day night, about 10 o'clock, originated near
| Georgetown. We have not learned the cause,

tween two companies, which have been for a

concerned. The interference Of the police of

burning of shed over brick kiln in the Fifth

English Hill RtOts.-Sunday evening has
been adopted by the hard ones on English
hill to settle all their disputes. Hardly a
Sunday passes that the Police and Auxiliary
Guard are not called upon to quell riots on
this we'll known place. Last night one be-
gan; the police were soon on the spot, but the
parties seeing them, scattered and hid in the
houses before an arrest was made. Father
Matthew could do more good in that locality
than the law.
Tile Markets.-Many complaints have been
made of the gangs of idle persons who loiter
in and about the markets. Country people
who bring their produce to this market for
sale are continually losing portions of what
ever is brought by them, and even parts of
their cart or wagon harness. Five little colored
boys were arrested on Saturday for stealing
from marketers. 1t should be stopped, even
if it requires the very severest means.
BosUeH y Co.'S Drug Store is capitally
situated, and we'll supplied indeed with all
wanted in their line by the residents of their
section of the island. See their advertise
ment in our columns.
Mr. Commissioner, do fill up the gullies in
Louisiana avenue between 9th street and Ju-
dietary square-do fill them up without loss
of time, MIR. Commissioner, as you value the
comfort and safety of those obliged to ride in
that vicinity
Noble YOuths.-Two young men, said to be
from Norfolk, Va, now here. came near taking
nap in the watch-house Saturday hight In
sulting females on the streets is regarded in
Washington as rather outrageous, and if they
were allowed to depart after hard begging, it
is no guaranty that they will be allowed to
get off if the offence is repeated. Visiters
should learn to behave decently
Criminal Court-This court is still en-
gagged with the trial of Jail cases The trial
of West and Sheppard Will probably be con-
cluded to-day. They are indicted for incen-
diarism.
