A MATRIMONIAL AGENCY.
Judge and Lawyers Assisting In the
Good Work.

Prosecuting Attorney Shillington and Mr..
Campbell Darlington were engaged in forming
a matrimonial agency this morning. Their
client was an industrious man named Frank p.
Lacey, and the woman of his choice was Miss
Matte Metcalf, sometimes called Crampsey
Frank is at present enjoying the personal liberty
which is the right of all well-behaved citizens,
but the choice of his heart is a victim of ''hard
luck" and is an unwilling sojourner at the
hotel Stoutenburg on the outskirts OF the city,
for there is u sentence of the Police Court that
detains her there. 1t costs something to get
married, and Frank therefore did not want to
squander his earnings by paving her way out
of her present quarters. He consulted Mr.
Darlington and took out license to wed. Then
Er. Shillington was visited, and he as pros
ecuting officer would not stand in the way, but
to the contrary, he united with Mr.. Darlington
IN his efforts to have the prospective bride re-
leased Judge Miller was next appealed to-
He was unwilling to be a stumbling block to
the happiness of Matte and Frank and ordered
her immediate release

KNIFE OR PISTOL.
Was the Knife Loaded, or Was It q
Pepper Box Revolver.


Yesterday afternoon Judge Miller was called
upon to decide two important questions. The
first was whether or not Special Officer White
(white) drew pistol on Special Officer Green
(colored), and the other question was, what
klEd Of a weapon it was; whether it was an
ordinary revolver or whether it was q "pepper
box"
Green is in the employ Of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, and does duty at the lexington
yard.
When the property was purchased by the
railroad company the fence was torn down and
the wagon road leading toward the electric
road stables was used by the public. The agent
at the Baltimore and Ohio yard recently had
sign boards erected notifying the public not to
trespass on the property.
Special Officer White attempted to drive
through the road and Green called to him to
halt They discussed the question of driving
through and finally Green threatened White
with arrest. Each showed the other his badge.
but no arrest was made. Green charged that
White made threat toward him and drew a
pistol on him.
What kind of pistol was h?" asked the
court. 1T was one of these old pepper
boxes" he replied, Il saw several chambers
In the weapon"
Green's father-in-law was called to cor
roborate him, but when the judge asked him
what kind of a weapon it was he replied, "Just
one of the ordinary revolvers," giving a de-
scription of it.
Was the revolver loaded?" inquired the
court
Yes. sir, !" replied the old man. IT saw the
bullets In il"
''Oh no you didn't" said the Judge. 1.-THE
hrst thing a man does when a weapon is drawn
Is TO shut his eyes and throw up his hands"
The defendant denied the charge and claimed
that he drew knife and pointed il at Green
rs a bluff.
The judge believed his version of the affair
and dismissed the case
