A MONUMENT TO WOODRUFF AND MCLEOD.
We understand that Mr.. I. Placide has volun-
teered the use of his theatre and the services of
his excellent company, for any night which may
be selected by the friends of the project, to aid
in raising 8 fund for the erection of suitable
monument in memory Of Daniel s. Woodruff and
William Mcleod, the brave firemen who lost
their lives at the fire on Thursday morning last.
The generosity of the offer will not astonish those
who know Mr. Placide, and it cannot fail of
being appreciated by the public.
JAMES WILLIAMS AGAIN.--This Juvenile ras-
cal, who, it may be remembered, was arrested
some days ago on q charge of having picked d
lady's pocket at the Lake, and who was dis
charged in consequence of no prosecutor appear
ing against him, was again arrested night be-
fore last by the officer employed at the St
Charles Hotel, who charges him with having
stolen the sum of $175. His trunks were
searched, and duplicates of drafts to the amount
of 1900, which had been transmitted to per-
son named Mccoy, in Birmingham, Cor g Brum-
magem," as the boy calls it3 England, were
found. These he denies all knowledge of, and
declares that if any such papers were found in
his trunks they must have been placed there by
some person for the purpose of getting him into
scrnpe. He is at present in the lookup of the
First District. When this little chap was re-

offices of the different morning papers of the
city, and stated that his standing in society as
an honest gentleman, together with his personal
feelings, had been much injured and outraged
by sundry articles that had appeared in relation
to his arrest, and he desired that the affair
should be properly represented to the public,
that the stain upon his character might be re-
moved and his name freed from the reproach
cast upon it. In fact, if our memory be good
he succeeded in obtaining the amende honorable
from one Of our brothers, in very choice and
direct TERMS and will without doubt seek it
again if he is fortunate enough to escape this
time. What can be thought Of q boy who has
graduated in the science of rascaiity when |
scarcely past the age of twelve years'
