GONE Down FOR TRIAL.--On more than
one occasion lately schOoners and steamers
in the New Basin were sold by person
who had cases or packages to ship to per
sons over the lake or in Florida. He would
call on the master of a vessel and inquire if
he could take the package to port named.
If the reply was ''yes," the young man
would send box to the vessel, when he
would state that the firm or house shipping
had a claim of few dollars which must be
paid at once. "The captain could pay the
charges, and collect, with his freight, on
delivery The captain would pay, but
when he arrived at his destination he could
not find the cohsignee. Waiting week or
two, the captain or agent would grow tired
and suspicious.
Opening the box or package, the discovery
was made that it contained second hand
brick and straw, or something not quite as
useful or ornamental. Then attention
would be turned toward the swindler who
shipped the box. He would be discussed
and cussed and sharp eyes would be on the
lookout for him.
Two weeks ago a schooner captain at the
New Basin was requested to pay charges
on a package for person over the lake,
and the bait was apparently swallowed; but
at the right time policeman was near to
collar the fancy shipper, under the mild
charge of obtaining money by false pre-
lenses. He was imprisoned, giving his
name as c. A. Tlieneman. Several victims
identified him at police headquarters. Yes
terday Recorder HoughtOn examined the
case, and found evidence sufficient to COM
NIT acc used to the Criminal Court for trial.
The trick is an old one, and was repeat
eddy tried on river boats years ago. The
can have a poor chance for
evasion, as the job must have required de-
liberation and evident intent to commit a
rank crime. We publish the facts, hoping
to save carriers from losses in future.

The first grand Industrial Exposition
continues to be a success. Jaeger's band
plays early in the evening from the st.
Charles street balcony, attracting the
throngs of people who pass through that
street, and later in the evening the same
band plays from the Carondelet street bal
eony, furnishing delicious music for the
mult;tudes who gather around the building
in front, and deEghting those who prom
enade through the spacious fine art hall.
During the day Exposition Hall is visited
by many people, but by ten times as many
in the evening, when the elegant display of
goods seems much more elegant under the
gaslight.
It is fashionable to GO there, and that is
what sends hundreds, we might say thou
sands, there nightly, who are not dis%p-
pointed, but, on the contrary, are delighted
with what they see. Admission only twenty
fveIcents.

CRIMINAL CoURT.-The motion for new
trial in the case of Earle and Garvey, con-
victed for the second time of the murder
of Mrs. zollinger, was refused.
Josephine Taylor, alias Sarah Gordon,
alias Mexican Tiger, charged with assault
and battery two cases), on Sarah Williams
and George Thompson, was acquitted.
1t seems that the accused was for eight
months in the Parish Prison, and when she
came out found that all her clothing had
been stolen in the meantime. To bring her
into jail again, some parties charged her
with assault and battery.
