nenin Memphis who stand high in the
Republican party, and who doubtless
would not condescend to- debase them
selves so low as to cater to Hamilton's
corrupt purposes"
Dull times are driving those thieves
who have not "nerve enough TO ply
their vocation as a rule, to piping or
such chances as they can fall upon for
plumber. Hunger renders aperson despe-
rate, and as chaps Of this kidney I'VE
work. and |" pigeons to pluck" or "suck-
ers to play in,n are few and far between,
it will be well enough TO have q sharp eye
to the movements of the raseals. Shop
keepers are given especial warning, as
the " sneak Law" is a fayorite inc re-
auiring the display Of little or no courage
or a-droitnAss on the part of the operator.
Jim Creighton and Dan Daily were ar
rested by officers Cullen INC HallOran,
about 3 o'clock yesterday morning, and
committed to the First District Station on
the charge of having burglarously entered
and robbed of a small sum of money the
store of Mr.. Gugel, confectioner, No. AZ
Main street. Circumstances point very
strongly to these parties as the men who
committed the robbery. Creighton is an
old offender, and is said to have been con-
cerned in the Jackson (Tenn.) Express
robbery, which. it will be remembered,
was perpetrated about a year agO. DAILY
is also well known to the police, They
win be taken before the Grand Jury TO-
day.
Tho alarm OF IRE which vas run yes
terday morning, at four O'Clock, was
caused by the burning of the grocery
store Of Weightman q Co. on the corner
Of fernando and South streets. The
stock, valued at two thousand dollars,
was totally destroyed, but was insured TO
\ its full value. The house was the proper
tv of Judge Leonard, and was damaged to
the value of about six hundred dollars.
1t was also fully covered by insurance
The fire was the work of an incendlary,
who, ii is supposed, gained admission 10
| the store. turned the spiggot Of a barrel Of
coal oil, and while il was running set II
on fire.
We have learned that It Is in cOntem-
J platiOn by the = Hibernian Mutual Relief
/ Society :" to have a picnic at no distant
dav. probably by the 18th of August.
This we presume to say is one Of the old
lest societies in our city, and has accom-
plished a world Of good in relieving the
distressed and assuaging the pain 81
MANY Of its members. Yearly they have
given a picnic. but let IL be said to their
credit that he funds arising therefrom
were always donated to some charitable
| object foreign TO the society," hberality
unequaIed. However, on tins occasion,
the proceeds VIII be applied Tor the use
ofthe Society to place It on a better basis.
We wish entire success to the undertake
ing.
The day after the late Judicial election
