THE POLICE COURT. Coal Thieves Fined by Judge Peasley
 This Morning.

Coal thieves occupied the greater part of Judge Peasleys time in the city court this morning. It seems that the railroad company has been losing hundreds of tons of coal and despite every effort of the railroad officers it was very difficult to catch the thieves. Yesterday two arrests were made. in consequence of which Mrs Angelina DeZinno was fined $7 and costs for theft of SIP worth of coal. In this case the officers testified the woman and her friends stole about two tons of coal. In the other case Michael Maestran0 was commit- ted to Jail for fifteen days for theft of three bags of coal. This man had his 14-years-old daughter take the coal.
 Michael Walsh was fined $10 and costs for breach of the peace and in- Charles Kelley was fined $10 and costs also for intoxication. and for making disturbance at his home and intoxication Charles Han rahan was fined $5 and costs and given thirty days in jail.
