Supposed attempt to Fire the STATE Tobacco
WarehOuse Waterman Flanagan, in going
his rounds on Tuesday night about 8 o'clock,
discovered that u window of the State Tobacco
Warehouse, on Dugan's wharf, had been forced
open, md quantity Of combustbe matter
with ,oule luciter matches placed inside near
the sill. He, in connection with a lieutenant of
the watch, had it secured, and was ordered to
keep a strict lookout in that neighborhood for
the balance of the night. About IL O'Clock
the same guardian of the night saw three boys
coming down the dock, and overheard one of
them say, "I'm going down to the new Tobac-
co Warehouse; it is to be set on fire tonight,
and | want to see il burn" Whether this
was mere Jest or not, it is hard to say, but
from the circumstance of the window of the
warehouse being found open only short time
before, the watchman thought il his duty to
arrest them. FIe accordingly sprans bis rattle,
,ut the boys, being swift of foot, escaped him.
They were, however, subsequently arrested by
wo other watchmen, for disturbing the peace
n Baltimore street near Holiday, and convey
ID to the middle district watch house, and in
he morning committed to Jail by T. II. Belt,
Esq. They were brought but in the afternoon,
md had an examination before the same JUS
ice in the presence of the Mayor, at the May
or's Office, which resulted in their being re-
lured to give security in the SUM Of $500 to
keep the peace. Two gave the security, the
other was recommitted to Jail.
Serred him Right. A German named John
Lear, who lives in Strawberry alley, had a iol-
fcation at his house on Monday night, and
by the noise created from number Of instru-
nents, caused great annoyance to the neigh
>orhood, more particularly as only next door
he friends of deceased person were watching
reside his remains. About one o'clock, Lieut..
Bangs, Of the night watch demonstrated with
lin, and begged him to dismiss his company,
,ut in lieu Of complying with the request, he
rot an axe and threatened to kill him. The Off
:er, however not needing his threats, exercised
lis authority, and succeeded, after some diff
,ulty, in producing quiet state of affairs
But it did not end here, for concerning himself
igSTcTed, ne went u Tie oliice OF JUSTICE MIC
Alister on Tuesday morning, and in the most
manner, abused the officer, the JUS
ice, and in fact the whole municipal anthori-
les, for which the justice committed him to
all for "a hours for contempt, aud also held
lim to bail to keep the peace.
Caution. A young man, very genteely clad,
has been going about the city for some days,
passing upon our business men, and more es-
occially the Druggists, counterfeit five franc
pieces. He has succeeded so far in putting
1uite number in circulation, and it woald be
we'll for our citizens and business men general
y to be on their guard, and if they should re-
;eive a visit from this customer to have him Sc
cured and dealt with according TO law"
