COOPERATIVE ENrsRpRrsI MEErrHo.--A
meeting Of those interested In tho cooperative
enterprise, met last evening at half past ssven
O'Clock In Woodward Hall. The meeting was
called 10 order BY Mr.. Pearson. Mr.. Crossman,
grocer, made few remarks, In which he said
that perhaps no might be on the other side, yet
nevertheless he was willing to assist in proper
cooperative system. Captain Thomson, from
the committee that visited the Pay Department,
reported that they had met with but poor sue.
cess. There wero some people there who thought
they knew more than other people, and who said
that cooperative system would not pay. The
committee, however, would try again and hoped
10 have better success.
The committee, who at the last meeting had
been appointed on finance, withdrew for q few
moments into the ante.room, the president In
the meantime making Q few remarks.
Mr.. Crossman said he would like to introduce
q now section In lieu Of one which he thought
altogether wrong. He thought the section he
had written would be better, and would like 10
introduce II.
The Chairman Of the Committee on Bylaws
objected until the section In the by laws was read
In order, when Mr.. Crossman could then make
his objections and introduce his own.
The Chair 20 rul,d IT, and, on motion, the
further discussion Of the bylaws was resumed.
Tbs Secretary, for tho benefit Of those present,
road all the by-laws--those that had bee
adopted and otherwise.
Article s, section l, In relation TO the duties Of
officers, was then rad and brought before the
meeting for discussion. The section particularly
applied To the duties and the powers Of the Pres
ident.
Mr.. Crossman wished to introduce q substitute,
part Of which was relevent to the section and
part not.
On motion, Mr.. Crossman was allowed to read
his propositions.
There was considerable spsrring and parlia.
mentary lodges after the reading, as 10 what
should DO done, Mr.. Crossman persistently CALL
ing the resolutions. amendments, or substitutes,
"his speech" They were at length indefinitely
postponed, and section Of article was, on mo.
tion, adopted.
Section 2 Of tho same article in relation to
the duties Of the vice president was then read,
and on motion adopted.
Tho next section was read and adopted and
with some little discussion and amendments, the
by laws were adopted.
The finance committee made report In which
they desired more members to be added to the
committee for the purpose Of thoroughly can i
vassing the Departments.
On motion, the committee was enlarged by
the addition Of few more gentlemen, and after
the transaction Of some other business, the
meeting adjourned 10 meet again on Wednesday,
2lst instant, in the same Hall.

ANOTHER PLor TO BREAK JAIL.-An-
other plot to break Jail was discovered on Thurs.
day BY the warden and guards. John NJ. Smith,
the horse thief, was the principal party upon
whom suspicion rested, and he was brought to
confession by threats Of punishment with "leg
irons" and In his cell he delivered to the officers
Ave neatly made spring saws. He stated that
they had been brought In for Conover's use, and
were left by him. Tie circumstance, connected
with the finding Of other articles, made neces.
sary a disposition of the prisoners to other
quarters, and they were all accordingly shifted
and searched ere they were placed In their new
Apartments" Surratt has been placed along
with johnson, the murderer Of Smoot, and other
changes have been made, which will, no doubt

A Bold Yesterday after
noon about 8 o'clock, Q oolored boy entered the
premises Of Mr.. H. Semken, No. 375 Third street
north between D and E, by cutting panel In
the door with large and keen knife which he
had with him. He pushed the bolt Of the door
back after cutting the panel, and entering the
house secured . bundle Of clothing and came
out. He was seen by colored man who, sus-
pectins something wrong, sung out to him, whom
the rascal dropped the bundle and fed. A "hue
and cry" was raised, but the fellow got Of. This
was certainly bold feat in daylight, but m airy
to the house kept the burglar hid partially from
sight while he was cutting away at the door.
The family Of Mr.. Semken are In Europe; Of
which fact the fellow was probably aware. The
panel Of the door must certainly have boen a
poor one, and by far too frail II 1t could be cut
open so expeditiously. There are number Of
doors built In the same manner, and more sub
stantial ones should by all means be placed In
dwellings for the security Of the inmates and any
valuables which might be therein.

We regret to learn that Mr.. Cummings has

THR STORM AND THB PoLIoE-It is gen.
orally supposed that during the heavy storms
that frequently occur in this locality the police
avoid the shower and shelter themselves under
porches and sheds till the storm passes. The
kind. d.hearted citizen will believe II to be so, and
Justify the act. Bat those who saw the police
relieved from duty on Friday morning, and
noticed the condition Of thoir uniforms when
they returned to their station. houses, concluded
that there are no places for shelter on the police
mems beats. There may be men on the force
who dodge the storms. but the privates Of the
Metropolitan police, as q body "stand the
storm" till It ceases, and arc always on the
lookout for the safety Of the sleeping citizens
during the prevalence Of storms as we'll as when
the nights are cloudless and still. The officers
reported to their lieutsnants an hundred Incl.
dents Of the storm on Thursday night that were
not deemed Of sufficient importance to add to the
general report Of the day.
