The CASE OF 0'BALDwN, THE PUGLlsT,



The fact that warrant had been issued by Judge
Bowling for the arrest OF tile champion pugst,
O,Baldwin, was published in yesterdays HERALD,
the fact having become well known III certain
circles. Yesterday morning two respectfully dressed
persons called upon the magistrate az the Tombe and
inquired warrant was out for the arrest Of their
friend o'Baldwin, and when answered in the ailir-
native they requested that the Irish giant be allowed
TO attend the funeral OF his deceased friend and
patron. Felix Larkn, which took place yesterday.
Judge bowling said he had no wish or desire TO
shock the feelings OF the relatives or friends OF the
murdered man. and he had already instructed the
OF O,BalGwin did they not ind him before the burial
services had commenced. He had ordered
tnen however, to arrest o'Baidwin Is
with arraign him before him, the COM
mlttlng magistrate. The two friends OF the imper-
iled pugilist demanded the cause or the proposed
arrest, and they were informed By the magistrate
that he considered tho so-called champion to be q
rutiian. without courage and stability. He was not
considered q puglst oy those WHO ought TO know,
only .'dunern and "macer'' dead beat). He had
been the cause Of considerable disturbance and
tumut ever since he came to the country, and the
man who had been murdered had lost hts life
through 0'Baldwin, the intimacy between them
having led Larkin into scenes OF disorder and made
! come the bondsman Of oBaldwin and was respon-
sible while living, for bis good conducts now there
was no check upon the fellow aud Judge Bowling
was Determined that 30 far as lay IN his power he
would keep hun Qu!et.
The TWO friends then retlreu, only nau Gatieneu
with the remarks Of the magistrate.
Judge Downing also took occasion 10 comment
upon the premature publication OF the warrant being
out for o'Badwin, and he said that he pleased
10 learn that none OF the reporters attached the
TomDs Court mad betrayed the con1cencs reposed In

demeanor, and was liable 70 krrest and fmprfson-
ment. lie was determined In the future 70 prevent,

conrted ree inquiry In all cases. The proprietors OF
newspapers did not WISH he was sure to have their
employees break any trust connded IN them, and he
was sorry TO dnd that in the present instance there
was no remedy, a. the delinquent had not obtained
his information from the court.

prospective Suspension Of Operations
on the M., L.. d. c. Railroad.
The Memphis, Louisville and ClarksviIle
Railroad, whichihas attracted SO much alta
tention of late, seems to be a peculiarly
unfortunate road. For long time in the
hands of receivers, it seems to have made
rapid progress backward, and only a large
measure of prosperity in the future will
cover the mischances and misfortunes of
the past. 1t is now 10 another difficulty:
Every man of its employees is on a strike.
because the road has not the money to paw
them for their work. They held consHlta-
ton, day OF two since, and decided to
wait upon DR.. Cliffe, the present Receiver.
and notify him that it would be impossible
for them TO remain longer on the road
without pay. DR.. Clifie informed them
that the road had no money, and that it
was not in his power TO pay them, much as
he desired to do so. Unless some steps are
taken TO insure the payment of the ems
ployee, the road must suspend operations.
1t is thought that two men will be retained
to run the mail train, and this will, for
time, be the only train running.
