 Dsslllule Circumstances.

Joseph Miller was having his beauty sleep last night at his deso- late home on Simons street when a friend with a pint bottle of whiskey dropped in and aroused him. After disposing of the whiskey they had a can of beer and then the spirit moved Miller to raise disturbance, In court this morning 1t developed that there is an eight weeks old baby In the house, not thing to eat or drink, only two small pals of coal and not cent to buy more. Miller's. wife and ten years old daughter thought he could get work if he looked very hard for 1t. He was committed to jail for 30 days and the case of the family was rec commended to the attention of the board of charities.
 Tony Willie was fined $5 and costs for intoxication and Bernard Dressel who is probably the worst proposition in town when under the influence of drink, was committed for sixty days on charge of intoxi- cation and breach of the peace. Dr Dillon has been preparing Mrs Dres- sel for an operation which was to take place to-day, but last night Dressel made such disturbance that a good deal of the physicians work was probably undone by the uproar created by Dressel.
 The charge of contempt of court against the two boys Willie Bordner and Thomas Begley developed into quite case. Officers Tehan and Halpin and Captain Ramon were positive that Bordner told them 1t was Jerry Moriarty who threw down the gate on East Main street as he was running with lot of boys from the Boys club Thursday night. Bordner said he was in bed when the officers accused him and asked him who it was that threw down the gate. He told them, he said, that he did not know. He saw Mof- iarty standing against the gate but did not see him throw it dswn. Cap tain Ramon testified that yesterday Bordner told him that Moriarty threatened to lick him if he said i, was he who threw down the gate and that he was afraid of Moriarty. Still the boy insisted that while it was so Moriarty did threaten him, he told the truth. The boys aunt, Miss Condon and his father flatly contradicted the officers. Begley who is about the size of Moriarty said he was not afraid of him and that what he told the officers was that it was either Moriarty or boy named Kelly who threw down the gate. for they were the last in the crowd. Both Bordner and Begley were fined 8 and costs each.
 Peppino Fantanarsa and Maria Farino were fined $3 and costs for theft of $1 worth of coal from a railroad car.

Then Gel gole set 'em up and the order cost him fifty cents. Officers Gallagher, Kiersted and J. P. Mccarthy testified for the complaint and half dozen testified for the accused. A fine of $25 and costs was imposed on the charge of reputation. On the other he was found not guilty.
