THE SCA1ES OF JUSTICE.

THE SCALES OF JUSTICE.
How They Were Adjusted and Did Dntv
in the PoiIce Court Yesterday Morning.
The case of NJ. O'Keefe, charged with
disorderly conduct, in other words, with
making his domestic hearth regular stage
of hostile demonstrations, adjourned from
Tuesday, came up in course yesterday.
The testimony was Yoluminous, and much
of it would scarcely find expressions in a
religious weekly. He was represented as
having applied epithets to his wife of a
savory character the opposite of Christian,
OF making threats, compelling her to fur
nlsh him with water to wash his feet, max
ing immodest motions, screaming, and
rendering life so intolerable to her that the
lease thereto was rapidly becoming unbear-
able. He said that the madame was fonder
of Swede man than of him, and that
while he was at home scrubbing the floor
she was off visiting and coquetting for
sympathy. He got $25 fine and thirty
days, and during his absence it is thought
that doVe-eyed peace will spread its wings
over the O'Keete domicil.
Henry Swanson resides on the island.
On Tuesday he got drunk on what his wife
said was rye whisky. He said it was beer,
and Otncer Stiegers suggested it was
crushed shrimp salad. Whatever it was it
had the effect of resolving Henry into a
condition of impetuosity the reverse of
pleasing and not altogether harmless.
Having elected the madame from their
island home, he proceeded to have high
old time all by himself. But his festivities
were brought to period when the officer
arrested and took him to the city jail. He
was let off with fine of SIS; and for a
limited period can be found in the select
circle which residrs at the workhouse,
day and night.
Lottie Fay, brunette in a black satin
pull-back and jockey hat and feather, got
bewilderingly tight Tuesday evening, and
after being elected from the Opera house,
took possession of Third street. During
her occupation of that thoroughfare she
introduced herself to promeCaders, telling
who she was and where she came from in
language none of the best, and was having
things her own way until Captain Clark
disputed her title and sent the vociferous
Lottie to Jail. The court fined her SO
dollars which she paid and swept out of
court, with the air of one who knew a thing
or two, it would not be wise to give up.
William OConnor, arraigned for drunk
enness, was held on suspicion of having
committed a more Igrievous crime even
than that. Officer Ashe stated to the court
that it was the impression he had robbed
house near the Seventh street bridge of
very hard cash to the amount of S12O.
The why's and wherefores of the suspicion
INDUCED were not promulgated, but will be
in the near future, as the police claim to
have him dead to rights, which, if true
would indicate he is candidate for Still
water whose calling and election are as
sured.
John Olson, George Lynch, Justus DAY.
enport and Marius Mahoney awoke the
stiffness of night which prevailed, or is
supposed to prevail at the house OF Nellie
Rice, near the corner of Eagle and Frank
lin streets. Their disorder attracted the
attention of officers Bahe and Stiegers at
the jingling hour of one o'clock yesterday
morning. They rang for admittance,
whereupon the noise ceased, and upon en-
tering found Nellie and Davenport dream
ing the happy hours away, with the re-
naming three occupied III rocking the
cradle and keeping the flies off the sleepers.
The entire party was run in, and yesterday
morning, being unable to convince the
court they were members of Gideon's
band, each was fined ten dollars. All paid
but Davenport and the female, and left.
The latter sought to extort sympathy by
tapping her lachrymal glands, from
which plentiful streams gushed forth,
while Justus shifted himself uneasiIy
in his chair and vowed he was an innocent
victim to put up job. Later he and Nell
took ride in the Black Maria, the balance
standing near By and giggling at their
misfortunes like bevy of cockroaches
from their corner in the floor.
Bartholomew Lewis agreed with Thomas
Horan, when the latter claimed he had
been villianously assaulted by the former
near the Montgomery restaurant in the
gray light of the morning of April six
teenth. 1t appearing that Koran testified
to facts which came under his personal
observation, and it further appearing from
wounds received in the encounter, that he
had been done up to the Queens taste,
Bartholomew was accorded the privilege
of contributing $50 to the school fund
and serving the city at manual labor for a
period of thirty days.
The name of Sempronius Cadmus John
son, appearing on the court docket, con-
veyed an impression that he had been
violating one of the municipal ordinances.
This impression was confirmed by officer
Bahe, who stated that even then, he was so
drunk that his appearance in court was an
impossibility. In view of this his case was
continued until this morning.
A man named Joachim Walbat was ar
rested at the instance of Hugh Montgom-
cry, for calling the latter not only an ''Irish
hound" but an Irish rufian" and otherwise
applying terms regarding his ancestry the
truth of which can be dissipated without
reference to works on heraldry. Hugh says
he's none of these, and offered to prove it
in open court on yesterday morning. Joa-
chin wasn't ready for trial, however, and
from the number of witnesses he procured
to be subpoenaed, it is probable that this
morning he will tale unfold of the most
interesting and sensational type.
A gray haired disciple of John Barley
corn who protested that he'd gotten boozy
on ginger ale and not on sour mash, was
released to reform. He can now put on
red ribbon and become an advocate of
the temperance cause, and join in the che-
rus when temperance union females touch
