QUESTION. OF INCHES:


A Church Hill citizen was charged with
obstructing the street with wagon while
unloading. and blockading the street-cars.
The officer said there was plenty Of room
for wagon and cars, too, if the wagon
had been placed next to the curling, and
the accused declared it was not SO.
The Great Dispenser ordered the space
measured with the understanding that the
fine should be paid if there was ample
room, and that the citizen should be dis
missed if the street was as narrow as he
claimed
The Great Dispenser, however, took oc-.
casion to once more criticise the autocratic
actions of drivers of vehicles and the
growing belief that they own the city
streets and declared that as long as he
carried the City Council in his vest-pocket
and could crawl to the Police Court, pc
destrians should have the right Of way
in Richmond and wagons must keep out
of their path.
TALKING EXPENSIVE.
Ed Burke (colored) was charged with
sitting on bench in the First Market.
The Officer told him to get off, and Ed.
no lowed as how he paid rent for that
bench and would set on it as much as he
pleased"
Ed. did not take into account certain
city ordinance, and so far forgot himself
as not to remember about the Great Law
giver on the Hill.
Justice John reminded him that the Mig
gers did not yet own the town, and de-
livered lecturette on talking too much
as being an expensive luxury and fined
Ed $3.50 for indulgence in the said luxury.
James Green (colored) was charged with
assaulting. striking and attempting to kill
G. Washington. George told a well-built
story of how, a three in the morning, he
was coming down his steps to go to work
when Green assaulted him with several
large rocks.
And things looked blue for Green.
But they were not so black as they were
painted. Peter Monroe, witness, referred
in his testimony, to having dog. The

of course made them scamper

There were no long faces, repre-.

what this uncomfortable misfor-
tune-or rather blessing-had
been taken in all good nature and
appreciation as it should have
been. Through their kindness
and unselfishness some of our
young people were invited to join
them in this pleasure, and the
young ladies were driven back to
near neighbors where they were
entertained. The gentlemen, pro-
fering camp life, spent the night
