MAYOR’S COURT. a Few Punishment Meeted Out to Sunday Sinners. The mayor had several old chronic offenders before him yesterday morn ing—some who had “been there be fore many a time.” Sol Camp and A1 (alias “Peg”) Pet ty, two young colored sports who had nothing else to do, had engaged in a little “disorderly conduct” for pas time and amusement, and thus got the privilege of making their regular weekly visit to the city court room. Peg returned from his honor’s pres ence to mingle again with his brother sports, but Sol was not so fortunate, as he was required to contribute $2.50 in cash to the city treasury or five days’ laWor to the city’s streets. Being in a state of chronic “financial embarrassment,” he is now “doing something he has never done before” —he is working. Golden Smith, (whose name is by no means indicative of his color) and Randolph Wood, two more colored "bloods,” whose physical powers were also in dire need of healthy exercise, had indulged themselves in a little pugullstic bout, which was somewhat more spirited than artistic, and which was put down on the docket as "fight ing.” Mayor Gaffney cooled the ar dor of the combatants by requiring them to fork over $2.50 each or take five days’ exerise with the city street force. Of course they paid the two- fifty, though where the money came from is one of those mysteries pecu liar to their race only. The third case on docket, was a plain, ordinary, every-day drunk, without the usual trimmings of “dis orderly conduct,” &e. The imbiber of the “purely chemical" failed to put in ids apeparance, and thereby for feited his bond. George Jefferies, colored, was the last on the mourner’s bench, to do penance for having acted tin hog by taking on enough "blue steel" for two or three ordinary men and celebrating the Sabbath by a regular old flop eared drunk. The mayor put the fin ishing touch on his jag by yanking a dollar out of ids jeans—though how the dollar came to be there is beyond the comprehension of mortal man. But it was ever thus, as everv one knows. These gents of leisure who are never known to have a nickel, al ways manage to “pay out” when they are hauled up for some violation of the city ordinances. ^ PISO S CURE FOR M 4 In time.
