THE DAY AFTER.
Some of Those who Celebrated New year
Too Much.

Some of Those Who Celebrated New Year
Too Much.
They went calling Yesterday. Some Of them
called on Judge Kimball, but they evidently
forgot and returned this morning to again pay
their respects. Their reception today was not
a cordial one and some of them will not call
again for several weeks. There was but little
drunkenness yesterday, SO the police say, and
they account for it from the fact that there
was less calling than usual among the lower
classes and also from the fact that there was
less free rum than usual. The result of quiet
day was the appearance of only two dozen per-
sons this morning, and some Of them were nom
residents
In the procession were several Young men
whose good clothes and neat appearance made
1t evident that they were out calling yesterday.
and were unable to make a small deposit and
Keep away from court this morning.
TOO MUCH CALLING.
Robert Makett. young colored man, was in
such an embarrassing situation. He ended his
days calling on Reeves street, where he INDUCED
in so much bad language that Policeman Cleve-
land deprived him of his liberty. Five dollars.
Robert Johnson in tho same predica-
ment. He had been out during the afternoon,
and when he went to It'll street and Pennsylva-
MIA avenue to get his shoes BACKED he got in
trouble. Policeman Hinkel took him in GUS
tody and Judge Kimball gave similar greeting
Mike Lanhady and William Fitzgerald came
next in line, but they had excuse to offer.
| They were in the tolls Yesterday and the judge
excused them. Lanhady promised to keep
sober for a week and Fitzgerald promised to
leave the city before noon. Both men broke
their promises and for that reason they were
ashamed to offer another excuse.
Il thought yesterday" said the judge, that
you would not keep sober for week, talking
to Lanhady.
why did you not go to Baltimore yestcr-
day?" the judge asked Fitzgerald.
The old man could only laugh. He was too
full for uttcrance. and sentence of ninety
days was imposed. There was only a simple
charge of dsorderlv against Lanhndy and he
got of with fifteen days.
CHARLOTTE SMITHS SENTENCE.
Charlotte Smith was also in the procession.
She not the Charlotte Smith who is con-
nected with the work of retaining unfortunate
women. but is colored resident of Fighting

alley last night, and murder was the cry Of
poor Charlotte. Her husband. she claimed,
had ill-treated her and caused her to make the
outcrv. but Policeman Wash Sanford. who ar
rested her, saw no evidence of an assault hav-
ing been committed. Five dollars or fifteen
days.

was arrigned for using profane language
louder than the law permits, and the old man
went down because he could not borrow So.
"You are charged with being suspicious
person." read Deputy Clerk Harper when a
neatly appearing young man answering the
name of Michael Sullivan appeared.

The prisoner was unable to comprehend the
charge and so he preferred not to plead to the
charge.

him.

way to Richmond"

Policeman Flynn. the big officer of No. 2, ar
rested him and the judge taxed him 80 for his
New Year lark
Il cursed and knew it was against the law
said Maggie Lee, a disorderly colored woman
who Is always getting into trouble. Two col
ored men were under arrest and she COM
planned against the officers in such profane
way that she too arrested. She told the
judge that Special Officer Davis struck her be-
cause she cursed him.
That statement played no part in the case be-
fore the court and Maggie went down for a
month.
