and carriers have every incentive to make the
most Of their time but still, they have not, by
any means, the entire monopoly Of the streets, we
like to see them jerked by the police and punished
BY the Recorders whenever they illegally take posses
sion OF the streets by gallopng their mules and en-
dangering slighter vehicles and human life, not to
mention the tooprevaent evil Of running in long
strings close together, thereby stopping the vehicles
Oh tne cross streets as well as pedestrians.
There is an ordinance prohibiting all this but it is
almost dead letter. for whilst the evil is to be met
with every hour of the day in all the commercial
Streets there are but few Of the police who remember
the ordinance Or feel disposed to interfere with the
numbering carts and drays or their saucy drivers.
~ therefore pleases US to notice any Of the police who
notice the evil and to give publicity to the individ
uas who forget that they are not the exclusive own
ers Of the Streets
Sergeant Mcfarland yesterday arrested John Routh
and Barney MITCHELL and jerry slave Of Madden, for
too uriously going it in the commercial gallopade
They were locked up and their teams sent to the
pound. Recorder Summers will attend to them TO-
day. We hope the day police will pay special atten
tion to this branch of their duty hereafter.
The CARRoLLToN FIRE COMPANIES celebrated

BROOKLYN FIRE COMPANY No. 2, of Algiers, ceIe.

sion, which crossed the river and paraded the prnci.
pal streets of the city, headed by that tall Algerine,

Bit OF ROMANCE of the French school, appears
to be connected with the death Of the slave boy
Isham, which death night before last, in Poindexters
slave yard, by an overdose of laudapum," is re-
ported in another part of our local intelligence.
Last night slave named Maria, a handsome light
coored young woman, was taken to the lookup for
safe keeping. She belongs to Mr. Poindexter, and
stays at his depot on Baronne street, where Isham
died. The story in connection with her arrest as we
obtained it, was this that she and Tsham were lovers
that on Tuesday they had quarrel in which she de
nounced him and abused him, and told him never to
speak to her again that he died that night and
that either because he committed snicide by taking
the overdose of laudanum," or because she believed
such to be the fact, she reented, gave herself up 10
grief finally became desperate, and was last night
locked up to prevent her from following her lover by
committing suicide in her turn. Maria looks like a
white woman by gas light. She declares that Isham
did commit suicide, he having taken the laudanum
himself, when he had no need Of medicine.
THOMAS COFFEE made great fool of himself on
Tuesday night He got beasty drunk and fell down
on Julia street, and was lugged to the lookup, with
the Key of Heaven in his pocket. The brief entry
on the police book read, Thos. Coffee, lying drunk
on Julia street had key of heaven" The Key, we
suppose every one knows, is a religious book. Not
having two dollars and half to pay for getting drunk
with such thing in his pocket, Recorder Summers
yesterday sent him to the purgatorial institution
known as the Work.Aouse.
WILLIAM DAVIS was arrested last evening for en-.
deayoring to create jump of the crew on board the

at the time.
