POLICE ITEMS.


The bOok-keeper of Petit & Co., No.
Is Union street, had occasion to leave
his Office for few minutes on Thursday,
and when he returned, found a man try
ing to open his cash-drawer with false
key. A policeman was called and the
would-be burglar was arrested. On be-
ing carried before Squire Griffith, he
gave his name as John Wilhelm. Not
being able to account satisfactorily to
the Squire for the awkward prediea-
ment in which he was caught, he was
sent up to the criminal court in default
of $4,000 bond.
Some rogue with sweet tooth stole
four beehives, full Of honey, from No.
1873 Shelby street, day or two ago.
"A stranger, whose name we sup
press at the request OF 3 friend, was ar
rested on the streets in q helplessly
drunken condition, by 5erg't Brown of
the First District Police, on Thursday
night. On his person we're several hum
dred dollars in greenbacks, which it Is a
wonder some enterprising mackerel had
not llghtened him Of He yesterday
paid the city ten dollars and costs for
taking care of it.
James s. Hudnell, who shot the
negro Fred Farris, at or near the State
line on Pigeon Roost road, on Tuesday
last, had yesterday his preliminary ex-
animation before Squire Griffith. The
witnesses for the State were all heard,
INIT one or two for the defense being I'M
avoidably absent, the further hearing Of
the case is postponed till Monday, 18th
inst, at IL o'clock.
The examination OF Sol and Gilbert
Fenner doth colored), for numbering
Lloyd Brown, their brother-in-law, on
Monday last, was yesterday continued
before Squire Willard. The evidence
fixed the murder on Gilbert beyond q
doubt. The case was continued till to-
day for further testimony.
Julia Washington, a darkey, was
yesterday sent up by Squire Walton, in
default of $1,000, on charge Of perjury.
Col. Beaumont promised US the other
day that be would make a raid on the
idle aad vsgabond negroes that loaf
around the justice courts. There are at
least a hundred that seem to have no
other occupation than hanging round
the stairs leading to the Offices of
'Squires Black and Walton, and crowd
ing in to listen to every case that comes
up before these gentlemen. 1t is great
nuisance, and should be abated.

The Tournament vs.. John Donovan.
In the APPEAL ef Thursday morning
last Mr. Donovan publishes a card to
Justify mis- COARSE IA reference to the
forthcoming Tournament, in which he
makes some very grave mistakes. DR..
WLkerson and myself did have an inter-
view with him as President Of the Race
Course, to see on what terms he would
let us have the use of it for the Tourna-
meDt. So far he is correct, but in no
other particular.
His tirst charge vas $500, but being in
formed by US that 1t was let last year for
500, he said he would take that sum but
10 less. He demanded an order on the
Treasurer for that amount, and on being
asked what rs would do with it il it
should prove a rainy day and 20 Tourna-
ment be held, he replied that be would
hold the committee personally liable.
This was a mere preliminary CONVEX
CATION with him, and no contract was
ever made. the statement that "Mr.
Stewart then stated he Bould accept the
terms and would call next day." is an.
true.
His liberal offer to give $500 to the
Memphis Association mot to the widows
and orphans comes rather late.
With all the privileges Of vending
liquors, ice creams, eatsbles, etc., he and
his Association could have well afforded
to have given the course free, and even
then we would have been at considerable
expense in preparing additional seats,
etc. He would, we have no doubt, be
exceedingly glad now to abate his
charge $500, to secure the holding OF the
Tournament at his course. but then he
treated the committee with great indif-
ference, and as if he believed we could
neE have Tournament anywhere else,
Mr.. Mcclure, With the liberality of a
Southern gentleman, mas giyen to the
cause which he did not desert, the use of
the Central Park, free of charge, and has
agreed to erect the seats at his own ex-
pense. We are obliged to Mr.. Donovan
for his eiegepth hour offer, but we have
no further gse for hia OE bis Race
Course.
The result Of the whole matter Is that
by refusing Mr.. Donovan's terms park
is secured, with ampitheater and seats,
without cost, and thereby a saving of
$500 or S6O6 to the Vldows' and orphans
fund. W. L. STEWART.
