THE JUMPING. or mdden striking ~ s4e.n,boa,
hands, has Of late grown to be q serious evil. /,
seems that the hands, though generally content them
selves are Influenced szd sometimes forced, by
persons who make it their business and loaf about
the steamboat landing the purpose, to jump" .
boat just as the planks are hauled in, after having
contracted with the officers; and refusing b 90 to
work unless at an unreasonable and eztAvagant 3D.
vance in the rates Of hire The climax OF the thing
was reached on Friday evening, when Q crowd Of
men iDterfered to prevent the crew Of the steamer
Hiawssha from going to work, and this inst at the
moment when the boat was about to leave. On that

PETER PAUL MALLoY, the elderly gentleman Who
once thrashed his lawyer for refusing to sign hin
bond, and then acted a. his own lawyer when the
whipped lawyer came at him for legal satisfaction in
again IN hot water. On Saturday he had Aleck
kilroy and wife Mary before Recorder Summers. on
charge OF having severely punished him and cst
him In the temple and wrist with knife, with in
tent to murder. The Kilroys were booked for 4
hearing on the 18th.
FANNY FLETCHER was taken In the F;r.A n;st,;c.
lookup on Friday night very arnnL .nd co-.rsa
with mud. The police had ashed her ont ~ ,r.,s,
on Howard street. She was put into the female
where there were other females of the whiskydrink-
ing stripe. Fanny took of her muddy dress and hung
a tup on bunk to dry; then she commenced scream
ing and cursing, and knocking the other women
about at such rate that the officers had TO take her
out and shut her mp in the dark cell. When thew
transferred her. she had on nothing but her chenise
Soon after being shut up In the dark she became
quiet. One Of the officers went and opened the door.
to see how she was getting on. he was appalled, TO
find her hanging by her neck, in state of nudity.
to Of the stanchions of the hunks the rope being
made of her chemse tightly twisted and tied round
the stanchion and round her neck. te
Her feet were on the floor, and she was diving of
strangulation, not from her weight, but by having
twisted the chemise by turning round great mapv
times after having secured it to her neck Her face
was getting black, her tongue was protrudiue from
her mouth, and in few minutes more she would
have been dead. An officer quickly severed the
chemise with knife, and the woman was resusci.
tated by means of rubbing and plentiful duckiup
with water In the morning she was sober and sensi
BILE, and much ashamed Of what she had done. She
put on her muddy gown over her chemise. or the
upper half thereof which was beautifully notched
and fringed by the manner in which the officer had
| cut it to save her life.
YESTERDAYS ARRESTS, all over town. were re-
markably few and far between AT night. the First
District lookup began to get somewhat lively. The
screaming old Eliza Sickles and the fighting Nance
Mayfeld were on hand in all their glory and had to
be put away from each other, and in separate cells,
for each others safety well for that of the other
females in the main cage.
We took q peep into the main cage after Eliza and
Nancy nao oeen taken OUT. Tall and rather splen-

curses, epithets and threats. Covering n onother
corner Of the cell was a wretcbed white woman vho
appeared to have got sober with liltle

tinguishable piles OF dirty dry goods and red f,as
from which issued snores, songs and curses.
Talk of vour menaueries or vour a,t.rsnreser,.
lions OF the internal regions! The First District
lookup leaves them all far in the shade. The mascu
line cells are generally disgusting enough, but they
are no approach to the female cells.
