THEY PULLED THEIR GUNS.
Several Cases of Concealed Weapons
Disposed of by Judge Miller.


Disposed OF by Judge Miller.
Among the crowd OK nondescripts who
were hauled into Judge NnlIer's court this
morning as a sequel TO their Inauguration
day escapades, were number of strangers,
who, unminafuI or ignorant OF theIOcal law
against concealed weapons, brought pistols
along with them, displayed the weapons,
and were arrested.
The first OF these was John s. Curtis,
venerabIe-Iooking man from Oneonta, n.
Y. who yielded TO the temptation offered
by fake theater, which advertised as one
of its attractions 10 couchee-e0achee
dancers. After waiting a while he became
impatient and looked behind the curtain,
where the girls were supposed to be. He
found no one, so he drew his pistol, and
going up to the proprietor demanded his
money back. Instead, he was arrested
for carrying concealed weapons, but in
consideration CT the fact that he did not
know the law, Judge Miller dismissed him
on his personal bonds.
Personal bonds were also taken in the
case of James Dougherty, a Fairmount, W.
Va policeman, on the charge OF carrying
a pistol He was, however, fined SO for
cutting the rope, w hich confined the crowd
on the Avenue yesterday.
James Harris, a marine from Annapolis,
arrested with pistol in his possession,
was also dismissed on his personal bonds
Some of the other prisoners, who were up
on the same charge, however, were not
so lucky Charles Hackerson, who stuck
a pistol in Louis John sons face and de-
nanded quart of whisky, which the latter
had, and was sentenced TO sixty days in
the workhouse, while James Stewart, who
fired at a man in crowd, received six
months.

CITY COUNCIL ACCEPTS.

Adopts the Prop sition of the First Ne
tionsl Bank of ChicsGo.
The city council at it's meeting last
evening passed the ordinance provid-
ing for the sale of 100000 of its
bonds to the First National bank of
Chicago.
Mayor Medill stated that the situa-
ton with reference to the floating OF
the bonds had been explained to Far
son, Leach & Co., Of Chicago, who
also had been appraised Of the hitch
between the city and the First Ma
tional bank Of Chicago, and asked if
they had any proposition to make
looking to the purchase of the bonds.
But he had received no reply. He
had had IN interview with q. NJ.
Bechtel. the representative Of the
First National bank, however, but
that gentleman informed him that
his bank refused to deviate from the
contract embodied in the ordinance
submitted for the councils approval
last Monday night. Mr.. Bechtel
agreed. though, that his bank would
stand half the loss, s279-sustained
by the municipality in the failure TO
place the $40, 600 with the $l70, 900,
his idea being that arrangements
be made for the local banks to carry
the former amount.
Aid. Maucker stated that he only
had limited knowledge Of financial
affairs, but he had given the bond
question considerable study, and he
believed it was to the city's interest
to accept the proposition of the First
National bank of Chicago. He stated
that he did not like the idea of the
banks refusal to carry the 500,
but he felt that that was trivial
matter in view Of the city's present
condition.
Aid. Nelson said that he did not
feel exactly clear On the Chicago
banks action, but he believed it was
the best the city could do under the
circumstances.
The ordinance was then considered
and passed, all voting aflirmatively
except Aid. Kennedy, who recorded
himself against the acceptance of ,he
proposition OF the First Nations
baok Of Chicago.
