American Republican and Baltimore daily clipper. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1844-1846, 1846-10-22

S'itth jOi tNe cope. VIC ltAIu Nllht u III"
project has been started under favorable auspi-
ces, to bring milk to the city, on the Baltimore
and Susquehanna Rail Road. A car has been
prepared in which cans are placed, and the
milk thus safely conveyed 10 the city, is dis
trDuted by wagons to the various families who
patrouize the establishment, The milk is OBJ
tanned principally in the vicinity OF York, Pa,
where II can he purchased at very low rate,
enabling the prOprietors to rc-sclIitn Baltimore
at lower price than any other milk establish
meats. About 800 gallons are brought down
| daily, which we consider very fair supply for
a beginning. Large quantities OF milk are daily
! brought on the railroads into Boston, n. York,
and Philadelphia, and the mode Of conveyance
is certainly as accessible around Baltimore, as
any other city. Farmers are thus enabled to
dispose o. Their milk at fair rates, which they
had previously been compelled to use at home,
and it will if the plan is continued, cause many
dairy farms to spring up along the lines of our
various railroads.
Fire. The alarm of fire on Tuesday night,
about o'clock, was caused by the discovery of
smoke and flames issuing from the two.story
| brick building, on the west side of HoWard-st.
: one door south of Mulberry-st. , and occupied
as clothing store and dwelling by Mr.. John
Cooke. The fire originated in the store, near
the front door, and is supposed to have been
the work of an ncendiary. The damage done
to the goods was but trifing, and are fully in
sured. The building Is the property of wi
dow lady, whose name we could not learn, and
received but slight injury. The prompt arri-
val Of our fremen, and activity of the neigh
bors, e1tinguished The flames before they had
q. got much Roadway.
Burglary. The following remarks we find
4 Al. y. l. = i
day night: "Watchman Hubbard, in making
his 10 O'Clock round, heard a noise in David
Stew3rLS warehouse, on Allison alley; and in
going to ascertain the cause, observed negro
man endoavoring to escape. He knocked him
down several times and sprung his rattle, but
the negro being a very powerful man, made his
escape. He left about 500 pounds of sugar in
bags behind him. The thief made all entrance
through the sky-Gght in the roof-thc house be.
ing only one story high
Ro65ng the La,oycr5. The thieves about
town are "gong it with perfect rush" They
are not content with robbng stores and dwell
lings, but have taken peculiar fancy to the
signs over the doors of tho lawyers Offices in
the vicinity of the Court House, several Of
which have been taken off within the last few
nights. 1t may be that these feats are perform
ed through sporl, on the part of thoughtless or
mischievous individuals; be this as it may, we
would caution them to beware. A trap has
been set for them.
City Court. The following cases were dis.
posed OF before this Court yesterday: Neal
O'Donnell, indicted for keeping a disorderly
house, guilty, and fined $40, with costs
Samuel Deran, also inflicted for keeping a
disorderly house, was declared not gully, and
Francis )pylin
costs.-On account of the absence of wit !
nessos, no other business was transacted. The |
case Of the negro Alexander, indicted for muir
der, will probably come up on Friday. The
Court adjourned until this morning.
County Court. The case of Riggs, Peabody
& Co., VS.. Jno. Easter, of John, was in con-
tinuation before this tribunal yesterday.
% The Recent Robberie,. The vicinity of this |
city appears TO be infested again with most
daring gang Of burglars. The dwellings of a
number Of gentlemen have been entered, and
every variety Of articles carried off. We learn
that the person whe robbed the house Of JOS.
| Pearson, Esq, on the Liberty road, is thought
to be one ofthe escaped burglars from the Jail.
II they have actually gone to their old employ
in Riis region again, they are certainly the
bodest thieves that have ever visited u.s. In !
robbing the Hon. John Wethereds dwelling,
at franklin Works, they killed large and
valuable dog, and carried the goods off in a
wagon.
The Remains Of Col. Watson. We under
stand that Mr.. jobs Hughes, Cabinet maker
B nd street, Is engaged in making fine black .
walnut coffin to be sent to Monterey for the re- |
mains of the gallant Watson; and that Mr.. Ed |
ward Dorsey, Thames street, is having con-
structcd lead one TO be placed inside. Both
these gentlemen have in the most praiseworthy .
manner, offered to make the collins without
any charge whatever After being completed .
they will be sent to New Orleans, by Green s. .
Co.'S Express, who, we also learn will accept of
no remuneration for the transportation.
Run Orsr. A little girl, the daughter Of a
gentleman living in Conway street, while re-
turning from school yesterday morning be-
tween twelve and one O'Clock, and when in the .
act Of crossing Baltimore street at Charles St.,
was run over by lerson on horseback who .
was riding at quite rapid rate, and eonsdera-
bly, injured in various parts of her body. She
was carried home in the arms of an elderly
lady, who was a witness to the accident. For
tunately no bones were broken. We could not
ascertain the names of the parties.
