SpcishtS SD0ttcrs-A Vile Conspiracy Against
m Omcer.
Commissioner Brennan and his audience at the
Central once yesterday were pleasantly enter
tanned by the hearing Of evidence in complaints
against policemen. Some forty blues were tried.
The only important cases are:-
A CANDIDATE FOR PROMOTION.
The Second precinct, Captain De Camp, presented
a singular case. From the evidence 1t appears that
patrolman named Martin Cooper, thinking
that his roundsman (Rogers) had spite
against, him resolved to square accounts" On the
9th inst. he saw his side partner, W. A. Carpenter,
conversing with citizen for fourteen minutes and
saw the roundsman pass during he time, and fail to
take Carpenter to task Coo per felt that Rogers had
no rgnt 70 let up Carpenter and he timed the lat
ter. cooper Kept memoranda quietly for future
use. On the night OF the 18th inst. he saw Rogers
enter anu remain IN building thirty-fye minutes.
Instead OF patrong his post he stood and timed his
rounnsman; ana tnen, thinking he had the dead
ported his discoveries. The matter was referred
against w DnS ROGERS TSSx @ Or
dered Captain De Camp 70 prefer charges against
Cooper for timing them instead Of patrong. At
the hearing Cooper admitted he had feeling against
Rogers, and ne timed him and preferred the charge
against him and Carpenter, to punish the roundsman
sioner Brennan informed Cooper that he would re-
commend his dismissal, so he could no longer play
the part of roundsman, ana acqult Rogers and Car

VILE CONSPIRACY.
One OF the best officers In the Twentyseventh pre-
cnct is John L. Lockwood, who has displayed so
much prompiness that all the roughs OF the First ward
and their political hackers hate him. On the night
0l the 10th officer Dunn and other policemen heard
disorderly proceedings in dance house kept by
John Horstmann at No. q Rector street. Calling to
his assistance others officers, including Lockwood,
he entered and arrested the inmates, with the ex-
ceDti0n OF Henry Fox, barkeeper, who hid away In
hall OF from the barrOom. Fox charges that while
looking through hole In the door leading from his
retreat TO the barr00m he saw Lockwood take from
the drawer six silver watches and 81 30 In money
which he did not turn In at the desk. The evidence
showed that Lockwood in May last arrested
Fox, who took this means to be revenged that none
OF Lockwood's companions saw HIM take the pro-
perty, and that Fox told different stories to what
the property consisted OF. Witnesses were produced
who testified that Fox was 'bad beat unworthy
of belief under oath. The evidence against Dunn,
charged with falsely arresting the inmates of the
den was equally unreliable although the proprietor
Of the place swore the officer attempted to black
mail him.

From the st. Louis Republican. June 23.l
The arrival OF the NatcheZ, only three days,
twenty one hours and lrty-eight minutes from New
Orleans, has revived the interest in fast river
steamers. The large number Of our citizens who
collected on the wharf and on board the Natchez
attest the fact that all interest in swift steamers has
not been lost The event OF yesterday also recalled
the great run OF the j. M. White, which steamer
arrived from New Orleans on the 9Th Of May. 1S44-
three days. twentyth hours ana nine minutes out
from New Orleans. AS a matter OF interest
produce the feelings with which this trip was viewed
IN the long ago, as preserved in the columns of the
manded the White on that memorable voyage. His
name has passed down to history. and will be trans
mitted to posteriy TIL all interest in the navigation
OF the great river swallowed up In the grand for
ever. But another name will be recorded in the
same v0lume-,hat of Captain T. z. Lcathers.

How TO ACr m AN EVENT OF Bur.
aLARY.-As burglary has become quite
common In our midst, we have thought
tho reproduction Of the following rules
might be of some service to those who
may receive calls from midnight prowlers:
/. Lie vcrysti and draw the bedclOthes
over your head. ...H
2. Sit up and listen. ag.+ gsaH
.. Pinch your vito and tell her she
ought to be ashamed Of herself ..r
4. Tell her to 60 down stairs and see
what's the matter.
3. Call out the servants to order the rob-
bcS Oft the premises.
O. Irthc burglars still persist in their
neIariOus purpose, go to tho landing and
ask them II they know what they are
about. -.
Z. If they don't desist now, make your
wife tell them that In your opinion they
arc wicked men, and that you have great
mind to be angry.
s Say you arc very dangerous when you
are once aroused.
0. Beg them to leave quietly, and so OBJ
viatc lhG necessity OF n disturbance In the
house. ......
To- Ask them II they wouldn't like some
cold meat and pickles, and a glass Of bcCl
and pipe.
II. Let them have what they like, dc
what they like, and give them dollar
each besides, When they've gone bring
out your pistols and send for policeman,
II, Go to bed again, and say that the
only reason why you didn'tgO down stain
at tlrst, punch ali their heads, shoot them.
and take them prisoners, was that you did
not want TO disturb the neighbOrS.
