George Chichester, a well-known Alex- andrian, who appeared before Mayor Simp- son a few days ago and swore off from the use of intoxicants for one year, made an ineffectual attempt last night to com- mit suicide at the residence of Mr. Thomas Sillix, where he boards. The attempt was made with laudanum. A vehicle was se- cured and he was started for the Alex- andria Infirmary, but the jolting of the vehicle seemed to have a good effect on him and before the infirmary was reached he had recovered and jumped out. Chichester said this morning that trou- bles caused him to make this rash at- tempt. Chasing Petty Offenders. The police were kept pretty busy yes- terday chasing petty offenders against the city laws, and as a consequence there was quite a number of them in the toils at police headquarters this morning. Shortly after 9 o’clock yesterday morn- ing, while Officers Knight and Lyles were in the neighborhood of Portner’s brewery, they got wind of what was believed to be a crap game, then in progress in the vi- cinity. In a short time they had swooped down on the gang and captured James Harris, Temple Carter, Dan Mason, John Green and Nat Brooks. ‘The evidence in the Police Court, how- ever, was not strong enough to convict, so they were dismissea. The following cases came up and were disposed of as follows: Sam Bundy, dis- crderly conduct and assaulting his wife, fined $2.50; Richard Williams, charged with assaulting Celia Jackson, was fined $5.00; Harry Bryant and Porter Jackson, charged with disorderly conduct and fighting, were fined $2.50 each; James Elliot, on the same charge forfeited $5 collateral; Lewis Carr, charged with being drunk and disorderly, was fined $2.50; Patrick Burnham, charged with being drunk, was sent to the work house as a vag for thirty days; Ernest Langley and John Baggott, charged with disorderly conduct, Langley dismissed and Baggott forfeited $5 collateral. The mayor ordered a warrant to be issued against Baggott for contempt. Epps Padgett, charged with drunk and disorderly conduct, was fined $2.50; Larkin Smith, charged with keeping an unlicensed dog, was ordered to take out a license. Birthday Celebration. Mr. Allen A.
