ened the yellow waters OF the canal, she
left the scow ana went ashore.
The first saloon she reached having a
private entrance, she entered, and seating
herself at u table, began ordering straight
whiskeys, first carefully counting lot
OF small change kuotted in one end of ler
handkerchief -r-r-=
The waiter. who would have brought her
vitriol cocktail if she had ordered 1t, was
kept on the run by Annie. He saw port
wine-faced woman, stout and frOwsy, TAX
ing enormous drinks and keeping as silent
as a mute. --ftt..t
His surprise was 6 reat as he was return
ing with the tenth whisky to see the quiet
customer endeavoring to climb OH the tai BILE,
feat she accomplished after breaking
the castors and smashing several glasses.
In answer to the walters request that
she resume her seat Annie shook out her
skirts and aimed kick at his head, yell
Ing like mad woman and bringing every
body in the bar around her.
No persuasion could quiet her. She was
bowling, crazy drunk, and was finally
carted to the station-house, where she
kept the Officers awake all night with
her screams.
A PENITENT WOMAN
She was penitent and sick as Kendig
escorted her to the rail, under the stern
gaze OF his honor.
Are you a married woman" inquired
the court.
II am, SIR" said Annie
ANY children?"
'Yes, sir,' she answered, biting lcr
lip.
She asked the Judge please to let her
20 as the canal-boa left this evening, and
her husband and children would not be able
to account for her absence.
You ought 10 he thoroughly ashamed of
yourself" said the Judge; "a mother and
wife, debauchinE herself. You got drunk
most deliberately"
Annie's taste of city life evidently did not
agree with her forshe moistened her parched
lips with her tongue as If she had taken
some unpleasant medicine.
II am not soingto trust you 10y yourself" :"
continued the judge. Il am going to send
for Your husband and let him take you
home"
Later in the Cay he came nd Annie was
released.
LOST THE TWO CASES.
Policemen Brady and vermillion had two
cases of vagrancy, and they lost both of
them, for Judge Kimbali very Justly dis
missed the defenda Dts.
Brady's arrest was made because he dis
covered two colored boys, Fred Butler
and Garfield Osborn, In a stable drunk,
according to his testimony.
When the prisoners told the Judge they
worked In the stable, and were in the
habit OF sleeping there, he released them at
once.
Vermillion said Francis Tibbins Joseph
Davis and Wesley Ford, colored were in
the habit OF hanging around Navy place
There was nothing but hearsay evidence
adduced against the trio and the Judge
dismissed the case.
Charles Anderson, the clever crook, who
came here 10 relieve by subtle means
some Christian Endeavorers of their
money, was tried as a suspicious char
acter. Anderson was arrested by Pre-
cinct Detective Hartigan at the Baltimore
and Ohio last Friday.
His lawyer. Mr.. Campbell Darlington,
entered plea OF guilty, and the court
said the defendant must furnish 5000
bonds or go down for three months.
Anderson will very likely give a surety
to leave the city. When he was arrested
he Offered Hartigan a $50 bill If be
would release him.

"BUCKET SHOP" CASES.
Prosecution Dropped by Order of tn
District Attorney.

IFosecution dropped Dy Oruer OF the
District Attorney
The cases against keepers OF bucket
shops" which were taken by the govern
ment about year ago, with the hope that
such concerns could be driven out of the
city, have practically been abandoned.
A test was made some time ago by
the trial of Daniel Il. Ferry on the charge
technically of setting up a gaming de-
vice, based on the fact that he did a
stock brokers' business by what is known
as the bucket shop method. After a
full hearing the jury refused to convict
upon the law and the facts.
As there seemed no prospect of doing
better in the other cases, an order was
made on Monday to nolpros the charges
against Mr.. Ferry and Mr.. Samuel C.
Heald, jr. 1t is not probable that any
thing will be done with the other places
run on the same plan.
