POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

PASSED WORTHLESS CHECK.-Charles Henkel, OF
No 9l Seventh avenue, appeared before Justice Led
WITH at the Jefferson Market Police Court yesterday
and accused George Schaeffer Of giving him, on the
10th day OF April last, In payment for certain goods
check for thlrtysx dollars on the Portchester Ma
tional Bank which he represented to be "as good as
gold" Placing implicit confidence In these state
ments the check was accepted, but subsequently 1t
was found to be worthless. The complainant sub
sequenty met the accused and asked him to 'make
good, the amount, but he always received him with
some 1ippant remark, and in the last interview he
obtained the check by a "trck and Device" when he
destroyed It, Upon this complaint Schaefer was
arrested and held to bail in the sum OF $500 to
answer the charge.
YOUNG MARSH DIscHARGED.-The counsel for the
prosecution in the case OF Messrs Heser OF No. 50
Wall street. against J. Augustus Marsh, accused OF
having obtained from that firm $4,000 in United
States bonds on q check signed Temple & Marsh,
given on the sd of Novem Der, the National Bank
of the Commonwealth made an address to Justice
Hogan yesterday, In which they stated that as the
prosecution would doubtless fail to secure c0nvc-
ton, by reason Of defective evidence OF criminal In
tent, they desired to withdraw the complaint, and
SO give young Marsh chance TO redeem himself.
Tne accused had already endured painful imprs-
onment OF several weeks, and ~ he mad widowed
aud invalid mother depending upon him for support
the prosecution would rather, IL allowed by the
magistrate, withdraw the charge and give him one
more chance. Justice Hogan stated that he agreed
with counsel, and as the lesson would do Marsh
good and 1t would probably be ineffective IL allowed
to 90 further, he would dismiss the complaint
Marsh was accordingly discharged.
ALLEGED HIGHWAY R0BBERY.-John J. Burke, OF
las Thompson street, unfortunately fell In company
with Patrick Cough on wednesday night man well
known to the police, and against whom there have
been charges without number In the criminal courts
OF the city. During their promenade they journeyed
IN Mercer street, and while there talking with MS
companion Burke was suddenly struck with some
weapon that knocked him down and made him
for moment insensble. AS soon as he recovered
he missed Cough and also the watch and
chain which he had worn, valued at $685. IL sud-
denly flashed through his mind that his friend had
not only assaulted him, but had kindly taken hts
property, and calling into service officer Eakins, OF
the Eighth precinct they searched for the pleasant
hammered youth, and found him about an hour sub
seauently In lager beer saloon on Spring street,
where he was quietly quaillng glass OF beer. He
was at once arrested, but denied oil knowledge OF
the property. When arragned before Justice Led
with ut the Jefferson Market Police Court yesterday
morning he reiterated the statement, adding that
when Burke was assaulted he was also Knocked
down and badly hurt He was committed to answer

this CITY, upon the grave charge OF obtaining by false
pretences 5000 from Frank Williamson. Alter sun
dry continuances the case was adjudicated before
Justices Matlack and Clement on saturday. IL APP
peared that Marchand represented that he had sent
on to Washington an application for patent FOR some
Kind of q corsetmakng contrivance and that he had
received an answer from the proper source granting
him letters patent for the invention. Upon this
representation and full statement as TO the utility
OF the patent Williams advanced the sum OF f6Oo,s
hard cash. to the inventive Marchand. Very soon
thereafter Marchand decamped for parts unknown.
1t was soon learned that he had not applied for
patent and he did not do so until some two months
Subsequent to his financial exploit IL may be added
that he has never received the h0ped-for patent
These facts being uncontradicied, Marchand was
held In the penal sum OF $500 to answer before the

The HORTICULTURAL exhibition occurs on Fri
day and Saturday of this week, at Simmons
Hall. This effort Of the Society is entitled to
| the patronage of our citizens, and the sur
rounding country. The exhibition is not a
mere matter of taste, il is designed to en-
courage the direction of labor to profitable
channels. AS Agricultural Societies have
proftably suoseryed the interests of farming.
by stimulating improvements in the cultiya-
ton Of the soil, and the raising of stock, so
the Horticultural Society confers advantages
upon such as avail themselves of the expert
ence of those who make the cultivation Of
vegetables and fruits speciality.
Our horticultural Society is yet in its be-
ginning it has been at considerable expense
in fitting up and furnishing an eligible room
for its meetings. 1t has new passed the Pc.
Rod of its greatest expense, and with reason
able cooperation on the part of it's members
and the citizens generally, has no difficult fu-
ture to encounter. We trust all who can pos
sibly do so, will make it convenient to visit
Simmons Hall at some time while the exhibit
ton is open.

other business precluded general considera-
ton OF this subject. Mr.. Pennoyer. detailed
his success in growing tomatoes. He planted
on the poorest soil, on the sunny side of a
hill, where the plants had full benefit of

to vines, more to fruit, and matured more
rapidly.

recellected a few years ago, while Judge Nog-
gle was candidate for the office of Circuit
Judge in this district, on the morning of the
election a handful signed by some twenty in
dividuals, was distributed at several of the
polls of election, charging Judge Neggls with
serious moral and official offences. The eff
feet of the handful was greatly to damage
Judge NOggIe at the polls where these charg,
es were circulated. After the election, the
Judge brought an action for damages in the
United States Court, against the signers Of
the bill. Last week the trial was to have Ia
kenEplace but the defendants preferred to
compromise the matter by paying the Judge
$4.oC9.
