CITY COURT CASES.


 Mrs Mary Mclaughlin has Recovered and the Chances are Favorable for
 Patrick Mooney.
 Dr Hayes testified in regard to the con- Glition of Patrick Mooney this morning. He did not anticipate favorable results. The lung doesn't show the evidence of clearing up as it would in a younger person. The process of recovery is very slow and there is still danger. He is better to-day however than a week ago. Prosecuting Att torney Webster asked to have the case con- tinued under the same bonds. Attorney Oarmody asked f0r a reduction as the mans condition was more favorable.
 Judge Cowell said he would adjourn it for a week under the same bonds but if his condition was improved by next week he would make the bond lower.
 Dr Goodenough said that Mrs McLsugh- lin was improving rapidly. The ribs had commenced to kint and she will recover, al- though she never wilt be as well as before There is no evidence of pneumonia and now no reason for a continuance of the case. The women herself would not be able to come out. Prosecutor Webster said he had witnesses who saw the assault and he asked to have the case set down for trial Monday. It was so ordered.
 John Moran came from the box to ex- plain why he got drunk yesterday. He moved too slowly and Judge Cowell shouted: "Get gait on you and get up here" John got gait on and then leaned the judge. "Go swayl Your breath smells bad You've been drinking bad whiskey," 1" exclaimed Judge Cowell. This made even the prisoner smile. He was on his way to Lowell and had lived near Southington and knew to a yard the distance from where he lived to Kehoe's hotel in Cheshire. Judge Oowell told him to get out of town immediately and Moran got.
 Mary Degnan, 16 years of age. was charged with assault on Mary E. Gillig, the same age. The latter said that on her way home from the store last Saturday night the Degnan girl slapped her in the face and tore her dress. A boy who saw the scrimmage said that the Gillig girl had called the Degnan girl cbippy. The as- sault took place on Wall street. It came out that the Degnan girl had threatened to do it again. Attorney Lowe. who de- tended her, said that both ought to be sent to church. Judge Cowell fined the girl $3 without costs.
 David and Daniel Altman were charged with assault on Hugh Flaherty. The lat ter said he was going to work with Ed Kelly last Thursday noon. When at the corner of Pemberton and Pleasant streets, Dan Altman drove up in a team and jumping out confronted him saying: ''Do I owe you anything" ?" "Yes you do." re: piled Flaherty. At that Dan struck him. Flaherty tried to get away from him, but Dan followed him up and struck him whenever he could. When they got into Pleasant street Dan seized Flaherty and called to his brother Dave who cartae out from his barn near by, and while Dan held Flaherty. Dave punched him. Attor: ney Lowe, who defended the Allmans; said the boys were hard workers, always paid their bills and it was only technical assault Flaherty, he said, had gone around the saloons on the Abrigador tell. ing what dead beats the Allmans were They were aggravated and did hit Fla herty. Prosecutor Webster took excep. tion to the Allmsns always paying theip | bills. there was a judgment against then now for $150. Bring 1t in and 1 will pay it, said Judge Lowe, but first let us settle | up this criminal business. Judge Cowel | doubted the integrity of the Allmans. fol he said he knew the time when one ot them escaped from paying his bills be | cause he was a minor. He fined each $2; and costs. An appeal was taken.
