Many persons believe that crime
is a species Of disease, often coming
upon communities In an epidemic
form, raging with vIrulencs and yLo-
lence for time and then subsiding,
or passing away to some other To-
oality. If the theory is correct, and
this disease, like others Of an epi-
demlc character, is at all Catching .
adjacent towns should establish a
strict quarantine, and permit no one
from Chicago to enter their limits
until thoroughly fumigated, and
sprinkled with all the moral dissl-
fectants to be obtained.
The daughter Of clergyman, not
fifteen years old, was induced 70 elope
with fellow named Charles McDon-
aid, who, to procure the marriage Ii
cense, sw0re she was Of age, and then,
at midnight, took her to the house Of
q leading divine, who, knowing the
girl and her parents, and that she
was under age, united the couple.
Legal proceedings are new pending

harmed.

In purloining letters addressed to the
notorious Brick PomeFoy. He had
over a hundred and sixty In his pos
session, containing from ten cents to
ten dollars each. The young man
has been engaged in this species Of
stealing for several months, and ad-
mits he has taken some thousands Of
dollars, Confidential clerks are con-
founded humbugs, as a general rule,
| but If this fellow has prevented any
deluded creature from reading the
vile sheet published by Brick Pom
eray, he has done some little good
perhaps. say perhaps, for there Is
but little hope of any one who will
attempt to read 1t.
A fiendish assault upon q girl
named Ida Price demanded the al,
tenhOn of the Police Court on We'd
nesday. She had been entiesd into
a barn by a couple Of beasts in hu-
man shape, who attempted to out.
rage the poor thiLg. In this they
were assisted by two females not less
beastly. And because Ida resisted

person and threw the girl into the
street, as nude as when she entered
the world, but for the shoes and
stockings upon her feet.
