A Couple of Suspecte Fire Bugs Before Hiz-
zDner-Sn Ill Fry Sinners.
Yesterday was gaia day in the police
court The bull pen was crow led with
prisoners as if to make up for the thin ct
tendance during the week, and when hiZ-
zoner got into the pulpit the congregation of
buns aud onlookers craned their necks as IL
something rich was expected.
The most notable case on the docket was
of course that of NJ. Simmons, the Seventh
street Sam'l of Posen furnishing goods man
who was arrested on the charge Of setting fire
TO his stock in order TO procure the insur-
auce, particulars of which appeared in yester-
days issue OF the GLOBE. On being ar
rliLned be pleaded not guilty and the exarnin
alton was cnntinu ID to tAe 10th inst, the
bail being fixed at $50 He is defended
by Messrs. S. L. Pierce and Moritz Helm.
Singular to say the next prisoner was also
charged with arson. IN this case Harry Win
born, gem man of color, was suspected of
having set fire to Mrs. Woods boarding
house ON Cedar street. The hearing was
continued until O'Clock, and at that hour
the prisoner was discharged, the court re
marking that it was about as thin case as
he had seen lately.
The case of Paul Black, a coal-colored
darkey, aud Jennie Arnold, low white wo-
man, would have been funny had
the circumstances not been so
vulgar. Jennie discharged her other
coOred paramour short time
ago, and took Paul as her deputy husband
Friday night they quarTeled, and when the
copper rushed id, attracted By the cries of
biondy murder, he found them pranclng
around en- dishabie. They were iued if
teen bills each ami Jennie paid the scrip,
her dusky lover going TO the bastile for fifteen
DAYS.
the case Of .. D. Curtis, charged with
frcscUing the optic of B rzill, the painter, was
continued 10 the 18th inst, and several free
lunch fisnds were given the rush for
thirty days. Adam and John Kobach, a
brace of bad boys, were charged with steal
ing lead. and they were fined S25 or thirty
days each. Their father put up for John,
and the other boy went out.
Street Sayings.
'As at present arranged" said Manager
Thompson, of the ST. Paul club, lit would
be useless for US to 20 into it. According
to the program We would have to make
longer jumps tnan anv club in the country,
with a prospect of light receipts. The idea
of us playing at Nashville, for instance.is alb
surd. | have rot ten of the best players in
the country ready to sign in case We agree
on anything decent aud with the chance of
making money at 80 per cent. less expense
than last season. But the scheme arranged
at indianapolis is no good"

On being asked what he thought of the
program for the outside league, as proposed
By the association at Indianapolis, ex-Man-
ager Hunter, of the st. Paul league, said;
''The scheme won't 20. In the first place,
it has not the right kind of men back of il;
they have 10 money TO speak of, and nova
DAYS base bali league has got to have the
best of backing Take it on the circuit, and
they propose to have only six clubs play
where twelve played during trip last year.

your money after you reach the ground"
