The session at the summer school this morning was very light, the scholars mini beiiug six for drunkenness and one for assault and battery. No sentences were imposed but four were fined $3 each and two placed on probation.

Addia Mitchell, a young woman, was in for drunkenness. She pleaded i While in court, Addie's three-months-old baby was being cared for down stairs by Matron Wallace. Agent Drury said that Addie didn't take care of the child. Mrs. Clark of Itescue mission agreed to help Adilie reform and care for her baby and Addie was placed on probation.

Mrs. Kate Fife was iu court charged with assault and battery on an old man named Houston who is the husbaud of the defendant's husband's sister. this connection tbe affair must be called a family difference, for it was all in tbe family. There is considerable feeling between the parties concerned. Mrs.

Fife and her husband don't live together and last week Mrs. Fife had him in court for non-support, Mr. Houston going his bonds. On Weduesuay night Mr. Houston alleged, the defendant went to his house and called him names and struck him on the face, scratching his nose.

His son corroborated his testimony. Mrs. Fife testified that Houston and his family had made trouble between herself and her husband ever since they were married, 14 years ago. When he went her bus- hand's bonds she was angry and going to his house shook her list his face and said, "you old villian I've a mind to smash your face. This was all she did.

After this she claimed Houston's son and daughter assaulted he, tearing her cape and "making a show of her 'in the street." She had four children to support on an income of two dollars a week, her husband shedaims not contributing anything to her support. The court placed her on probation. The juvenile cases were then taken up. Henry Koberts, the boy who stole SO worth of bay trorn James Miller in Tewksbury last week, was tried this morning. Ills father had tried to settle the case with Miller, but the latter appeared to want him prosecuted.

lie was fined $10. Charles Lannon, who stole a horse from Calvin Eichardson of Dracut, was placed on trial. He pleaded cuilty. It was his first offence and owing to his extreme youth the court not inclined to be severe with him, and placed him on probation his father agreed to make him behave. Mary Sarsfield, a young girl, pleaded guilty to the chanre of being a stubborn child.

Bridget Riley, her aunt, testified that Mamie had not been behaving well of late. She had stayed out all night and was keeping company with a youth much older than herself. She was given a chance to mend her ways, being put on probation. May Moffatt and Lily Noonan, two of the smallest children yet before the court, were in for larceny of two pairs of shoes from C. A.

Mitchell. The Moffatt girl pleaded not guilty and had counsel in the person of E. D. McVey. Esq.

Several pairs of shoes alleged to have been stolen by the children were produced in court. Mr. Burbank, a clerk in Mitchell's identified the shoes. Officer Palmer found them in a cellar on Middle street, the Moffatt girl at the time, in tbe act of trj ing on a pair of the shoes, while the other had on a pair. The Moffatt girl told him that the otber put up to stealing them, while tbe Moffatt girl said that the other stole them and gave her one pair.

The trades unionists intend to two propositions before a nieftini; of the amalgamated uisious to be held day night. One will be that manufacturers be asked that a 5 per cent, reduction be made in wages instead of 10 per as was voted and, in i if tbe lower reduction be granted the weavers and other operatives i work three or four days a week i business improves. The order is that all the operatives be requested to take a voluntary vj.cj.tion from three to four weeks in duration.

Will Be Made Onite Roomy by Addition to the I'rcseut Bnildins. Workmen have begun excavating for the new extension of tiie city stables.

The new wing will run at right angles to the main stable and extend within oisrht feet of the Fletcher street yard entrance. It will be two stories high, 141 feet long, 50 feet wide and of brick. Tbero will be stalls for 50 horses on the lower floor and hay and grain will be stored on the upper. The extension will cost SGOOO according to the appropriation and it is expected to be coixi- pleted by October. Tbe uev; wing with the stable will accommodate 00 horses.

W. H. Fuller has the foundation, Contractor James bmitb tlie brick work and Supt. Bray does the carpentering which includes the roofing. It was first voted to have the carpentering and roofing done by contract.

At the next meeting it was decided that tbe superintendent should do the work. The members of the Master Builders 1 Exchange want a chance to bid on all tbe work, as was mentioned in a communication at a recent meeting of the, association. The document was not. acted upon. Condition of Job Pressmen in Boston Explained to Unemployed Commission.

Tbe commission on the unemployed is accumulating data upon which to base its report proposing a plan for helping wage earners throughout tbe state who are in enforced idleness. The hearing in Boston last evening was not very well attended. Michael Martin representing the i and job pressmen, said that there were about 1200 pressmen in the city, of which abou 300 and possib'y more, were out of work. Including the subuibs there are 291 printing offices ia Bustou, employing about 2700 pressmen. During the past year has been scarce, employers being forced to curtail expenses.

In many instances this is done by discharging competent pressmen, who have served their i at the trade, and hiring feeders, apprentices who have served one and two years as assistants. They are as "one-thirders" and according to the length of their service. Tlie business in normal years is one of tbe best, and when trade is active scarcely more than a dozen pressmen need be out ot employment. Just at present trade is very and tho workmen feel it keenly. Boston has suffered by the removal of a large amount of business formerly done here to the surrounding cities and towns, Lynn, for example, is at present printing small directories that formerly furnished Big wor) for .,00 workmen in this city.

The change is due. to the fact that work is done cheaper in the suburbs. Other testimony of a similar character was introduced and some facts were secured with reference to the cigarmaking industry. DEATHS- William II. Mead, an old resident of this city, died at 73 Worthen street, last even i aced years.

