MATTERS OVER THE RIVER.

IT'S A FAcT.-Yes, we saw, with our own
eyes, peroons mployed ia cleaning our streets,
and carting away the 6th. A few of the main
streets are thus favored but others, more re-
mote, and needing the same purifying process,
are still neglected. Several OF the small streets
are also in bad condition. The recent rains
did us good service, but much OF the filth and
GARBAGE still remain. Our Sanitary Committee
cannot be particular III this matter, for they
have had all the warning that reasonable men
can ask against the approach of cholera. The
lives of our citizens, to certain extent, are In
their keeping, aud no labor OF expense should
be spared to meet the responsibilities resting
upon them.

IMPROVING THE SUDURBs.-We notice
that streets are being extended through the
suburbs, and the work OF grading and paving
the sidewalks viii b. commenced as soon as
the weather permits. In Middle Ward sucn i'm
provements are tending eastward TO the Brace
road-the city line. Streets should always be
laid out in advance, as thev can be made to
conform to those already built upon, and thus
avoid damages often required to preserve regu
lari,y. Aside iIon this capitalists invest more
readily in localities where the streets have q
fixed grade.

AN IMPosToR.--A lady OF prepossessing
appearance, respectfully dressed in deep mourn
ing. is now calling at stores and banking houses
soliciting aims. She states that her husband
lost an arm in defense of his country, and has
placed his pension claim in the hands of an
agent for collection, and that she hes one child
seven years OF age, and that they are in very
destitute circumstances. She gave as her name
Mrs. Mary Ford, No. 1l17 Carpenter street. No
such person resides there. A few doors below
lives Mrs. Mary Ford and two children. Mr..
Ford was in the army, but returned without the
loss of an arm. Mrs. Ford stated that many
have been deceived by this impostor. Two
years ago she procured large lot of hayer-
sacks OF contractor. After waiting until his
patience was exhausted, he went in search of his
haversacks and the lady who received them,
and could lind neither. Since that time
clothing and food for the relief OF this pre-
tended sufferer, greatly to the embarrassment of
Mrs. Ford. She is about twenty-five years OF age,
with black eyes ard black hair, and OF medium

PURSUIT AND ARREST OF THIEVES
John Fergus ON and William Wilson we're arrested
about O'clock this morning, charged with
entering the house of Samuel Calhoun No. 1904
Olive street, with intent to steal. 1t seems that
Calhoun left his house Tor the purpose of feed.
ing HIS hcrses, and when he returned he OBJ
served the men going out OF the alley; the gate
was open, and the back door broken in. He
went Upstairs and found things scattered about
'In most admired disorder" He returned to
the street and followed the men to peer saloon.
At this place he "necked" Wilson, and found
sixty-iour dollars on his person. Ferguson was
arrested shortly afterwards. While they were
in the house the thieves tried to destroy some
deeds and a recep'-book; they also appropriated
an envelope containing twenty dollar cold
piece. This gold piece had been sent from the
army by Calhoun to his mother in an envelope,
and had not yet been taken therelrom. They tore
open the envelope, and threw away one piece
OF it, retaining the part that contained the
money. When arrested they had a sore w-driver
and stonecutter's chisels concealed on their per-
sons Alderman Massey committed them In de-
fault oil $500 bail. r -fIt .-. -..HI -...I.

BEARDING TIE LION IN His DEN.-Two
men, named John Cugler and Charles Harris,
haing from Baltimore, got into the house OF
Policemen Jones, No. 1923 Ogden street yester-
day afternoon, ior rhieVish purposes. They first
tried to open the back gate, and subsequently
crawled through the cellar window. The family
we're out at the time, and the house was thor
oughly ransacked. They were seen by some
boys, who started an alarm, when they ran out
the back way. Pursuit was made, and they were
overhauled by Officers Graf and Richards.
''iimmy" was in possession of one of the party
when arrested. They confessed to obtaining $l2
in the house; but when pursuit was made they
threw it away in order to be clear OF any evil
dence duplicating them. Alderman Massey COM
mitted them in default OF Sl2OO bail. ss. 3Fs
TRIED TO Look LIKE, BUT NOT ACT THE
GENTLEMAN.-Richard Moore, desiring to make
a respectable appearance without lessening the
contents of his pocket-book thereby, went 10 the
clothing establishment OF Mr.. Lazarus No. l0l
N. Second street, and had himself fitted out IN
splendid style with new coat, pants, vest, and
oVeI coat. Surveying himself in the looking
he so admired his personal appearance, and was
in such haste to exhibit himself to the public,
that he ran out of the store into the street IN
his haste forgetting to pay Tor SAID clothing MT.
Lazarus was IN the back part OF the store at the
time, tying up Richards old clothes. he ran
after him, however, and had him arrested by
| Officer McNamee, who took him before Alder
man Godbou, who committed him TINS morning
in default Of $500 bail.
a hOM AFTER A ADALI.-JOuu WOOuWdTu
was charged last evening with the larceny OF
$23 from man named Fleet. II appears that
| Fleet came over from West Philadelphia to
attend ball. Feeling like keeping the thing
up, he subsequently, went to den in Dock
street, near Spruce, and got into a row with
man named Cramer. Cramer drew knife, and
| cut Fleet across the breast Either before or
after the rumpus, Fleet gave his coat to Wood
| ward for safe keeping. This coat was subse
quently sent to Fleets wife, and she states thai
$23 was distracted from the pocket OF the same.
| Alderman Massey committed one OF the party,
| but the other escaped. le
IMPORTANT CHANGE.-The Equitable Life
Assurance Society of the United States have de-
termined TO declare their dividends IN the future

country, and the new features they have recently
introduced must add TO the hieh reputation they

Belts Reeves, to be found in another column.
