POLICE COURT ITEMs.-There were
several unimportant cases before the

one which occupied much OF the time
OF the court was tut of Samuel Will
liams, conductor OF freight train OF
The Washington s lutherD Railway.
who had been arrested by Lieutsns
Smith and Officer R)beiti for blocking
portions of Fsyette street about one
o'clock this morning with his train.
Col. F j.. Smith appeared as bis coun-
sci. The evidence OF the officers was
to the effect that crossings had been
blocked for a space of half an hour.
The conductor stated that he had been
ordered to bring train of 40 cars to
the yard In this city, that upon arriving
here be fastened to the telegraph office

master which track the cars should be
PLACED upon, that he could not cut bis
train, as should be have done 30 be
would have been unable to couple-up
aud get under headwsy again, and
while seeking the yardmaster he was
placed under arrest. He disclaimed
any intention Of violating the law. and
said bis action YVES unavoidable. Col.
Smith made o clear and succinct state
ment of the case, and urged that in
face OF the fact that the blocking OF the
street was not the fault OF the conduc'
tor, that it occurred ct an hour when no
vehicles we're on TIE street and was
unavoidable, that the Mayor might
overlook the matter. His honor,
however, In summing MP the case, said
that while the he allowed all the points
made by Col. Smith we're plausible. at
the same time the law had been clearly
violated, and 10 face of the macy COM
plants which had been lodged against
the practise of blocking Fayet9 street
with Trains, he would be compelled to
sssess a fine Of SO, but hoped the rail-
way company would pay the amount
and not allow the accused, who proba-
bly, could ill.afford it, 10 take 1t from
