How IT is DoNE.-On Friday evening
some of Captain Malones detective officers
received information Of proposed burg
larry, which they felt it their duty to pre-
vent. Consequently, at about eleven
o'clock, at the corner of Julia and Baron ne
streets, two well known characters nam ed
E. B. Malone, alias Kineh, and Js Labord
were arrested by Special Officer Ward, an d
locked up in the first precinct station. The
following morning they were taken before
Acting Recorder Bonzano and discharged.
that magistrate refusing to allow the Off
Ger making the arrest to testify in the case.
And still the question is asked, why do not
the police do something to put stop to the
frequent robberies being committed by the
gangs of outlaws now infesting the city,
The SPIEL MARKE TRADE.-Several ar
rests have been made by the police lately
of that class of men who make living by
selling to unsOphisticated countrytrymen
spiel markes or imitation gold coin for
greenbacks. One of the most noteworthy
cases was that of eolored man named
Spencer Mcclellan, who imposed on Texas
traveller in this manner, and who, after his
arrest, was fully identified by his victim.
Mcclellan was at once released on "straw"
bond by the recorder, and his case has
been continued from week to week, nearly
half q dozen times. The prosecutor has
been in attendance every time the case has
been continued, but it is expected he will
get worn out some time or other, and when
he is called will not answer to his name,
and then the accused will be discharged
for want of evidence against him.
The Association of German Draymen
last night gave its friends much reasonable
recreation in fancy dress and calico ball
at Exposition Hall. The arrangements
were very complete and all present seemed
to enjoy themselves without stint. Credit
is due the several committees for their good
management; the music was harmonious,
the dancing was graceful and the dressing
in fine taste.
SACRED CoNcERT.-Our readers are in
formed that this evening at six O'Clock a
sacred concert will be given in the Church
of Notre Dame OF the Sacred Heart, by
Mile. Maureau, the organist. We have
been politely furnished with programme,
and can vouch for it as being an uncom
monty attractive one. The selections are
of high order. Between the first and sec
end parts Rev. Father Reville will deliver
a sermon.
CATHOLIC CHURCH 1rEMs.-We CLEAN the |
following interesting items from the Mor,s- |
ing Star of to-day:
Last Wednesday evening the Very Rev |
erend Thomas Burke, o. p, left the city |
for Memphis, on the steamer City Of Quincy. |
Father Burke's health, we are sorry to |
state, has been so sadly impaired that he |
had Just received an order from his physl- |
clan to cease preaching, when on Tuesday
last he received a letter from the Vicar
General OF his ORDER IN Rome, ulrGCJlng nun
to conclude the visitation of his province
and then to proceed Immediately to that
city, the death of the Superior General of
the order rendering necessary meeting OF
all the Superlors.
The third and last public session of the
Provincial Council will be held to-day at
the Cathedral. The Catholic societies will
meet at the Cathedral at nine o'clock, with
out music or banners, and will form an
escort for the ecclesiastical procession,
which will leave the archiepiscOpal resi-
dence at ten o'clock precisely.
The mass will be said by Bishop Martin,
of Natchitoches, who will officiate pontih-
cally. After mass Bishop Fitzgerald, of
Little Rock will preach in English. After
the sermon the session of the Council will
take place, during which the secretary will |
read the DEGREES, which will be submitted |
to the Bishops for their approval. The cefe-
monies will conclude with Papal benedic-
ton and the singing of the TIE Deum.
