THE BANDs.-Owing to the failure
to carry out the original programme
in the order Of the procession, yester-
day, some bad feeling was caused
among the bands, and the Evansville
Silver Rand formerly Democratic
Silver Band) drew Ua@,f tbe 5ro-
cession, and did not 90 to the ceme-
terry. The bands had been arranged
in the programme according to age,
the Crescent City Band first. the
Evansville Band in the centre, and
the Cornet Band last. After the pro
cession had been formed some Of the
members of the Cornot Band objected
to marching behind the Evansville
Band, and asked Mr.. Doughty, one
of the Marshals. to put them in the
centre, which he did. This, of course,
was an insult to the Evansville Band,
and they insisted that they should be
placed according to the programme
but as this was not done. they de-
Glued to march in the procession.
The general opinion is that they we're
perfectly justjfable in refusing to
take any further part in the process
sion. 1t was an unfortunate affair,
and we regret its occurrence.

GRATIFYING. = The police are en-
gagged in making raids on the houses
Of prostitution in this city, which is
indeed gratifying in the extreme, :"
as the r'd-hot'' indisposed"
come and SEE me poetical critic of
the English version Of the Fourth
Street edition would say. If the
police can do anything towards weed
Ing cut these obnoxious institutions
they will be entitled to the thanks of
the community. Bawdy houses have
heretofore been tolerated in the most
public parts IF the city, and it is high
time that something was being done
to get rid of them. Under the old
regime the Prostitutes were not only
free from any danger of being arrest
ed, but it is e7en limited that they were
protected in their shameful profession
by those whose duty it was TO have
made war upon item. We are glad
that our present police force have
made a beginning in the work, and we
hope TO see it carried on uutil at least
a portion of these shameless wretches
are driven out of the city The town
is full Of them, and large number
could be spared, and the community
benefited.

alive, aud died a few minutes after
FIELDS reached the scene Of disaster
They were fine, large horses, in good
condition. and were valued at S16C

she left in the house. and that was
