A Quarrel Between NeighbOrs i'm
 Which Judge COwella Says Both Prin-
 cipaIs and all the itnesses sheuld
 Be Jailed.
 In the police court this morning Annie Powers of Union street and her fourteen year old son. John, were each charged with breach of the peace and abusive language. Mrs Annie Flynn was the complainant and the amount of swearing which occurred between the defendent and the plaintiff and Mrs Kate Rick of Drayer avenue, who appeared as a witness, was astonishing and puzzled the court, so that he looked con- fused and it was plain that he did not know which to believe. The accused and the accuser live at 21 Union street. Mrs Flynn swore that her neighbor, Mrs Powers made practice of calling her out of her name and yesterday afternoon followed her into her room and grieviously insulted her. All this and good deal more was corroborated by the testimony of Mrs Rick. who was visiting in that vicinity at the time.
 Young Powers, Mrs Flynn said, was a nuisance about the yard. He beat her children and threw stones through her | windows and in other ways made matters | unpleasant for her.
 Mrs Powers denied all this and testified | that Mrs Flynn made practice of abusing her and that whatever trouble there has | been about the place was all due the bad temper of Mrs Flynn. The boy Powers also stated that Mrs Flynn's children bothered him and said that any time he in- terfered with the young Flynns it was when they began on him first. Judge Cowell could not make head nor tail out of the s'ory, and finally called l Officer Brickel to the stand and asked if him if the witness, Mrs Rick, was a truth | full woman.
 ''I don't know how truthful she is" said the officer, "but I do know that she has been arrested several times. l At this the court cast glance around the room and remarked: "I believe the only proper thing for me to do is to send the whole crowd to jail, witnesses and all.''
 Each woman claimed that the other had been ordered out, but no one could tell which and in order to get at the facts the case was adjourned for a week. John Sullivan was sentenced to thirty days and costs for drunkenness and Fred Kilhem had sentence suspended for simi' lar offense.
 | William Miller was sentenced to thirty days and costs for drunkenness and three months in jail for receiving money under false pretenses Miller went into the resi- dence of Emil Floring. 49 Summer street yesterday and told Mrs Floring that he had secured job in the same shop with her husband and that MT Floring had de- cided to purchase feather bed from him provided she was satisfied. All his goods were at the depot, he said, and he wanted g to pay for the freight. When Nil Floring came home he was surprised al the story. and went out on g still hunt for the fellow and found him or Grand street and turned him over tC Officer Brickel.
