WEDNESDAYS MATINEE.


Mahala Barker. colored, has a two-dol-
lar contract in the rock parlors for dis
orderly conduct.
Albert Jones, colored, was up again and
fined three dollars for sleeping out, one
dollar extra going to the State.
The Court notified the present and pros
pective sinners that in future a sentence
of, say three dollars, for a plain drunk
meant four dollars, one dollar of which
would go to the State.
Michael Salyini, an Americanized son OF
sunny Italy, was charged with being drunk
and disorderly, for which he was fined
twenty-five dollars, the Court holding up
twenty dollars during good behavior.
Frank billiard, the colored professor of
profane eloquence, who stirred Aliens
avenue to its profoundest depths Just after
church last Sunday, will spend ten dollars
worth of his %sojourn in this vale of tears
reducing rock in the ~reformatory semi
nary.
Lou Young is a very bad colored girl.
She was sin" some time ago, but was trust
ed out TO go after a change of raiment, but
failed to return until yesterday, when she
was brought back i'll a well-developed con-
dition of vagrancy. She will peck rock
five dollars worth. 81.
Five dollars to the city and one dollar
to the State is what Polk Bradford will
have to put up for the privilege of abusing
the watchman of the Chesapeake, Ohio
and Southwestern railway depot for kick
ing against his making that quarter of the
city his headquarters while carrying out a
loating contract.
For good and sufficient reasons, in the
mind of the Court, a number of violators
OF the health and sanitary ordinances were
allowed ten days in which to finish up
work begun or contracted for. Several
others who had made no demonstration
toward obeying orders were fined five dol
lars n given ten days longer, with a
warning.
The Court was bothered in mind and
sore in body at the conclusion of business
when, in footing upthe result it was devel-
oped that of the cash taken in but six dol
lars went to the city, while eleven dollars
went to the county. He swore by his
Sunday plug hat that he would never
again make a rebate on a cash case. The
unpaid fines amounted to $50 dollars, or
920 days. The greater part of the latter
will be turned in tb-day pm paid-up mitti-
muses.. Fl
All old mittimuses revived and sent up
to the Criminal Court On a 500-dollar bond
was the sentence passed upon Charles
Fitzsimmons, the very, very bad white
boy, who has gradually worked himself up
into IN ~unenviabie place in criminal an
mails by appropriating other peoples
property. Charles heart-broken mother
was present and her sobs and tears APP
pealed to all present for sympathy for her,
but not a sentence of that character was
expressed for the boy, who appears BEN
upon serving a term in the State prison.
At the conclusion of the case against
Mollie Mosby and Annie Dunn, the Court
went off at a tangent and warned the
world, the flesh and the devil that here
after when he delivered a lecture on NOR
ality, temperance or any other theme sug-
gested by the sinners brought before him
it shall be needed and the warnings thrown
out shall not be disobeyed, threatening a
full term OF service on the rock pile for all
who dare to violate his edicts. After the
delivery of this warning, when his honor
had recovered his equilibrium the regular
docket ~as again taken up and proceeded
with.

the city in rear of the Central Baptist
church, was pulled from center to circum-
ference yesterday for violating the health

ALI. A. Taliaferro (Toliveffor Short s1d
Reve Weeden, two colored youths, got
into a wrangle about a woman, during
which the latter faxed the former in
handsome styte. TGfyer proved satisfac-
tory to the Court that ne gas not the
assailant, and was discharged, willie d.
adversary was turned in to the tune OF ten
dollars. TqAFef walked out Of the COURT
brood, but he must have struck d iapia
lightning distillery, for in less than an hopr
he was brought back 'blind," and had IL
be stood up while the turnkey went
through" him for valuables.
Sidney whitford was up to respond to
some very serious charges-assault and
battery, and assault with a knife-but the
cream of the story -as not brought III in
testimony. Two OF thee witnesses resid-
ing neal Whitford, on Jones avenue, test,
fed that on Saturday night the neighbor-
hood was disturbed by the loud screams
of a woman calling upon her mother in
apparent great distress, among other
things appealing to some one not to MUIR
der her mother. Whitford's wife and
mothsrIin-law, who had been subpenaed
as witnesses, failed 10 appear. The Court

fine to the full extent Of. his powerfully
dollars. After @ brjet lecture half the
