down Prytania street out of sight and hear
sing. The officer says he does not know the
rascals.
WHAT DOES IT MEANe-A grocery on

teas for sale. Does it mean mOthers-in.law

A CENTENARIAN.-AnA lgiers policeman,
when walking his beat, found an aged man,

properly cared for by the police.

INcEND1ARfsM.-Tuesd evening before
sunset the dwelling house No. l64 Elvsian

the place was saved. Early yesterday
morning another attempt was made to burn
the house, but proved failure. About
four O'Clock yesterday morning an effort
was made to burn the residence OF mr.. "A;
was nearly successful. The fire was extin.
guished, but not before 500 worth OF
damage had been done.
