THE WAY OF THE TRANSGRESSOR
A Lively Session at the Police Court
Yesterday-A Job Lot Docket
and How 1t Was Dis
OOcnd Of

There is nothing so dubious as nice; the
evil doer suspects even himself and trusts
nobody. On this account he is his own enc
my and he has no friends. The bull pen of
the police court is to humanity what the
catch basin is to the sanitary condition of a
city. It is the common fumigator OF society.
As usual of Monday the gist yesterday was
large. The most conspicuous case on the
docket was that of Dennis Sweeny and James
Keogh. These young men were arraigned
on the charge of burglary, and the case
demonstrated how criminally foolish some
men become when under the influence of
liquor. Last Sunday they were on tare,
and while crazed with drink they broke
into Gray's feed store, corner of University
and Virginia avenues and, out of pure Gus
sedness, they carted off half dozen sacks of
-four. They carried the flour two or three
blocks and then, out of downright malicious
ness, they scattered it broadcast over the
street. They were arrested by Officer Riley,
and yesterday Judge Burr held them to the
grand jury. In default of $3.50 bail they
were committed.
John Sanford, a shoddy genteel tramp and
lunch fiend, was up on the charge of assault.
He is one Of the individuals for whose spe-
clal penent The Spanish proverb was coined;
that if he was not sufficient wise to let good
enough alone. He called at the police sta
ton for lodging on Sunday night, and after
reaching the tramps' room, he kicked be-
cause he didn't have the best bed, and he
proceeded to bounce another ledger. He
was locked up and yesterday he went cut for
thirty days.
Mary Thompson, decrepid and dissipat-
ed Old dame, was up on the charge of drunk
enness. She said she had taken drop too
much and she was committed for thirty
days.
The case against Felix Danserau, arrested
on the charge of stealing feather bed from
an aged man named Chas. Quivelon, was
dismissed.
d: e. Corleis was arraigned on the charge
OF abusive language, which consisted in call
ing Z. w. Chapman hard names. The com
plant grew out of boarding house row an
account of which appeared in previous is
sue Of the GLOBE. Case dismissed.
The case of G. Sullivan, j. Hanley and M.
Burke, charged with creating a riot at a
christening, was called at O'Clock and oc-o
cupied the attention Of the court for the re-

A Reporters Lot is Not q Happy One
Happy One.

In the report of the trial of the silk goods
thieves, as published in yesterdays GLOBE,
you say that one of the thieves began flirting
with the girls in the store while the other
stole the silk. The writer of that statement
is fool, and should be cowhided for bring
ing respectable young ladies before the pub
lie in any such connection To weave a ro-
nance around the acts Of brace of common
thieves may be right, but when anything
more is attempted, it should be dealt with as
it deserves. Give me the name of your re-
porter, and if he does not apologize to the
Young ladies he has mentioned in this con-
nection, will give him the cowhiding he so
richly deserves. Respectfully,

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
The Doings of the Board of Directors
Yesterday Morning.

The attendance of members at the meeting
of the board of directors of the chamber CT
commerce yesterday morning was not as
was not very important or particularly inter
esting.
The special committee on the fifteen thous-
and dollar appropriation for the West
St. Paul levee was given further time and
will confer with Col. Mckenzie tomorrow.
Mr.. D. R. Noyes read proposition from
Mr. j. D. Thomas, in which the latter agreed
to lease the market house for 81, 500 year,
and the same was filed.
AN INQUIRY.
The committee on fire department was d.
rected to inquire into the matter
of the fire plugs being frozen,
with q view to making such
suggestions as should be deemed desirable.
When the matter was proposed Mr.. William
Lee started in with few remarks which in
dicated that general war dance was to fol-
low, but after all the appearances were de-
ceitful, and after few words the whole mat
ter was allowed to drop. Mr.. Lee was not sure
whether the freezing of the hydrants was the
fault of God Almighty or the location OF the
hvdrants and declared it was not possible,
under the present circumstances, to keep
them from freezing. The excavations on
the sides of the street left the hydrants ex-
posed and the wind whistled in under the
sidewalks.
Mr.. Ansel Oppenheim was not
at all convinced that the fire plugs were
in any worse condition now than they had
been in before this season of the year, and
he did not understand this matter unless it
was a kind Of preparatory howl for raising
the rate of insurance, in accordance with in
structions from Mr.. Hall.

Mr.. Cox, of New York, moved that the
house adjourn, his purpose being to prevent
Converse from making motion to suspend
the rules and consider the bill for increasing
the duty on wool.
Mr.. Beach called for the yeas and nays,
which was not ordered, and the vote by tell
ers resulted by 104 to 46 in favor of the adj
journment.
Mr.. Mckinley moved to reconsider the
vote by which the honse refused to order the
yeas and nays, and Mr.. Holman moved to
table that motion. This was agreed to; yeas,
14S; nays, 1876. So the house stood ad-
journed. This cannot be considered a test
vote on Converse's proposition, for such
strong opponents as Blackburn and Hurd
voted against the adjournment.

AT FL Paso, Mexican dollars are worth

received an American dollar in change for
his Mexican. On his return 10 the American

and received Mexican dollar for his Ameri-

during the day and night, he closed up busi-
ness with the Mexican dollar he started with
