. DECEMBER WITH POLICE.
Report Shows That 4O4 Arrests Wer
 Made.


 Made.
 The report for December of the Mont gomery Police Department was com pleted yesterday and shows that 404 persons fell into tho hands of the police and received justice at the hands of the Recorder during the month.
 Cash fines to the amont of $1.225.50. fines on back cases amounting to $S0.50 and $2O received from the City Pound, contributed to make the cash receipts of the month amount to $1,326.
 While the number of arrests for the past month was greater than the mum Der of arrests in December, 1903, the amount of money taken in by the de- pertinent was smaller this year than last. This falling of in the cash re- ceipts is attributed to the quiet and or derIy Christmas season just passed when few drunken sprees and fewer fights.
 Captain W. H. Taylor said that the last Christmas was the most orderly one that he had passed since he became a member of the force a number of years ago and the monthly report Veri- fies the reliability of his statement.
 Most of the persons arrested in De- cember were negroes and the majority of offenses under which the /arrests were made were of a minor nature.
 The night force arrested 251 persons, of which 52 were arrested by the mounted men and 76 were arrested by the bicycle patrolmen.
 The number of arrests credited to the day force is 153 and shows that the day patrolmen came in for good share of the work done by the department.
 It Is believed that the addition of the patrol wagon soon to be put into ser vice will be of especial beneft to the patrolmen in making arrests and will show its effect in the monthly report of the department.

Richmond. Va. Jan. S.-The applica- tion for a writ of error and the record in the case of ex-Mayor J. Samuel Mo Cue. convicted of wife murder at Char lottesville, in November last. were re- ceived by the Supreme Court of Ap- meals here today. The record is voIuminous, making more than q thou sand pages. The application is based on alleged errors in instructions, the allegation that the jury was allowed to read newspapers during the progress of the trial. and the general ground that the verdict was contrary to the law and the evidence. The matter will be passed on by the court later.

E. H. Jones, Pastor M. E.

Through a friend was induced to try sample of Foley's Honey and Tar, which gave me so much relief that bought some of the regular size.

many OF tho spurious coins had been

had vainly followed clue after clue in
their endeavor to find the guilty par

dent, had discovered that the accused
was the maker Of the bogus money.
The trial proceeded with the usual
dclibcration: the officers adding to
their evidence some broken nolds
and bars Of zinc, lead and composition

cellar. Several shopkeepers testified
that the accused man had given them
the spurious coin in exchange for
