POLICE STATIONS FULL.
One Hundred and Sixty-eight Ar
rests Made Yesterday.

Nearly all the police stations were crowd
ed with prisoners last night, and in sew
eral instances 1T was necessary to place
culprits in the dungeons, witness rooms and
dodgers quarters. During the twenty four
Eours commencing at 8 O'Clock Christmas
morning and ending at the same time this
forenoon, the police arrested I6S persons
of every color, condition and nationality.
The crimes charged against this small
regiment of law-viOlators ranged from
the serious offense OF murder 10 the mis-
demeanor of plain drunk. Fourteen of the
prisoners were females, white and colored,
the remainder being males, between the
ages of thirteen and seventy years. By q
strange coincidence, forty-four of the ar
rests were for plain drunk, and forty-four
for drunk and disorderly, the latter Of
tense being punishable by fine of from So
to $40.
The Second precinct, Lieut.. Tecple's, in
the central northwest section, headed the
list of stations with forty-one prisoners
of which eleven Were white; thirty oolored,
eight being women; while thirty-three of
the arrests were due directly to an over
indulgence in Christmas drinks. 1t was
necessary for the "Elack Maria to make
extra trips this morning TO bring all the
prisoners to the police court.

Christmas morning, droppiIs.; in every sa-

Judge Millefs Courtroom Full Of
Fogand Penitence.
Christmas Day RetributiOn Made
Things Very Gloomy, Indeed.
Cases Which We're Heard.

A cheerless sunlight crept sliamefacedly
through the windows OF the halls Of justice
over which Judge Miller has jurisdiction.
A hope in its continuance, however, proved
futile.
The sun withdrew behindits dense screen
of clouds, as il ashamed to associate with
the scene of retribution attached to a
Christmas spree. Lower and lower fell
the cloud Of fog until its penetrating damp
trickled through the creviccs about the
windows and bid defiance to the steam
radiators in the courtroom.
The lever controlling the mechanism Of
the legal mill was pulled back sharply by
the 'OyeZ" OF the bailiff, and the ponderops
wheels of justice began their majestic
revolutions. The cutlery used in domestic
economy fulfills an excellent mission. but

Jacob Thomas, a brutal-looking colorcd
man, assaulted his wife viciOusly yester-
day tearing her clothes off and giving Il
number OF indignant citizens a long chase
before they caught him, after being at
tractcd to the spot by the wife's cries of
murder. Woman-like, however, she refus-
ed to prosecute her husband for assault and
the onl Y charge tha at could be placed against
him was disordcrly conduct.
After several witnesses had testified
against Thomas, and said they ran him a
half-Tnile before he was overtaken, he had
the audacity TO swear he had not run a
block. Judge Kimball drew a long breath
of amazement at this astonishing declar;i-
ton.
II declare" he said TO Thomas; do you
mean to say these witnesses are not tell,
ing the TRUTH
II didn't run a STEP he said dogge:ly.
"And, of course, you didn't hit your
wife," said the judge, sarcastically.
"No"

John Wheeler and his WIFE, Edna,
are guests of the Franklin's during the
holidays. From the mo oment of their
arrival matters were firmly formed on
a friendly basis until yesterday, when
the modest dwelling in Hughes court
became a substitution Of the Cave Of the
W inds.
Wheeler took exception to certain ut
terances of his spouse and proceeded to
show his displeasure in the premises by
performing vigorous massage on her
volumnious rsonality. Her protesta-
tions Indicative of the supposed harmless
ness of her words cut little more than
foot of frozen aqua pura with her sover-
eign master, who continued To lay on the

simultaneously endeavored tp define a
boundary between them with outlines
