from Yesterdays Evening Edition.
A Daring Attempt Made to Break Open
Mr.. Tourne's Store, ON Royal street.
Between the hours of and 2o'clock this
morning, two unknown men were discovered
BY the private Waterman of the Citizens
Bank engaged in effecting an entrance into
Mr.. August N. Tourne's grocery store, No. 10
Royal street. The private Waterman imme-
diately gave chase, but the burglars succeeded
in making good their escape. On returning
to the establishment, it was discovered that
the bar had been removed and some halt
dozen shutters taken down.
This is one of the most daring attempts
that has ever before been tried in this city.
The Waterman, after coming out on the
street, called for assistance, and had the ever
watchful peelers on that beat been awake
these notorious burglars would have been cap
tured. We learn that large batch of noted
thieves and burglars are fast coming to this
city, and if the police show up as soon as they
did on this occasion, we can count on seeing
stores broken open and robbed every night in
the week.
The question is, where was the policeman
on the Royal street watch last night? Surely
one man ought to be spared in that, one Of
the most central localities in this city.
A HAM THIEF. - Solomon Brown lounged
around the grocery store of Mr.. John Barrett,
at the corner of Annunciation and Delord
streets. He wasfirst noticed there at o'clock
in the evening by Mr.. Barrett, who kept
continual watch from that hour until O'Clock,
when he commenced the work of closing shop
for the night.
After putting up one or two shutters, he
looked across the street and found that he had
disappeared. Thinking that something was
wrong, he walked to the Delord street entrance
to his establishment, when he noticed the
same suspicious individual making down the
street. The gentleman gave chase and sue
ceeded in running him into Officer Ryan's
arms, who was standing at the corner Of De-
lord and Chippewa streets, and at $50 o'clock
the expert Brown was landed in the Second
Precinct Strtion, where the grocery keeper
made the necessary charge Of larceny against
him
A GENTLEMAN FOLLOWED By TH1EvEs.-
Several complaints have reached us of late as
regards to crowds of men that congregate in
and around Lafayette Square after nightfall
About II 80 o'clock last night, as Mr. NJ. L.
Byrne was walking along South, between St.
Charles and Camp streets, he met two unknown
men standing at the entrance to the square,
who followed him to Camp street, as the gen.
tleman supposes tor the purpose of robbing
him. Mr.. Byrne, to get out OF their way, ran
into the boarding house, corner of South and
Camp streets. where he received assistance
from one of the waiting men in the house.
Mr. Byrne, after leaving the place, called at
the Central Station and reported the case to
Sergeant John NcCann, who, in company with
the gentlemen, repaired to the place, but, by
that time, the men had made their escape.
A FATAL FA1L.-About II 80 o'clock last
night, Officer Mccartney, while under the in
tiuence OF liquor, fell from the gallery OF his

WITH HIS LITTLE HATCHEr.-Last Mon
day, Denny Tezier, gardener, corner of Broad
and Abadie streets, pitched into visitor
named ]. Chevaier, with his little Ratchet and
was confident that the man had treated him
badly, but thinking that he possessed some
not .ble traits Of character, patiently waited un
til Wednesday morning for him to give him
self up. But Denny did not have the senti-
ments of young George Washington. Instead
of coming up like a man and acknowledging
that he was wrong, he waited at his house I'M
til o'clock last night, when peeler appeared
with warrant and marched him to the Fifth
Precinct Station. Even after being locked up
in a dungeon he refused to say that he had
struck the unfortunate man.

rear of the building was saturated with coal
oil also an old dress soaked with oil was
found burning in another part of the premises.

the neighbors and citizens without the neces-
sity of giving an alarm. Damage to the
building about $50.
A FALSE ALARM-A false alarm of fire was
turned in about 4:45 o'clock this A. NJ. by
