CIVILIAN b. LEECH, Register"
FENIANs.-A wag last night accosted couple
of the members of Frishmuth's Cavalry, at
Passyunk road and German street, and stating
that he was Deputy United States Marshal,
arrested them in the name of the United States.
The men were in full uniform and were going
to their armory This they tried to explain to
the ''wag," but he could not Cd understand
them. They were Germans, and he spoke
English alone. A rich scene followed. The
poor Teutons were stripped of their arms and
uniforms Down on their knees they went and
begged, and prayed, and protested that they
were not Irish. At length when the joke had
been carried far enough they were allowed to
return to their homes. The affair created an
immense amount of amusement for those who
happened to witness it.
NEW DoDGE.-Yesterday afternoon chap
named John McCann stepped on the front plat
form of one of the Market street cars and com
menced collecting the 'fares." The car was
crowded and the conductor was unaware of
Johns presence until he accosted a passenger
for his ticket, when he received the reply 81 do
not pay twice for ride" The conductor, some
what surprised, asked the passenger who he had
paid, when he pointed to McCann who was in
the act of collecting seven cents from another
party. John was ''necked" and Alderman Clark
sent him to prison.
