Pond, on Canal street, on the evening of the
Goth nit. 1t seems that these two men have
been employed in the establishment some
{ pears rs warehousemen. Just as the fire
was discovered by parties outside and an
alarm rung, they were seen to slide down
one of the posts of the building facing on
Canal street, having made their exit
through one of the second-story windt WIS.
They assign, as a reason for these strange
proceedings, their inability to leave the
building in any other manner, as they were
not in possession Of key to open the door
Detective Devereux, however, is prepared to
prove that there was another key in the
building, which they might have used For
some days past there has been going on,
before Judge Laresche, of the Third Justice
Court, private court of inquiry set afoot
by the Board of Underwriters, which
resulted in the arrest of the two parties
above named.

Arthur, who set their bonds at $500 each.

| About half-past 9 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, difficulty occurred in the "Smile" bar
room, No BarOnne street, between GeoW.
Sniff, the proprietor, and Pete Callan, his
bar keeper, in which the former suffered a
loss of three front teeth at the hands of the
latter who did not hesitate to make free use
of the tumblers around him. Not content
with this he made an attempt to seize his re-
volver lying behind the counter. Sniff, how
ever was somewhat too active and imme-
diately closed with his assailant. and the
shot which followed past out of the window
through car and struck the building oppo-
site. The difficulty arose out of money mat
tiers.
A Pistol Shot. 5...z
About $50 o'clock yesterday afternoon,

was somewhat startled by the fire Of a pis-
toll shot. There was quite number of idlers
| standing around and about the bar-roum at
the time. An investigation, however, failed
to throw any light either upon the party
who caused the excitement or the nature of
the difficulty.
CarrOllton has had sad sensation. An
other poor unfortunate, weary Of the trials |
and tribulations of this life, yesterday
severed his connection with this world by |
committing suicide. Henry Heneril is a |

has been remarked that his mind was in

An Elopement.
The Second District was considerably eX-
cited over an elopement, which took place
about four nights ago. 1t seems that a young
apothecary, who holds forth not far from ST.
Peter street, has been for some time past
gazing in mute admiration on a beautiful
creole belle, who now and then appeared at
her window. The charms Of the fair one
were too strong for the knight OF the NOR
tar and pestle, and after many exchanges of
mods and waving of handkerchiefs, the pair [
agreed to elope.
The father of the lady was fierce when he
first heard that his daughters affection was
drifting towards the youthful druggist but
he was kept in state of blissful ignorance '
up to the time of the eventful night A l
rope ladder and dark lantern effected the F.,
desired result, and now the two are happy t
10 the possession of what they so eagerly
sought for. t
