Detailed and Administered in the NUM-
cipai Court on Yesterday Morning
Drunks and DisorderIies Disposed Of
Cushman's Case and Hunster's Crime-A
Dog StOry-All about Fifteen Cents-The
General Grist.
There was the usual crowd in attendance
at them unicipal court on yesterday. The
lobby was crowded, and the prisoners
dock well filled. The first case called was
that of Ashley Souson. He IS very res
pectable man in appearance. but bore evil
dence of being on prolonged spree.
When interrogated as to his guilt on
charge of drunkenness he pleaded guilty
without the offer of an apology for his
ofense and was fined So.
A man named Scofeld, but who appear
ed on the docket as ''Mike Mcdonald" ,"was
arraigned for drunkenness. He stated to
the court that he had but just landed here
from st. Louis, and meeting
an old friend had joined him in cup of
gladness for the sake of old times. Its
subsequent effects, however, convinced the
accused that his friend had drugged the
liquor, and that was the cause of his arrest
He was fined $40.
It cost $40 to talk back to an officer in
front of Fort street boarding house.
That's the way it was sized up to Edward
Book, who on Saturday night, when being
warned to make less noise at the place
cited, gave the peeler to understand he'd
do as he pleased. Hereafter he'll do as the
officer pleases without consulting his own
sweet will.
A consumptive looking man by the
name of B. NJ. Perrow, was arraigned
at the instance of Officer DeCeursey
on charges of drunkenness and 1isorderly
conduct. He had a bottle of whisky
Saturday night, from which he absorbed
so much as to be holy terror. The ar
resting officer experienced the utmost
difficulty in subduing the hilari0usness of
the occasion, and only delivered him at the
city jail with the help of Officer McMahou.
His release from the workhouse will
follow the payment of fine of $15 and
costs.
II. Dubuy and E. Johnson were discov-
cred by Officer Steigers acting in very
suspicious manner about the corner of
Sixth and Washington streets. 1t was 3
o'clock in the morning, and the impression
created by their conduct was sug-
gestive of burglary. The officer ar
rested both, a man who was with
them making his escape at the time, and
they passed the succeeding hours until yes
terday morning in the city Jail. 1t being
proven that they were wandering about in
an aimless sort of way under the in
fuence of liquor fine of SO each was
assessed against them.
NJ. L. Fitz was charged with being in
toxicated, but it appearing from the evil
dence that he was inclined to be fighty,
though harmless, he was discharged and
his friends advised to institute an exami-
nation into his sanity.
Neil Cushman, who made the locality
head of Commercial street the scene of
disorder on Sunday, creating a panic
among law abiding citizens, and defying
the efforts of Officer Casey to procure his
arrest on charge of burglary, was
fined 500, or ninety days in the
workehouse. He was also arraigned
on charge of burglarizing Sullivan's
saloon last November, and lifting liquor
and cigars therefrom to the value of $26.
To this latter accusation he entered plea
of not guilty, and will offer evidence to
sustain his plea tomorrow.
James Anderson and Daniel McTeren were
found stretched out asleep at the corner
of Third and Exchange streets Saturday
night. 1t was believed from their actions
that they were both drunk, but each told
the court this was fiction. They were
sober and had only lain down to take a
much needed rest. Each was fined SO,
and both were taken to the workhouse.
Charles Hunster, the coon who attempt
ed to make an angel of Eva Welch on Sun
day morning in their room at No. 37C
Jackson street, was on hand to enter 6
plea of not guilty to shooting with intent
to kill. His victim YVES represented as i'm
| proving, and, if she had good luck, would
be able to appear and testify within {
week. In consequence of this interven
| tion the hearing of the facts was postpon
| ed to next Monday morning, until when
! Hunster was held in $4,000 bonds, which
he could not furnish.
Leopold Luther repeated his Statement
of Saturday morning in reference
to beating dog that ''the dog Wa
| MS own ana ne COulQ DeaI MIN as mucH al
he pleased" He was speedily convinced
of his error, but it took five witnesses, in
Guiding two doctors, arguments of counci
and a fine of so to bring about that result
NJ. Self and W. De Groat disputed fo
the possession of an umbrella at the unio1
depot news stand yesterday morning. Sci
had hold of one end of the shade, which HI
retained to emphasize his demand fo
fifteen cents he claimed De Groat oweC
him, and De Groat had hold of the othe
to emphasize his refusal to pay. By som'
means mprehensible to listeners Sci
was drawn upon the counter, and through
agencies equally m mysterious De Groat's lii
collided with the heel of SeIf's boot. Sci
told the court that he was unable to &C
count for the latter incident, but De Groa
! dissipated all doubt with the assertion tha
he'd been kicked with malice aforethough
and considerable force. The court though
so too and fined the high kicker $15.
Frank Mosklesky, it was claimed, as
saulted Joseph Wyecknonski, without cause
or provocation last Friday. The object O.

that as a school inspector he'd declined tt
