Charles S. Hutchinson, of 121 Lang
stalt avenue, had Joseph Dudeck and

Norris, and there spending all his pay.
On Monday he went there as usual, but

In, and as he was about to empty a
schooner of beer she attempted to take
the glass away from him. At this
juncture a woman, whom she supposed
was Mrs. Norris, ran up to her and
grabbed her by the hair, knocking- her
flown and pulling her towards the door.
Norris then appeared on the scene and
helped this woman throw the prose
cutrix out, hence the arrest. '
At the hearing- yesterday afternoon it
developed that the woman in the case
was not Mrs. Norris, as she was sick
in bed at the time, so the case against
her was discharged. Norris was held
In $200 ball. During the progress of the

ols arrested, on the charge of breaking

Billy, the Goat.
William Null, of Meridian street, Is

picnic that was held at Nay Aug park
a few weeks ago. Tho goat afforded
much amusement at the time on ac
count of his butting proclivities nnd
the fnntustlc manner in which the boys
had arrayed him.
The goat must hnvo been noticed
particularly by some one, for a few
dnys after the picnic he was stolen from
the barn in the rear of Null's home.
A search warrant was Issued to Con
stable John Davis, who found the long
lost "billy" In the possession of a
gentleman on Price street, who said he
bought the goat of John Graham, of
Hennessy's court, who brought it to his
home and offered to sell it for fifty
cents, on account of the strike, he
(Graham) claiming to bo the lawful
owner of tho nforesald goat.
Constable Davis arrested young Gra
ham, but tho owner of the goat failed
to appear ns prosecutor, he being sat
isfied to have the goat In its own barn
again.
A Boast of Chicken.
Sunday night, Hugh Smith, an em
ploye of John Eenore & Sons, the lum
ber dealers of Scranton street, was on

ly climbing the pile he saw a number
of boys, who had a fowl nicely dressed
and ready for roasting. They hud a
pan and also a nice little Are.
Hugh knew that Thomas Loney, of
Soutli Seventh street, had missed chick
ens recently, and ho went to call him.
When they returned the boys had evi

appeared. It is said the boys are
known and warrants are likely to bo
issued for their arrest.

A SLEEPING PREMIER.
Stories of Lord North's Drowsy Mo
ments in Parliament.
Lord North was the sleepliin parlia
mentarian of the eighteenth century.
Ho was forever yawning In the faces
ot members and their speeches. Black
and White says nf him that Indignant
orators were constantly complaining
of his refusal to listen to them, and lie
was never at a loss In subjecting them
to tho further humiliation of a sharp
retort.
"liven now In these perils tho noble
lord Is asleep!" burst forth an angry
member of the opposition, and Lord
North awokn in time to murmur, "I
wish I wero!"
Again ho said to another grumbler,
"Tho physician should never quarrel
with hlH own medicine,"
To n speaker who Impeached him of
all sorts of crimes and called attention
to his dozing through the attack Lord
North rejoined:
"It Is cruel to deny me tho solaco
enjoyed by other criminals Unit f u
night's rest before they meet their
fate."
Tho best story of the sleepy premier
Is that connected with a peer wluv
bored parliament with a history of
shipbuilding from tho time of Noah and
his ark. North begun dossing at tho
mention (if the aik anil slept until the
speaker reached the Spanish urmudii.
Then a colleague woke him.
"Where are we no(W" asked North,
"In tho regln of Queen ICIIzabeth,"
"Dear, dear!" exclaimed tho prlmo
minister, "Why don't you let met sleep
a century or two moroY"
