POLICE COURT.
A Tough Resort Meadow Street
 Raided Last Night.

A Tough Resort on Meadow Street
 Raided Last Night.
 For some time complaints have been sent to the police that there was house of designation on Meadow street. The officers watched on several occasions and sufficient proof being found that such was the case it was determined last night to raid the house, No 309 Meadow street. The officers surrounded the place and first watched and listened through the windows. They heard and saw enough to convince them that the parties within were violating the law. About 1 o'clock they effected an en- trance and arrested Annie Ormsby, the keeper of the house, ,and Josie Ouimette, a frequenter of the place. Two young men who were present were also ar rested, but they had their cases nolled this morning. Six or eight officers testified against the prisoners this morn ing. The women employed no lawyer but spoke for themselves. The Ormsby woman denied the charge and in d tragic tone shouted that the stories of the police were untrue and absolute falsehoods. The Ouimette woman also denied the charges and said she was old enough to take, care of herself and it was no ones busino ss if she did go to the house at all hours of the night. Judge Bradstreet fined Annie Ormsby $100 and costs and the Ouimette woman $50 and costs.
 Annie Ormsby was then charged with selling liquor without a license. She denied the charge and claimed that she kept restaurant and her boarders brought in the liquor and beer found by the officers. Officer Healey testified that he saw the woman sell the beer and get twenty-five cents round for it be- fore the officers entered the house last night. The woman was fined $25 and costs.
 John Carney was fined $5 without costs for drunkenn ess.
 A young married woman, who is we'll known to the police, was charged with drunkenness. It being her first appear ance before the court she was allowed to go.

RENTING AN OLD QUESTION. Brooklyn Residents Want South Leonard Street Extended Across the River.

A petition was presented to the board of selectmen this morning asking for a special town meeting within twenty days to consider the advisability of ex- tending South Leonard street. The petition calls for the extension of the street southerly to the arch of the New York & New England railroad and then easterly across the Naugatuck river to the turnpike. The petition is signed by forty of Brooklyn's largest taxpayers. In 1885 the abutments now standing Tn the river, where it is pro- posed to make the crossing, were built, but at a special town meeting the selectmen were ordered to discontinue the work as the expense was greater than the benefits to be de- rived. A petition was recently sent to the county commissioners asking them to compel the selectmen to continue the work. The commissioners declined to interfere. A suit is now pending in the superior court brought by some of the residents in that district against the selectmen. At the special meeting will also be considered the extension of Ash, Wood and Quarry streets.

A piece of work fell into vat of muriatic acid and the acid splashed up into Smiths face. Luckily he stood sideways or else his sight would have been injured. His left arm was also badly burned from the spattering acid. With a cry of pain Smith ran towards large tub which was nearly filled with water and plunged into it. The other workmen ran to his assistance and, seizing hose, they played a stream on him.

An Autopsy Reveals Traces of Poison Tn
 Her St0machs

An Autopsy Reveals Traces of Poison In
 Her Stomach4
 Medical Examiner Axtelle has about concluded his examination into the death of Katie Sheriden, who died at The hospital yesterday morning, shortly after her removal to that institution. the case seemed mysterious but Dr Ak telle says there was no foul play or mal- practice. S
 This morning a post mortem examina- tion of the body was made at the hospi- tai, Drs Anderson and Castle assisting Dr Axtelle. The examination revealed nothing of a criminal nature, thus doing away with theory which had been in circulation. There was evidence, how ever, that the woman had taken poison, probably arsenic. This afternoon an analysis of the stomach will be made. Dr Axtelle finds it unnecessary to call \ in the coroner and has given permission for the burial of the body.
