In police court yesterday there was a light grist. There were live follows brought in together , as they had boon found hanging about otjo of the railway yards.

The colored man Winters , who was caught going through a saloon on Main .street , was on his arrival recognized as having been there before. Ho had served four years for a like oll'ense , so he docs not enter upon his second and shorter term as a novice. Carbee , the dashy drum major , looked qiiitu dillerontly wjitli his close shave and checkered clothing , from when he "marched that Hroadway down , " with his bearskin hat , his bright adorn ments and gaily tossing his baton. Ho was given a job In the chair factory. On the trip to Ft. Madison ho lost none of his assurance , and did not quail even when ho readied the iron doors which shut linn out of the world , and separates him from the bride to whom ho was wedded through the bars , and with whom he has not yet been permitted to live eve : : one day. It was a surprise to the Council Hind's ollicer to find "Humpy" Anderson there as a convict. Scarcely two months ago Humpy was prowling about this eity as usual , doing all soils of sneak thievery , and was arrested for stealing several joints of stove pipe , that being as near to taking a red hot .stove as he eottlu come. He had since then got taken for going through a store in Crawford county , aim has at last got where lie has belonged for years. The young man , O'iirien , who burglar ized Mr. Stork's house , and also went through Mr. Phillips' residence , was let oil very easy by Judge Deemer , who gave htm only eighteen months. A strong ap peal was made in his behalf , it being claimed that he was a hard worker , sup porting a widowed mother , etc. , and that Im trot into the scrape when so drunk that ho did not reali/.e what he was doing. There lias been some pity for tlio Doling man , but when ho entered the peniten tiary ho was immediately recognized as a young man who had been there before. He had been sent there for a burglarv committed iuar ; the home of Judge Deemer. who seni fenced him for his ollenso hero. The judge had forgotten the occurrence , as he was not on the bunch at that time. Had it been called to his attention the young man would probably have got a much heavier sentence , and not boon able to so touch thu heart of the human judge. When the black "Texas , " Hichard Haker , entered the penitentiary , Cull' Johnson , another colored inmate from Council IHulVs , could not but "give him the laugh , " with the remark : "Texas , you know you ought to have boon hero before , but I knew you were coming. " The swarthy wife ot Texas , Mrs. Baker , was also sentenced to I'ort Madison. Judge Deonier's attention was called to the fact that no women were received there , but that she would have to betaken taken , to Anamosa , but ho thought this was a mistake , and so ordered the woman taken to the same prison as her husband. The sheriff1 followed directions , therefore , but on arriving there found that she could not bo admitted. She was there fore brought back , and is now in the jail here , awaiting transportation to Ana mosa. Captain O'Brien had her for a traveling companion , therefore , both ways on the trip. Judge Deomer chanced to be going out homo on the same train which bore the prisoners to Fort Mad ison , and on returning hu chanced to get onto the same train , and found that Mrs. Maker was being brought back for a fresh start. m Tlio Ctinutniuiin. ] The week has been ono of progress in the Chautauqua assembly enterprise. The work of securing subscriptions has been more dillicult than it should have eon , in view of the worthiness of the nteruriso. Still in such a move it is occssary to explain fully wli.it the as- embly is to bo , and what it will ucconi- lish. Many who were at lirst hike- varm are now very enthusiastic , and it s believed that so soon as the public can o made fully acquainted with the value f the move , there will bo many generous upportors. Over half of the necessary imotiut has boon secured , and : ho rest , vill bo forthconing without doubt. ; Another meeting is to bo hold nevt Tuesday evening in the Presbyterian linrch. There will bo good music by ilessr.s. Tulloys and the Hadollct brothers , , vith Mi.s-i \ \ estcott as organist. Several nteresting speakers have been secured uid it is hoped that the public generally ivill respond to the invitation to bo pres- jnt. Tun enterprise is ono which will ; ) rove of advantage to every property ; > wnor and resident of this city , and as uieh should at least be given the time necessary to got a full understanding of ts importance. With such an under- lauding the question of finances will be 'cry easily determined. The Deinourntlc Delegates.

