he arrested him. While he did not see any

Self-defense.

quilted him.

Fond of Strong Drink.

jackson Landrum, a colored man, whose
fondness for strong drink gives him more
trouble than his money does, was in the
lineup before Judge Scott this morning
L has to say guilty." Jackson responded
when arraigned for habitual drunkenness. 1
took right smart Of liquor, but didn't
think 1t would do me up so terrible"
How terrible did it do your" the court
asked.
We'll, judge the prisoner said, II was
able to keep walking"

WORK AT A sTANDSTILL.
Heavy Clay Encountered by Workmen
Boring for Solid Foundation.

The borings to determine the nature of
the ground over which the overhead tracks
from the new railway bridge will come into
the city have reached depn of eighty feet,
and there the pipes have stuck and the
workmen are unable either to drive them
down or draw them up. A sticky clay, re-
sembling fuller's earth, has been struck,
and in it the pipes hang. The drill, worked
with all the strength of five strong men,
seems unable to make any impression on
1t, but those in charge of the work say
that persistent effors will finally force the
drill through the clayey strata.
1t is the desire of the railway engineers
to have the borings made to a depth of
ninety feet. Although the soundings are
being made on the shore of the river, there
seems to be but little water in the hole.
If the sound made by the drill working in
the hole can be taken as an indication. The
boiler and other machinery to be used in
the building of the new overhead work is
being delivered on the ground and it is
stated the work on the new bridge will be
started next week

Broke His Promise

William Sanford appeared in the Police
Court one day last week and was tried for
vagrancy. His plea was that he wanted to
go down the river to work on an oyster
dredger
And he said, IN stop drinking"
1t so happened that there was a victim of
oyster dredgers in court that day, and the
story he told of hardships on the bay
caused Sanford to experience a change of
mind.
Yesterday morning." Judge Scott was
told, Sanford was locked up for drunken
ness. He was released and later in the
day l found him dead drunk and asleep in
one of the parks"
And what else?' the court interrupted
Il drove him away" the officer respond
ed, land afterward I found him sleeping
beneath another tree"
The prisoner promised to keep sober and
said he intended to leave the city. His
promise, the court was afraid, would not
amount to much and fine of S. was i'm
posed.
