"A drunk who was awaigned in
Police Court yesterday under the nom
de plume of John Smith," %insolently
requested Mayor Swneey to "cut OUT
the lecture which he had started to ad-
minister. Now he is, presumably, sorry
that he spoke. He was fined $40 and

to thirty days in the workhouse for con-
tempt of court.
The prisoners who escaped from the
bridgeport Jail Sunday morning, are
reported to be still at large. A. sensa-
tional story was given to a Register
reporter yesterday to the effect that the
prisoners were assisted in making their
escape, and that money was improper
ly used in the matter. The story
should be prcbed to the bottom by the
proper officials.
The Pittsburg Press devotes con-
siderable space to a write-up of the
fences in Allegheny. 1t is alleged
that large quantities of stolen goods are
sent to that city. A coat stolen from

cepted before it reached its destination
in Allegheny. 1t is said that stolen
goods from Wheeling are sent to Bell
aire and thence to Allegheny.

enville yesterday afternoon. He was

The Register will prosecute the boy
who was detected in the act of stealing
the Sunday Register from The Severn.
On Main street. His case will be made
an example. and will be followed by
others, until this practice OF petty pill
ferlng is broken up. 1t is a source Of
constant annoyance to both publisher
and subscribers. The Register regrets
the necessity for prosecutions, and
trusts that other boys who have been
stealing Sunday papers will consider
the adage "A hint to the wise," etc.
