| A HOUSE OF lNDUsTRY.-At the regular monthly
meeting of the Association for Improving the Con-
dition of the Poor, held on Monday night last,
| Jesse Hunt, Esq, the Treasurer, offered the fol-
lowing resolutions, inquring into the expediency
| OF appointing committee to ascertain the practi-
cabity of establishing a House of Industry, or
some other organization, to be under the manage
ment of the Poor Association and having for its
object the employment of persons out of work, who
| are able and desirous to support themselves by
| their own industry.
"Resoloed, That Committee consisting of i've
members, one from each district together with the
President of this Association, be and are hereby
| appointed to examine and report
| lst. Whether it is not the bounden duty of this
Association, in furtherance of its avowed object
the Improving the condition of the poor to use its
best effort to lessen the alarming increase of pau
perlsm and vagrancy in city; and if so, the
means whereby this can be most etfectually accom-
plished.
End Whether the benevolent purposes of this
Association and the trust confided to them, would
not be more fully carried into effect by the estab-
lishment of House of Industry, some other or
ganZatlon, in connection with this Association
having for its object under such restrictions as may
seem proper, the employment at remunerating pri-
ces OF such persons able and desirous to sup
port themselves by their own industry
Having read the resolutions to the society," Mr.
Hunt moved to lay them on the table for the con-
slderation of the Board, to be called up and acted
upon at the next meeting in March. He suggested
that, In the meantime, the resolutions should be
carefully thought over by the members of the society,"
as they involved grave considerations. He thought
| that by such step more would be done to promote
the interests of that part of the community over
which the society had thrown its protecting infu-
ence than any thing else. Many poor people, who
were unable to get work, would rather die than
beg or apply to association of this kind for pecu
mary assistance On the contrary some of those
who do apply for and obtain assistance from the So
cety, after time find it easier to live in this man
ner than to work. and consequently the ends of the
association are perverted, and instead of "mprov-
ing the condition of the poor, it is made the very
hot-bed for the encouragement of paurerism and
incidence.
ATTEMPTING TO DEFRAUD.-Messrs. F. NJ. Palmer
and Thomas Arnold, of the firm of Palmer & Ar
mold, were taken into custody on Sunday by de-
tectives Stevens and German, on warrants issued
on the complaint of NJ. l.. Curtis of New York
city, who charged them with obtaining goods un-
der false pretences. Justice Logan admitted them
to bail in the sum of thousand dollars EACH for
their appearance at his office Monday evening at
three o'clock, at which time they appeared with
their counsel, Il. Z. Barry and Charles j. Pitts,
Esqrs., who, upon hearing the charge brought
against their clients by Mr.. Curtis asked their ac-
quittal and dismissal from custody.
1t appeared from the evidence elected, that about
the l4th OF the present month, Mr.. Arnold went to
New ork, and by representing the firm to be
worth $4,000 effected purchase of gas fixtures
and ornaments to the amount of $3.50, PAYABLE by
draft, five days after sight At the proper time the
draft was forwarded to this CITY, but was returned
dishonored, and with the words written on the
margin-"Store closed, and parties nowhere to be
found" Mr.. Curtis Immediately came on to Balti-
more, and caused the arrest of the parties at
house in Mulberry street. 1t afterwards turned
out that the goods had been deposited at the auc-
tion warerooms of +. w. Bennett, and part of them
disposed of at public auction.
The magistrate said he felt constrained to listen
to the application of the counsel of the accused
lnasmuch as the goods were sold in the regular
way, by representations and references, and that
there was no evidence to show that there was any
intention to defraud on the part of the defendants
He accordingly discharged them both
This course in direct opposition to the advice
of the Prosecuting Attorney for the State who
unable to attend the examination in person, had
sent word to have the hearing postponed for two
weeks, In order to give the firm in New York time
to procure the evidence necessary to sustain the
charge. On Monday night the accused were rearrest
ed on bench warrant, taken before the sheriff. and
in default of s., 900 security, committed to Jail for
further hearing.
