a fine audience filled the benches OF the
Big White Chamber this morning, ran over
into the doors and windows like a full
measure of grain. Some of the best peo-
pie in town were there for ordinance
violation and as witnesses, and 1t was
hot enough to make a ella monster sh1ver.
Perspiration reigned supreme in the
Police Court this morning. The eaecIrlc
fans were as motioniess as a. sCapltol-
Square bench, and the Great Dispenser
tuned and sweated until people wondered
why he didn't put himself in jail
81 He said he had been seven years tIsihS
to get those fans, and hesWould be ping
hinged and ding-danged if he didn't see
why they were not kept running.
WIRES BROKEN.
The electrician found the wires broken
in the street, and reported that it would
take an extra strong equipment to stand
the shock of Justice Johns court.
This made the Great Lawgiver5 perspire
the more, and the streams flowing from
the throne soon flooded the entire cham
Der, and the people were only saved by the
!, use of the breeches-buoy.
y William Harvey (colored), charged with
beating Laura Clarke, was the first case
called. The woman ran into the Second
Station at night crying, and sWore that the
man beat her on the street and showed
where he hit her.
They had now made UP, and had a law
yer employed. Neither would answer
questions properly, and both were charged
with lying, and sent to the pen until they
could tell the truth.
The Great Dispenser declared that there
were three stages of prevarica tion-people
told fibs when they were children,
told stories when grown UP, and when
they got before him they took to square
lying.
After a spell in the pen William and
Laura were more concise in their answers,
and were fined IS each for creating a dis
turbance on the street.
DRIVEN OUT OF COURT
Lucius Mayo tco.ored) was charged with
striking Patrick DAILY. The latter achnoWi-
edged that he let negroes loaf around his
place, and the Great Dispenser drove the
case out of court Like housewife shooting
a hen out of the f1ower-garden.
Charles Taylor, a weil-appear1ng White
man. was charged in connection with one
Ollie Lee with having created a disturbance
on Aain-Stret Electric Car No. 119 and
striking the conductor. The evidence
showed that Taylor tried to make his COM
pauion, who was drunk, behave himself
until a fight ensued between Lee and the
conductor, and then NJ. Taylor struck at
the conductor.
The disturbance commenced at the cor
ner of Seventh and Main, and continued
to Seventeenth Street, where OAy Lee
pulled the conductor Oft the running
board, and was Rocked down by the con-
ductor.
The witnesses commended the conductor
for his conduct throughout
Taylor denied having struck a blow, and
declared he did all that mortal man could
do to save q fuss, but a number Of credl-
table witnesses testified that they saw
him strike.
The car was crowded with ladies and
others, and the Great Dispenser declared
that the ladies of Richmond should be
made secure on the cars of the city il he
! had to put all the drinking men in chris
tendon in jail. Taylor was fined 500.
Ollie Lee failed to answer the charge, and
an attachment was issued for him.
