LARCENY FROM THE WHARFBoAT-
Saturday about noon, Edwar NJ Marsh
and Henry Hushman were prowling
round the wnarfboat. Seeing a pack
age that had been shipped by Greer q
Laing, containing knives, forks and
spoons, they took it and made off.
John Crockard, who has charge of the
wharfboat, as soon as he learned Of the
larceny, started out after the thieves.
After searching pretty much all after
noon, he struck their trail, found where
they had sold their plumber, and made
the necessary arrangements for their
arrest About 9 o'clock his patience
and perseverance were rewarded by the
capture of the men. They were taken
before Squire Gillespy, who, after a
hearning Of the case, committed them
to Jail in default Of 5000 each.

,,,r,r,r-In the police court

POLICE CouRr-In the police court,
on Saturday, disorderly cases had de-
cided majority; so were persons named
william. We suppose there is no cois-
cidence about that, though.
William Kelley attended the races
on Friday afternoon. Williams judg-
ment went back on him" as the boys
say. The result was William invested
in the wrong horse and lost his stamps.
The loss riled William, and when the
race finished he went for James Patter-
son, the driver of Scroggins,, and abused
him at a fearful rate Patterson stood
it for a while, and then raised his whip
and gave the gentle William blow on
the head with it. The two were
promptly arrested. Kelley was fined
s. and costs and Patterson 81 and costs.
William Bargold was up for being
drunk. Bargold was flattened out near
Kulrs stable, in Centre Wheeling, over
come with fusil oil. Bargold was
drawn to the calaboose. Judge Good
required him to come down with the
collateral to the amount of 81 and costs
or take ten days geology.
William Carney was on the war path
on Friday evening. Being melted by
the load of fusil he had taken in, he
commenced throwing bricks at every
body in the neighborhood Of the alley
between Zane and John near Seventh
street, East Wheeling. One of the mis-
siles struck boy named Lashley, on
the head, inficting very ugly wound.
He was fined $40 and costs, or twenty
days.
Richard Blackson took on too much
of load before going to the Fair
Grounds. Showing a disposition to
create disturbance, he was promptly
arrested. He was fined s. and costs,
or twenty days.

An OUTRAGE.-A few evening since
a man named William Morgan called
at Young & Huseman and engaged a
carriage to take him up the pike about
five miles from Bridgeport. When the
carriage was returned, it was found that
the vandal had cut all the curtains, and
cushions and scratched and marred the
wood work in a shameful manner. Ed
Young quietly laid for him." and or
Saturday was successful in finding him
and causing his arrest. Morgan was
taken before Squire Gillespy, and in de-
fault of giving bail in the sum of 500
was sent to Jail.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT
A Boy Run Over BY. the
Street Cars.
HE Is INSTANTLYKILLED

Saturday evening. between seven and
eight o'clock, James Wagner Shriver
Of this city. was playing with several
other boys at the Suspension bridge
corner chasing each other around the
abutments Of the bridge and across the
streets. Just as Jimmy ran out from
the abutment he fell under the wheels
Of passing street car. The car wheel
passed from his shoulder across the
breast, crushing him so that he died
almost instantly. .....-. ,, a
The car was No. Is, running tc
Bridgeport, and the horses were going
at a brisk walk al the time. There
were some ten or twelve persons seated
in the car, and three or four on the resI
platform. ...
The body was taken to Logan, List
& Co.'S drug store, and afterwards to
the residence OF his grandfather.
The blow is a heavy one on the boy:
grandfather and aunts, by whom he
was almost idolized. and the scene
when the dead body of their pet was
taken to them was heartrending and
almost beyond description
James was an uncommonly bright
and interesting child, and was loved
and petted by all who knew him, and
his sudden death is a terrible blow to
the friends Of the family and to all
with whom the child was a favorite.
No blame attaches to the car driver.

A Ferocious Woman.

The following petition has been receiv-
ed by the Michigan Legislature. 1t is
written on perfumed paper, and is signed
by Mrs Sarah Martin, Of St. Joseph.
Gentlemen My Bible tells me the le-
gend of a life for life,' but, modern
law makers have legend of their own,
entirely dsregarding the commands of
the disciples. am in favor of hanging
murderers, and of partially hanging those
who assault with intent to kill. l think
the time has come when all mock senti-
ment should be done away with, and the
sacrifice of life punished to the fullest
extent. | am no enthusiast on this idea,
but, in case such law was enacted, and
there was any difficulty in obtaining a
hangman,I would willingly act in that ca
pacity, without pay or hope of pay. In
fact, hereby put in my claim to be ap-
pointed State Executioner, and to exc
cute all the murderers to be executed un-
der the proposed new law, | have attend
ed several executions, and will guarantee
to make no blunders. Ua f6

An Important Decision.

In the Supreme Court of Pennsylya-
MIA, the following decision regarding the
filling up of blank promissory note, is
worthy the attention Of every person who
ever expects to be obliged to fill out such
document:
An ordinary promissory note was filed
up for the payment of one hundred dol
lars. After the note was made, the payee,
it is asserted, added the words and fifty
thus making it promisory note for one
hundred and fifty dollars. This note was
passed into the hands of an innocent third
party, who claimed the full sum named
in the note. On an appeal to the Su-
preme Court it was decided that the
drawer was liable, he having invited the
fraud by his own negligence 1t is well
known that there is blank space on all
printed promissory notes where the full
amount of money to be paid is written,
and that at the end of this blank space
the word "dollars" is printed. d
The Supreme Court declared that it
was negligence on the part Of the drawer
in not drawing line between the written
word hundred" and the printed word
" dollars" and that where such negli-
gence existed, and there was nothing on
the face of the note that showed any al
teration, the drawer was liable. The
Chief Justice added that the Supreme
Court deemed such rule necessary to
facilitate the circulation of comm ercial
paper, at the same time to increase the
care of drawers This rule is only to
apply, however, where an alteration is
not apparent on the face Of the paper.

Duel in a Crowded School Room.

The Bucyrus (Ohio) Forum, of the
oath ult., says: Last Saturday, in a
crowded schoolhouse in Sandusky town
ship, three miles east of Annapolis, at
the closing of school, duel was fought
with pistols. James McCasky and U. S.
Greene had cultivated grudge and both
had been carrying loaded pistols. After
the examination of a class, the teacher
allowed spectators to ask questions to
test the proficiency of the pupils. U. S.
Greene began asking questions, and Mr..
McCasky drew his pistol and fired Five
or six shots were fired, one of the par
ties receiving severe flesh wound. 1t
is wonderful that so many shots were
fred in a room crowded with men, wo-
men, and children, and so little injury
done. One little girl, seeing how the pis-
tolls were pointed, jumped away from her
seat, which was Immediately afterwards
pierced with two bullets. One of the
shots blackened the side of the teach
er's face. Mr.. Greene is in Jail, and
Mr.. McCasky is under recognizance in
$1,000. ''.'1i
