CITY INTELLIGENCE.

.frreSi Of "Nipper" and "TIW' ThiereS Tht
active firm Of Eel, Ridgely & Cook, on Wed
nesday night, arrested a young man, calling
himself James Brink, Oh the charge of robbint
Mr.. William Hobliizel, Of Cumberland, Md.
Of S35 in money, at the "Globen hotel, cone
Of Baltimore and Howard streets. He entered
the room of Mr.. H., by means of pair o
"nippers, " and took the money out of the peck
ct of pair Of Pantaloons, but luckiyllel thu
largest "grab," there being some 5000 in the
same pocket, which he missed. He was seer
when caught and "frisked" by the officers, the
money was found in his possession, Brink was
dressed in the full ''swell" fashion, and was
"pulled" at one of the fashionable hotels, where
he had removed after the above depreciation
Justice Duvall, No. Is Mercer street, fully
committed him for trial.
The same officers, on Wednesday night, ar
rested two genteel looking young men, named
John Penny, alias Sembler, and George Hess;
in Pratt street, on the charge of robbing the
"till" of 7. 7. Tucker & Bro, Lottery and
Exchange Dealers, at the corner of Baltimore
street and Marsh Market Space, on Wednesday
afternoon, of between $50 and $50 in money.
1t appears that they went into the office, and
one decoyed the lad who stays there, to the
door, while the other used the opportunity to
slip behind the counter, and "raise" all the mo-
ney that was in the till. When arrested, which
followed so quickly on the depreciation, the
whole amount of money was found upon them,
and Immediately identified. One note espe-
clally, which was 81 note on the Lancaster
County Bank, Pa, altered to $40, will be
sufficient evidence to give them a close shift
for the pententiary. They were also fullv
committed for trial, by Justice Duval.
Not Bad-Go il Boots. In the 9th ward, one
of the political parties had, what is familiarity
termed coop" previous to the mayoralty
election on Wednesday, in which were Gagged
some IL or fifteen hard cases of voters, whom it
was not considered safe to permit at large, for
fear their opponents might come across the
"feemen,' and persuade them to vote contrary
to their principles. The cooped gentry were in
a room, in which there was not sufiiciency of
seats, and they made complaint, swearing they
would not stand such treatment any lonUer.-
The proprietor not having any chairs to give
them, tumbled large box Containing dozen
PAIR of new boots, which, being shoemaker.
he had just finished to send away OH an order, !
into their room, and told them to use it for a
seat, and being large enough, would accommo-
date half dozen of them. This contented
them, but 10! in the morning, when he went in
TO the room, to see how these independent vo-
tiers were fareng, he found twelve Of them rgg-
ed out in pair of new boots, each, having bro
ken open the box and made free with the con-
tents. This was a dilemma the politicians
who had them in charge, did not anticipate; it
would not do to take the boots away by force,
for fear OF offending them, and thereby losing
their votes, and it was rather a large bill for
the party to foot. 1t created considerable diff
Guilty indoors, and plenty of merryment outside,
wherever ii was known, but how it was settled
we could not learn. 1t was Jootless party
when cooped, but as boot is always gwen ia
election times, we don't see much harm in the
above appropriation" if thereby their homes
" did stick in "fcet."
