THE LEG IL LAYOUT.

and continued to enable the accused TO
abate the same.
Frank Palmer, an unsophisticated grang
er from Wisconsin, thought to be in the
fashion, TO get drunk at the Merchants.
He was arrested and yesterday morning
informed that such doings were not per-
mitted at the Merchants, either by its
landlord or the city ordinances; he prom
ised to aToid that locality when DESTROYS of
hereafter gazing upon the wine cup when
it is red, and was let of with fine of five
dollars.
Robert Cruikshank appeared in court to
prosecute man recorded on the docket as
"a. Gleason" Cruikshank was not called
upon to testify, owing to a continuance;
but his facial developments bore evidence
that some one had sent him
home, quite recently, high
ly colored chrome. The man accused
of making his victim a specimen of
decorative art, will tell the particulars
this morning.
Wednesday night window in one of the
University avenue cars was mysteriously
broken. Patrick Johannes Conley was
charged with the fracture, bat denied the
allegation, insisting that it was the result
of too much talking INDUCED in by the
driver. The latter told the court that Con-
ley did it with his fist, and that he could
prove it too, if old Bill Johnson was alive.
His honor adopted the drivers theory I'M
supported by the testimony Of the aged
William and evidenced his conviction of
the premises by fining the prisoner at the
bar, ten cases. The penalty was paid.
Joachim Walhat was arraigned for de-
nouncing Hugh Montgomery as an "Irish
hound" and generally in terms too remote
from nice to be quoted in fashionable
circles. The prisoner called three men
and two women, none of whom could
speak English, aud sought by them
through an interpreter and a smart young
advocate, to establish the impression that
justice was altogether on his side. The
victims evidence destroyed the fabric
Walhat's Teutonic attorney was erecting,
and his client was held in bonds to keep
the peace for one year. During that ex-
tended period he will doubtless become
better informed regarding Mr.. Montgom-
cry, and so be restrained from repetition
of his offense.
Mary Flynn is an oleaginous cow-
pound, and the wife of one, John Flynn,
lank, lean and hungry looking household
er on the flats. Wednesday, as John
averred had been her custom for many
years, Mary got crazy drunk and made
their home SO rcd not with profanity etc,as
that it was impossible for him to stay
there, so he planted himself on the front
steps of the mansion while Mary re-
manned within,s preading destruction to the
furniture and crockery without reference to
the pecuniary value of the outfit. There
upon she was arrested. John, her hus-
band, clambered into chair by the aid of
a stepladder, and told his story to the
above import. Mary demurred and asked
for nonsuit, on the grounds that the
dishes destroyed were her'n and that he
was crazy jealous, as her husband, by the
way, claimed he had ample reason to be.
A fine of $25 was assessed against Mary,
whereupon she wrapped the drapery of
her Paiseley about her and sat down to
weep. The prosecuting husband elung to
the court room like tom cat to a back
yard fence, waiting for the departure of
the Black Maria, or to pay Mary's fine.
A woman who gave the name of Hattie
Brown, an alias, was presented by Officer
Rouleau, as simple drunk and fined five
dollars. She had no money, and of course
was committed to the asylum for impover-
ished prisoners, with which she has be-
come thoroughly familiar. Within the
past two years the prisoner has sunk from
the position of bankers wife to that of a
gutter snipe, and from condition of af-
fuence to that of abject poverty. During
that period she has become resolved from
refined lady to an outcast, and from the
center of social admiration to the loathing
of men and women as degraded as herself
She is the wife of a prominent, wealthy
and influential capitalist of Mauston, Wis.
Two years ago next month she was one of
party of ladies and gentlemen who came
to st. Paul from La Crosse, Sparta and
Mansion en- route to Lake Minnetenka.
The party were guests of the Windsor, and
the woman arraIgned yesterday morning as
a common drunkard was the handsom
est, moss elegantly dressed, and
seemingly exuberant with hap
piness, of the company. While
there she renewed the acquaintance of a
railroad man known to her while a young
lady, and when the tourists continued their
trip to the lake, she was nowhere to be
found. Little was thought of this at the
time, as it was concluded she had decided
to visit friends il the city. Two days
afterward, Officer McMahon arrested a
fashionably dressed woman, while endeav
oring to effect an entrance into Third
street saloon at o'clock in the morning.
When brought into court she claimed to
have been drugged, and upon making an
examination into the facts of the ease, the
Judge decided to release her and so direct
ed. The news of her escapade, meanwhile,
reached the husband who disowned her,
since when she has been wanderer and
an eutcast. She is woman of intelligence,
innate refinement, educated and accom-
plished. 1t might not be unworthy for
some samaritan to undertake her redemp-
ton. If such there be, who can snatch a
brief rest from posing upon the corners
of the streets to thank God they are not as
others, the object of their humanity can be
found at the city workhsuse.
