ASMAL POLICE REPORT.
Less Arrests In 1805 Than During tho
Proecdlng Year,
It will he a source of gratification to
Riiantonluns to learn that in addition
to the fact that this city is growing
healthier as It grows larger, as shown
by figures In yesterday's Tribune, It is
also growing morally healthier, as the
subjoined tables and comparisons will
show.
That there should be a decrease In
crime last year as compared with the
year previous is remarkable, but a fact,
nevertheless. In 1894, according to
Chief yimpson's report, there were 2,174
arrests, in 18y5 there were 2.045, a de
crease or 129. Drunkenness and Its at
tendant crimes, disorderly conduct and
fighting, which constituted the greater
part ot trie ortenses, also showed a
marked decrease. In 1804 these of
fenses numbered 1,406 and last year
they dropped to 1,268. The fines collect
ed In police court, which are also a Rood
criterion by which to Judge the moral
pulse of the city, show a falling off of
about 20 per cent.
The following table will show more
vividly the comparisons.
