N as policeman without authority, for
which he had to come up and settle in
st' the usual way.
r. ADMITTED TO PRACTICE.-James B.
= Wands was yesterday sworn in and sd-
mitted to practice as an attorney in the
law and criminal courts Of the state. He
- has an office in the Wickersham build
ing, corner of jefferson and Third streets.
ExAMINATION.-Joseph Donlan, the
man who fatally shot his wife on the
Pigeon Roost road, a short distance from
town, last Saturday night, will be exam
iued before Mr.. Justice Creighton this
p morning, when he will probably be sent
TO the criminal court for trial.
INTENT TO KILL.-A man named
Hammer, who tried TO hammer the head
of Louis Frieburg, was up before Justice
= Miller yesterday, charged with assault
with intent to kill. 1t proved to be a
simple hitting affair, and the accused one
+ was let off by paying a fine of fifteen
dollars and costs.
ELEvATED.-A well dressed man, who
gave his nam as Thos. Wilson, was
20 brought before Justice Hall, charged
90 with robbing the house Of Mrs. Kellar,
on Second street. The evidence against
him being rather damaging, be was sent
= to a higher court for trial. His prospect
for a free ride to the capital is very good.
CLOTHING GoNE.-Robbers and thieves
vet abound in our city when white
people are net robbed, the thieves go for
negroes. Yesterday morning Henry
Taylor, a peaeeable son of Ham, who
resides on Madison street, received q
visit and lost q lot of clothing, etc, to
the value of one hundred and fifty dol
- lars. No trace of the thitL.
DRowNED.-A young lad named Nick
son was drowned yesterday about three
d O'Clock. He was playing with some
other children and fell into the river. Be-
fore assistance could be rendered the poor
lad sank to rise no more. The fatal &C.
%currence took place at the foot of Ex-
change street. The body had not been ]
recovered up to a late hour last night. s
A YOUNG ONE.-A young negro, who
r~ejo;ees in the name Of Jasper Jackson
Kennedy, was yesterday convicted, be-
fore Mr.. Justice Black, Of stealing some !
specie and jewelry, the property of his
employer, for which Jasper was fined,
and, in the absence of the needy, was
turned over to Mr.. Sheriff Winters for
safe keeping. !
NAPoLEoN.-Not the great emperor, A.,
nor yet the prince, but an ebony eolored
individual, who calls himself Napoleon
Clay, was yesterday placed in 'quod for
getting his hands into the pocket of one
Warren Lee, purely by mistake he al
leges), snd taking therefrom a pocket
book. He viii probably serve the city
for some days. ,
THE CRossINGs.-If the authorities
will not keep the crossings clean and in /
good order it must be done by private /
enterprise. Several parties have en-
ployed men to do this work in the :
vicinity of their business houses, but one I
old negro was working on his own ac- s
count yesterday, on Main street, near
Gayoso, and was the recipient OF many {
a dime, the passers-by contributing lib :
orally to the project. Is it not a disgrace
to our street commissioners and alder I
men that such things exist? s
ANOTHER VICTIM.-A man named ]. '
Murphy complained yesterday that a l
woman, whom he met on Main street,
had picked his pocket of the sum of fifty {
dollars in currency. Many Of these
llght-fngered female street-walkers are
abroad, and those who are simple enough !
even to hold converse with such charac-
tiers deserve to be victimized. The
woman has not yet been arrested, but :
she is known to the police, and will :
doubtless rave an interview with the {
grand jury ere long,
A JUNPER-Bounty jumping, so A.,
called, has not been practiced much {
since the negroes who tried the dodge {
were caught and imprisoned; still the
idea has not been given up by some Of
the freed race. Yesterday one Williams
Jones, who had agreed to go to Collier
vile and work on the plantation of Mr..
W. R. Mellier, showed signs of backing
out, for which he was arrested and
brought before Squire Black. The
negro made fair PROMISES and the en-
ployer declined prosecuting and paid
the costs.
DISTRICT CoURT.-In the case Of VIM.
Hocke VS.. steamer Golden Eagle, was
commenced and continued until to-day.
This suit is an action to recover dam
. ages for failing TO deliver cotton at Gin
cinnati on time as agreed. On the Sd
d of March the court made the following:
That hereafter in sll actions Of debt or
assumpsit for the payment Of money,
no plea OF any defendant shall be allowed
E to be filed unless the party or his attor-
nsy shall file Herewith an affidavit that
- the same is not %interposed for delay.
COMMUNICATION the many expo
sitions which have been given Of the
usfarious practices OF the confidence
men, it seems strange that people will
vat siiow themselves to be taken in.
% A new dodge was prSetieed yesterday,
whereby a eountrymsn lost Twenty-Five
dollars snd a gold watch. Officer Coll
70 interrupted the sport, however, and
brought the party before Commissioner
= Richards, who was Of opinion that
twenty-five dollars would pay for prac-
tlclng this little dodge.
PArRoNIzE HOME ENTERPRISE. 1t
will be seen, by q card, that the prince
Of bootmakers, NJ. App, at 800 Front
street, has established an immense
- tannery in Chelsea, and is paying the
highest cash prices for hides, either at
his yard or at 800 Front street. We
recommend our citizens TO pstronize
this enterprise, ana 9thus become indie
: pendent Of st. Louis or Cincinnati. Mr..
App is, we believe, the best boOtmaker
Ia the city, and has a large stock On
hand at his store, $50 Front street.

time. and returned for the third, stIl
- falling to agree. The court stands ad-
Iourned until q am. to-day.
