SwINDLING SERVANT GIRLS. George Haus
was taken into custody this morning upon the
charge of swindling servant girls. He appeared
at the residence of Mr.. Farr, No. 1919 Spruce
Ellen Riley, the servant girl. The latter ap-
pearing, he presented note purporting to come
from Catharine Sullivan, a servant employed
at Twenty first and Delaney place. The note
Riley recollected that not long since a sister of
Miss Sullivan was swindled out of 81 in like
manner, and suspicion was at once aroused. A
policeman was sent for and Haus was taken
into custody. He denied any intention of
swindling the girl, and said that man met him
al Twentieth and Spruce streets and asked him
to deliver the note. Haus will have hearing
at the Central this afternoon.

THE BROTHERS RuRNS.

How They Were Arrested and How They
Went o'scot Free''-Peter Again In the Slip
pery Clutches Of the Law.
Joseph and Peter Burns two brothers notori-
ous In criminal annals were, about year ago,
instrumental in robbing the safe of Friedenberg,
the pawnbroker at Seventh and Poplar streets.
While at their nefarious work, private watch
men, not quite so doltish as those who guarded
the1Kensington Bank, surprised them, and, aided
by another officer, secured them. They were
brought before Alderman Kerr, and having
heard the evidence against them, which was
prinsd fdcie he committed them to prison to
await trial. They were brought into court and
after being penned in the dock for some
days without any appearance of speedy trial,
the Court admitted them to bail. But the
Brothers Burns went back on the magnanimity
of the Court and were no sooner out than in
the police vernacular, they Jumped their bail"
The learned Court then issued bench warrants
for their arrest, and second time they were
taken in custody and second time admitted to
bail. Joe remained in the city, and he can be
daily seen about the streets, waiting for his
trial; but Peter, with that restless appe
tite for crime which characterizes the
Brothers Burns proceeded, in company
with third brother, John, to Norristown,
where they were found in the possession of
neat kit of burglars tools. That something evil
was intended was by the sagacious Norristo-
mans at once surmised, and John and Peter
found themselves in JAIL A couple of days ago
Peter made an application to be admitted TO
bail, and at once a detainer by our authorities
escaped from prison through this artifce than
Detectives Miller and Fletcher arrived with q
bench warrant, took him in custody and
brought him to this city. This morning. he was
taken into court, but, in the absence of the
Judge, was brought back to cell No. 4, Central
Station. We fear the farce of admitting him to
bail that he may jump off to perpetrate his vii
laDies somewhere else will again be re.enacted.
ASSAULT ON PoLIoEMEN.-Yesterda after
noon an officer of the Twelfth district attempted
to make arrest at Twenty-sixth street and
Girard avenue, and was set upon and beaten
Other officers who came to his assistance were
treated in like manner. Finally squad Of
policemen from the Ninth district reached the
scene and succeeded in arresting some of the
assailants. They had hearing before Alderman
Allison and were held TO answer.
CoRoNER's INQUEsT.-The Coroner this
morning held an inquest upon the body of DR..
Evan Dudley homeopathic physician, who
was found dead in bed yesterday morning in the
house where he lodged, No. 1908 Walnut street.
The verdict of the jury was that the deceased
came to his death from incautiously taking an
overdose of morphia.

Tho Dlsasreements Between Councils and the

The Disasreements Between Councils and the
Board of Educatlon-The Latter Caught In
Its own Trap.
The Board of School Control has been caught
in its own trap. Some years ago, having been
voted by Councils large annual appropriation,
to prevent subsequent appropriations from being
less than that one the members of the board
hastened to Harrisburg and had passed law
which had this effect, that whenever Councils
failed to make by the 1st of December of each
year the appropriation for the ensuing year,
there should be no change in the amount from
that voted for the year just ending. This
action on the part of the Controllers greatly
heightened the animosity which has always ex-
listed between them and the Council
biased by this feeling, in various modes
STAYED off making the appropriation for the
schools on the 1st of December last. Now,
therefore, the Board of Education, instead of
receiving what it so eagerly asked for, an APP
preparation of nearly one million and half, for
the year 1871, is perforce required by the act of
Assembly to accept what 1t received In 1870,
viz, 81 205 515. In the $500 900 extra which they
insisted on was to have been found the means
to increase the salaries of the teachers, and for
many proposed improvements that had been
clamored for for years. and which sum we have
reason to believe would have been voted had not
the Board of Education rushed up to Harrisburg
without first having had a conference with the
Councilmen. Whenever a department usurps
what the City Fathers declare to be their powers,
q long and exciting conflict generally ensues.
Councils have not yet made the annual appro-
priation, and the financial matters of the Board
of Education have come to a comparative stand
STILL No warrants have been drawn since the
first of the year, and the teachers have not been
able to possess their meagre moathly stipends.
But three warrants have been issued by the
board, but they belong to different appropria-
ton. There have been number of meetings
of committees to arrange matters, bat, un-
fortunately, the appropriation has not yet been
made. Another meeting will be held tonight
at the Clerks of Councils office, Fifth and Ches
nut streets.
