Running a Muck.

A negro rouster became obstreper0us
at the elevator building yesterday be-
cause his slumbers we're disturbed by
the Waterman. The negro took refuge
behind pile Of briekbats and entrenched
himself, after whipping a few darkies
who took sides with the Waterman. One
gentleman connected with the elevator
coIlided with brick thrown by the gen.
tleman within the fort Captain Billy
Dill. with that courage which always
courts danger, rushed out TO the scene
Of the conflict, but a few well directed
brickbats drove his forces back in dis

The Fire Plugs Ye.terdav.

Yesterday, during the fire, the hy-
drant on the corner of Vance and eau
sey streets failed to work, and this gave
rise to considerable comment, It being
boldly stated by the average man that
the Water-works we're a failure. To-day
the hydrant was examined under the
direction of Chief Anderson OF the
Fire Department. Over a peck Of
stones, brick-bats and pieces of wood
we're found in the hydrant which
mass resisted the seventy pound pres
sure, and prevented the flow Of water.
The stuff was thrown in by boys when the
mains. were being put down, and was

force forming therein an obstruction

cleared a hose vas attached, and the
stream Of water was driven through a
briek wall eighteen inches in thickness.

.yoo Much Enterprise.

AS a rule the city police, under the
very able management of Chief Athy
and his efficient Captains, Weatherford
and Smith, are q competent and deserv-
ing body of men, but occasionally case
will come to light where some of them
are over jealous in the performance OF
and transcend their duties by making
arrests when there is no occasion for
it, and even no grounds upon which to
make them. This was the case night
before last with patrolmen Maloney and
Clements, who arrested and had locked
up in the Adams street station-house
negro boy named Luke Ballard, who
had only been released from the
custody of the State officers a
few hours previous upon a bond
of $1,000 for malicious shooting, and
had but a short time before reached
his home, from where the officers named
took him, and without even making a
charge against him or placing his name
upon the docket, locked him up. They
supposed, perhaps, there was mitti-
mus against him for city ofense, when
there was none, and did not even take
the trouble to examine the records to
see, thereby placing the city government
in a position where, if brought, suit for
heavy damages for false Imprisonment
might easily be gained for their prisoner
in any court. We would advise officers
Maloney and Clements to be more par
ticular in the future in examining the
records, which are always at their dis
