When the name Of A. L. White was
called by Clerk Adams in City Court
this morning Mr.. White did not answer,
and his bond was declared forfeited.
White, who is a resident Of this city,
was arrested last evening by the local
officers on a warrant sent TO Chief OF
| Police Dolan by the Philadelphia au-
liberties. The warrant charged that A.
l.. White had stolen pawn ticket from
one Catherine Kelley. Of Philadelphia.
The ticket called for a watch, brace
let and ring, which had been pledged
for $780,
The accused was arraigned In City
Court last night, but the case was con-
tinued for a further hearing today, and
the bond fixed at $500. James r. White
becoming surety. After being released
White went to Philadelphia, and some
time later Police Captain Kane received
a message from the Quaker City Off
cials stating that the man had been
taken into custody in that city and
/ locked up on the same charge This
was the cause of his non-appearance in
City Court today.
In declaring Whites bond forfeited
Judge Ball stated that the court had
no official knowledge Of Whites de-
] tention in Philadelphia and could not
do otherwise than forfeit his bond, as
he did not appear The matter will,
however. probably be adjusted regard
ing his bondsman.
QUESTION. OF ORDINANCE.
As Mrs. Julia Garner, of No 30S
West street. was walking at Second
land Adams streets last night she Slip
ped on the sidewalk and fell severely
injuring herself. Mrs. Garner claimed
that her fall was due to the slippery
Z condition of the pavement caused by
three young men sliding upon it. Oni-
3 GERS John Cunnor and sewell Scott
later arrested Frank Mckinley John
McAleer and George Sharp on charge
of violating the ordinance regarding
sliding on the sidewalks.
When the case came UP this mcrn
ing Assistant City Solicitor Cahuor
stated that after inquiry into the mat
ter he would ask for the dismissal q
. the defendants. Il appears that, al
, though there is an ordinance prohibit
ing shedding en- sidewalks in the city
there is none that covers the matter
Of sliding upon them. The case wal
dismissed.
