Postponed.

Some Of the proceedings In the Police
Court yesterday morning proved to be
quite amusing to the crowd OF curious
people who congregate there every
morning. The cases were all Of little
Importance, and were easily disposed of
by Justice Tomlin. -
One Of the first cases called was that
Of Perry Jones. a young negro, who was
charged with being a suspicious charac-
ter. He odd a horrible tale of G. con-
spiracy he had brought to light. He
said hat a plot had been made by six
colored men to rob a graveyard. They
had a. horse and wagon and each man
was armed with a revolver. He stated
that he had made an appointment With
the grave robbers, and was waiting for
them when he was arrested. 1t was
shown that 1t was all a joke put up on
Jones by several men, and the case was
dismissed. #
The next was that of Mamie Richard
son, q tall, angular looking colored Wo-
a whose clothes looked a little the
worse for wear. She was charged with
lighting with Mary Lee Garrett. They
were each fined 81 and costs. i
Levy w. Jones. an aged colored IMAM,
was charged with being a vagrant. It
was very evident that ne Is suffering
from q weak mind, and Justice Tomlln
ordered HIN held for q commission of
lunacy. Jones spends most OF his time
In looking UP at the sun and counting
his fingers. and imagines hat the end
CT the world Is near.
Joe SpiiSgs. a while man, left his home
In Poplar Bluff, Missouri. some time ago,
and bea his way to Norfolk, being anx-
ious to engage In the oyster dredging
business. He was charged with being q
Vagrant. and was given fifteen minutes
In which to leave town.
Jim Spratley and Henry waldron had
an alteration Tuesday night over the
delivery of n trunk. during which Wal
dron was cut across the small of the
back. Spratley was arrested yesterday
marning, and nned $40 and costs.
Several minor cases were also tried.
among which were:
l.. Freeman, colored, drunk: 81 and
costs.
w. II. Payne, white. nuisance; 81 and
costs.
Alfred Epps, colored, stealing: con-
tinued one day.
