THE WOOL OF THE FATEs.
What the Three Sisters on Saturday
and Sunday Spun for Justice John.

The visitors who on Saturday and
Sunday by their conduct got themselves
into trouble were before Justice John
yesterday morning, and received their
duo portion of justice.
Robert Jeter (colored) was charged
with stealing an overcoat from Abe
Frsinberg, and was sent down TO jail
for thirty days.
In the case of Thomas Gravely (col-
oreO. charged with beating Clara Jeter,
the accused was fined $40. Thomas
Gravely said he Just "smacked hur," and
Justice John said gravely, just so.
Monk" Armstrong was up for steal
ing five bushels Of coal from the Chesa-
peake and Ohio road, and was sent
down for ninety days. "Monk" also re-
sisted the police in their attempt to
arrest him, and was assessed the
modest sum of SO.
Eddie Watkins (colored) was sent TO
the grand jury. Edward, the Black, was
charged with entering Caboose No. 556
OF the Chesapeake and Ohio road, with
intent TO commit larceny.
Oscar Howard, small white boy
was charged with refusing to move
on" when ordered by the police, and was
fined $3.50. The lad became very disor-
derby when the officer spoke to him, so
much so that the guardian angel had TO
take him TO the station-house.
There were an unusual number Of
drunks, and, in consequence, an unusual
ly large number of names added TO the
temperance list.
