How the City Finances Stand-Band
Concert Tonight-Notes,

This morning, for some unaccodntable
reason, there was a large, though not spe-
cially clean or enthusiastic, gathering In
the court room when His Honor took his
seat, A quartette OF jewellers from Cum.
berland, four of a kind, made quite q
strong hand, but the judge held better
one and took the pot to the tune OF two
and costs each, s1S.4O In all, quite a snug
little winning.
One simple drunk from this city tried to
plead In extenuation that she got dizzy
looking at Edison's electric balloon, and
endeavoring to distinguish between 1t
and Venus, but the judge said Utica was
too far off, and Cranston would answer In
the case and it had to. This woman
while confined In her cell, drank whole
bottle of Jamaica ginger and sent out for
snother, which the chief refused to let
her have. Then the poor devil, who stole
watch "and other things" from his room
mate, way back in August, '93, had Il
trial. 1t seems that larceny, like wine,
viii keep without loss of strength, for the
larcenist got months In the Providence
County jail.
Two more experimenters undertook to
trouble thereby, and had their cases con-
tinued for trial TO the 18th inst. This
ended the list, but it remained SO hard at
the time Of adjournment, that most of
the parties involved wanted to wait q few
moments before going out into a damp
and cruel world, and there was quite q
consequences.

pearance at the station one night last
week; as he was apparently lost Officer
