DEARDING THE LlON.-One WOulu sup
pose that even burglars would have some
respect for high officials-but the SUPPOSE
ton is erroneous. One of the rascally fra
ternity Friday night found a rich placer in
Mr.. D. w. +. Bisbee's dwelling, in Carroll
ton. on St. Charles street. Mr.. Bisbee is
Mayor of Carrollton, and no doubt, hates
thieves more than ever since the burglars
called on him. His watch, money and
clothing were taken.
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND WATER.-It
is unnecessary to state that many OF onr
citizens are actually suffering for water,
especially in the Third and Fourth Dis
tricts. 1t was not necessary to make
second appeal to Chief Engineer I. O'Con-
nor and the men in his department for
assistance. For three or four hours daily
several steam engines take water from the
river and send it down the street cutters
freely. The boys do not favor one street
more than another, as they give nearly all
share. People dwelling in those localities
are thus relieved. and are glad to obtain
even muddy water. Of consequence this
operation requires small outlay. out
Mayor Flanders has attended to that With
the largest river in the country, If not in the
world. flowing past lis, a city OF two hun
dred thousand inhabitants, not one -third of
our people can obtain sufficient good water
to supply daily wants, in time of drOuth.
A Lone BxT-Severnl days ago few of
those gentlemen who nestle around the City
Hall at noon time made a bet on the Euro
pean war. One laid down hundred dol
lars against fifty that the French would
whip the Pr,lssians or that the prussians
would clean out the French--it don't matter
how that was. Tie money was placed in
Mr.. AS hands. but he is in considerable
doubt as to when the last battle will be
fought and fighting cease. To his mind
settlement lies in ii distant future, and.
therefore. when the gentlemen, suffer from
dyy east wind he invites them to moisten
their clay paving the elot out of the Samb-
ling money. But one hundred and fifty
dollars will not last for ever; in fact, when
fifteen more are liql,idated the bet will be
OF in Ashes.
NOMINATED FOR CONSTABLE. Mr.. ID.
Crowley. operator in the second precinct
police station. was last evening nominated
for Constable of the First Justice Court, in
place of Captain Bradley deceased. Those
who nominated this FREELY, did not make a
mistake for Mr.. Crowley is well fitted for
the position.
The BODY of the little girl, Christine Rich
who was drowned in the river at Kenner
vile while in the act Of drawing water,
came to the surface, and there was some
trouble about the burial.
He PAID FOR rr-Thtre are some men
who think that when they pay their money
to enter a theatre they purchase the right to
be disagreeable and annoy those around
them. Mr.. Rannecke yesterday visited the
Academy of Music to look at the White
Cat" and other amusing things. He was
not content at seeing the beautiful sights,
and enjoying them but thu rust his big fingers
into his large mouth an ID whistled like a
locomotive, making those around him quite
uncomfortable. Corporal Hackett politely
invited him to desist, bat he did not heed
the warning. 1t did not take more than
week to find his way before Recorder
HOughton, who fined him q small sum for
disturbing the peace of a large audience,
who went to see the play and not listen to
shrill whistles.
-. Blanco, driver Of wagon No. 4O15,

of Mrs. Commit. ,injuring it internally. He
was locked up in the cen ral station.
