POLICE COURT

Business was dull in the police court yes- | torday. It seemed that criminals were 1 taking a needed holiday, which should cause a faint glimmer of hope to pass through the brain of reformists. George Earnest was in count, and his case was continued until this morning, as it could not be concluded yesterday. Earn est is charged with assault and battery upon woman. He is a white man. It is said that Earnest went to the residence of a mcrtorman and finding the husband ao- sent, he decided ito indulge in some gay antics with the unprotecte wife, to the ex tent that he endeavored to hug her after the fashion of fond lovers. The prosecution held tTne board yesterday, and tine defense will pour forth light on pae subject this morning. In the meantime, Mr. Earnest is left to himself.
 Daniel Donovan, a white man, was up before the court on a slight offense and was adjudged guilty by the court and fined B.
 Arthur Collins, gay and festive young coon who felt disposed to be disorderly was found guilty, and his bank account, if one he had, Is depleted to the extent of $5.
 Will Long, another negro, was up before
  swered charge for fhe same offense as Arthur Collins. Being adjudged guilty. he was also assessed a fine of equal amount.
 James Grant was charged with an as- sault and battery on A J. Davis and was found guilty and fined $5.
 Jim Brown. it appears, nurtured grudge against one Walter Mccoy; wherever Me Coy went he found Himself despised by Mr Brown, and they came together one day not long ago, the result being that Brown attempted to "lick' the other fellow. As a prgllist he may be a 1lowling success. blrt when it comes to his trying to prove him self innocent dn the police court he is an awful failure. His lack of ability in this line caused him to have to sift his crollh- ing yesterday to see if $1O could be discov- cred to pay his fine.
 Sam Petty had been warned to stay upon lawful grounds, but he had ideas of sris own manufacture, a thing which causes wonder among those who know Sams mental caliore and he needed not the warning. His disobedisnce nets the city's exchequer $5.25.
