who arrested her for selling liquor

at Howard street wharf Joseph Terrin,
an able seaman, suddenly became mu
order to reach Captain Adolph Carbinis,
whom he intended to attack. Other
officers of the vessel overpowered the
frenZied mariner, manacled him and
had him in irons twenty-four hours
when one of his messmates went
ashore and told Patrolmen Dover and
McGrath Of the occurrence. They
promptly went aboard released the
prisoner and then took him to the Har-
Dor station and booked him for mali
cious mischief and disturbing the
peace. When the case came up before
Judge Cabaniss the master of the ves-

was committed on ship carrying the
French flag and 1t was the captains

punished in France. The Judge then
sentenced the defendant to fifteen days

Mrs. A. r. Gray, young housewife
residing at 80 Russ street, stoutly de-
MED that either she or Mrs. Anna Seal,
who was visiting her at the time
sprinkled dirty water upon or struck
with a broom or otherwise assaulted
Mon Lee when he drew a knife and
threatened to slay if he were not paid
for the soiling of certain articles of
feminine apparel which Mrs. Gray had
intrusted to him to be properly laun-
dered.
Mon Lee, however, just as firmly
averred that Mrs. Seal smote him with
broom handle and threw dirty water
upon him while his back was turned
toward her. AS for the 81 so which
Mrs. Gray had refused to pay him, he
did not care one snap of his finger for
that. What he did object to was the
way in which the women treated him
after he had delivered the washing and
mildly endeavored to collect the money
He was retreating in a most orderly
manner, more panied than angry, when
the broom and the unclean aqua visited
him. No, he had not drawn a knife
because he had no knife to draw
Judge Mogan deemed Mon Lees un-
supported testimony inadequate to off,
set the two statements for the prose-
cution,. and next Saturday the defend
ant will be sentenced for disturbing
the peace.
