They Have Everything to ThemseIve,
and Make BiG Racket.
This was particularly women's dav al
the Municipal Court There were women
as, defendants, women as accusers.
women as witnesses and women as spec.
tators. The most amusing case was that
of Mary Gabriel, who was charged by
Lettia Dougherty with assaulting her by
striking her in the face. Mrs.
Dougherty was tenant Of Mrs Gabriels
father, and vas in the act of taking a
moonlight fitting" when Mrs. Gabriel
caught on to the racket, and as one of
the witnesses testified, woman 8
qusnrel" followed. None Of the witnesses
saw any blows struck, although the
liberal use of billiagsgate was enough to
try the temper of the angel Gabriel had
he been there. Judge Ball dismissed it as
'woman's quarrel" The case of Mary
Miller, who had been involved in
another 'swoman's quarrel, was con
tinued until Friday morning for the
production Of witnesses.
Thomas Grady and Michael Grany were
charged by Simeon Cronan. with using
abusive language toward him. This was
strictly speaking another woman 8
quarrel, as the row was begun and
ended by Kate Grady and Mrs Cronan
Michael Grady was held in 5000 bail to
keep the peace for threatening Cronan
and Thomas Grady was discharged
Maggie Clarke was another woman
who had taken too much drink and was
found by Sergeant Chambers on King

tion. She was fined SO and costs.
Elias Jones. colored, was arrested by
Sergeant Chambers for losfng on ''the
coast" last evening Judge Ball inquired
of Chief Blackburn if he had given
general orders to have all corner loungers
arrested. The chief replied that definite
orders had not yet been given, but they
were being contemplated. A fine of 81
and costs was imposed. August Cornog,
charged with drunkenness was dis
charged. Alfred McCauslsnd, drunk, ST.
and costs.
The funniest case heard was that o4
Pasqua Nomblske, an Italian, charged
with disorderly conduct There was q
woman in this case also, but as none OF
the parties spoke English and Officer
DeMsre could not get time to interpret a
little of what was said, her Relationship
with the case was not made very clear.
One thing was established, and that was
that Nomblake was disorderly, and for
such he was fined SO and costs, with al
alternative of twenty days at hard labor
During the trial there was a perfect
babel of Italian voices that defied sup
preston. aud which caused Officer
DeMare to shake his clinched fist and
strike the railing with violence to pro
duce quiet William E. Mitchell, drunk
was faed 81 and costs; Edward Mulvey
who was fined on Saturday. was agar
fned So or twenty days, for drunkenness
this morning.

These, when used for curtains and por-
