from 10 to 20 feet. Three-tourths OF
Brooklyn were submerged and the
country around for miles north and
south was under water. The families OF
farmers were "scattered along the rid

The Cases DispOsed OF this Morn
Ing.

This mornings session of Municipal
Court was opened promptly at
O'Clock, with Judge Cummins on the
bench.
John Thompson, small boy, was
the first case called. He was charged
with throwing stones in the street, ana
the Judge, after reprimanding him, let
him 60 on his promise that he Would
not do so any more.
jesse Jones, colored, was charged
with being drunk. Jesse is a brother
of Emma Virginia Jones Shaw, and
was only released from New Castle jail
last Saturday. He said that he was
working around Plunkett's liquor store
and they gave him some liquor, and ne
supposed he drank too much. lhe
Judge advised him to stop drinking
altogether, and after warning him never
to come back any more, imposed fine
ofSl and costs, which will probably y send
him back to the custody of Sheriff Mar
Tin for the next twenty days.
The last case was n portly citizen
who requested the reporters to suppress
his name. The charge was drunken
ness, aud while he plead guilty, he All
dressed the Court as follows: 81 was

| would suggest to your honor that you
let me 90, as | don't like the position IN
which am placed" The Judge 10 oked
