IN the POLICE COURT.
Justice Burroughs Disposes OF &
Small Docket Yesterdny

His Honor-elect, Justice Tomlin, failed
TO put in an appearance at the Police
Court yesterday morning and Justice
Burroughs again presided.
One of the most unusual cases that
has come up before His Honor for some
time was that of Ida Fleury. a colored
woman. charged by Bette Hawks with
using language calculated to provoke A
breach of the peace. IN violation of a new
act approved March |. 1896, chapter 1872
acts 1S95-96 Justice Burroughs fined the
prisoner So and costs.
Mary Glasgow was fined 81 and costs
The charge against her was; nuisance.
but 1t might better have been assault
and battery, for when Officer Ludy ar
rested her on Avon street she came near
doing him up before he got her to the
station house, where it required two men
to put her In cell Among other dam
ages traceable TO her was torn cravat
for Ludy and 4 punch in the stomach
for Turnkey Griffin
John O'Connor, an eight-year-oldw white
boy, was arraigned on the charge OF
stealing fruit and other stuff from con-
fectionery stands on the street. He was
allowed to go with warning that he will
doubtless remember.
The following minor cases were dis
posed of:
Jack Fogarty. white, drunk. dismissed.
William Johnson, colored, assault, fined
2.50 and costs.
John Morgan, George Sheldon, white,
drunk, fined 81 and COSTS
Wilson Butts, colored, breach of the
peace, dismissed.
W. G. Koner, white. trezpass. dis

Ing serious complications. The efforts
made by me in both personal and off,
cial capacity to maintain the status quo
and preserve peace and harmony have
been without avail. The olive branch
that nave time and again extended has
been as often refused. In view OF all
these facts and others the conclusion is
inevitable shat the iptruders upon our
domain intend by systematic attacks
upon the Bay Line to demoralize It's rev.
cnue and snfliot on 1t all the injury posi-
BILE 10 break Ii down or drive 1t from the
sea. Such result would prove not less
disastrous TO the public than to every
railway and steamship line doing busi-
ness with 3t.
The Southern in forcing this fight
must be held solely responsible for the
disIocat!on and disruption of business
relations, the acrimonious warfare and
Generalization of rates that sooner or
later must ensue. The Bay Line cannot
supinely fold It's hands and acquIesce
in the destruction of KS property, the
estrangement of its business. tine diver
sion of its traffic and the deterioration of
its stock. Self-preservaltton is the first
law OF nature. and public opinion North

Policing of the 9th and 9th Wards.

The new Police Board held its first

otherwise. for no notice OF q meeting
had been sent out.
The chief matter considered was the
question regarding the policing of At

IN this connection the following resolu-
ton. offered by Mr.. Johnston, was
carried:
That 1t is the sentiment of the Board
mat parties recommended by the Local
ooards or Improvement of Brambieton
ana Atlantic Wards, If appointed by
this Police Board as policemen for said
wards. shall be paid out of the funds
controlled exclusively by these wards,
this being our understanding and con-
struction of the act of annexation bear
Ing upon the appointments OF the wards
respectively; and further. that is 1t the
understanding and the determination
or this Board that these policemen SO
appointed for Brambleton and Atlantic
City Wards. respectively, shall be and
are under the direct control of this po-
lice Board and the police department
of the city Of Norfolk.
1t was moved that q communication
be sent the Brambleton and Atlantic
City Local Boards asking them to re-
commend three officers apiece for APP
pointment to duty in their respective
wards.
This was the only business of public
nature transacted. 1t is expected that
