OFFICER BURGER, of Bremen-street
Htation-hoUse, yesterday afternoon in
vacant lot on Plum street, below Lib |
erty, found trunk marked Henry Bo- |
Earding. The lock seems to have been
kaeddled with, but was not broken omen. |
|rhe trunk contained good suit OF |
tiothes, an old one, which seemed to |
1how that the clothes belong to baker,
= razor and other articles. The trunk
was taken to Bremen-street Station
house, where the property can be iden-
kifed.
CHARLES s. BIRNBRIER, who has been
Beyeral times sent to the Longview Asy-
pum, and not long since liberated as
cured, last night about seven O'Clock,
without any provocation, hurled chair
1t Michael Itentz, who was coming out
Of cellar below the saloon at the cor
ner OF Race and Second streets. Failing
b his attempt to lnjure Rentz seriously,
birnbrfer rushed up stairs and procured
} pistol, which he discharged at thei
former, but missed his mark. Ellisonl
Ind Quincy, two of the Ones engine
boys, overpOwered Birnbrier and took
him to the Hammond-street Station.
Birnbrier will probably be sent to Long
b1ew Asylum.
TIE Worthington law has created con-
inconvenience to the members
u the Board OF Health, as under it's stat
tes the Board, with the funds now un-
ler its control, would be enabled to con-
5nue in operation for only two months.
Ihs has led to different plans and prop-l !
lsitions towards retrenchment. One
bat is likely TO be made this afternoon /,
p the Board il to reduce the number OF
Eard physicians about one-halt; that is |.
0 redistrict the city, and make it the
luty of one physician to attend to two
Fards at salary of $500 instead of $500
aid to two physicians before. This =
1ould save 81 800 per annum. Another
that will probably be made, is ;
o dispense with all the Assistant Mar
and havs their duties per-
srmEd by regular police. y
