JUSTICE JOHNS
MANY DUTIES.
Has to Do Everything and Go to the
Mill, Too.
A DOGS IDENTITY NOT PROVEN.
Robert Clark Gets n Little Drinky and
Puts a Head on His Mothcr-in-
Lava Motorman Charged
With Reckless Running.

Justice John had many pleasant duties
to perform yesterday and it took neat
calculation to divide his attentions equita-
bly, between the Police Court, the Blues
celebration, lakewood Memorial and the
ball game. The first part OF the pro-
gramme, fortunately was short.
The case Of a vicious dog as a curtain
raiser in which the identity Of the dog
was not established, and a few domestic
dramas made up the show presented to
a fine audience in the Police Court yes
terday morning.
y LITTLE DRlHKY.
Robert Clark, colored. was charged with
beating Sarah Matthews. settled col
ored woman. A patch Oh her forehead
Ike the centre Of a cold wave Tag ana
much blacked eye bore corroboratiye tes-
timony. Roberts defence was that he
was n little drnky and said they had
agreed d withdraw the warrant.
With his peculiar inquiring MIND, the
Great Dispenser developed the facts that
Robert was too handy with Il knife, and
that the old woman's presence in his
room at midnight was IN response 10
screams from her daughter, ana Robert
went to Jail.
Sally Kelly also got a little drinky and
kept the neighborhood awake with her
hnarity. She paid $50 FOR her fun.
BEHIND a FENCE.
James feathers colored, was arrested
while hiding behind a fence In the Ches-
apeake and Ohio yards. and was charged
with being a suspicious character. His
conflicting statements confirmed TIE worst
suspicious ana he got fifteen days IN
the creek"
The chain gang is cleaning out Shockoe
creek and the word creek takes the place
OF rock pile in many little convictions
now.
Willie Blair. a notorious colored thief
OF twelve years, who was sentenced &c
three months In Jail yesterday for steal
Ing chickens, was put under bond with
six months more this morning for steal
ing a bicycle.
j. =. Williams. motorman OF Traction
car. was charged by a policeman with
recklessy running his car and injuring
Carrie Parsons. a little girl. The motor

New York Cotton.

New York, December s.-The cotton market
showed heaviness most OF the session after
having opened steady at an advance of .
points The initial rise was poor response
TO tirm cables from the other side. and though
several of the leading commission houses
sought to bring about further Improvement
their efforts counted for but little and before
the first hour had passed prices were tend

iziug and an absence of support from the
bull side Later the declining tendency was
accelerated by sharp tumble in Liverpool.

reverses In South Africa. leading to heavy
liquidation In that market. At midday the
market steadled somewhat on break on a
lull in the selling movement and talk of a
possible squeeze in the January options on
the other side. But early in the afternoon
the market once more became unsettled and
prices broke to the lowest level under re-
newed liquidation. Larger receipts for the
week Mt the interior towns than estimated
and claim that the stocks given did not
represent the actual amount of cotton in
store at number of points created an un-
favorable impression. Tho bear crowd, how
ever was held closely in check by predIc-
lions for smaller receipts during the coming
week. A feature Of today's speculation was
the undong of straddles by arbitrage houses.
| The market at the close was barely steady.
with prices unchanged TO 10 points lower.
