In the ensuing mixup of the ladies the
Signora Pena was more than holding her
own when a handicap arrived in the per-
son of the Signor Beneto Noya, her an
tagonist's spouse. In her testimony before
Police Judge Cabaniss, before whom the
Signor Noya was accused Of battery, the
Signora Pena averred that the masculine
reinforcement viciously smote her head
with a clenched fist, the blow prostrating
her, and that while she was recumbent
and semi-stunned he violently kicked one
of her neither limbs at a point above the
knee. She added that her left ear-drum
was burst by the jolt that felled her, and
vivid discolofation marked the spot where
she had been kicked
II move that testimony be stricken
out, exclaimed an attorney for the de-
tense, unless physicians certificate is
produced to support it"
'Ha, .yoh doubta ma wordr shouted the
Signora Pena, in indignant tone "Me
showa yoh queeck l telIa da truth"
'Don't9 shrieked his Honor, with head
averted from the excited witness and
hand waving restraint at her. 'It isn't
necessary. Stop it, Your word goes."
Bailiffs Carmichael and Donovan sprang
forward to enforce the courts mandate,
and Clerk Barney" Conlan leaped to his
feet with similar intent, but the lady had
resumed her seat and readjusted her
gown ere they reached her.
Beta yoh life gotta da bad keeck,"
she growled at the lawyer, who was much
perturbed by the unexpected manner in
which she had undertaken to rout his
objection. Nor did the baleful glare of
reproof directed at him from the bench
serve to restore his placidity of mind
The Signor Noya was pronounced guilty
OF battery and will be sentenced to-day.
L. Donnell was presiding in the culinary
department Of his restaurant 107 Eddy
street, at O'Clock yesterday morning
when Mons. Eugene Granzlande a chef
recently from Paris, dropped in and
ordered repast of hamburger steak and
eggs. When the viands were served he
tasted the steak most gingerly and then
complained of the cookery.

he booked them for vagrancy despite
their claim that they had been employed
by Mr.. Murray and had his permission
to utilize the cowhouse as a lodging
place. When that claim was proved cor
rect by Mr. Murray in the court of Judge
Mogan the defendants were DISCHARGED
and the policeman reproved for having
subjected them to the humiliation of ar
rest before he had assured himself that
they were vagabonds, to which the Of
fcer retorted that he had been COM
planned to by residents in the neighbor-
hood, who feared that their property
might be burned by careless or malicious
persons who slept in barns. Thereupon
the Judge thought that If less police at
tention were devoted to the arresting of
mere vagrants there might be more ar
rests for burglary and footpadry, with
which crimes the city is peculiarly af-
ficted just now. And that closed the In
cident.
Samuel Cohn, who shot James O'Brien
because that gentleman refused to paw
him $500 as compensation for the aliena-
tion of his wife's affections. was released
on $1,000 bail by Judge Mogan and will be
tried to-day on the charge of attempting
to kill. Mr.. O'Brien, who was shot in
the head and groin. is on fair way to
recovery and owes his remarkable escape
