THE BURR DOCK.
The Sinners Called to an Accounting
Before His Judgeship
Yesterday,

There was full session of criminals and
spectators at the municipal court this morn
ing, while the programme of entertainment
was as varied as human vice, passion and
folly could spread for the occasion. That
the municipal court till would receive quite
deposit seemed very promising at the out
set, but alas for official anticipations, the
thirty cases shelled out but $40 in cash fines
and an orange blossom episode with neither
cards or cake.
The three sisters DAILY, who had made their
landlord, Mike Corcoran, on lower Seventh
street wish he had never become bloated
bondholder to the extent of having apart
ments to let by their ingenious femenine
and unfemenine accomplishments were ar
raigned and Nellie, the youngest, gave bonds
to keep the peace. But George and Aggie,
who had last week by feigned illness given
the officer the slip, and who had foolishly
made their visit short to White Bear, were
held over until this morning for trial and
were given the best the county Jail afforded
over the night.
The erring subject of the king of Den
mark Jurgen Peterson, who had thought to
pack his carpet bag and flee from wrath to
come, and being suddenly landed in durance
vile by warrant for an arrest for seduction
of the girl from Copenhagen of the same
name, was brought in looking as wilted as a
cabbage plant undermined by cut worm
He had quit a boarding house where his vic
tim was employed as domestic, on account
of poor pastry and weak soup, and he laid all
this fuss to the woman who
ran it, who was mad because
his stomach was so delicate But this argu-
ment did not seem to meet the case in hand.
Peterson VS.. Peterson looked at each other
and both cried a cry in the Danish language,
when Jurgen announced that he would like
Judge Burr to pronounce the marriage rites,
Frank Fairchild dropped his recording stylus,
Aggie and Georgia DAILY acted as brides
maids, Officer Clouse flew his yellow hand
kerchief in imitation Of orange blossoms,
and the town clock struck 10 in the absence
of anything better in the line of wedding
bells
Henry M. T. Davis, one Of the old pioneer
residents of st. Paul, living for several years
past at Dulnth, came down on a train Satur-
day evening to see his old home and have a
chat with the old boys who had been spared
by the sickle of Father Time, and who had
not gone down to the Democratic convention
at Chicago. Happily musing over the good
time he WAS to have, and thinking of the
pleasant scenes of yore as he was going up
Minnesota street at about II o'clock in the
evening, he was suddenly pitched upon by a
villain named W. Ryan, who, with one hand
rifed his vest pocket Of a watch and with the
other appropriated $50 in gold, 50
bill and change in his pants peck
ct amounting in all to s33. O2, and made his
escape. The police were notified and soon
after captured this bold Robin Hood outlaw
who will be picked for penitentiary preser-
walton by the court this morning.
Louis Trip, a mortar artist, kicked fell
low workman so severely that he has been
laid up for several weeks. He claimed that
his victim came at him with an elevated hoe
and that he crushed him with his boots in
self-defence. The judge advised the com
plant to commence a civil action for DANA
ges and dismissed the criminal complaint.
w. Sands was arraigned for assault and
battery and paid S. fine. Sands was riding
out on the glorious Fourth, when the small
boy fiend bombarded him with frecrackers,
yelling in wild glee at the terror Of his fran
tic equine, whereupon Sands alighted, tied
his steed to fence and with his whip gave
the juvenile back genuine Tewksbury tan
John Reyon and Louisa Clark, for Mime
apolis antics on Eagle street, were given
thirty days apiece at the workbouse and
house Of the Good sheperd.
Thomas Burns, raging son Of the forge
with volcanic sinews on his brawny right
arm, was iugged in the workhouse for twenty
days, that his Dugan Bros. shop mates might
have that period Of peace while hammering
the red-hot iron.
Mrs. Grump was not as bad off as old
Mother Hubbard, for she had plenty Of beef
bones and meat for her dog, but he was new
ertheless csnnibal in his tastes and was
bound to chew up the whole neighborhOOd.
Her case was dismissed On the promise to
have this bowler shot before the sun dipped
again behind the far western plains.
l. Conway, his fathers bad boy, was sent
to the reform school for the full term of sixty
days; May Bradley was ordered to bleach her
countenaDce in the gloom Of the county Jail
for thirty days for drunkenness, and her
chum, Maggie .Mofat, struck it hot again for
thirty DAYS in the house OF the good shep-
herd; while J. G. Young timber drunk,
passed in from wallet Of sufficient age
and dilapidation to have come over in the
Mayfower with the pilgrims.
T. Stengler and Ernest Voss, for topping
out their national holiday with an unhealthy
stock Of fire water, were sent up each for
five days, and A. Lind and Max Ludke will
not tenderly tap at kitchen doors for cold
bits for the space Of ten days to come.
w. Mcintosh and Z. D. Harlong, on whose
cheeks the lava Of alcohol had left Vesuyius
streaks and lines, were given twenty and
