Gen. La Yega .4rrired. Yesterday afternoon,
a regular Native American made his appeal
ance in Baltimore street, dressed in military
coat, striped pantaloons, and cap made some
where among the aborones. He was accom-
panied by two suckers" who appeared to be
rather "In for il, ;" and whose company he did
not appear to relish very much He was tall,
stout built, very dark complicated, and sin
coulse," the boys said he was Genl La Vega
among the Phlistines. A juvenile crowd form
! ed an escort for bin, and when he arrived at
South street, he made halt, and wished to
take a side cut and get out Of the way, but his
assiduous friends over-petsuaded, or rather,
overhaued him down Baltimore street The
stranger, who was a regular line Indian, had
money, and per consequence, had friends, two
of whom were taking the trouble TO show him
the elephant around town.
I Quite a Scene. On Thursday afternoon a
gentleman drove up IN hack, to CONNECTION
airy establishment in Old Town and alightinr
with u lady, went in to take glass of ice
cream. Scarce, however, had they passed the
door-sill, when another lady, who claimed a
prior right to the gcntleman's attentions, closed
! the door, and then told the company present
the perfdy ofthe man, whom she said was her
''liege lord" Having taken full satisfaction,
she put the ntruding lady out the door, and
told her to "make tracks, at the same time
forcing her husband nOtens uotenS, into the hack,
and taking him home. We guess she gave
him ice cream with poker, when she got him
in her lawful territory and dominions again
1t iUere a very affecting scene, especially to the
husband!
Another Defender Gone. The "Association
OF Defenders of Baltimore in 1914, j." turned out
Yesterday afternoon to attend tho funeral of
their late comrade, Mr.. James Lewis, from his
residence in Potter street, near Gay. Thus
one by one, is this band of patriots departing to
that "boarne from which no traveller returns.
Released on Security, Joseph Finley, color
ed, whose arrest we Motlced few days since,
on the charge of marrying second wife, his
first being vet alive, was further examined yes
terday before Justice Showacre. The evidence
being pretty strong as to Joseph's guilt, he was
held to bail in the sum of $500, to appear at the
city court in September, and answer the charge.
So much for going into the matrimonial line in
wholesale way.
Brutal. James Gibson, charged with ma
king brutal assault upon a colored woman
named Ann Lee, while in delicate situation,
was arrested yesterday by officer Ray and COM
mtted to Jail to appear at court by Justice
Ridgely. The poor woman is very severelyin
iured, and is lying in quite critical condition.
We trust that he will receive from their honors,
the Judges of the city court the utmost rigor of
the law.

shop of Clamptt s Register, in Holiday street,
caved in yesterday morning with great crash.
1t was caused by the digging of an adjoining
