 JudGs Burpss Had Numsrous Case
 Before Him To.day. There was quite display of silver
 in the city court to-day. It was a deal
 display for Patrick Coffey, an employt
 at Rogers & Bros shop of the Inter
 national Silver Go. Coffey was charged on two counts with theft of five dozeI
 silver spoons and eleven dozen silver forks and spoons, all of the value oi $50, and he pleaded guilty. The five dozen spoons were taken on July 1t and the other goods last Saturday.
 Superintendent Maurice Tobin testi fled that for some time the concern had been missing goods and that Cof, fey was suspected. He has been in the employ of the company about four years, but before that he was em- ployed for fifteen years by Manager George Rockwell, who was surprised at the arrest of Coffey Saturday.
 When taken to the police station Coffey was searched and five dozen spoons were found distributed about his clothing. He said that for some time he had been disposing of the goods to Joe Dadona, who lives on Jefferson street.
 At Dadona's place the police found that Coffey's story was correct. On one occasion DadOna said he did not care to have anything to do with the goods and Coffey persuaded him. to take them anyway because he did not n-icb tn ha caon in tho na6OnQ then accepted the goods, giving Coffey $1.50 for them. On each count C0ffey was fined $25 and costs and given two months in jail.
 / Dadona was charged with receiving stolen goods. His defense was that he did not know they were stolen and told Coffey that he did not wish to have anything to do with them. He was fined $5 and costs.
 Dr Poore testified that Louis Wine. stine of South Elm street, who was assaulted one night last week by two young fellows, Patrick Quinn and Ed ward Shea, was still unable to appear in court. Until yesterday the man. who is 75 years old, was unable to re- tain any food. A witness testified that he saw Quinn strike the old man. Quinns bond was raised from $200 to $500.
 Rose Hallock was committed to Brookside for thirty days for intoxica- tion.
 Officer J. Mccarthy found John Me- Intyre and Darby Luddy asleep in the brush south of Burritt's foundry in South Brooklyn last evening at 10:30 o'clock. They were charged with in- toxication. Luddy's defense was that he was waiting for the night to get dark in order to go home. Apparently he forgot that it is quite dark at the hour he was arrested. Both men were fined $10 and costs.
 Friday afternoon Gustave Farland called at Mrs Floro Shapiro's house on West Farm street, looking for a French family. He was shown where a French family was living, but he did not seem to wish to see them. His actions were peculiar and the other evening when the Shapiro house was broken into suspicion immediately fell upon Farland. Yesterday Detective Dodds called upon him at his boarding place on Meadow street and listened to story which the officer found to be true. That Is, the man said he makes proprietary medicine and sells it himself. Judge Burpee gave the man the alternative of leaving town by tomorrow or going to jail for thirty, days for vagrancy. Farlapd, though very well dressed, did not make a good impression on the stand.
 Thursday Charles Northrop stole certain tools from Henry Lawlor, They were worth $3S5 defense was that he did not know what he was doing when he took them. He thought Lawlor owed him wages and took this peculiar way of paying himself. Saturday Northrop fell in with Julius Stafan. They had a few drinks at Pasternack's saloon, South Main street. There Stefan changed bill. Northrop induced him to take a walk and they walked until they found themselves "way out east" At Northrop's suggestion they went into the brush to take snooze. Stefap was snoOzing right away and while he was ringing off nasal seml-quavers Northrop relieved him of his money, s. his pipe and cigar holder. When Stefan woke up Northrop was gone. On the Lawlor complaint Northrop was fined sI and costs and given thir- ty days in jail, and on the other case he was bound over to the superior court under bonds of S4OO.
