CITY INTELLIGENCE,


was made for the injured man, but he could not be
found, nor could any information be obtained as to
where ne had gone, no person in the neighOorhood /
having seen him after the assault. The man was |
injured too severely to be able to travel any dis
lance, and the suDposition of those persons living |
in the vicinity is that the man died from his in /
juries and his murderers disposed of his body in |
some way as yet unknown. Since Tuesday last |
diligent search has been made with the hope that |
some evidence would be obtained which would lead |
to the discovery of the facts in the case; but up to
last night without the slightest success. Persons
nave visited the fishing shore, the neghborng |
towns, and in short every place, where there was
any probability that information could be obtained
relative to the man, but all has proved in vain.
On yesterday one week ago, two of the assailants
named Casper Kronce and Henry Never fled to
this city, where they were arrested on Monday
following, on warrants issued by Justice Dckil of
the county, and Justice Griffin committed them IN
Jail On Friday last the other assailant fed from
the farm and 1t Is supposed came to this CITY. The
officers are now in search of him, and he will no
doubt be arrested. The country in the vicinity of
Mr.. Ahrens' farm is very marshv thickly covered
with underground, and should the body of the
man oeen buried in one Of the marshes, it will be
almost Impossible to find it. The authorities Of
the county are now engaged in investig the
matter, and it isexpected that few days will clear
up the mystery.

at another and later period he sent to Jail
upon the charge of stealing bricklayer's trowel
aud hammer. Each time he discharged upon
the ground that he had committed these offences
while intoxicated, and without any intention Of
theft.
BASE BALI.-Already have the base ball clubs
commenced their spring campaign, which promises
to be one Of much activity. The impetus given
to this manly game in city by the visit of the
New ork Excelsior club last summer, is manifest
ing Itself In the organization of several new clubs,
and before the coming season is we shall no
doubt have number of exciting and interesting
matches. If the Waverly, $50 successful last sum-
mer)expects desires to hold the honors which it so
deserVedly won, it will find that it will be necessary
to tax lis abilities and keep in constant play as there
are several clubs determined rob it of its honors
or else add to those which it already possesses The
Excelsior has received number of additions to
It's membership, and will enter on the campaipn
with renewed zeal. The following gentlemen have
been elected officers of the Waverly for the ensu-
ing year: Their names are sufficient guarantee
that the interests or the character of the club will
not suffer in their hands: President, William Ii.
Murray; Vice President Thomas Ii. White; Treas
urer, Andrew E. Lilly; Secretary, Charles Lewis.
ST. PATRICKs. Yesterday the anniversary
OF the birth of St. Patrick the patron saint of Ire
land In most of the Catholic churches the dav
was properly concentrated. High mass was
held, and appropriate sermons preached. At st.
Patrick's church, Broadway corner of Bank street,
the services were of very interesting character,
and were largely attended. Father Doau, one
OF the most estimabe of the Catholic priesthood in
this city, ofliciated:
Anniversary Supper.-To-night the fifth anniver-
sary supper of the Irish Union Social Association
will take place at Robt Rainey's Virginia Hotel
Mercer street, near Light street. This is one of
the most agreeable Associations in the city, and
their anniversary suppers are always marked with
W.T. sentiment and good feeling. The genuine
lrlsn spirit, which is always to be found among the
manly sons OF the Emerald Isle finds free flow on
these occasions, and WILL no doubt, manifest itself
tonight From the institution of the Association
the anniversary supper has regularly taken place
at Rainey's. who caters for his company in a man
ner which is sure to please.
The HEALTH DEPARTMENT.-The Board of Health
Is now Actively engaged in the work of its de-
partment. The condition of the streets is the most
immediate subject demanding its attention and
accordingly full complement of hands has been
set to work in different sections, to remove the
filth which has accumulated during the past few
months. The fact that the appropriation authoriz-
ed by the late CITY Council for the Health
Department was inadequate and the work on the
streets was consequently suspended, makes the
labor of the department at this time very onerous
ana some few weeks will elapse before the streets
VIII be IN anything like a proper condition. The
mortality of our city for the past few years has
been much below the average of deaths in the
large cities of the Union. No epidemic has pre-
vailed, and the good health of the city has been
due. in great degree to our clean thoroughfares.
1t is to be hoped that the coming summer will find
the streets free of all prejudcial matter.
ACCIDENr.-On Saturday afternoon, about four
O'Clock, James DOlan, laborer employed in the
erection of the new United States Court-house
met with rather pain full accident at a stone ward
situated on Pratt street, between Paca and Green
streets. 1t appears that he, in connectio with
other workmen, was engaged in hosting stones of
large size by means of derrick, for the purpose
OF placing them on wagon, to be 'onveyed to the
site OF the new Court house. They had succeeded
IN hosting one of the stones and were about to put
1t upon the wagon, when the check to the cog
wheel broke, and the crank whrling rapidly
around struck Doan, cutting his forehead badly
and also his lips, and splitting bis tongue. HI was
conveyed to the lnfirmary, where his injuries
dressed by the Iesident physician, DIR. Milholand.
The contractors wished him to remain at the Infr-
mary, but declining to do so, he was removed to
his residence on French street.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.-On Friday night, about
O'Clock, young woman named Sarah Mercer en-.
tered the Central police station and informed the
officers that she had taken laudanum, with intent
to commit suicide She had scarcely swallowed
the poison before she repented of the act, and ex
pressed her desire to live. She gave as reason
Tor her folly, that young man she called her lover
had forsaken her. Capt. Grey gave her an emetic
which removed the poison from her stomach, and
no serious consequences followed. This is the same
girl who was confined in Jail as witness against
Bob Miller, who charged with the murder of
Hugh O'Sullivan, in conjunction with Thomas Hoff-
man. She is an abandoned and depraved girl
pop M llier is the man whom she complained of as
having deserted her.

known by the police as common pilferers. Upon
an examination before Justice Showacre, they were
committed to Jail to await the action of the grand
jury.

fine condition and at this season of the year is bet
