LOCAL INTELLIGENCE

Police COMMISSIONERS "A special meet
ing of the Board of Police Commissioners
was held yesterday afternoon. L. S. Taylor,
w. r. Strong and S. B. Smith appeared as a
committee from the Citizens Association to
ask that the police force be made to enforce
the law forbidding the sale of liquor on cleo
ton days. 1t was also stated that the Trus-
tees would be asked to select some other
places than saloons for polling places. Con-
missioner Henry moved that the police be d.
rected to use vigilance in reference to the
matter complained Of, and his motion was
adopted. Commissioner Ksrcher suggested,
during the discussion of the motion, that if
the Z jard furnished him 100 extra officers
for election day he would see that no liquor
was sold, but intimated that it was imPossi-
BILE with his small force to keep peace at the
polls and watch the 400 saloons in town.
Judge Henry stated that there was citizen
present who had alleged that On the day pre-
vious he had seen policeman drunk on the
street. He urged the citizen TO make state
ment but that gentleman, MIR. Parker, did
not accept the invitation. In this connection
it is proper to state that members of the po-
lice force request him to give the name Of
the policeman referred to, holding that it is
not right for the whole forcs to suffer under
the imputation, even if one man was guilty,
and of that they have serious doubts.
COURT ITEMs.-In the Superior Court, be-
fore Judge Armstrong, yesterday, George NJ.
Farr, who is in custody on a charge of for
gerry, was examined before a jury as to his

many weeks as to lead the officers at the Jail,
as well as others, to think that perhaps he
was demented. Several witnesses were exam
ined, including number of physicians. The
jury were out only about long enough to take
ballot, and returned with verdict that Farr
was sane. 90. In Department Two, Judge Nc
Farland, the case of c. L. White vs. H. G.
Smith, for s., 600 attorneys fees, was sub

of plaintiff for the amount sued for The
case of All Cue VS.. Levi Painter, for damages
in the sum of sd, $50, alleged to have been

shot at and wounded him on the 9Th of last
June, because of his having taken some fruit

Court interpreter, went to Davisville yester-
day morning to interpret in the case of four
