Neither officials or prisoners seemed anx-
tous to put In any more time than was abso-
lutely necessary at the municipal court yes
terday morning, while the bench devoted to
spectators were as empty as Tara's halls of
joy. The liability that Forepaugh might get
by with his elephants, camels, chariots and
multitudes of four and two footed beasts and
birds and other creeping things seemed to
have drawn up the nerves of all to high cat
gut tension, and the noise of the hawking
of the peddlars of beets,
cabbages, eggs, poultry, etc.
beneath the windows of the hall of justice,
after being taken for the first surge of popular
excitement and enthusiasm at the appear
once of the sappers ana miners of the big
circus kept everything up to the high water
mark of suspense.
Mrs. ellison who rents an upstairs .ene-
ment of Emma Monay, having called down
upon her head some neighborly gossip con-
corning herself and kids, took occasion to
give Emma piece of her
mind in language more forcible
in invectiyes than polite in phrase. Emma
retaliated by getting out warrant for the
tough talker for disorderly conduct, and the
court saw its best road out of the bushes by
placing her under bonds to keep the peace.
T. Neeser, the agriculturist on Dayton's
bluff, who opened the harvest too early by
threshing his wife on Friday night, and
whose brutality the poor woman tried to hide
on the witness stand, was tied up with bonda.-
to keep his hands and feet from further mar
tial violence.
M. Mulcarroll, who appropriated out of the
| wealth of this metropolis few feet of boards
designed to rot in sewer building, to ''keep
| the wind away from burglarzing his health
in his lowly cabin near the Mississippi street
bridge, was assessed $40 which by the aid of
hard working and kind hearted sister he
was able to liquidate.
Jos. Vasper, of Teutonic extraction, who
had as hard work to manage the English
language as buzz saw knotty plank, came
up to answer for having made very improper
proposals to a lady of color who rented an
apartment in his house. He tried
| hard to convince his honor that
he was somnambu listic in his makeup was
trying to break up rats nest in the office,
and that he got across the threshold of Di-

self,'' but it was no go,and he was cautioned
hereafter to stay nearer the foundations of
his domicile and never mind the shingles
on his roof, and put under bonds to impress
the advice upon his cerebrum.
P. Felderman, of Rose township, had his
case for disorderly conduct continued until
Tuesday. He aud another farmer got into
controversy as to the best method of loading
fat upon swine, and because the other farm
er couldn't see it his way and was doubtful
as to its philosophy, tried to drive his argu-
ment into him with a hoe.
J. Linhurst, little kid hardly out of his
frocks and bib was brought in on complaint
of father whose child had been hit by this
baby rough with piece of rock. His honor
said this action was too thoroughly on the
trundle-bed pattern to consume the time of
the court on circus day particularly, and at
once let out school In this action.

and E, Dupois. For whole week they had
deserted the feather beds Of home to sleep
out in barns, lumber yards and in the shad-
ow of topping fences to be on
hand when the ring poles Of Forepaugh
were slid over the Wabashaw
street bridge. The charge to which they
were called to answer was 'vagrancy," and

If they had hired Market hall, and charged
fifty cents admittance at the door, there
would have been no crime in it, no matter
who had been knocked senseless and bleed

With the same facility that the English
sparrow puts in an appearance via ocean
steamship in the American towns and cities
on the Atlantic coast, and thence takes a
free ride even to the Pacific coast, just so
mysteriously and silently the modern tramp
gets himself about. Therefore it occasioned
not the slightest surprise when Limpsey
Couch, from Natchez; Dandy Sullivan, from
Denver; Jumping Martin, from Quebec, and
jamie Myers, from New York, were ordered
to stand up in motley row on the charge of
vagrancy. It was neither surprising that
they all claimed to be the unfortunate mem
bers OF the circus troupe, ana all Oh them
tumblers. In fact, their evident
hard toll in this direction could not be gain
sayed. 1t was as prominent on their features
as cancer on the blooming check of beauty,
the ravages of the canker worm on the bosom
of an agricultural district, an evenings call
of boar frost on field of tobacco, the fire
of yellow jaundice in the eye of a Georgia
mule. 1t seemed pity to detain the troupe
to help to eat up st. Paul workhouse soup
and potatoes, and they were told by his
honor to Sire them from the city, when

steal under the canvas for peep at the ele-
plant slanderousy reported to be Japanned
