Cut the Cabman.

Sylvester Gray. a colored man with two
flesh wounds in his face, was the prose-
cutting witness in the Police Court today in
the case Of man who gave the fictitious
name of Jefferson Jackson. Gray is a cab
man, and Jackson was passenger in his
coach last night. The passenger squander-
ed considerable money for rum, and ac-
cording to his story. he had taken a guam
tity of quinine for the grip. Last night he
hired the colored mans cab, was driven
from place to place, and finally about IL
o'clock he got out of the vehicle in front
of the National Theater and started away
without paying the $1.25 bill Gray follow
ed him a short distance and asked him for
his fare. Instead of getting the money he
got the two knife wounds mentioned and
then the police got the man who used the
knife. So much under the influence of
liquor was he that he failed to realize what
he had done, and even the sight of the
prison bars did not affect him. This MORN
ing when he reached the Police Court his
condition was not much better than it was
last night and all he could say about the
affair was that he had no recollection of it.
Never before in his life had he been ar
rested and Judge Miller fined him $50 for
his conduct, in addition to ordering pay
ment of the cabman's charges.
