have been the meeting, as Anderson en-
braced his late mate with the grip of hand
cuffs. The Sheriff has shown much energy
and sagacity for the manner in which he
has brought back his delinquent boarders.
There now only remain three of the escaped
offenders of the law at large.
A LIVELY MUNDAY.-Not one Of the seven
days constituting week, but Peter Mum
day, q young and rather good looking per-
son, who is in very bad grace with the po-
lice. Special Officer Bollousa passing along
Chartres streetyesterday noticed the Peters
actions, which were not such as belong
to a laboring man; he had an eye on store,
inside of which was Wallace. another of the
same stripe. Evidently the two were ar.
ranging to perpetrate a robbery. The
officer was not slow in taking Munday to
prison, but on the way liberal offers Of
brides were made, and not accepted by the
special. Accused was taken to the third
precinct station-house, and while under.
going small bit of pumping, sought to re-
gain his liberty by flight, for he is fleet of
foot. Crossing the street and passing
through jackson Square gate, he struck his
knee against the post, but he continued on
until at the opposite gate, when Mr.. Boul-
losa gathered him in safety. Two skeleton
keys were found on him, also a email
sum of money. All the officers at
once began digging up from their
minds crimes which had been cast
at Munday's door, and the record is not
dull one. 1t was remembered that Numa
Avegno's dwelling had been robbed of coin
and currency amounting to thousand dol
lars; that place was robbed of goodly
sum on the day of the fifteenth amendment
celebration, and that the hat store OF Belden
i Eames had lost bank box containing
considerable cash.
All these items and many more were
strung together, comparisons made, and an
understanding arrived at, for Mum.
day is shrewd, bold man, and
needs careful attention. His pic
ture was necessary to the
rogues' gallery, therefore he was
sent to Poydras street photographer. For
temporary confinement he was imprisoned
in the first precinct station house, second
story. He had not been there more than
two hours before it was discovered that he
was rapidly working his way toward liberty,
going through the floor over head, into
the Recorders courtroom, at that time
vacant. As he seemed so handy with
his hands he was introduced to the
stocks, where he found a close fit.
Judge Houghton remembers that not
many weeks ago this lively fellow was be-
fore him for robbing party on st. Thomas
street, but gave bonds, and never returned.
At that time he used the name G. P. Monta-
mat. Then gentlemen connected with the
hat store were sent for to identify him.
This they did emphatically. The police
seem to think that he is not altogether un-
connected with several other bits of rascal
ity, as also is his brother James, at present
abiding in the Workhouse. 1t is not IN
likely Peter will keep him company during
the summer months.
PATROL DUTY IN HoRsECAR.-We have
refrained from giving publicity to scandal
Gus transaction, which came to the atten-
ton of Captain Lewis, fifth precinct, last
week, trusting that the Police Board would
take iudicious action in the premises; but
the Board apparently winking at the delin-
quencies on the part of some of its subordi-
mates, we give publicity to the facts as they
reached US.
Last week, Corporal Engel, fifth precinct,
entered street car late at night, refusing
or neglecting to pay his fare. When passing
the cross streets on the line, this luxurious
Corporal protruded his head from the car
and blew his whistle. Of course the driver
did not halt his vehicle to ascertain If the
patrolmen made any response to the call or
were on their beats or not. This ceremony
continued until he reached the limits of his
district when he withdrew from the car. The
passengers were full of jokes regarding the
corporars lazy habits, and the driver subse-
quently reported the transaction to Cap.
tain Lewis, who forwarded charges to the
Board; then, proposition to reduce the
culprit to the ranks was voted down, and
he escaped with fine of three days pay.
This, in the face of his Captains complaint
and assertion that the corporal is really in
efficient, is worthy of extended remarks.
1t is said that accused cannot read or write
the English language, or speak plainly the
language of his adopted country. He is
said, furthermore, to be native of Den
mark, and there are certain international
reasons in the Board why he should continue
to curse Captain Lewis and the police force
with his presence.
