Injured Today-Notes.

There was a special meeting Of the AL
dermen called last evening by His Honor,
Mayor Moies, to consider the charges
against Officer Hardness OF the police
force. City Solicitor Bosworth attended
to the matter in behalf o; the city, while
Lawyer James l.. jerks appeared for the
officer.
After hearing Of some length, the
presentation Iof evidence, and a careful
consideration OF the matter, it was de-
cided that while there had been some ser-
rors OF judgement, perhaps, there was
nothing serious enough ,toh.nvolve dis
missal from the force. The officer was
however, reprimanded, and, perhaps Will
be allowed to return to duty later. -.
A.Runaway.
Oluey Wilmarth Of Central street while
out with his tea am this morning on Gen.
tral avenue, Pleasant View, net an elec-
tric car. The car was an open one and
the Tapping of the curtains frightened
the horse, w hich started to one side SO
suddenly that Mr.. wilmarth lost his foot
ing and slipped to the ground. He hurt
his back somewhat, but not seriously,
and drove home, the horse not being in
jured at all. 1t was rumored that the ac-
cIdent was quite severe one, but in
quiry proved this 70 be incorrect.
In the Court.
The Justice Court today was quite busy.
Thomas Murphy, the man who was said
to have tapped the till at the st. German
Hotel on Broad street, got off scot free
because the witness against him failed to
appear. Then Thomas went down on
Central street. Whether he blew in the
money Is not known.
Albert Spaulding SO far forgot what Is
due to womanhood that he committed an
assault on Mrs. 8. 1t was an aggravated
assault too, and worst Of all, he admitted
1t without hesitation. Then the court
didn't hesitate at all in mulcting him In
the sum of ten and costs, about fifteen in
all.
Bernard Coleman, who sold rum with
out the authority OF the license board
first duly obtained, said he was not guilty
and had his case continued to August 9Th
for hearing. He was bonded, like liquor,
for hundred.
Mrs. Barnes, the "English lady" who
figured In court few days ago as the
owner OF "a pair OF earrings that
cost hundred pounds sterling," and who
had made all the arrangements for fu-
neral without waiting for the seemingly
unimportant preliminary OF the death OF
the victim, was up before His Honor again
this morning, having In the meantime
been somehow "bailed out' from her
former sentence OF six months at tho
Farm as a common drunkard. This time
the charge was only simple drunk,
which comes cheaper, but which enriches
the local treasury Of justice more than
that OF the State. Mary Is hummer from
Hummerville, and threatens to shake on
the dust OF Central Falls from her feet.
These latter are not exactly Trilbyesque,
and the police hope that she Will persist
In her Intention.
Held "a Clainbake.
Last evening the members OF Superior
Lodge, /, q. q. F., and the Daughters OF
Rebekah paid visit to the home OF j.
Edward Sibley near the American Ma
chine Co.'s works and enjoyed an excel
lent clamb bake.
The School Cleaning,
Work in cleaning the various school,
houses is now going on preparatory for
the fall term, and In several instances
needed repairs are being made. The new
Washington street school will be opened
for use In Septem ber and will be beauti-
ful and valuable addition to the city's
buildings. The schools on Dexter and
Garfield streets and on Hedly avenue were
greatly overcrowded last year and this
will be all done;away with by the opening
OF the Washington street school.
