AN INQUIRY was received by Superintendent
Cain yesterday, relative to the authority of the po

lows
Art. 6e0.-It is unlawful to abuse, provoke or
disturb any person to make charivari or to ap-
pear masked or disguised in the streets or in any
public place.
Now, there may be cases where an officer is not
strictly called upon to carry out the provisions of
this ordinance, IS for instance, where a party of
maskers proceed quietly from ball room to sup
