STOLEN PRorERrY.-A large quantity of
bedding and other articles Of household
utility were seized yesterday afternoon by
officers Allen and Wise, in an old clothes
sales house on Louisiana avenue, west OF the
Centre Market, Washington. They are be-
lieved to have been stolen from different
dwelling-ho in the city, as many OF them
have been fully identified. There appears TO
be good ground for thinking that there IS an
exchange and trade in stolen goods carried
on between various cities. Thus goods stolen
in Philadelphia or Baltimore are sent to be
discussed Of in Washington. whilst articles
stolen here are transferred to one OF those
or some other city for sale.-Nat. INT.

O'Clock yesterday morning four young men,
Germans, nemed Peter Uhl, Rudolph Caro-.
want, Joseph Patsold and Henry Kecker, after
drinking pretty freely at coffee house kept
by John Fultner, No. 102 Clinton-s street, got
into quarrel upon religion and politics. Hard
words were used by all parties, when, 1t Is
alleged, the three former drew their knives.
A general mslss ensued, during which Henry
Kscker received two cuts, one In the abdomen
and one in the left breast-one Of which will
probably prove fatal.
Officers Bears, Haokwelder, Chumley and
Smith, Of the Eighth Ward, arrested the three
young men and conveyed them to the Ninth
street Station house, where, upon search, o
dirk knife was found on the person Of one Of
them, the blade Of which was stained with
blood.
1t is not known as yet who did the stab
bing, On the way 10 the Station-houss Pat
sold told Officer Smith that he out some one,
but did not know who.
The parties were before the Police Court
yesterday, and committed in default Of 5000
bail each for examination tomorrow, upon q
charge of stabbing with intent to kill.
Uhl and Csrovaut are BARRIERS, and worked
at the North east corner Of Linn and Clinton
streets. Patsold is cabinet-maker, and
Kicker is a brick-maker.
DR.. Tomlinson dressed Ricker's wounds,
and pronounced him in a critical condition.
He was alive last evening, though 1t was

ApRpsr OF CONFIDENCE MRN.-Two men,
Thompson and Peter Miller, were arrested
yesterday by Officers Mormon and Rickets,
for playing the confidence game on gentle

sets, at the Melodeon Hall, the particulars
of which we gave last Friday. They were
conveyed to the Hammond-street Station
house, and will appear before Judge Lowe to-
day. Melodeon Hall appears to be q favorite
locality for these sharp gentlemen, from the
fact that it has two entrances, ono on Fourth
and one on Walnut-street. But few days
previous to the above operation the same
game was played upon gentleman from
Cleveland, at the same place.

COVINGTON NEWS.

A MAN DIES IN JAIL FROM THE ETPR0Ts or
WOUNDS RECEIVED BEFORE INoARoERATIoN.-
Officer Dicky last night ARRESTED, and brought
to Jail, o man named William Fl. Nichols,
who, as has been ascertained, halls from Clin-
tonville, Bourbon County, who was laboring
under q fit Of delerium tremens and whose per-
son, particularly his face, bore unmistakable
marks Of violence. He came to Ben Ellison's
hotel, on Monday morning last, and stated that
he had been robbed in Cincinnati Of 5000 and q
watch but when questioned, appeared to wish
to conceal the matter. He accounted for the
bruises on his person by saying that he fell
down stairs, at the Madison House, Cincinnati.
Early yesterday morning, his case being ortiz
cal, DR.. Hays was called in to give medical ad-
vice. About six o'clock, he talked nationally
to Mr.. Herod, the keeper Of the Jail; in few
minutes afterward, when called upon by his
physician, he was apparently sleeping, but upon
near approach, was found to be dead. From
papers found about his person, and from two
acquaintances, L. G. Rankin, and John s.
Eggleston, Of this place, not only his name and
residence, but the following additional partio-
ulars were learned:
He was widower, and o man Of means. He
had been in the dry goods business at Clinton
vile, and retired. He had been in Cincinnati
since about the first of October, and on the 4th
had paid Day & Matlock, on Pearl street, the
SUM Of $455. He was always regarded as an
honorable man, and prompt in meeting his OBJ
legations, and highly respected.
We visited the corpse in the jail, and found
the eyes and face very badly bruised, as if he
had received.a severe beating. The wounds
could never have been caused by q fall; their
locality entirely presludes such supposition.
One dollar in paper, and some silver change,
was all that was found on his person.
Coroner Hughes held an inquest over the
remains, and the jury brought in verdict Of
death from some unknown violence. It is
evident that he had been beaten while in
Cincinnati, but where, no one can now tell,
and perhaps it may ever remain q mystery.
The corpse has been ordered to be forwarded
to Paris, Bourbon County, by his friends,
Rankin and Eggleston, and will be taken
thithsr by A. P. Rose, undertaken, Of this
city.
Judging from appearances, he 10 about fifty
years of age. 1t is to be hoped that his ex-
ample, sad and deplorable as it is, will serve
as a warning to all against visiting those
haunts Of iniquity, 80 common in every city.
Night before last, about six o'clock, q man
by the name of Morris Melally, purposely
fred loaded pistol in crowd on Madison
street, nearly opposite the Madison House,
and fortunately without injuring any one,
though it is q great wonder that he did not.
He was arrested by Sheriff Ashbrook, and
handed over to Deputy Marshal Riff, who
lodged him in jail for safe keeping until
yesterday morning, when he was fined $32
so, and in default Of Its payment, was lodged
in Jail again.
Several cases Of minor Importance were
tried in the Police Court yesterday morning,
and fines imposed in sums OF from IS to $6.

LKcTuRE BEFORE THE You've MEN's MRR-
CAMILLE LIBRARY Observation-Disclosures e..
Dix, Esq, formerly Of the United States
Legation to Quito, delivered lecture before
the Y. M. M. L. A., last night, on the subject
of "Spanish Power in America, and the
Physical Situation of the Andes" His de-
soription of scenery was the result Of personal
observation, and was very vivid. With
respect to the people, he regarded them unfit
for republican institutions, and desired to see
an empire in the West holding position
similar to that which Brasil holds in the East.
He regards Spanish civilization as, not a
failure, but considering all things, sue
cess.
The speaker made too great an effort to be
sublime and lofty ct all times. 1t mattered
not what he was saying, he aspired to the
same elevated style. On the whole, however
the lecture was interesting and instructive
Not more than one hundred and fifty persons
were present, but the smallness Of the number
may be attributed to the chilly evening-ths
hall not being heated up.
