A PRosEcUTRIx PRosEcUTNG.-New week
for tho past year, with rare exceptions, has
passed without the name of Lizzie Owens
appearing on the book at the first precinct
statiouhouse, and several times lately she
has been arrested three times within seven
days. Last Monday she and six others Of
her sort were taken in from Dryades street,
charged with highway robbery, having
stolen sum Of money from stranger.
The accused were taken before Judge Dib-
bic, but the prosecutor not appearing, they
were discharged. A few days afterward,
the unfortunate foreigner visited that dis
reputable neighborhood, vainly thinking
that he might recover at least portion of
his currency. 1t appears mat collision
took place, when the Owens charged her
victim with striking her with hard broom
stick, and robbing her. The case was ex-
anined yesterday by Recorder Houghton,
when it was plainly shown that the unso-
phisticatcd German was the one who was
wronged. OF course he was released.

The subject Of levee membranes is be-
ginning to engage the earnest attention of
our city authorities, as it has for some time
occupied the thoughts Of such of our bust
ness men, shippers, consignees and others
whose interests are bound up with the we'll
being of the levee. What can be done to
increase the facilities for unloading the car
goes of up river boats. by. increasing the
room on the levee, remains to be seen.
But the subject has been brought before the
Mayor ami the Administrator Of Improve
ment. By Captain feathers, of the steamer
Matched, and Mr.. Conrey, acting in behalf
of those citizens who are interested in the
matter. There is no doubt that this sub
ject Of the crowded levee will more and
more occupy the attention of the communi-

Good measure is good thing under
almost any circumstances, particularly in
buying goods. Parties purchasing coal who
wish good weight cannot do better than call
on c. A. Miltenberger, No. So Camp street,
or on Beals & Lanes old established coal
depot. on the levee, near the Third District
ferry landing for there they will have the
advantage of having the coal they purchase
weighed on Fairbanks patent scales. and
this insures them that they will get their
moneys worth in weight, as well as in
quality. Fairbanks scales can be obtained
at the establishment of the agent, Mr.W. b.
Bowman. No. 50 Camp street. who is also
agent for the we'll known cotton beams, as
well as sugar and tobacco beams Mr..
Bowman guarantees that his beams will at
all times hold out with the United States
customhOuse weights. The articles he sells
have no equal in the market.

Changes in the money market, SO far as
Frank Taylor and John Wilson are con-
cerned, created suspicion that one or
both of them accumulated twenty-one
dollars from William Matheson. The three
had been sut spreeing around the Third
District. The way things run during the
jollification, neither Taylor or Wilson had
much more than car ticket, but on the
following morning Taylor possessed twenty
one dollars. MathesOn concluded that his
partners robbed him, and Recorder Leclerc
took the same view, which committed the
acc(aed to the Criminal Court.

Blackmar's Temple of Music, No. 20l
Canal street, is attractive to musical pro
fessors and amateurs at all times hut it is
particularly SO at the present time, when
everyone is preparing to enjoy the festive
season of Christmas. The stock Of sheet
music for the piano TO be found at Black
mars, for extent and variety, is hardly
equaled by any other establishment in the
Southern country. The ample choice to be
had BY professors and amateurs in purchas-
ing any other description Of instrument is
well known. The excellence Of the several
styles of pianos, from the best manufacturcrs
in the country, Chickering, Grovestein,
Gabler, and others, is only equaled by the
facilities which the system instituted by
Blackmar, of periodical payments, gives to
people Of moderate means to possess them
selves of capital instrument, the payment
of which can hardly be felt. Those who
want Christmas presents for themselves or
friends should not lose sight of these facts,
but by all means avail themselves of the
facilities to be found at Blackmar's.
