drowning.

An Impudent "ModeI" Who Ought to

An Impudent aModeI" Who Ought to
Have Been Committed for Contempt.
1t has been the custom for somt time for
the model frauds about the City Hall to dis
play their i!l-breeding and ill-manners at
the Municipal Court. The conduct of some
of the "modelso is more betitting that OF
the INHABITANTS of Patagonia. This morning
this evil custom reached crisis. Moore. one
of the "models,o had two men arrested
for vagrancy. The same men were arrested
about week ago and Judge Cummins dis
mi 'sed the charge of vagrancy and fined
them 81 and costs for disorderly conduct;
and Chief Hawkins made return that they
had served oat the sentence. This morning
Moor was called to. the stand and proceeded
in an insolent manner and with a swagger
behtting a bully, to give his testimony.
Reac hing the height of impudence
he said, 81 met the men several
times, drunk and loatiing around
but told them to go out OF town. l would
have arrested them but they would have
b en- discharged as they were the other day"
After he had delivered himself of this re-
markable piece of impudence, the
Judge called his attention to the
fact that the men had been fined and if they
had been dismissed, it was the duty Of
Moore to arrest them at any time he saw
them drunk. Moore, still in olent, denied
again that they had been fined and Clerk
Pennington said that the records would show
that they had been. Moore, ever ready, re-
piled to the Clerk and said, insolently,
i'My word is as good as yours" Judge
Cummins stopped further discussion by
commanding Moore to keep quiet, but il
was the Opt, ion of many in the audience
that he should have enforced the order by q
fine of $40 or imprisonment for contempt ol

Court Notes.

When the case of Peter Sheridan, late cap- tain of the police, was called yesterday morn- ing he did not respond. Later, however, he entered the court room with his counsel, ex Judge Robinson. The latter entered de- murrer, no doubt presCming that it would be overruIed and that sentence would be pronounced and the bond fixed. Ex-Captain Sheridan declined to plead, and Judge Dem ing overruled the demurrer, found him gull ty and sentenced him to ten days in jail. With this sentence there were also included the costs, amounting to $4.18. The bond on the appeal was fixed at $50. Patrick McKenna, who furnished $75 bonds Monday evening when Mr. Sheridan surrendered himself, was promptly recognized in this amount for the appearance of the ex captain before the February term of the Superior court. This finished the legal formalities, and Mir. Sheridan walked out of the court room lowing smiling recognition to num- Der of acquaintances which he passed on the way.
 Max Foley could not fully explain inthe City court yesterday morning how he came to be engaged in a rough and tumble fight with Pat rick Doyle'at the corner of Dow and Oak street Sunday night, but was inclined to think that Doyle set upon him without provocation Foley had considerably the worst of the Bcuffle, having been beaten so that bis face was covered with blood when the officers found them He mentioned incidentally in his testimony that during the night some one had robbed him of SIT. Judge Deming fined each of them $5 and costs.

A Former New Haven Mans Visit East
 New Haven People In LuRonin in the
 Golden State.
 Mir. George A. Cook, formerly in the ex- press business on Church street corner of Center, and for five years past residing in Lugonia, San Bernardino O., California, is in the city for short visit. Many friends are pleased to greet him. He left Lugonia Oct. 29 and visited several points on the road. He is in fine health, looking hale and hearty. His health was quite poor when he left here for California. He is doing we'll also in busi- ness, and has the only store in the place and keeps the postofice. He was one of the first settlers there and the place now num- bers about 500 people. Land which could at first be brought for $2o an acre is now worth five times that. Grapes, apricots, peaches, nectsrines and oranges are raised there, and the most of the fruit is sent east. In this little town there have been shipped over 700 tons of dried peaches, and then the grape crop has been immense and they l ship large quantities of raisins. The town is within two miles of the railroad and eight from San Bernardino, and the towns are con- nected by telephone. They have no rain in  that section from May to November and con- slider themselves fortunate if they get six days continuous rain between November and May. Thunder storms are unknown. Though this is the fact, the mountain regions, which are within sight, are frequently visited by storms. In the summer the weather is very hot and would be uncomfortable were it not for the breeze from the sea, which is 40 miles dis tant. From sunrise to nearly nine o'clock, be- fore the breeze comes from the coast, the heat is very trying. but after the breeze comes they are all right and can work out in the fields. At night during the summer months blankets on the bed at night are nec- essary for comfort, the nights are so cool. There is very little dew also. All the water they get for their crops is by irrigation from the mountains. A little spring on place there would be worth $5,OOO, but they are unknown. There are quite number Of New Haven people in Lugonia. One of MT. Cook s nearest neighbors is MT. Holt, formerly in the Second National bank here, and another near neighbor is West Haven gentleman.
