VI. ~ pOuSCj ibN'l'--ICdI Sl--lldEll3 SCtIl
from the Baltimore papers that the funeral OF
Mr.. Paul Roux, who was brutally murdered,
had taken place on Wednesday last, and his re-
mains deposited in your family vault, where
they would remain for short time, subject to
the disposition of his friends; and as my wife
being his sister and the only relative now lv-
ing, it is her wish and that of his friends, that
the body may remain in your vault for a short
time, as we are making arrangements to have
it forwarded to be inferred in this city. A friend
leaves this city in few days for Baltimore, who
will give the necessary direction. Our warm
est thanks are due to the Odd Fellows and the
citizens of Baltimore in general, for their
promptitudc in taking charge Of the body and
giving it respectable funeral; and more espe-
cially to you, sir, for your kindness in giving
the use Of your family vault.
Respectfully yours, DANIEL RoBERTsoN.
The Commissioners. Messrs. Pitts, Barnes
and Spreckelson, who have been appointed by
the United States Senate to take testimony in
relation to alleged frauds at elections, and abu-
ses of the Naturalization Laws, met yesterday
morning in their room at the Masonic Hail.
After the issuing fsubpGnas for the Clerks of
the different Courts, the Wardens of the Peni-
Tertiary and Jail, and tie Overseer of the Aims
House, they adjourned. They will meet again
this morning at IL O'clock
,qccidcm in taking dorm the Shot Torer.-
While the workmcn engaged in taking down
the Gay street shot tower, were making some
preparatory arrangements, yesterday, at the
top Of the tower, a most irightful incident hap
pened. A person who had obtrudcd himself
upon the dome, and one of the workmen, came
near being preciptated to the ground-the
,rnr Ltn1p rpppiVn1 iniprv tb,
side of his mead in rescuing the intruder from
falling. They were both much bruised, but
neither seriously hurt A number of persons,
at the time, were crowding in and about the
tower, and some ascending to the dome, and
had the two persons mentioned fell, they
might have produced the death of others as
we'll as themselves. Persons should not VEN
ture TO loitor in the neghborhood, as the fall
ing Of some particle of material stone, &C.,
might cause serious injury; and none but those
engaged in the work, should be allowed to en-
ter the enclosures. The undertaken of this
hazardous job, Mr.. John Hardtner, it will be
seen by advertisement, forbids all sach intru-
slons; and we feel assured he will spare no pains
to accomplish his undertaking in so skiltul
manner as to prevent injury to those employed
in taking down the tower.
Bad Dogs. We hear much complaint Of two
large dogs, that greatly endanger the safety of
persons in the neighborhood of East Pratt and
High streets. 1t is fact that many persons
owning dogs allow them too much liberty, and
we hope the law will be brought to bear upon
them, for the protection of the public.
Disturbing Congregations. Hezekah Tho
mas and Basil Johnston, (colored,) for fighting
before the Bethel Church, in Saratoga-st., on
Sunday night, were arrested by Lieut.. Brown,
and taken to the Middle District watch house.
Edwin Mckinley, for disturbing the peace in
front of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in
Highest, on Sunday night, was, together with
the above committed to JAIL in default of Sc
curity, yesterday morning, by VIM. A. Schaef-
fer, Esq,
Collection. We learn that the exercises with
the dedication of the Methodist German cha
on Sabbath last, were of highly interesting
character, and that excellent Choir connected
with the Light street Church, were present, and
contributed by their talents to the pleasure of
the service in the afternoon. The collections
and subscriptions amounted to the snug sum of
$50.
Warning to Boys. Yesterday afternoon,
about 5 o'clock, as the hose carriage of the
New Market fire company was passing down
Lexington-st., and when near the corner of
Howard, small boy, aged about IL years,
who had hold of the rope, slipped and FELL the
carrioge passing over his right ANGLE. The
boy was carried into the office of DR.. Chap
man, who promptly rendered him every aid
1t was found, upon examination, that no bones
were broken, yet the ankle was considerably
bruised. Let this act as warning to all boys
who are in the habit Of running with our fire
companies.
Bad Boys. The good citizens in the neigh
borhood of South Paca and Warner streets, are
greatly annoyed by the assembling of indecent
and noisy boys. viii the Police look to theme
