with good team work, would nave peen
to his credit. One man came in and the
side retired. The Jeans went to pat
and faced Peyton Charter. an old Man

CONDUCTOR FINED. :,
A well-known street-car conductor Of
the Perry-Street Line appeared before
Mayor Maurice yesterday, slightly the
worse for wear. He had been sup

several bruises about his face. while
a brilliant red cleaned from the corners
of his eyes. The scene was significant
of a jolly good time, which had passed
and left in his tracks nothing but re-
morse Of conscience, and a vow to re-
pent at once. For raising a disturbance
on a car the conductor was fined $40 and
for fighting in the streets of Manches-
ter he paid $3.50. The case in itself at
tracted TO the court something less than
twenty-five witnesses. Then came the
rest of the unfortunate mortals, who
persist in being really bad.

some fun in the street and the officer

Wright that Harris is being charged with

The bringing to light Of this construc-
