1t was not cloud of witnesses but a

seated themselves down in the seats re-
served for lawyers. Pritchard & Manda

The receiver was in court this morning
to ask for instructions as to the sale of
the stock of orchids he had on hand and
the seven lawyers represented the credi-
tors. Almost all the lawyers, especially
those from New York had to talk on
the slightest provocation and the pro-
ceedingS apparently unnecessarily strung
out. The discussion was as to the best
time to sell the plants and flowers. 1t
was finally decided that the receiver
should continue to sell as much as he
could at private sale and then in Septem-

PRETTY SORT OF JUROR.
Practical Joker Makes AN UnseemIy
Disturbance In Court.

Edward Conger, an exuberant young
man who is on the present panel of
jurors, is practical joker of a very
high order. He succeeded this morning in
creating sensation in court Fortunately
for him, it was in Judge Nevius' Court
and the Judge is very 1enient. If Judge
&ippincott or Judge Hudspeth had been
O. the bench, the funny Mr.. Conger would
probably have found himself behind the
bars in the County Jail until he had
purged himself of contempt
At the opening of court, Conger went up
to Judge Nevius and asked to be excused
Sor the day as he was weary after yes
terdays celebration. The Judge excused
him and Conger Immediately proceeded
to put his practical joking propensities in
operation. He went down among the
ether Jurors and took a seat behind old
Joshua Limerick whose eccentricities have
made him noted in Hebokep. Sitting next
respectable. staid old gentleman. Linz,
erick had brought up with him from
Hobeken the remnants of jag which
was left over from yesterday and Conger
decided to have some run with him. He
twitched the old mans hair, threw paper
balls at him, and stuck pins in him.
Joshua carries with him a cane which he
uses for support or protection as may be
required. After suffering Conger's annoy
ances for several minutes he lost his tenn
per and seizing his cane struck Moore
on the head with it, thinking that is was
Moore who was annoying him.
Judge Nevius witnessed the occurrence,
and called Limerick up to the bar
Limerick was too much under the in
huence of liquor to give an explanation
and the Judge excused him for the re-
nainder of the term. Conger hadn't the
fhanliness to go up TO the Judge and as
