Tic regular Saturday crowd filed the
BIZ; White Chamber yesterday in never
f.ilins nlnbers 7lrtil the very throne OF
justice was invaded and the passage
WAYS pucked like a Main street electric
car a 6 ]. N Reserved seats were at q
rremiun. and y ere Iilled With visitors from
abroad who laughed until their coat seams
were Earing and their sides cracked ike
a pair O. cheap patent leather shoes.
The Great Dispenser was as effervsscent
YESTERDAY morning as two well-mixed seid-5
l,tz ;,uwders. and scattered his fire like an
old smooth-bore army musket, peppering
everything in sight and enjoying the
effects OF his own destruction with the
picasurable excitement Of small iooy
with piece of chalk. up against the
front Of brand new pressed brick
building.
Small. TALK.
His stream Of small talk came with
the energy Of steam fire engine hose
popping with the air pressure in the pipe
and every now and then throwing small
gravel.
The cases were not many and the dock
ct wasn't much as money-getter, put
being the last chance in the week to
distribute his precepts among the peo--
pie, the Great Dispenser strewed en-
like firing advertisements from cannon
at the coming street fair.
John Redford colored, was charged
with being drunk and was found lodging
for the night in the bottom of gutter.
He was too drunk to tell his name or
where he lived, but sober enough to
feel the indgnity Of being hauled in the
police van, and swore he'd die before
he'd ride.
LIVED THROUGH IT.
officer Murray, who made the arrest,
is himself something Of humorist ana
dryIy remarked that however, John
managed to live through the ordeal
John vowed that it had been two oars
since he had took drink and swore
he'd never take another as long as life
lasted, and received his discharge.
potert Shope went into a bar-roon1 and
found G. H Booker. Robert was dry and
broke at THAI, and Booker had money.
He asked Booker for drink, and Booker
refused to stand treat-a seemingly I'M
generous thing tc do-and Shore took me
only course suggested at the moment for
knocked Booker down.
The Great Dispenser took a different
v:ew of har-room ethics and fined Shope
$40 and put him under security for sig
months.
ON SPOONS KOP.
The case of Hattie Giles, charged with
the murder of her infant. had to be post
.poned on account of the woman,s Illness
Dr. W.. H, Taylor, Richmonds efficient
coroner, was the chief witness, and
mark for the Great Dispensers facetious
shot.
Though the sturdy coroner received the
shock of the first assault with some loss.
and the Great Dispenser captured his
Spion's Kop, he made the Great Law
Eiver retire before the end Of the fight
with the loss Of his biggest guns, and re-
occupied the heights.
There was great excitement among JUS
tice Johns constituents, who made no
effort to conceal their fears Of his grave
situation but this incident closed the
DAYS battle, and both sides retired for
repairs.
Edward Thornton. colored who was
charged with attempting to shoot one
Robert McGhee, failed to answer to the
call of his name, and an attachment was
issued for his body to be brought before
the Court.

nals was arraigned, and the case con-
tinued in order to summon Dr.. Barr,
Rector of the church and other witnesses.
A. J. De Lacy, McArthur's pal, who
was arrested last night, was put under
security as q suspicious character ana
sent to Jail for - months.
These two men We're under arrest three
days ago. as suspicious characters, and
we're ordered to leave town in one hour.
They failed to obey the injunction.
The detectives believe they have the
authors of the recent robberIes OF Monu-5
mental and Christ Episcopal churches,
ST. Patrick's Catholic church and other
sacred edihces.
The young man named Phillips at first
arrested in connection with the Monu-
mental church robbery, was on hand as
a witness and recognized to appear as
such at the postponed examination.
Nc Arthur and De Lacy are known
as professional house breakers.

dress he gave, and he was put under
