Mr.. THOMAS SNNoTr, who was wounded dur.
ing the shooting afray, on Thursday evening" in
Tattersalls Exchange, of which he was one Of
the proprietors, died yesterday morning about ten
O'Clock, at his residence. IL had been hoped that
there was bare possibility of his wound not re.
sulting fatally until morning, when a sudden
change for the worse occurred, and information
was at once sent to Superintendent Cain accord.
ingly. That official, accompanied BY Recorder
Becker, who adjourned his court In view of the
emergency, and by Timothy Hayes, the prisoner
charged with firing the shot, promptly procured
carriage and drove rapidly to the residence of Mr..
Sinnott But it was too late. for on arrival there,
the party were informed that the wounded man
had breathed his last only a few minutes before:
He was sensible to the end, and we are informed,
expressed no feelings of vindictiveness toward
the man who had shot him. The agony and re-
morse Of Hayes upon discovering the fatal result
of his unfortunate conduct, are said to have been
intense. He Is now in confinement awaiting
arraienment before the recorder. and his brother,
Michael Hayes, although In no wise implicated in
the affair, has been detained as a witness. The
case will probably come up this morning, when a
day will be liked for the preliminary examination.
YESTERDAY, passing along J ulia street, we saw an
urchin throw huge clinker or cobble stone over
high fence, apparently ct some unseen object, and
then run of at full speed. There was o mischiev-
GUS twinkle 10 bis eve as he ran past, and we
wondered what devment he was up TO. The ex-
PLANTATION was soon furnished, for 10. out from
behind the fence came instantly o very black
darky, holding his hat above his wool with one
hand, and with the other rubbing his head as If
something had hit him. There was an expression
of mingled pain and rage on his countenance. es-
pecially when he espied, standing at the next
corner. the mischievous cause of his mishap, gy.
rating his thumb and fingers before his nose, and
daring him to chase. This reminded us Of q
funny episode which once occurred during ramble
about town. Nearing closed door opening from
a yerd to the sidewalk, there was heard suddenly
loud crash, as of some heavy missile striking 1t
with frightful force. We had hardly time to spec
uste as to the cause of this racket, when sudden
ly. from opening under the gate, there came

feline countenanee expressive Of abject terror.

think OF Toms mishap even to this day without
laughing.
IF THERE was any meteoric display at an early
hour this morning, mention of it must be deferred

agement of the police Office under Superintendent
Cain, who, embarrassed as he necessarily is con-
stantly by thousand and one matters in con-
nection with his official duties, yet never in a sim
gle instance forgets to honor the demands of news
paper reporters upon him for public information;
and in MIR. Gains Absence his chair is filled by Mr..
White, chief of detectives, to whose uniform
courtesy and disposition to oblige, the reporter of
the CRESCENT can bear ample testimony.
TIE CRESCENT MOUNTED CLUB.-This gallant
organization who during the late campaign not
only did yeoman service in this State and city,
but sent speakers and canvassers to the North,
resolved itself last night into permanent organi
Zatlon. A constitution and bylaws were adopted
and an election for officers held. The result was
the reelection Of their president, Mr.. Sam. Hen.
derson, and their secretary, Mr.. John Henderson,
two good Democrats and clever gentlemen. The
full list of the officers as follows. Ii will be
noticed that all but one are those of the old or
gsnlzaiion. Their re election is high compli-
pliment TO them: President, SAM. Henderson;
first vice. president, j. M. Allen; second vice.
president, Ed. Male third vice. president, W. A.
Wells; fourth vice-president, @. Chism record
ing secretary, j. G. Henderson; corresponding
secretary, Ed. Belknsp; treasurer, V. Tanner;
grand marshal, Chas. L. Fenner; first assistant
marshal, A. G. Phelps; second assistant marshal,
ID. NJ. Fitzpatrick; third assistant marshal, Benz
Albertson. Under these officers and with the old
determination to further Democratic principles
and Democratic men, we. are sure that the Cres.
cent Mounted Club has in the future as long and
as. bright q career in the service of the good
cause as ii had in the past.
CARELEssNEss.-Ther is q stone cutters estab-
lishment on st. Charles street, just below Girod,
the proprietor whereof sometime ago purchased
a block of marble, which, we notice with sur
prise, he allows TO lie on the sidewalk outside.
We wonder he does not fear thieves. An enter
prising Butlerizer may come along some fine night
and pick il up, nobody being the wiser. We ad-
wise the owner to be more CAREFUL or at least to
ssy chain il to a post as protection, or house
might be built over it to keep it in. Anyhow it
should be guarded from thieves in some way.
A PROPOSED CHANGE.-We are tired Of hearing
the eternal expression, ." Sic transit gloria
mundi." Why the transit should always be
sictk), (unless it is q sea transit, when we can
understand it, or Mundi, of all the days in the
week, should always be selected as the associate
Of glory, we do Lot comprehend. Let US have a
change. We would suggest -" Well transit gloria
Tuesday" or Convalescent transit gloria
Wednesday" Other changes may be thought of,
and we merely give these as examples of what
can be done by an enterprising and liberal
minded gentleman. Then let rs have q change.
THE CARSATZ ISsTITUTE.-We were favored
yesterday morning with polite note, inviting US
to be present at an entertainment. musical and
literary, to be given by the pupils OF the Carnatz
Institute to their friends. In compliance there
with noon found Us ct the door of the institute,
which is located on the corner Of First and Pry
tania streets-s delightful situstion-where we
were Hospitality received by Nine Csrnatz. Half
the rooms were filed with the pupils of the estab
lishment; making, with their eager, happy young
faces and smiling looks, picture to be gszed at
twice. A number Of the parents Of the young
ladies were present, principally ladies. as gentle
men, beng busted about cotton and stocks, can
seldom find two hours to spare out Of the time
when business holds sway.
