ball players to the upper courtroom.
In the court room the proceedings were
very slow, and il was one of the occasions
when all the prisoners seemed disinclined
TO exert themselves in a struggle for lib
erty.
Tie ore feature OF the routine was tile
| severe retuke given j. K. Rabbit, an agent
of the Humane Society, by Judge Kimball.
Rabbit. who is employed 10y that organi-
~ lion, is supposed TO earn his salary in
| seeing ihat dumb brutes are not cruelty
treated by their masters; yet he himself
was yesterday Indirectly responsible for
the tort ire that poor old, miserable horse
endured for eight hours. in starding litched
to q heavy cart in frCLt Of the Twelfth
street station.
| The driver of tie team. Samuel Arm
| strong, "a Young colored boy, was arrested
| by Rabbit at 10 O'Clock in the morning,
+, Rabbitt claiming that the horse was suf-
ferilg from n sore back. The boy was
not locked up, because his father was the
owner Of the animal
Today in court the father, Isaac ARM
strong. appeared and said that the horse
WIS no; apacitated for work and that
the sore was rapidly bealing.
Rabbit, In his testimony, was very care
ful to avoid any mention OF his treatment
of the horse, until his horror, who had
been provided with the information printed
in the morning papers, asked him why he
kept the horse standing in the hot sun.
Rabbit disavowed the fact, and wcnid
have escaped without censure had it not
been for the testimony of the boy
Judge" said the boy. she kept that
horse hi.ched to heavy cart from 10
o. clock in the morning until at night,
when lie let me take him home"
Judge Kimball regarded the agent dis
approvDgly. 1T seems TO me- his honor
said, THAT was an act of cruelty"
I've got nothing to do with it, said
Rabbit. carelessly.
We'll, you ought to have" returned the
court, sharply.
al asked him to lock me up, and let the
horse go iiome,' said the boy.
"I couldn't stand around the station
house all day looking out for the horse"
said Rabbit.
Judge Kirnball said it was bad system,
and dismissed the case.

to punish John Henson, colored- He swore
out two inrormations against him-one foi
profanity and the other for loud and bolster
Gus talking
The policeman made this statement to the
court: II arrested him on Thirteenth street
southeast for swearing; then l found out

Policeman E. R. Martin is one OF the in
telligeIt individuals recently selected by the
Commissioners to eXecute the laws in WASH
ingtop. He made his maiden arrest last
night. The victim-for itdeveloped that the
prisoner was q victim-to the stupidity OF
the policeman was charged with disorderly
conduct.
On tile stand Martin acted rather strange
ly--so much so the judge noticed it. He
faltered in telling his story, and jumoled
his words meaninglessly. He said the
prisoner, Benjamin Brooks, was sitting
in the park with two other boys.
"They all had their heads together" he
remarked.
Proceed, SIR said the judge, with
considerable asperity.
.'And 1 heard loud talking" continued
the officer.

the Judge.
"I couldn't say positively"
