Every session of the Municipal Court
finds all the way from one to five prison
ers in the dock wearing the uniform Of
the United States. The most Of these
men are arrested for intoxication. but
once in while one is charged with as
sault or some other offense of this ma
ture.
Yesterday morning in the Municipal
court there were three of these soldiers.
Woodbury. r. Baker, who lives in West
brook, was charged with drunkenness
and with begging on the street. He had
been provided with a bed and meals By
the city while waiting to be mustered out
Of the volunteer service, but this was not
enough for him. When he had chance
to address the court he said he didn't
have any money with which to pay fine.
and If he didn't appear before the mus
tering ont officers on Friday he woald be
marked for desertion and forfeit abou

Noble had made good deal OF trouble In
Monument Square, and was arrested on
that account Judge Robinson fined
Noble S. each on two complaints. and In

GOOSE BONES AND WEATHER.

According to Ezekiel Bonzy, who IS
held to be the most accurate reader OF
aoose's breastbone in Maine, the coming
winter is going to be shorter. Ii 1s TO
start with a snow storm which will come
in November, and the snow will stay on
the ground for the purpose OF catching
and holding other snow storms that will
arrive frequently and with great vigor
until about the middle Of March. Mixed
in with the output OF snow will be hall,
wind, and. consecutive periods OF zero
weather, which will cause great demand
fur oysrcoats and double nittens.
For the .drst time in eight years the
poose bone is white at the front end. in
aiosting an early snowfall As the bone
Of 1s9s-9e IL very wide and mostly white
IN over it's surface, Mr.. Bonzy infers there
will be deep snow and good shedding for
fullv five months. His conclusions are
we'll reinforced by researches among corn
bnsks. beechnut burs and the fur of ami
walls all of which are uncommonly thick
and well laid on.
Acting upon Mr.. EBonsy's advice. the
INN bermen are planning to go into the
woods early and operators are getting
ontions upon large areas Of stumpage.
For three years past Mr.. Bonzy has pre-
dicted that there would be no snow I'M
I'll after the new year and has hit 1T right
every time. Therefore much confidence
ia placed in his representations this
year.

PLEADED NOT GUILTY.
Patrick Murphy Arraigned ON the Charge
of Murder.

Patrick Murphy who is charged with
brutally numbering his wife Mary MUIR
ply, was arrsigned in the municipal
court yesterday forenoon, before Judge
Robinson. The prisoner was not brought
into the court room until the dock-full
Of drunkards had been sentenced and
taken out OF the room. Murphy was es-
corted to the prisoners dock by two po-
lice officers and seated himself in the end
nearest the judge.
Slight Of figure. with face wrinkled
by old age and hair as white as snow,
Murphy does not appear to be a very
powerful or very dangerous criminal.
In fact it is hard to believe that he had
the strength to so brutally maltreat his
wife. His eyes are bright and restless,
and were constantly wandering about the
court room as if in search of friendly
face. During the brief proceedings the
old man appeared to be self possessed and
did not seem to be cogni8ant Of the ter.
rible crime with which he is charged.
Murphy says he is 50 years old, but be
seems much older than this, and the po-
lice say he is some years older.
Mr.. John B. Kehoe is Murphy's coun
sci. Having read the warrant which
charges Murphy with murde ring his wife
by stamping upon her and brutally jump
ing upon her head and body, and after
wards throwing her out of doors. Mr.. Ke-
hoe waived the reading of the complaint
and. entered a plea of not guilty.
The hearing is postponed by agreement
until Wednesday morning. The charge
of assault and battery brought against
Murphy when he WAS first arrested and
before the death of his wife, was mo-
pressed by the county attorney.
Murphy was remanded to jail to await
the hearing on the warrant.

A short man with a fat, red face ran out of the Erie railroad depot at the foot of West Twenty third street tue other forenoon and chased crosstoYn car which was midway between Eley- enth avenue and the ferry. He was a fast runner and held his hat iii his left hand as he gained on the car. The pas sengers on the rear platform, in spirit of mirth, encouraged him:
 Don't give up. You'l make it. Make spurt, old boy. This is your last chance to get 8 car before two min- utes, " one of them said.
 At Eleventh avenue he caught up, and, perspiring profusely, eprang upon the rear platform. He appeared happy, and when he handed his fare to the con- ductor he said; "tThese BIeecker street cars that run down Ninth avenue do not go often, so l ran to catch this one. . The conductor rang up the fare, and in a matter of fact way answered;
 ''This car goes to Thirty fourth street ferry. Get cut and wait for q Bleeoker street car. /"

 A combination of emerald green velvet and tho finest and softest Persian lamb is supremely "ehic" and supremely expen- sive.

Ir.sh DueIing Code.

The Irish dueling code has been adopted with certain notifications by duelists both in England and the Unit ed States. It was drawn up by the Irish bar at the Clonmel assizes in 1777 and appears to aim at so arranging matters that no Irishman anxious to fight shall be baked by his wish. "The first of fense requires the first apology, al- though the retort may be more offen- sive. After one fire the retort may be explained away. But if either par ty," the code hastens to add, would rather fight on, after two shots each the principal who made the retort may explain and then the original offender tender his apology" :" "When the lie direct is the first offense, the aggressor must either beg pardon in express terms, exchange two shots previous to apolo- gy, or three shots followed by ex- planation, or fire on till severe hit be scored by one of the parties. /" "No dumb firing, or firing in the air, is admissible. 7" In slight cases the sec ond hands his principal but one pistol. in gross cases two, holding another case ready charged in reserve.
