lightning and badly shivered. One
was struck on the corner of Water

Water and Sixth Avenue, and one
near the Pigeon Greek bridge. Dur

not be surprised to hear of further
disaster. We believe the wires were

end of Water Street. Their demon.
STATIONS aroused thei inmates. and a

overcome by the rotations he had
taken to raise his courage to the pro-
per point. was unable to get away.
He was given the choice to tell the
object of, their visit and the names of
his aecomplices or go to prison. He
chose to go to Jail.
1t is. certainly time that some syste-
matte effort was made to ferret out
the burglars and thieves who infest
our city and bring them to justice.
Laws are enacted to be the terror of
evil doors, and the intention of the
law cannot be realized without a

HABEAs CoRPUs.-On Saturday
two writs of hobeos corpus were
heard by Judge Parrett. The writs
were sued out by the guardians or
parents of three young men. two of
them brothers, who had enlisted as
soldiers, but who were proven to be
under age They were all discharged.
It is due to Captain McClery to
state that all three of the young men
had assured him that they were of a
proper age. over q years, and that
the Captain has at all times been es-
recially careful in reference to the
ages OF those applying to enlist, and
in cases of doubt has required proofs
of age frorh responsible parties.
BURGLARS ON THE TRAMP-From
gentleman who came up on the
Charmer, we learn. that three bur-
glars have been on a tramp along the
coast of Southern Illinois during the
past week. ,,ef5i 4sI n .5e sas
We first hear of them about two
miles below Sellers Landing. where
they entered house and robbed it
on Monday night, Of some so or $23
in money. including some silver
change and few gold dollars. On
Wednesday night they entered the
house of Elk Mayor Beck, in Shaw
neetown, and stole a silver watch and
other goods. They seem to be travel
ing in the direction Of this city, and
the police would do well to look out
for them. Our informant says that
he saw three men in the river swim
ming few miles below this city, one
of whom answers the description
given of one of the burglars.
The extraordinary impunity with
which burglars and thieves are per-
mitted to ply their vocation, has made.
these rascals bold, and the whole
country is overrun with them, and
unless some systematic effort is made
to bring them to justice, no mans
property, oreven his life, will be safe
from these depredators. -

and supervised the work, which was completed year
since by Messrs. j. q @. Lownsberry, experienced
whaI builders. We sent for the builders to remedy
some inequalities in the surface of the ground; and
only hour before the sad accident Mr.. Lownsberry
having examined the wharf, assured our chief clerk
tn hat II was solid as the city street.
1t is probable that the current driven violently
through the suice by the pier, cutting away the
foundation of the inner per and thus causing the loss
OF life and property.
1t Is consong TO us to know that the portion of the
wharf that sank had just been examined by expert,
and had not one-third OF IT'S usual load and not one
tenth of the weight IL should have borne.
We are not warranted in censurng the skilful men
whom we intrusted the construction and supervi-
sion of this work. but the system of sucing In deep
water and rapid currents may need some modification.
