WAYS OF THE WICKED


day Morning-Drunks and Disorderlies
as Usual Whose Ways are CrOoked-Had
His Nose Punched-A Case for Investiga-
tiOn by Temperance Reformers-Ope for
the Exercise of Charity-Recruits for the
Army of Tramps-The General Grist.
A crowded house, and house as enthu-
sIastic IN quiet way as it was crowded,
greeted the dispensations made yesterday
morning in the municipal court. The
docket was the largest of any called since
Judge Burr re-occupied his judicial robes,
and its disposition was as gratifying as re-
CARDS the time occupied, as the unifca-
ton of opposing factions must have re-
Gently been to dissseting Presby yterians;
or rather those of the sect who have
thought that the playing of an organ in
church was one of the objectionable sins.
Drunks were in the majority with disorder
lies and resistance of officers saving their
distance and one case of larceny. The
keeper of the bridewell was teIephoned
to have twelve extra plates for dinner
yesterday, to accommodate the ac-
cessions to his family that were
| carried out in the Black Maria
Frank Collins imagined he was the sole
possessor of Seven corners and its sur
roundirgs on Sunday night. Officer Low
| ell disputed his title, and was made the OBJ
| jective point at which Collins directed a
volume of contumelious vituperations, as
| he was being taken to Jail. He was fined
| $15, but as his possessions sized up but So
was sent out of town for time.
John Maginnis, James Foster and James
Murry told the court they were drunk, in
which tale they confirmed that recited by
the officers. They attempted excuses for
their conduct, in which the sentences,
| driven to desperation, periodic visits, Un-
Gle Toms Cabin,little Eva going to heaven
| astride Texas jackass, and the like, could
be indistinctly heard, but a fine of SIS each
indicated that his honor didn't consider the
provocations, grave though they certainly
| appeared to be, sufficient to palliate the of
| Tense.
foreman of one of the street car sta
bles had his nose punched Saturday
night by one of the employees named Wag-
ner. Regarding the punch as one not
altogether palatable as one might think,
he procured Wagner's arrest. The latter,
like boy in the waiting room on certain
| occasion, had but little to say and was
| fined $40.
John Wilson proved that his being
| charged with drunkenness was an error of
| judgment in the entry of his arrest, and
was discharged.
Ciprico Lillian, Jereboam Gasser, De-
mosthenes Sullivan with peeled bugle,
and Oscar Wilson, quartette of drunks
| for this time only, were each fined sum
of dimensions that will keep them sober
for week at least.
| John Baker is the name of a
seventeen-year-old boy who told
the court that this was only
the second time he had been arrested for
drunkenness. On Saturday the arrest
ing officer was notified that drunk en- boy
had secured the vacation of Irving park,
by his riot and disorder. Ladies had fled
in fear, servant girls had skipped with
| fright, and little children, by a miraculous
| interposition of luck, or Providence, had
been enabled to depart in peace. The Off
Ger hurried toward the besieged locality,
| but found the cause en- route, and arresting
him succeeded in procuring his detention
| at the city hall. Yesterday morning he
| pleaded guilty to the charge, but refused
| to tell where he obtained the liquor, assert
! ing that he was too drunk to remember
/ lnything about it. The court fined the
! youthful bacchanal $25, but suspended
execution during good behavior; while he
IS sober it might, be good time for
| crusaders in the cause of temperance to
| ascertain what the court failed to extort
| from accused.
| = An intelligent appearing mar, who gave
| the name of John Roell, was presented to
his honor as a candidate for judicial sever
| ity and was elected for a full term. On
| Sunday he not only got drunk, but abused
| and insulted the man and woman who sold
him the beer. Such helnous offenses as
these are not to be tolerated in a Christian
community, wherefor he was fined S25,
the payment of which will be taken out in
| active and healthful exercise at the work
| house.
Henry Maginnis, another boy whose
bump of destruction is of huge length,
| breadth and thickness, expressed his pre-
dilection for rendering timid Teutons par
| alyzed with fear, by thrusting laths and

The kid said he only did it for fun, and
the court decreed the fun to have been
worth SIS.
On Sunday night, as Officer Evans testi-
fed in court yesterday morning, he was
| standing at the entrance to Fourth street
tunnel engaged in official meditation
| While thus occupied he noticed a party of
four men and one woman passed through
the tunnel and proceeded in an opposite
direction from where he meditated official
ly. Pretty soon he heard cries of murder,
police, help, and hastened to the rescue of
him or her in need of aid. Upon arriving
at the locality of the impending calamity,
| he found Steve Curran, Pat. Curran, Mag
gle Curran, the two latter brother and sis
ter, and w. G. Connolly conducting them
selves disorderly, and attempted their ar
rest. He secured one of the Currans, but
was interfered with, he claimed, and at
the corner of Fifth and Kittson streets this
! interference prevailed. He again placed
| the prisoner under arrest and sought to take
him to Jail. At this interesting period
he claims that Connolly ''fred stone" at
