Petersburg. Va, Nov. 2.--The Pc
/ tersburg Police Court docket was mi
/ nus drunk this morning, perhaps
! for the first time since the office of
police justice was created some years
| ago. Not a single arrest was made
/ throughout yesterday or last night for
I drunkenness and as far as can be
! learned the officers of the law here.
! with an envious record for vigilance,
! failed 10 come in contact with a sin
gle drunk upon the streets of the
/ city
! The court docket this morning con-
sisted of two cases. one Of which was
dismissed and the other against Henry
/ Boiling, colored, charged with assault
ing q colored woman with rock.
/ resulted In convection with thirty
| day jail sentence.
The action of the City Council in
recent adjourned meetings in appro-
priating $3.50 with which to pay the
salaries of ten members Of the police
/ force, whose terms OF office expired
| october 81. until June 80 next has
! been criticised by the editor OF the
wet newspaper, by whom the item
+ has been held up before the public
as on Item of expense incurred
+ through prohibition legislation.
The wet editor did not dare be-
( fore the Council acted to voice his
oPiitoh as 10 "it"NheI '"e

Considerable Indignation has been
expressed among local citizens today
over the apparent efforts or the wet
editor to 1isCrFdif the new pr0hibi-
tion law. Ia a very recent editorial
! he ventures the assertion: There are
few houses In Petersburg in which
great deal OF llQuor is not stored,
and follows this assertion up with "of
! course the law Is violated when house
/ holders store away Iiqnor In greater
/ quantities than the prohibition law
allows, But we surmIsc that officers
1 of the law VII not undertake TO en-
/ force TINS feature ana Tor reasons
. that are obvious. Mr.. Lincoln had
no dihcuity In securing the acqu}ttal
of MS ciient charged with StealIhe
hoR. Later IL was discovered lhat
every member OF the JURY had got
