A Pitiful Case.

Two ladies, formerly from this
parish, but now living in one adjoin-
ing, find themselves in woful
stress. The husband Of one of the
ladies has recently died, and she
has three little children, one of
whom is even now critically jill. In
letters Of her mother to former
'neighbor in this parish, the mother
says that they are starving and asks
that her old neighbors and friends
be appealed to for Ihelp.
Some money has already be'n
sent her, but moreis is needed.
This is indeed a sad case, They
were once in comfortable circums
tances, but by misfortune arc
now in poverty, so abject, as te
touch the heart of any one. Thell
appeal should not fail OF, response
The charitable, of whom there are
SO many here, will spare something
for the widow and the orphan. The
True Democrat will gladly receive

knowledging same through these

THE BATTERY STREET ROW.
Anthony. Croto, Haley and Hurley
Fined For a Breach of the Peace.

The hearings in the cases of the men
connected with a scrap on Battery
street late Sunday night was completed in
City Court Tuesday morning. Barney
Anthony, who made ". H. Reads face
look like a map OF the South African war
territory, was sentenced to pay fine II
$25 for a breach OF the peace, Joseph or
Tip" Croto and George Haley We're
each fined $40 and costs for being access
cries before the fact in urging Anthony
on in his assault upon Read. The three
cases were heard together and each man
was assessed one third of the costs, whit II
were $500 in each case. Haley and Croto
took appeals. Anthony wanted to appeal
but having pleaded guilty was unable to
do so and went to jail.
At Tuesday mornings hearing william
Crowley and Charles White gave testi-
mony to the effect that they saw Thyme,
who was with Read, running past the
Champlain shops on Main street and heard
two bottles strike which were thrown at
him. James Thyme was called and tes-
tilted to Anthony's accostng him and
turning upon Read when the latter told
him not to hit Thyme.
Croto and Haley took the stand in their
own behalf but added little to their ca SEES.
They claimed to have had no part in the
row except to have looked on while the
scrap was in progress, The amount of
the fines will, IT is hoped, have tend
ency to check rows of the brutal char
acter which this was shown to have been
and Judge Hawkins will no doubt be
commended for his generous dealing with
the offenders.
In the afternoon Clement Hurley. who
was implicated in the trouble but was
not found in the morning. was arrested
and brought into court He pleaded not
guilty and on a hearing was found guilty
and fined 81 and costs of sll3l
