THE MAYOR AND HIS SINNERS.
With the snap and go Of man who
knows his business, Mayor Maurice pre-
sided over the City Court Of Manchester
yesterday morning, and dispensed the
commodity OF the blind goddess, his
eyes opened wide 10 see that all were
fairly dealt with.
The case of Wesley Thomas, which was
continued from Monday was called, ana
when the Mayor had heard the evidence
Thomas was required TO deposit % IN inc
City Treasury and also 10 give bond In
800 for good behavior during the next
thirty days. Thomas was run in on a
warrant issued at the instance OF his
wife, accusing him Of abuse and dis
order. .- rnt.~,.
Two negresses OF the society sort Were
also before his Honor. Caroline and Bet
sey Bowen each made a speech and paid
81. The trouble grew out of neigh
borly quarrel. which grew out OF their
guest eating some grapes which grew or
the back fence.
The two men who were arrested Mon
day as tramps were given orders 10 leave
town.
Mayor Maurice released Mr.. Joseph OPP
pelham. Mrs. Annie Oppelman. and their
son, Philip Oppelman. Monday from the
bail bond recently placed on them TO keep
the peace.
The Oppelmans were twice In court be
cause of a disturbance n which they and
their neighbors, the Spigels, figured rather
unpleasantly. The Mayor required the
bond to insure peace, II not goodwill.
