For Disorderly Conduct.

Officers of the fifth precinct station
were attracted to the house of William
Lee on t Street hill, i'm Hillsdale, one night
last week on account of hearing profanity
and other noise of a hilarious character
coming from the inside Policemen NJ
Raedy, Frank Dent and Charles Weber
went to the rear door. The house is in a
thinly populated part of the city and the
inmates had not expected any interference
with their fun. The visit of the police%
men was therefore unexpected.
I'VE found William Lee and three wom-
en-, partially undressed and all under the
influence of liquor. They we're dancing
around and having fine time said one of
the officers.
The quartet were placed under arrest and
when brought up on charge of disorderly
conduct they were sent down to the farm
for sixty days
lee was arraigned in Police Court this
morning before Judge Scott on charge of
keeping a disorderly house. He pleaded
not guilty and demanded jury trial.

ALLEGED Bad Conduct.

when he is sober he is an all right man,
but when he gets drunk, he curses and
swears in the worst way said Mollie
Diller, who keeps a store on p street north
west. She appeared in Police Court before
Judge kimball this morning as a witness
in the case of Charles Diller, one of her
family, charged with profanity.
How often does he get drunk?" asked
the judge.
why, very often, your honor, and when
he gets tight, he causes much trouble
around the store. Yesterday morning he
took a few drinks and then took a nap.
When he awoke he was ugly and cursed
so that / had to have something done with
him. Take his personal bonds, judge, and
he will be good" continued the complaining
witness.
Neighbors, too, appeared in court, to tell
how they were annoyed by the swearing
of the prisoner. For the next thirty days
Charles will be in the workhouse.

pany of the United States. delivered an ad-
dress last evening at the Shiloh Baptist
Church, l. street between 18th and 18th

view to interesting them in the celebration

be a bad idea to take stock that would
properly show the interest the colored race
is taking in the exposition in order that
Congress might be prevailed upon to appro-
pirate a sum to assist them in making a
creditable exhibit. The southern states,
he said, have all been organized into
movement to support the company and to
send exhibits. His address aroused consid-
cradle enthusiasm.

Sentenced for Wife Beatino

Miles Hill, colored, separated from his
wife in this city about twelve years ago.
He went away and had not returned to the
home until April last. He returned about
midnight and after repeated poundings on
the door he was let in by his wife He
stayed there that night. Apparently the
alteration of twelve years ago could not
be settled in night, and on that night
the prodigal husband used some rough ar
guments on his wife
The wife made strong statement of her
injuries on that night, received at the
hands of her husband, and how her cheer
at her better halfS return was suddenly
gone. The judge considered the case of
wife-beating serious and imposed a sem
tence of $50 fine or $50 days in Jail.
