The votarieS of Rach1ls were out in
force last night, and shortly after the
Mayor took his seat four unfortunate
victims were marched in and took their
seats in the dock. William McGonui-
gal was the first, and the officer who
made the arrest testified that he found
William at Taylor and Church streets
very drunk, and the Mayor imposed
the usual % cents and costs.
Jonas Heck was picked up helpless
ly drunk and assisted TO the hail, and
the Mayor thought 80 cents and costs
would do for him this time. Jonas
took the pledge for year, n month or
50 ago, but yielded to temptation and
landed wh.r" h" has Frequently been

John Thomas was seen by au officer
sitting on the curbStOnr at Front and
Madison streets with his feet in the gut
ter and his arms around tree. AS the
officer was afraid he might take cold he
took him to the hall where he was
taken care of, for the tritie Of
20 cents and costs.
John Thompson. who had il cash on
his left cheek and bore the general aI-
pearance Of having been in IA row was
the next and last customer. John, like
those who had preceded him, had i'm
bibed too freely, and the Mayor wrotA.
down 80 cents and costs. John seemed
careful for fear he might b"
