 Held for Superior Court
 Angelo Carlo was before Judge Peasley in the city court to-day charged with running over 9 boy named John Kerwin, son of John T. Kerwin, 45 Bishop street, and with running away to evade the responsi- bility of his recklessness. Carlo pleaded not guilty and was defended by Attorney Bauby Constable Walter Lannon, Mrs John Burns and John Levick were the witnesses for the state. Their story was to the effect that yesterday evening about o'clock Carlo, who is in the employ of the Bryan Bros, contractors, was driving a heavy double team down Bishop street, and when near Hawkins street young Kerwin attempted to cross over. He was knocked down by Carlos horses, stamped upon and run over by the wagon. When the boy was seen apparently lifeless on the street a great commotion resulted. People shouted and women screamed. Con- stable Lannon- called upon the man to stop and apparently the more the con- stable shouted the more Carlo piled the whip on his horses. The pursuit was carried over Grove street until the constable saw he could not over take Carlo. Thereupon he called upon John Levick, who was riding a bicy- Gle, to pursue the man and he himself ran back and engaged team. Levick followed the man to his destination on Willow street, the Bryan Bros barn, and there the constable took him into custody. Meanwhile the boy. uncon- scious and bleeding, was taken to Dr McLinden's office and a great crowd gathered on North square, The com motion was intense, for the general belief was that the boy would die A note from the doctor this morning showed that the boy will live; that the left leg was badly mangled and nine stitches were required; that the mus cles of the same leg were badly torn and the covering of the bone was scraped. Carlo put up a very poor de- fense. He was fined S25 and costs and sentenced to three months in jail. He, took an appeal under bond of $400.
 Peter J. Schwab was charged with burglary. The story of this offense is thus: Schwab was employed by the Waterbury Carriage company and boards at 249 Bank street. He became acquainted with colored girl named Maggie Adams, employed in D. H. Blanchard's house, Newell place. Last evening he got drinking and-there his memory stops. He only knew that he found himself lying on the floor in a bedroom in MT Blanchard's house; that he saw a light entering the room and he immediately undertook flight through convenient window. How he got in he could not tell. He could not say how much he had drunk, but from the way his head felt he said he must have had good deal. Mrs Blanchard was the first one who saw him and she reported to her husband who saw his feet protruding from under bed in the room Schwab was bound to the next term of the superior court under a bond of $200. On Grand street the first scene in the circum- stances that led to Schwab's arrest was laid It appeare that q young fellow had an engagement with the girl mentioned above, and meeting her on Grand street he immediately en- tered into an altercation with her and struck her several times in the face. and knocked her down. When the girl proceeded to go home she tainted sev- eraI times and was finally carried home by a number of young men.
