terday though he was previously tame 1hs aely
disaster Of his mad career was that Of running
against our famous surgeon, Dr. Stone kpockinx
him down, covering him with mud, and spFAinise
one Of his wrists doubly lucky thing that II was
no worse, for il Dr. Stone bad had his homes broken,
what subordinate surgeon could hs the master have
sent for? And i incapacitated from duty, who
would have been the other physician or surgeon that
sufferers in life ordeath cases might call for with
their last breath Of hope7 We call it lucky for al
that Or. Stone got only plastenng Of mud and )
| sprained wrist.
A DARKsY, WITH PocKEr Full OF ROCKS, and
q suspicious atmosphere around him, was arrested
yesterday morning by Lieut.. Dryden. Hs attempted
to pass counterfeit ffty.doar bill on Mr.. jacobs
| at the corner Of st. Charles and Poydras streets
fs ", W.
another man went after Lieut.. Dryden. That officer
arrived, and put the darkey through catechism, in
which he made blandes enough to prove him 1
doubtful character; stating at first that his nsme
was Minor. and that he was from Franklin parish,
and belonged to Mr. Cassidy he asserted that all the
| money he had besides the counterfeit bill was one
dollar. The Lieutenant, on searching him, found no
less than $2Sl in good money on~him $50 in gold
and Sc in silver in his pockets, and 1900 u four &50s
ON the city banks, besides gold watch worth tlo0.
4 Minor being locked up, the Lieutenant went "a
look for Mr. Cassidy the master, who the darkey said
was at the St. Charles Hotel On the hotel registe,
he found the entries Mr.. Cassidy and servant, ani
with Mr. Cassidy, in the same room, /" Mr.. Probey.
} Neither Of the gentlemen were in. The lieutenan
told the porter to tell either Of the gentlemen whel
they returned, that the negro Minor had been arrest
ed and was in the lookup. Returning afterwards
the porter informed him that be had LEFT the messag
with Mr.. Probey, who had gone out again. Going b
the clerk be found that both Cassidy and Probey hal
settled up and cleared ont This with the fact tha
nobody called at the police to inquire after Minor
rendered the whole affair decidedly suspicious
Whether Minor is runaway slave, or q free negr
rascal passing with white rascals "a slave in ore
to " shove counterfeit money, is question whicl
time only will decide
