BRIEF MENTIoN.-COlonel c. w. Lowell
was out riding yesterday.
Good Friday was generally observed by
all classes of people.
Mr.. j. S. Delaney, an actor in the St.
Charles Theatre, can get over ground hur-
riedly, especially when James Kelly, with
shining bowie blade, is moving for him.
Kelly was arrested.
The levee about one mile above Algiers,
is reported as in such weak condition
that it is liable to cave in. A large portion
of the breakwater has been washed away
The price of skiffs has advanced.
John Gallagher and Bryan Lyons,
charged with stabbing Thomas Courtney,
have been released on bonds in $1,000.
This was done on the production of GER
tlhcate from surgeon, who declares that
Courtney's life ia not in danger.
The Algiers license man is gently chasing
vehicles which have no license.
John Jackson's mule behaved like bad
jack near Camp Parapet, whereupon John
drew an iron and shot the beast. A police
man took Jackson.
1t has been asserted that the market
value of Metropolitan Police warrants has
greatly declined since the City Hall
troubles began, but this is stoutly denied
by well posted money brokers. Fortunately
the Board Of Police Commissioners does
not issue any more of that paper.
James Hickey, who occasionally enters
into irregular financial transactions, was ar
rested in Mobile and brought here by detec-
tive Harris. Hickey's photograph is already
in the rogues' gallery.
Que of the sensations at present for
pressers of brick and chair bottomers, iof
the firm of Walker, Doolittle & Co., is'to
visit the levee and look at the river booming

SHARP PRACTICE.-For some years our
city has been infested by class of dis
reputable, dishonest persons who carry on
theiving business under the name of claim
agents. They are furnished certain
status by being constituted agents for GER
tain Northern houses which either do not
know or do not care for their IRREGULAR
Ties Ignorant colored people. widows of
soldiers, ETC., are usually the victims of
these sharpers, and they make their profits
by seeking out such and making them be-
iieve that in order to obtain their money it
Is necessary for them to go 10 a store on
Tchoupitoulas street or elsewhere and take
large orders in clothes, charging for same
very high rates, nearly ten times their
value.
One of these swindlers has been several
times arrested for such transac lions, but
has dever suffered the penalty he merits,
the witnesses usually being out of the way
before the trial has been concluded. Col
cred people to whom the government owes
bounty money can not be too careful with
whom they deal. We have the name of
ne.sry public in this city who charged an

4 RUNAWAY AND NO Bones BROKEN
Yesterday as the funeral of j. ii. Wingtield
was on Carondelet street, near st. Andrew,
team attached to one of the carriages,
which contained four Masons, became res
tive and the driver seemed Unable to ham
die them. In his efforts to pull in his horses
the lines broke, and off ran the team at
terrible speed down below Felicity street,
crashing posts and stepping stones freely.
Arriving at the corner Of Polymnia street,
the carriage was caught by stout awning
post, tearing the vehicle into kindling
wood, waking up the gentlemen inside. All
who saw it supposed the gentlemen would
certainly be killed or MANNED, but they
quietly stepped out, brushed themselves
and took seats in other hacks. There was
a little incident to the credit of the horses,
and which will interest Masons. When the
wheels caught the post and brought about
a sudden halt the team had stepped into a
large box of mortar, and seeing what the
substance was, naturally concluded that it
was an excellent place for Masons to stop.
1t is possible that the horses intended to
simply make joke.

Local Intelligence.

THE CITY HALL FINANCIAL TROUBLES
Were the reporter to accept and publish a
mOletv of the rumors in the air about our
City Hall, he would soon be candidate for
an insane asylum. The case is but little
better when talking to money brokers. As
sertions, broadly made, are heard in several
directions, but of these the less said per
haps, the better it will be, especially az a
committee has been appointed to make a
thorough investigation. That committee
had session Thursday and adjourned un,
til yesterday, when further time was asked
for and granted. Messrs Calhoun, Turn
bull and Fitzenreiter held a caucus yester-
day morning, but we're unwilling to COM
municate any Of the proceedings. One or
more money brokers will furnish testimony
concerning ring transactions, it is reported,
and when in proper form will probably be
given to press reporters. Administrator
Schneider and Mr.. Harrison, his chief clerk,
freely declare that they can and will make
out clear record. However, there is an
impression that it will be difficult task.
Mayor Witt says he intends to pursue the
case and have it sifted to the bottom, and
he means what he says. The investigating
committee will meet today.
Mayor Wilt has added Administrator
Brewster to the investigating committee.
and this morning the business will COM
mence in earnest.
There was rumor abroad last night that
MIR. Schneider had rendered his resignation,
but that is not the case.
Out Of this trouble has grown others, one
Of them being personal difficulty between
MIR. Jules Cassard, of the Germania Bank,
and Mr.. Levy, money broker. The latter
asserts that Mr. Cassard called him exceed
ingly bad names and drew q pistol on him,
and was only prevented using the weapon
by the interference of friends. Mr.. Levy
called at police headquarters to make
charge, last night, but did not find Judge
Macarthur.

SEEKING HOME IN THE MISSISSIPPI
Yesterday as the Canal ferryboat was cross
ing the river, a we'll dressed young man,
but whose name is unknown, spoke to a
passenger saying that he believed he would
drop himself into the water He then
quietly walked overheard and was drowned
and that is all that is known about the cir
cumstance. When the man made the state
ment it was not noticed or believed. other
wise an attempt would have been made to
prevent the tragedy.

