walks. and conditions of life, the majority
being arrested yesterday and last night
for disorderly conduct, or for having i'm
bibed too freely in Christmas cheer. They
were compelled to remain in the station
houses all night, not having the collateral
necessary to secure their release. When
they arrived in the cell room this morning
coffee and sandwiches We're dispensed to
each. Quite a number wanted pie, but 1t
was not on the bill of fare, nor was it re-
garded as up to date to have pie at an
early morning meal. 1t was conceded
however that those having the necessary
coin should have the privilege of purchas-
ing a slice.
John Doe, a colored man, who was among
the unfortunates on hearing one of his cell
mates ask for a piece of PIE, said: You
can have all the pie, but my taste runs for
a hummer and l would like to have it
good and tall"
John evidently had a dark brown taste
in his mouth, but he was not successful in
obtaining the desired liquid refreshment
Court convened promptly at 8 o'clock.
Frank Duffy and John Fitzpatrick, so
young white men, were the first tried. Dis
orderly conduct was the charge against
them.

tolls for engaging in disorder on F street
southwest last night.
Judge, since White was arrested last
night, found he was not to blame" a po-
hceman informed his honor.
What was the trouble, Whte?' the
court asked.
