STANDING BEFORE CRATE

Bessemer, December 3O.-(SpeciaL)- L)-All records in the police court for Monday were broken this moinIng when it was found that there were only four cases to be tried, and these were for minor of fences. The charge of being drunk was the most serious that was lodged against any of the prisoners.
 These four cases are the result of the police departments work from Saturday morning until this morning, and it speaks particularly we'll for the officers in charge. The four that did appear before his honor certainly looked the part. They looked as if they had been up against the real thing for month instead of a day. His honor stated that inasmuch allow ances had to be made for every one at this time he would not be very severe on them and they could consider them selves fined $60 and costs each.
 By this means it is thought that the city will be in position to pay some of the current bills when they commence to pour in around the first of the month.
