Allen, was yesterday arrested by officer Moore
and released on security to appear at curt by
Justice Shaefer. Fanny Collins for assaulting
and beating Margaret Alien, was arrested by

The Heather. There was quite an agreeable
change in the weather yesterday. In the fore
noon the sun shOne out comparatively bright
and warm; and during the entire day its influ-

with which our streets were previously cover
ed. People embraced the opportunity to clean
their pagements, and though the streets were
in many places, very sloppy, the walking was
decidedly improved.
Stealing Marketing. Two baskets, well
filled with the good things of life, were stolen
from lady at the Lexington Market yesterday
morning She had engaged nego man to car

or the baskets since. The practice of stealing
baskets of marketing from the different mar

day occurrence. Cannot our police adopt some
plan TO put stop to it!
