woman who came to this city about TWO weeks
ago from Savannah, was arrested last evening
BY Detectives Davis and Burke upon various
charges. A silver watch, found in her posses
sion, she acknowledges to have taken from
the pocket Of the possessor while she was on q
visit to female friend in his yard. Soon after
she entered house on East Bay during rain
for the ostensibe purpose of keeping dry, and
left with a suit of clothes belonging to her
chance host. She was captured in Church
street with large piece OF jeans, bolt OF
which she confessed 10 have stolen and dis
posed OF, with the exception OF the piece found
In her possession. Among her contraband ar
ticles also is handsome rug, with several
fowls embroidered upon 1t. The reasons OF her
emigration from Savannah and the numerous
aliases she bears are suspected, but the savan-
nah police can better elucidate them than any
body here.

A PUGSAc1ous HUsBAND-Edward Thomp-
son, colored man, came to the city few
days ago from Barnwell County, whittier he
had fed from warrant taken out against
him by his wife, to whom he had there admin
istered a severe castIgation. AS soon as the
edge of his welcome was over, Edward be-
thought himself of q stout hickory staff,
which he had cut in his exile, while nourish-
ing sweet hopes of revenge. The wife saw
the danger, and disturbance ensued, and
before he knew what was going on, Edward
found himselfiu the hands Of the police, and
was locked up. His air of injured innocence
worked wonders with the Mayor, and Edward
was discharged. In the meantime, his wife
had taken out warrant against him for
breach of the peace, and shortly after Edward
was released from the Guardhouse he was ac-
costed by Trial Justice Schroder's constable,
who attempted to arrest him in Church street,
near Broad. BY this time, Edward wanted to
fight in earnest, and driving his knife, made
a lunge at the official. The latter, in warding
of the blow, received stab in his left hand.
Edward followed up the attack with his stick,
and gave the constable several severe blows
before the bystanders interfered, and the ar
rest was made. The prisoner was taken be-
fore Trial Justice Schroeder, and committed to
jail, charged with beach Of the peace and
with an assault with deadly weapon on the
constable. The latter case will be tried at the
Court OF General Sessions.
