HEADS RIGHT AND LEFT.


DER in the Police Court yesterday, for
the Great Dispenser was as dan
gerous as a COW with d right young
calf and scattered his shot in the crowd
worse than an old smoolh-bore musket.
He hit a head wherever ne found It
ana kept things stirred up through and
through, equal to a mud-mixnS machine
in j brick-yard.
A small boy in the street threw the
sun in his eyes with a. small mirror
through the window. when he was in the
middle Of y solemn admonition and prob
ably wrecked a human life for the want
OF the warning, knocked out Of the Great
Dispensers mind
He wrestled with the most abstruse
questions. and when he continued a case,
told both SIDES to come full-handed next
time or he would take the whole jack
pot.
JAMES GOES UP.
James Mitchell (colored) came forward,
charged with beating Jennie Spindle. Jen-
ME had Il crayon-tinted protruberance
over one eye. and when the Great Dis
penser looked at Jenn!e's dlapidated
blinker James stood no more show than
a water lily Oh top of the Washington
monument, and though he declared with
fervor that Jennie had been 'interrosat-
ing" him for a long time, he was fined
$40 and went to the pen.
Bill Bruko (coored) a drone himself,
rocked Henry Sergeant White while the
latter was at work sweeping off the side
walk and was fined $3.50
Alex. Jackson (colored), of the age that
gets most in trouble, enjoyed himself
throwing rocks in a citizens porch. The
citizen executed flank movement and
captured Alex. and he was bought out OF
the pen by an old colored womnn Tor IS
and some more for costs.
a CASE OF FASHION
Henry Lee (colored) hrd harvested
trouble enough to last till trouble come
again. Henry was charged with beating
Eliza Johnson in the street, having
knocked her down and kicked her and
Eliza's eye looked as unhealthy a rot
ten peach
The Great Dispenser declared that these
matters went by fashion, just like every
thing else: shat not long since negroes
gave up the raZZoo for bricks, and now
they knocked EN- down fust and then
kicked EN- after they are on the sroune.
This episode with Henry occurred at
the corner of Thirtieth and Leigh Streets
where in their humble home, Emma Lee
Henrys wife. was packing TO go away
and Henry did not want her to 50 ana
they got into a fight. Eliza, Emma s sis

Henry had a lawyer who canned th"t
a man had the light to say "hethe, III.
wife should leave home or 'ot. lhs Iiea'
Dispenser asked him to reEeat tbat std "
ment, and declared ii vas '2eithet I'd"

,.1ien he was fined SO in each case and
padded to the per Emma made anxious
inquiries about the amount of the fine,
and showed that she would pay it if she
could.
Mr. c. e. Chandler was charged with
cursing and abusing Mrs. Chandler. Mrs.
Chandler said it was an incessant thing
and she had stood il as long as she could
on account of the children. Mrs Chaud-
Ter was a widow wien Mr. Chandler mar
ried her three year: ago, and the children
are hers, not his.
Mr.. Chandler Acknowledged he cursed
He said his mouth want no prayer-book
and he couldn't hhp cussin any more'n
he could eatin. Tie Great Dispenser fin
ed him for letting his mouth get in that
fix s.. which Mr.. Chandler said was all
right. he would hare it after awhile. And
in the meantime, I'll have you, said the
Great Dispenser. and the man whose
mouth is not a player-book went to the
place where other sinners go.
Willie Anderson (colored) saw Writ
Speers. a white boy, with his head hang
ing over the fence-a temptation greater
than he could stand. The rock went
true. and Wirt's eye and mouth would do
credit to a yellow Jackets sting and Will
lies mother put up $500 OF the coin of the
realm to secure his freedom.
BATH IN A HURRY.
Gladys Holt and Eva Smith, denizens OF
Mayo Street, had a fuss because a soda
water clerk waited on one before he did
the other and fought it out in the street.
s. each was the penalty. Eva paid and
Gladys suffered the first bitter lesson OF
life of sin and went to the pen in de-
fault
Thomas O'Donnell entered the house of
D. NJ Hook and was found on the bed
with MI. Hooks little daughter Mr..
Hook was disposed to prosecute O'Donnell
for criminal intent but it was so plain
that his act was the blunder OF man
very drunk that he was sent TO Jail for
thirty days on the charge of be-
ing drunk and creating a dis
turbance. O'Donnel had previously
boarded in the house. There were several
other children in the room and he was
very drunk and asleep with his clothes on.
