TRAVELLING GRocERYMEN. For some days
past ''strike" has been in progress amongst the
men employed in the brickyards in the south
western portion of the city, and Lieutenant
Henderson has deemed it necessary to detail
number of officers to attend the locality and pre-
vent any disturbance. Last night couple of
the officers were informed by some of the men

OF suspicious characters had been seen to enter
the stable Oh the premises and after a few
minutes leave it. search was at once insti-
tuted and amongst the hay was found lot of
coffee, sugar, teas, candles soap, bread, butter,
eggs brooms, scrubbing-brushes, and, in fact,
enough material to stock small grocery, to-
gether with two shot-guns. The officers removed
place. In short time the chaps returned and
were taken into custody. Alderman Dallas gave
them hearing and committed them to await
further investigation. They gave their names as
Mike Mahony and John McHenry. Any person
having lost goods similar to the above are re-
quested to call at the station-house.
BRUTEs!-A bipedal specimen of the brute
creation named William Mahony, who resides at
Falls of SchuylkDl, Twenty-first ward, on Thurs
day displayed his superabundant courage by
thrashing his wife. The cowardly wretch was
arrested and taken before Alderman Dean who
held him in $400 bail to answer.
Another 'loafer named James Logue residing
| No. 531 Marriott street, has been committed to
| prison by Alderman LutZ on q similar charge.
| This latter abortive specimen of humanity is
| aged thirty-eight years, and is married to
woman seventeen years his senior, whom he
has made support him for several years back.
| The poor woman makes pittance now and then
| at washing all of which the brute spends for
rum. Last midnight returning home semi
| intoxicated, he demanded of her the earnings OF
| the day. She had but just returned from West
| Philadelphia after performing a hard day g
| work. and desired to retain the money for food.
| This exasperated the brute and he assaulted aud
| beat her numerically, and threatened to take
| her life. Her screams attracted an officer, and
the cowardly fellow was arrested.
STORE RoBBERY.-The clock and fancy goods
| establishment of q. s. Lowell, No. 627 Market
street. was entered last night, as is supposed
by youthful thieves, the drawers OF the counting
| room broken open and ransacked, and SIX dol
| lars worth of postage stamps ana dress coat
| belonging to a member OF the hrm stolen. An
attempt was made on the freproof safe, but it
resisted the efforts of the thieves to open it. An
entrance was effected into the store through q
I window in the second story, which was reached
by climbing up the awning-posts in front of the
establishment on Market street. After reaching
the second starry, two stout doors were forced
to gain access TO the first floor, and notWith-

burning in 1t all night, and the whole OF the in
terror is visible from the front. The attempted
robbery is therefore quite daring one.
THE Yesterday, along Darby
road, travelled a circus, attached 10 which was
an elephant The huge animal was adorned
with an immense red cover, and as he roamed
along caused fear and CONSERVATION amongst
the "equines" and ''boynes" that he met. John
ii. Jones, the celebrated butcher Of the Twenty
fourth Ward, happened to be driving along
when his horse, catching sight of the animal
dashed madly Off and finally brought up at :
dollhouse, which was upset by the sudden shock
AS a matter of course, the wagon was smashed
into thousand pieces, and John, who weighs
about 800 pounds, was thrown violently to th'
ground, from which he rebounded only to fal
again. Mr.. Jones was badly cut and bruised
the elephant passed on unhurt.

ago a couple of "wharf rats" stole a boat from
Almond street dock. Since then the officer
