Crossed the Deep Blue Sea.
Attorney II. l.. Taylor appeared In
favor of joseph Cassese in a bail for
feiture case. Frank Bruner, who was a
special constable in Throop borough
became too free with his revolver, and
as result he was brought before the
court and found guilty of aggravated
assault and battery Mr.. Cassese was
surety for Bruner in the sum of 81, 800,
but the latter left for across the deep
blue sea before sentence was imposed
on him. Attorney Taylor argued to
strike off the forfeiture and County
solicitor III. A. Knapp and Attorney Il.
Z. Newcomb opposed the rule.
Michael Matewicz is another foreign
er who played the same trick on his
bondsman, and an argument to strike
off the forfeiture was heard. Court ad-
journed at noon.
Prosecution Malicious. 'Tis Said.
A trespass suit alleging damages in
the sum of $4,000 was begun yesterday
in court by Alvin Thomas against A. J.
Timlin. Attorneys Hulslander & Vos-
burg represent the plaintiff.
Thomas swears that he has always
been good and honest citizen of this
commonwealth and has never been
guilty of larceny, but that notwith-
standing all this the defendant on
April 23 last went before Alderman l..
N. Roberts, of the Second ward, and
caused a warrant to be issued, charg-
ing the plaintiff with having committed
a theft of $500.
The warrant was served on Thomas
the day after it was issued and he was
brought before Alderman Roberts, who
discharged him after hearing the
charges against him. BY virtue of this
arrest, which Mr.. Thomas claims was
actuated solely by malice, he claims
dmages in the sum of $1,000 and says he
has been damaged to that extent in the
good opinion of the neighbors and in his
reputation as an honest man.
Two Children Adopted.
Two decress in adoption were handed
down yesterday by Judge Archibald.
w. * Harris, a colored resident of the
chill" was intrusted with the care of
Mary e, the young daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Hall, colored. The
child will assume the name of Mary r.
Harris and will possess and enjoy the
same rights as If she We're Harris nat
ural child. Several prominent persons
deposed that Harris is well known to
them and Is a careful and temperate
man. He and his wife are SO years of
age and hive no children.
In the other case Thomas w. Jones,
of Thirteenth street, West Side, was
ganted a decree and has become enti-
tied to adopt Blanche Annie, 10-year-
old daughter of James e. Thayer,
whose wife, Jennie, died on Oct. TO- 1894.
The child has since lived with Thomas,
who owns three houses on the West
Side.
Important Arguments Tomorrow.
Besides the arguments for a new trial
in the Boschino homicide case which
will be made tomorrow, something i'm
portant will be the argument which
will also be heard in the case OF the
commonwealth against Hershell II.
Hollister.
A rule was granted to show cause
why a capias should not be granted for
the arrest of Hollister and his return to
the Eastern penitentiary. 1t will be re-
membered tat Hollister was sentenced
to the penitentiary, but was allowed
his liberty on bail pending decision
on his case by the Supreme court.
The new trial was refused and he
went to prison, but he was freed be-
fore serving sentence. The prison au-
time of his sentence and not from the
date of his Incarceration. District At

monwealth. and Attorneys Ward and