It was a double header. In re-ponsu to Iho pub lished rail there was a large gathering at , W. H. Wai'o's-oiHeo. It was evident that the lUlair w s cut , though not dHcd , , J.udgoJaiucappeared 'long enough to cot it started his way , and when ft began to bo too hot ho "lipped out , leaving \ \ are and Kd , Trotitman to carry out llic plan. Ware was made chairman and W. S. Williams secretary. Trotitman moved to have a committee of three ap pointed to sclent eleven delegates. The crowd would not submit to this , nnd it. W. Whittlcsoy moved as an amendment thai they ballot for delegates. The amendment was evidently carried by an overwhelming ro.ir of voices. NViiro declared it lost. Then Troiitman's mo tion was nut. Thcro was another thun dering of "noes , " but the chairman declared Iho vote carried. Ho named as the committee : K. A. Troutman , James Madden , W. S. Williams. That committee reported ns delegates : W. II. M. Pusoy. John Shoentgon , W. C. James , W. II. Ware , James Madden , J. W. Peregoy , E. H. Bowman , Martin Hughes , A. T. Klwell , J. K. Cooper , W. S. Williams. There were several calls for a division of the House , but Chairman \ \ are refused to entertain such requests , The justifi cation claimed was that , there were many in the room who belonged to a labor organization , and were not there strictly as democrats , and they had. no right to vole. There was a wild scene for the few minutes the caucus lasted , aud hoi words. R. AV. Whittluscy and J. 11. Dicdnch were the chief spokesmen for the ma jority , while Judge Robinson was en- thu.siastic for W-iro and Troutman. A motion was made to have W. H. Ware the ward committeeman for I lie coming year. Hu being in the chair , with re freshing modesty , after his previous peculiar rulings , asked Secretary Wil liams to put thu motion , it was .so overwhelmingly losl that \ \ illiams even declared it lost , : ind in thu contusion thai followed Wliiltlesoy moved that as they could gel no fair play llie democrats of Ihu Fourth ward should go to Snydor's warerooms and there hold a caucus. The crowd rushed otil for that place , leaving Ware , Troutman and two or threu others alone. On gathering in the wareroom J. K. Dicdriuh was made chairman , and George McPeek secretary. The causes of grievance were stated , and thu crowd selected the following Mvnster , J. G. Tiplon. For ward eommiltueman W. H. Reed was chosen. A petition and statement of facts was drawn up for the signature of those pres ent , to be presented to the convention. The contestants claim that they do nol object lo tlio gentlemen chosen in the lirst caucus as delegates , but the manner in which they wore selected.

WASHINGTON" , Oct. 1. ( Special Telegram to the HKII.J A gentleman who lias had several years experience in the diplomatic service predicts that if anything comes out of the fisheries commission it will bo to tlio disadvantage of the United States , bald ho to-night : "Tho British have selected as members of this commission three of their most experienced diplomats. Joe Chamber lain is looked upon as the most Rhrowd and blimp politician in British politics to-day. \Vo have in the United States only ono man lit tocopo with him , and that man Is James ( } . HIaino. Ho can beat any or all the Amer ican commissioner ) ) In point * of diplomacy. Sir John McDonald Is looked upon , too , as the shrewdest man in Canadian politics. Tim United States commissioners were so- Iccted Irom the poorest possible material. While Mr. Angoll might have been able to negotiate a treaty years ago , ho has been burled In a university tor joars and Is not posted in diplomacy to-day. Mr. Putnam Is a fairly able lawyer , but by no means 0110 ol the tir.st rank , lie cannot prove other than a mcro tyro in the hands ot "Urummagen Joe. " as Chamberlain is termed. Hayard has shown how llttio he knows of the tieaty- maklng art. and besides ho is as deaf as a post. If , therefore , anything at all comes of this meeting , it will cettalnly be to the ad vantage. of the Hritlsli , Fortunately , how ever , the United States senate will have the power to nullify any action which the com mission may take.