Conservatives IVon't Yield. The senate conferrees thereupon deckled to report the state of affair-, to the eoii- iatem, is servative senators, and the coufer- rees adjourned, culled Senators Biice. ami Murphy i lion. They wen; not only made acquainted the demand of the house conferrees lor free coal, but were nKo i i understand that other material conees-ions would bo eipicted by the hou-" conferees along the enure line of the bill, iiii'hiding cotuusi, met- and earthenware They decided upon an emphatic negative in reply to theie propositions, saying that if the body of tbe bill was not preserved virtually as it. passed the the report of the conference, when made, would not be accepted by the senate.

Senator Brice proposed an innovation in the shape of a proposition that the house confern-es be given an opportunity to secure free sugar His idea in detail wag that the senate conference volunteer to recede entirely from the senate sugar schedule, leaving both raw and relined susar on the free list provided in the bouse bill, and that the senate bill should be otherwise accepted in its present shape with both coal and iron on the dutiable list at the rate of 40 eent.s a ton. In urgitiK upon the conferrees, he said, it would necessarily produce one ol three results. If it bliould be declined by the hou.se coiiferreus. it would place the responsibility for the sugar duty upon them. If it should be accepted, and the seiinte should on this account refuse te adopt tho committee's report, the house conferrees would still bear tlie odium for in- sistiiiK upon ameiyiiiiff the senate bill.

"If, said, "they should accept, if s. report should be made upon lines, and if the report should be accepted by both houses and should become a law. we should all be happy." Tlie Question Not Settled. The couferrces adopted the sucpestion and presented tbe proposition to the after noon session of the conference. The proposition created some surprise on the part the house members, who at first eviiu-ed disposition to accept ir.

but after consider able discussion of rhe merits of this feat lire of the proposition and of the othe features, involving: i lie acceptance of tin otber senate amendments, declined voueli-afe an answer without further con sidermion. The question was, therefore undisposed cf when the conference ad journed for the day. The Republican senators, it is under stood, have ftiven notice tbat if There i material change in the more importan schedules relating to manufactured arti cles, they will resist tlie immediate dis position of tho committee's report, made, and have stated thai in tbat even more tariff oratory be expected.

As to the misunderstandings throughout the day, tbe house men understood when the conference adjourned Wednesday night that the senators had conceded that either iron ore or coal was to on the free list, the other remaining on tbe dutiable list.

There is a repeated demand for investment of local capital in local enterprises, and while there is a movement that way it is not yet as vigorous as it should be. An instance of tbe success of a local establishment is a furnished bf the Merrimack Clothing company Rl its annual meeting Tuesday evening. Everybody knows that tbe past year, from first 'ffi. to Aug.

first'9-1, was the quietest business year of the decade. Any establishment which sailed successfully the troubled waters of the commercial and financial sea is on a basis which henceforth will not be shaken. But that a company-a bran new concern--should make money enough to pay a dividend on its capital a condition which demands more than passing attention. A three per cent, dividend on tbe Ilrst ten month's business of the Merrimack C'lotb- ins company is a record which ought to be emblazoiied'in gold ou the walls of the boaid of trade room, as an example of "home investment. 1 Three per cenl.

dividend in bard times ought to mean IS per cent, at least in the good days i are surely comine. But success iu business requires more than an requires energetic, conservative yet progressive management, and THE SUN believes with the Merrimack t'lolhini; company's stockholders, that Manager John A. 0'IIearn deserves not a i of the credit for so line a showing.

Byrnes has (lied charges against Sergeants They i lie Itelaid with Good Material to Correspond with tho Obnrncter ot the RuildlngH Now Contract lor IJrlveu Proposed. The city hall commission and the street omuiitlee held a joint meetine last even- on to i consider the matter of aying out tbe grounds around the city hill. The i i i lias had the supervision of the arrangement and has modified tbe plans Klliot, tbe landscape gardner, the curbing is now laid upon the Merrimitek street side of the front entrance to city a to conform with the revised arrangement. It is to follow the present grade of i he lot and slope down towards Moodv stree'. As at present laid Jic i is not mure slum three inches above the" level of the walk which will need to be cut down considerably to con- orm to the new order of things.

The curbing is also to be laid on (he iioody street sitle, parallel with the sidewalk, intead of diagonally as Mr. Elliott designed, and the front on both sides of the central path will be parallel with Worthen street. It is doubtful as to whether there will be iinv improvement on the scheme of Mr. Elliott no complaints will be heard if the lot ever nssutnea tbe intended shape. The meeting last nicht was for the purpose of arraiiKing with the street com- ir.Htee to have tlie sama material for the walks upon the lot correspond with that of the sidewalks.

The mayor, Messrs. Webster, Livingston and Welch of the commission, and Aldermen Lovejoy and Stanley, CouDcilmeu Cusly, Kittredge, Noble and Robinson of the street committee were present. It is tbe desire of tbe commission to have the central walks laid out with something better than rommon brick or concrete and granolithic pavement has been under consideration. This is an artificial stone white in color made in tile shape about 15 inches square. It is more expensive than either ol the materials above mentioned, but it will be more in keeping with the character of the building.

After discussing the matter at some length the street committee agreed to leave the selection of the material to the commission and to make the sidewalks of the same material. The street committee met in seperate session and some other business was transacted. The city engineer was asked if he was ready to report upon the probable cost of the further extension of First street. He replied that he was not prepared to give any definite figures, but that in his opinion the -work would not cost less that 000. The price was considered exorbitant in view of the fact that if the city doesn't make tbe.

extension tbe Lowell and Lawrence railroad company Councilman Kittredge moved that the petitioners have leave tojwithdraw and tbe motion prevailed, Noble and Eobinson voting in the negative. Councilman Xoblc then moved that the committee recommend the paving of Jloore street, from Gorhara to Andrews streets, but as the condition of the appropriation for paving would, not admit the outlay, tbe chairman declined to entertain tie motion.
