In the Borough Court-That Refuse
Matter on Hall Avenue-Death of an
Aged Citizen-Baseball This After
nOon-General News.
Yesterday was dark day in the borough
court. The first business was the decision
on the case of Lizzie Clifford, colored.
Judge Hubbard stated that he was satisfied
that the girl was guilty of the theft and
ought to be sent to the industrial school,
but as she was the only helper her father
had got to care for his home and family he
would in this case impose fine of
So and costs. The father settled.
The next case was that of W. q. Smith,
colored, better known as Ebony" who
was charged with assault upon Grace
Warmsley, and fornication. Tony is the
assistant bass drummer in the National
band, that is, he assists to carry the big
drum. Thursday evening after the band
concert William got fair-sized "jag" on
and went home and found gathering of
colored folks at his house and at once the
war began. He insisted on clearing
out the house, with the exception
of Miss Warmsley, whom he desired to
stay, buuthat young female preferred to cast
her lot with Ben Tony's hopeful son, there
by arousing Tony's ire, who forgot her sex
} for the time and dealt her blow between
the eyes which, on an ordinary face, would
have resulted in one or more black eyes,
but owing to the fact that Miss Warns
ley's skin is rather inclined to
the sable hue, failed to show
up very prominent. Ben, the undutiful son,
| do RI 10 QftOr-
ney, and as result the parent was brought
into the presence of Judge Hubbard. The
evidence presented was peculiar and wat
! more than sufficient to warrant convic
' ton, and fine of So and costs on the frs
b charge and 81 and costs on the latter wal
!, imposed. Tony now threatens to have hi
I son Ben arrested on similar charges.
