tenced to Jail for sixty days or In lleti
to pay his family $? per week, lie

gave bond for the faithful performance
uf the court's .leere?.
Goodwin is also under indictment for
beating .'"id otherwise abusing his wife
nearly a year ago, oil which he will be
tried hi the Citcult Court this morning.
It is probable that this Charge against
him will be dismissed by .1 udgc Scott |
on the ground that It he is sent to the
penitentiary there will he no one t"
provide for lii.s wife and three children.
Mrs. Goodwin's Counsel will ask that
all other charges bo dismissed, so thut|
III may be in a position to Support his.
family.
When the case lirst came to the at?
tention of Officers of till) county arid I
city, Goodwin disappeared, leaving his
family in destitute circumstances.
Policeman Napier, of the city force,
testified that he made oho visit to the I
house, which is out beyond tliu Houlc

a call for a Joint session of the Com?

bold office until their successors are
appointed and quality, and nF there
Is no Opposition for rip re-eleetlon
of the various officials, the election
by fh" council is more 01 less pci
functory. There is a n^ht on, how?
ever, for the position of l'olli>c Coin*
inlssloner from Ctn} Ward, Clyde w.
Sauudc.ra having bftered in opposition
to the incumbent, Bmmott W. Thomas.
Ti.e ward delegation held a caucus at
teiifled h> seven out of the eight mem?
bers, and n Breed to stand by Mr.
Thomas, btit the Saunderti fores have
not given irp the tighi. and claim to
have a large vote in the Council.
In rrKa.nl to the election of the
h< ail- the various departments, it
has been suggested that action be de
fcrred, and the) bo allowed to hold
even until the Administrativ! Hoard
takes office, ori January 1 next, iiere
