DEATH OF ABE, THE AMERICAN NEGRO JOCKEY.
—The famous negro jockey Abe is dead, and we
regret to have to make that announcement. He had a
splendid seat, fine judgment of pace, immense resolution,
and patience, and wonderful vigour in his finish. He would
bring them in the last few strides with a split of the whip
that could be heard all over the course, when they required
it. He was raised on the estate of Duncan F. Kenner,
on the banks of the lowef Mississippi, and rode a long
time for him. One of his most brilliant things was on
Panic, by Glencoe, when he beat Lightning, three-mile
heats. Abe made his first aepearance in the neighbour-
hood of New York in the first Jersey Derby, when he rode
Tipperary, and was second to Norfolk, and since then
owners have been eager to secure his services whenever
they could do so. Mr. M'Grath looked out for Abe's pecu-
niary interests, the latter being but little more than a child
in relation to anything but horses. He was a lad, or rather
a man, of few words, and had an impediment in his speech.
Once, when the judges decided a dead heat, when to every-
one else it seemed that Abe's horse, Loadstone, won by a
neck, he exclaimed, " Y-y-you must wi-wi-wi-win by two
lengths here, or else they c-c-ca-can't tee it!"—W'ilkees

THIEVES AT RAILWAYS—AN OLD PRACTITIONER.
Mary Jones, a fashionably-dressed woman, about 35 years
of age, was charged with having, in company with another
woman, who had escaped, - been at Victoria-station with
intent to commit felony.
Mrs. M'Gregor, the wife of a railway contractor, said
that at five o'clock last evening she was on the platform
of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, Victoria-
station, going to Clapham. She had £2 10s. in a purse in
her dress pocket, where she found the prisoner's hand.
Prosecutrix had by accident got into the wrong train. She
was in a first-class carriage, and, although prisoner had
only a third-class ticket, she came into the same carrriage,
and kept getting nearer and nearer to her ; and when she
was changing for the right train, the prisoner threw her-
self in front of her, and she felt her hand in her pocket,
and saw her take it out. She stumbled and tread upon her
dress at the moment, which induced her, as prosecutrix
supposed, from fear of detection suddenly to withdraw her
hand, leaving to the purse.

Prisoner—Positively this lady is mistaken. I came up
and might have pressed
edymouydtstnaokte'say my hand was in
when the train was in motion, and in my haste got into a
first-class carriage instead of a third. I was getting out
awghaeinnstlthdiissclaodvyer. your
pocket when you first spoke about this last night. Did
you, missis (addressing prosecutrix)?
Prosecutrix—l did. 1 saw your hand in my pocket,
and so did the guard.

The guard in question said he weal to the 5.5 train,
which goes into the City, to examine the tickets, and asked
prisoner to produce hers. She had not got it, but a friend
who was with her produced two third-class tickets for
Moorgate-street. Witness asked her if she did not know
the difference between a first and third class carriage, when
prisoner, who was next to prosecutrix, said that another
friend intonded to pay the difference of faro at the end of
the journey. He told them they must leave the carriage
at once ; and at the same time the prosecutrix did, she
having by mistake got into the London and Dover train
instead of the Loudon and Brighton to go to Clapham.
Both prosecutrix and prisoner left the carriage at the same
instant, and ha saw the prisoner with her left hand in
prosecutrix's pocket.
Mr. Sella —Had you seen the prisoner before ?
. .

Witness—She and her friend had before this been in a
first-class carriage where there was a single lady. Then
they got in where prosecutrix was.
Mr. Sella —What became of the other?
Witness—She escaped.
Prisoner—This is quite a mistake.
Mr. Selfe—Where is your friend ?
Prisoner—She was no friend of mine.
Mr. Selfe—Sho had your ticket.
It was stated that there had been several convictions
against the prisoner.
10t31
I She was remanded.

THAMES.

ROBBERY ON BOARD Slur. - John Skinner, the ship-
keeper of a vessel called the City of Adelaide, lying in the
London-dock, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged
with stealing six ounces of tea, a quantity of metal, two
boxers of entrclineo, and other property.

Yesterday evening the prisoner vas stopped as ho was
leaving the dock by a constable, who found in his pockets
six ounces of tea and same brass tubing, which he said he
had picked up. He was detained, and he then said that
the steward of the ship City of Adelaide gave him the tea
and the metal. The constable discovered that the brass
tubing had been torn from the walls of the cabin. On
searching the prisoner's berth in the forecastle two boxes
of sardines and several tins of preserved food were dis-
covered, which lad been taken from the ship's store-room.
Charles Young, ceok and acting steward of the City of
Adelaide, said the tea produced bad never been in the
ship, and he never gave anything to the prisoner.
Mr. Partridge fined the prisoner 40s. for the unlawful
possession of the tea and metal found upon him.

THE GREAT EASTERN.--MEETING OF THE
CREDITORS.--A private meeting of the creditors of
the Great Eastern Steamship Col:ninny on account of the
French charterers, was held on Monday, in the Law
Association Rooms, Liverpool. The position of affairs
would appear to bo even worse than heirs hitherto been
represented. It was stated that the French company had
disbursed £93,000, that their liabilities were £153,000, and
that there assets might be taken at £33,000. It should be
understood, however, that Messrs. Forrester's claim was
£51,000 ; that they have a lieu on a portion of the fittings
on board valued at £22,000. The meeting considered—
first, whether or not the charter to the French company
was a regular one ; and secondly, whether or not the
Great Eastern Steamship Company Lad a right to invest
in Messrs. Forrester any preferential claim. The credi-
, tors will most probably get 6s. Bd. in the pound only, and
that after considerable delay. An agent of the French
company, who was to have met the creditors last week,
has, it was stated, not come forward with an explanation,
or, in .act, had an interview with the creditors at all.
LORD GLASGOW'S AUTOGRAPH.- —We take the
following anecdote from the turf items furnished to the
American Turf, Field, and Fares by its London correspon-
dent :—" The mention of Lord Glasgow's name reminds
me of an amusing anecdote of his lordship, which he him-
self tells with great gusto. Some short time ago he had
occasion to travel from London to Glasgow, and on taking
his ticket at the booking-office of the railway station ten-
dered a £lO note in payment. Befor3 giving change the
cle)k, in accordance with the usual custom, requested him
to endorse the note with his name, and on his lordship's
complying with the mandate, and returning the note to the
official, the latter, after a contemptuous glance at the sig-
nature, ' Glasgow,' tossed it back to the owner, exclaiming
indignantly, with the air of a man whose time was too
precious to be trifled with, Put your own name to it, and
not the name of the place you want to go to, you old
fool !' The denouement, as the penny novels have it, is
e
better inaaghaed thau described.
