POLICE COURT DOINGs
Spectators Turned Out of City Court
Room This Morning.


Room This Morning.
The city court had to be weeded out
this morning before business could
begin. the noise was so great and the
air so sitting. The Police experience
great difficulty in making some people
keep a still tongue in their mouths IN
the city court mornings, particularly
those whose tongues do not speak Eng
fish. but some fine morning one OF them
will find himself in the dock under
fne.
Business began this morning with
the case against Charles LeRoy,
charged with indecently assaulting
little girl named Frisbie in Simons-
vile. Prosecutor Durant stated that
Leroy is, or appears to be, an I'M
beetle. Attorney RusselIs request LOT
q continuance to tomorrow morning
was granted.
John English was charged with IN
toxication and breach of the peace.
A German named Eumplatt was the
complaining witness 1t was difficult
to understand him between bad cold
and the uatnral gutturals of his native
tongue. He.Was understood to say thar
he was setting 'em up for the boys III
saloon at 299 Bank street when Eng
lisn hit him in the right eye, and i'm
mediately there was trouble. English
had nothing to say for himself. He is
a young fellow and seemed to be
ashamed of his conduct. This, how
ever, did not save him from a fine OF
SO and costs on each complaint.
Peter Mccartney of Springfield was
charged with the same offenses. Oil
Ger Mccarthy testified he saw the ac-
cused following man on Canal street
and jabDlng him in the back with his
crutch. Three years ago Mccartney
came to town from Springfield and he
was arrested for getting into trouble
of the same kind. He was fined $40
and costs.
Alex Forman pleaded not guilty to
buying thirty-four pounds of scrap
metal, valued at $2.O4 cents a pound,
from boy named Joseph Josick. He
was defended by Attorney Russell. 1t
was plain, however, that the accusa-
ton was well founded. Sentence was
withheld in this case until the case
against Josick and his two friends,
Henry Galway and John CLEAR, for
taking metal from car owned by the
Waterbury Scrap Iron Co, was dis
posed of. Forman was fined 81 and
costs and the three boys were commit
ted to the state school. Similar cases
against two other boys named Griffin
and Herman were continued sixty
days.

POLITICAL POINTERS.
What Some of the Candidates Had to
Pay in the Way of Expenses.

What Some of the Candidates Had to
Pay in the Way of Expenses.
John w. Coe of Meriden, a member
of the republican state central commit
tee, is said to be Senator Platt,s choice
Tor the New Haven customs collector
ship, vice Mix deceased.
W. g. Seeley of Bridgeport, republic
can candidate for comptroller, expend-
ed $l,2l5.5O. Republican state central
committee. $1,000; republican town
committee, $3.50; pastors, printing, en-
Velopes and postage, S65.5O.
Election even as representative in the
larger places is expensive. Captain
Gruener, elected republican represen-
fative in New Haven, swears to an ex-
penditure of $219, which makes quite a
hole In his official salary of $500.
Mr. Vinal, candidate on the republic
can ticket for reelection as secretary
OF state, gave SAT more than Mr. Hub
bard He gave the state central com
mittee $500. the town committee S225.
and paid $22 for pastors and postage.
Congressman N D. Sperry of New
Haven reports election expenses of ST.
300 He gave this sum in bulk TO his
political agent" p. G.. WaImo, who is
his private secretary. The law does
not require a political agent to re-
port what he does with the funds com
ing into his hands.

A SWIMMING EXHIBITION.
TO Be Given at ThunderbOlt Casino
by Emil Beck sunday.

Emil Beck. the head of Zeigler's
gymnasium, and one of the cleverest
all-round athletes in the city, will
give an exhibition of diving and fast
and fancy swimming in Thunderbolt
river, in front of the Casino Sunday
afternoon at 4 80 o'clock.
Beck formerly held "a number of rec
ords for tank swimming and there is
no doubt that he will make a most in
teresting exhibition Sunday. The
agreement on his part to give such
an exhibition was brought about by the
incredulity shown by some tourists
last Sunday in the statement that
Beck could go in the water and stay
for any length of time at this season
