him as dead as the animals that came
over in Noah's ark.
Miguel G. Begues was arrested for having
stolen three dollars in specie from Henry
Arnold while on the steamship Grange,

more.

Moore stole twenty-n nine current dollars
from him, from off the steamship Florida,

feelings of the deepest regret that We record
the death of Robert Pringle, one of our
most charitable and well-knOwn citizens

The corner of Claiborne and Gasquct streets

ALWAYS noted for its cleanliness, il not god
liness, but recently the place has so changed
that an old timer would not know it. 1t is
reformed and reconstructed, painted and
pictured. The front Office il left PLAIN ioi
general business, but the rear room. for the
CAPTAINS privacy, is really unique. The
lower walls are paneled, each panel appro
priately illuminated with some article per
tanning to police business, besides profile I"
Admiral Farragut and a monitor, all palntc'
quite artisticalIy. An oil painting hanging
on the wall shows how the Federal fee
passed Fort Jackson. In the transoln oVel
the middle door is fine combination o
artistic machinery, including real and ian
eiful. driven by an invisible power-wind
created by Dumas. We mean that the ma
chinery, not the wind, was created ol
Dumas. The rooms are now cheerful, an'
.:ficers are not impelled to seek more en-
lcng places.