A COUPLE OF FIRES.-Between two and
three o'clock yesterday morning fire was
discovered in an uneccupied frame house on
Music near Urquhart street, owned by John
Sanders, and was entirely DESTROYED. In
sured in the Germania office for $500.
The fire communicated to an adjoining
one-story frame dwelling house, owned and
occupied by John Sanders. This was also
entirely destroyed, the loss being upward of
$1,000, while the insurance was only 5000.
The fire then spread to the adjacent one
story frame dwelling house, owned by John
Sanders and occupied by several families.
This was entirely lost, the damage being
the same as the last one and insured for
like amount.
With the destruction of one-story frame
house on Urquhart street, between Arts and
Music, owned and occupied by Mrs. Hotf-
man, the fire was finally checked. The loss
to this house was about $1,000, while the in
surance was only $500.
At halfpast eight o'clock yesterday morn
ing fire was discovered in the twOstOry
brick house at the corner Of Irene and
CarOndelet walk, owned by Mme. Mas
querez, and occupied by Pierre st. Blanck
as ajunk shop. The fire originated in the
second story Of the building, where there
stuff, and the building suffered damage to
the amount of about $500 and the junk
shop $50.
There would doubtless have been an ex-
tensive flame, in consequence of the COM
bustible nature of the material in the shop,
were it not for the prOmptness of the alarm
and the alacrity of the firemen. The cause
of the fire is unknown to those who would
like to know.

CONDITION OF THE LOWER LEVEES.-The
coast packet Hensley arrived, and her Off
GERS report some disagreeable news to in
terested parties. Last Monday there was a
small crevasse at the Fairview levee, but
it was closed before night. This was prob
ably caused by strong easterly wind, which
backed the water, sending it up to almost
high water mark. The levee not far from
Poverty Point was Overflowed, and Mr.. L.
+. Jack, of the Monsecour plantation, put
all his hands at work to avert flood.
Considerable water went over the levee last
Wednesday. At st. Sopheville there was
a break last Tuesday morning, caused by a
fume used to obtain water for rice fields.
The damage was remedied by the arrival
of large number of men from the adioin-
ing farms. Recent storms have weakened
the levee from Fairview to Point-a-la-
Hache, and trouble is expected; therefore
a watch is kept day and night
At Jesuit's Bend there is constant fear of
a crevasse, and when steamers pass the
waves rush over the levee. A short dis
lance above ROnquille settlement planters
have relied on their own resources to pre-
vent calamity, and have succeeded in a
degree. Here, too, the high wind has
proved source of great danger, and the
current is very strong.
All the lower plantation crops are uncom-
monty forward, and if the planters escape
the disasters of an overflow they expect to
gather abundant harvests. In case of
crevasse many will be SO nearly RUNE d that
they will be unable to resume operations
next season.

They DID NOT GO FIsHING.-A neat lit
lie arrangement was concocted last Tues
day to play a heavy April fool on P. g.
but chance prevented fultllment. 1t is
an undoubted fact that Patrick is fond of
fishing, so few of his intimate acouaint.
ances prepared what was pretended to be a
delicate pscatOrial excursion. The party
was made, and list of the favored ones
written on card, but the place to visit
was kept secret from z. G. 1t was intended
10 have ample preparation, or pretend to,
ana early Wednesday morning, having
hlIed his mind with brilliant pictures of the
expected sport at the new place, and then
10 lead the victim up to the slmiest section
OF Melpomene street canal, where the water
IS so impure that snakes can not exist.
Then all were to drop in hooks aud lines
with as much seriousness as possible, and
induce Z. G. to do likewise. This was a
portion of the programme which failed,
and the April fOolers were fooled. How
ever, in the absence of that sport, the gen.
tlemen will combine tomorrow night and
assist in giving Mr.. Gleason a rousing ben
EFT at the St. Charles Theatre.
FUNERAL OF JAMES Fl. WINGFIELD.-
Long before the announced hour last even
ing an immense number of citizens cengre-
gated at the house Of the late J. III. Wing
held, to pay the last tribute. First came
Lodge, of which deceased had been men,
Der, and they took charge of the funeral
ceremonies. Hundreds of tiremen, from near
ly every company in this department, were
present in uniform, for most of them had
known deceased when he was chief engi-
neer, and long after he had ceased to take
an active part. His old company, Persever-
ance No. ID, was well represented, and Mis-
sissippi No. 2, the last company to which he
was attached, turned out strong, taking the |
lead. There were eight pail bearers-four |
firemen, two Masons, and two railroad rep |
resentatives. Following the carriages were |
/. n. Marks, Thomas O'Connor, c. G. Elan |
agan, Il. A. Burke, f. Blessey, and others,
all passing along with solemn step, ccca. |
sionally narrating some prominent incident |
III the active life of deceased. Following
were about 400 firemen. all in neat uni
forms, making a striking picture. Many |
carriages closed the procession, and as it |
passed along thousands Of people wished
deceased a calm sleep. The funeral was one
OF the most remarkable that has occurred
in many years. The body was buried in the
tiremen's cemetery.
