FROM sHEA'S COURT,
The Affairs of Two Residents venti-
lated i'm Judge Miller's Court.


The case of Mrs. Shea was nolle pressed
in the Police Court this morning. but there
were two echoes Of the case in Judge Mil
lers room. Two women, denizens Of Shea's
court were before the court, one as a prose-
cutting witness and the other as a defend
ant
The first was a misunderstanding white
woman, Bridget Rust. who charged a white
man with assaulting her last July. The
evidence showed, however that the woman
tried to drag the man into her house. but
as she failed in this she relieved his pocket
Of $3.50. The man took the money away
from her, and pushed her off. An effort
was made to find out how many times she
had been sent to the jail or workhouse, but
Bridgets memory was not sufficiently COM
prehensive to take in such a large number.
by name Martha Brookes, and she was
charged with keeping house Of nl-fame
just back of Mr.. and Mrs. Shea's residence,
which was also used as a thoroughfare to
the Shea house and as a general distrtb-
uting point for the beer of the neighborhood-
The testimony was anything but delicate.
and reflected sadly upon the character Of
Martha as a housekeeper and upon the
neghborhood generally. She admitted that
she rented the house from Mrs. Shea, ind
paid 81 a month for 1t. She sublet two
upper rooms to young ladies, and II they
did anything improper 1t was "unbe-
knownst to her.
II took the jury less than q minute to
decide that Sarah knew more than she adj
mitted and find her guilty. Judge Miller
gave her thirty days in Jail. with the re-
mark that in being sent to the work house
before she had had sufficient warning
against living in such a neighborhood and
in such a manner.

NEW YORK. Feb. s.-Speculation this

silver and grain markets than to stock
speculation and believes that stocks must
OF necessity be the last to reflect any per-
manent improvement.

that price cannot stand the ordinary
freight charges and shows practically no
profit to producers.

Should the present schemes for canceling
