Norris Was Arrested.

Mary L. Nichols appeared before
Alderman Kellow on Monday evening
and swore out a warrant for the arrest
of Samuel Norris and wife, of Lacka-
wanna avenue, on the charge of as
sault and battery. Mrs. Nichols claims
that her husband is in the habit of
going to the Holtham house, run by
Norris, and there spending all his pay.
On Monday he went there as usual, but
the prosecutrix says she followed him
in, and as he was about to empty a
schooner Of beer she attempted to take
the glass away from him. At this
juncture a woman, whom she supposed
was Mrs. Norris, ran up to her and
grabbed her by the hair, knocking her
down and pulling her towards the door.
Norris then appeared on the scene and
helped this woman throw the prose-
cutrix out, hence the arrest.
At the hearing yesterday afternoon it
developed that the woman in the case
was not Mrs. Norris. as she was sick
in bed at the time, so the case against
her was discharged. Norris was held
in 5000 bail. During the progress of the
above row, several beer glasses We're
broken, so at the close of the above
hearing Norris had Mr.. and Mrs. Mich
OILS arrested, on the charge of breaking
glassware. The hearing will be held
today.

Billy, the Goat,

William Null, of Meridian street, is
the owner of splendid specimen of a
goat, of which he Is justly proud. This
is no wonder, when it Is remembered
that it is the same goat that was SO
prominent in the newsboys' parade and
picnic that was held at Nay Aug park
a few weeks ago. The goat afforded
much amusement at the time on ac-
count of his buttng proclivities and
the fantastic manner in which the boys
had arrayed him.
The goat must have been noticed
particularly by some one, for few
days after the picnic he was stolen from
the barn in the rear of Null's home.
"A search warrant was issued to Con-
stable John Davis. who found the long
lost billy" in the possession of a
gentleman on Price street, who said he
bought the goat of John Graham of
Hennessy's court, who brought it to his
home and offered to sell it for fifty
cents, on account of the strike, he
(Graham) claiming to be the lawful
owner Of the aforesaid goat.
Constable Davis arrested young Gra-
ham, but the owner of the goat failed
to appear as prosecutor, he being sat
isfied to have the goat in its own barn
again.

A SLEEPING PREMIER.
Stories of Lord North's Drowsy Mo.
mentS in Parliament,

lhChIS III
Lord North was the sleepine parlia-
mentarian of the eighteenth century.
He was forever yawning in the faces
of members and their speeches. Black
and White says of him that indignant
orators We're constantly complaining
of his refusal to listen to them, and he
was never at loss in subjecting them
to the further humiliation of sharp
retort.
Even now in these perlls the noble
lord Is asleep," burst forth an angry
member of the opposition, and Lord
North awoke in time to murmur, II
wish | were!"
Again he said to another grumbler,
"The physician should never quarrel
with his own medicine
To a speaker who impeached him Of
all sorts of crimes and called attention
to his doing through the attack Lord
North rejoined:
1T is cruel to deny me the soace
enjoyed by other crlminals-that of a
nights rest before they meet their
fate"
The best story of the sleepy premier
Is that connected with a peer who
bored parliament with IA history of
shipbulldng from the time of Noah and
his ark. North began dozing at the
mention of the ark and slept until the
speaker reached the Spanish armada.
Then colleague woke him.
"Where are we now" asked North.
"In the regin of Queen Elizabeth"
"Dear, dear," exclaimed the prime
minister, "Why don't you let met sleep
a century or two more?"
