The case of Morris Higgins was concluded
in the General Sessions yesterday. The pri-
soner is the hackman who In the early morn
ing Of January "a, in the Jersey City depot
Of the Pennsylvania Railroad. found Mary
O'Biien, q young maid-servant who was en-
route from Philadelphia to Providence. in
trouble about her baggage. She had express
ed it through to Providence, but ignorantly
supposed that she ought to see to it In her
changing OF c0nveyancas here. Having no
cheek, she could get no satisfaction from the
railroad baggage officials; and the poor girl,
bewildered BY her strange surroundings, and
fearful that she had lost all her worldly pos
sessions, including $195 which was in her
chest, was wandering about the depot, crying
and seeking for some one to give her informa-
tion. The prisoner told her he was baggage

protection Of policeman. He took her to
That humane officer allowed her several hours
to recover from her mental shock, aud then

At length, however, Captain Petty arrested

most sententious fashion possible, imposed
the penalty Of twenty years in State Prison a

Sheriff Libby of your city summoneda jury
on Monday at the Common Council room in
this city, to investigate the cause of the late
fire on Water street. The testimony is quite
voluminous, and we do not deem it expedient
to report it in full at the present stage of pro-
ceedings. We will merely remark that sus-
picions are entertained that the fire was not
the result of accident. At the present writ
ing the testimony has not been concluded, and
it may be some days before an authentic re.
port from the jury can be obtained. Messrs.
p. F. Sanborn, A. D. Knight and James At
kins, Jr., compose the jury.
