pass through these grounds. Lieutenant Greer,
upon complaint, directed . detail Of men to watch
for the offenders. Ofieers Fisher and Haney on
Tuesday succeeded In capturing the men, named
WilliBm Alexander and George Stuart, both Of
them negroes Of the blackest and most british
cast. A quantity Of drawings, in pencil, Of a
coarse and obscene character were found in their
pockets. These they were accustomed to hand to
the little girls or to throw them down where they
would attract their attention. Yesterday morn
ing they were brought up in the Police Court. As
there was some difficulty In preferring legal
charge against them, Stuart was fined only Is
for profanity, but Alexander did net escape so
easily for It was proved that he had on two occa-
sions made an indecent exposure to the girls, be-
sides exhibiting his drawings, and he was fined in
each case 800, or three months in the chain gang.
The Court remarked that they were liable, under
the common law, for Issuing or circulating obscene
publications, aS 1t was very broad in Its scope in
reference to such offences Rs this. He directed

the case be NJ. discharged until the attorney for

Colonel Lubey, the water registrar, yesterday
reported an improvement in the condition Of the

tween Four.and. a-half and Sixth streets, was
taken up On Tuesday for examination, and WaI
yesterday morning placed in the hands Of the
Board Of Health officer for critical exsminA-
tiop. The pipe was found to be In an excellent
condition, with its inside surface entirely free
from formations that would be likely to affect the
purity Of the water. Registrar Lubey is prepar-
Ing to enforce the recently Issued order Of the
