Then Joseph McChrystal, seeming to
think that this beautiful September
weather was not hot enough, decided to
make 1t decidedly warmer for bis wife at
least, for which the police called him down
summarily.
Peter Marshall evidently had not had
sufficient vacation, and wanted more, but
he took very poor way to get II. He
acted as what IL commonly termed ga
fence" that is, he received stolen goods
with n view, doubtless, OF converting them
into coin Of the realm and appropriating
IL to his own use, instead OF seeing that
the said goods were returned to ther prop
er owner. For this little irregularity he,
too, was brought into court, and had his
date fixed for the 10th inst, to which time
Joseph aforenamed was put over. Peter
will doubtless get his vacation, hut II
won't be spent In the wildwood or at
Crescent Park.
Then there was another benigbted In
dividual named William Ryan who opened

took out pair OF gloves, two razors,
jackknife and $5 50, somewhat on the idea
that the world was bis oyster, which he
with knife could open, but again The OBJ
durate and finty minions Of the law
stepped In and Ryan languishes behind
the bars. He will be arrAigned later and
probably won't open any more trunks nor
crib any more :cutlery for some time to
come.
