FOUND OUT TIE GAS LAMPS WERE NOT
BURNING. Corporal Nichols Of the Pacanier
Second Precinct, from Felicity to Delord
streets, as not burning between the hours of
7 and o'clock Z. NJ. We are under
the impression that they were out
during the entire night, but suppose
the corporal did not return after that
hour to find out whether they were burning
or not. It was very dark last night and per-
haps he was afraid of some banditti, who in
| fest that precinct. If the lamps are out again
tonight and you want to report them, 90 on.
and attend to it. No one will hurt you. How
ever, the officers at the Second Precinct are
not as bad as the Harbor crowd who report
in large-sized capitals that the lamps in this
precinct are all 40 K" If this is SO the
Gas Company must have opened its heart to
the poor peelers in the dark on the levee.

night in the Fifth Precinct Station, having
been hauled in on warrant from the corner

Two hours later in the morning in came
Frank Blank, youth of fifteen years, escorted
by Mulligan, from the head OF Customhouse
street, at the instance OF Mr.. L. b. Daponte,

The officers on the levee should arrest and
prosecute these bands of thieves who swarm
our levees like SO many bees, and steal sew
eral hundred thousand dollars worth of pro-
luce and merchandise from the landing every
year, and still we have never been able to
chronicle a conviction for theft committed on
he levee, no matter how large it is.
