A LITTLE CONFIDENCE.
A First. Class Beat.

For some time past there has been young
man in this city by the name Of John J. Williams.
who has been playing on the creduliiy OF the un-
suspecting by ingratiating himself into their
good will and borrowing money in various sums,
ranging from IS to $40, at the same time repre-
senting himself to be connected with large
firm in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and that in the fall
he had a contract from Capt r. q. Eads, to fur
nish the stone from Indiana, for which he was
the agent.
Williams took room No. 10 at the st. Charles
Hotel, and lived in some style, regardless Of ex-
penee. Various demands we're made upon him for
part of his board but his invariable reply was
that he expected remittances every day. Things
went on In this way for some time, until the 30th
Of June, when he was told that payment must
be made. Not having the wherewithal, he took
his leave but left his trunk behind, which con-
tanned great many fine clothes, and probably
may settle the bill Of $500, which lie left unpaid
After he left the st. Charles he went to the SC.
James Hotel and there registered himself az
Tnayer, but bis little game was known, therefore
the gay and festive youth went his way rejoicing,
and took up lodgings in an obscure part OF the
city. The news OF his evil workings came to the
knowledge Of Capt. Malone, chief OF detectives,
who Immediately set his men to work, and they
went on the look out.
Saturday, about o'clock, Detective Dave Hem
nessey watched on Common, between st. Charles
and Carondelet streets, for Williams, who was at
the time in barber shop being shaved. A few
moments elapsed, when Williams appeared look
ing IS pleasant and elegant as possible, no doubt
thinking Of some new way by which he could
raise the wind. Detective Hepnessey stepped up
to him and said, II want you" Williams in
CURED what for, when he was informed, and con-
Quoted without more ado to the Central Station,
where he was incarcerated.

THE MARKET WAR.
Passing it Around.

On Friday, committee representing people
owning property in the vicinity Of the public
markets, called on the Governor, to urge upon
him the enforcement of the act governing pri-
vate markets. The Governor listened 4,

then referred them to Administrator Landry.
as the officer specified in the law to execute
it's provisions.
Yesterday the committee waited on Admin
traitor Landry, who also listened to them and
talked to them little while, and then re-
ferred them to Superintendent Of Police
Loan.
At last accounts the committee had mot
visited COL Loan, but it is probable that when
the visit is made, he will send them back 10
Administrator Landry.
1t is kind of passing around affair. The
Governor says Landry should execute the
law. Landry says it is State law, and the
police should enforce it, and Superintendent
Loan says he "cant see it, and he would
like some man to show him where the lay
says he shall close the private markets.
While this passing around business is in
progress, the lessees of the public markets.

steps to force them to do it, committees

Mr, Holman tpem moved an adjourn.

would not. therefore, Withdraw his motion
to adjourn,
Mr.. McDougall rep. said he would ac-
cept Mr.. Starkweather' bill as substitute
for his own.
Mr.. Holman Dem. thought that the

Pity People Killed Outright.

BREMEN, Germany Dec. 1.-THE boiler
of tug boat near the steamship Moselle,
exploded to-day. The Moselie was just
ready to sail for New York, having en-
barked her passengers. Fifty persons
were killed outright and many injured.
The Moselle will not sail to-day.
LONDON, 4 P. NJ. Dec. lit is not yet
known if the killed and wounded were
passengers by the steamer Moselle. The
disaster was not caused by an explosion Of
the boiler of the steam tug but by an ex-
plosicn on the wharf at Bremer, after the
steamship MOselle had embarked her pas
sengers for New York
The Moselle was so badly damaged that
she can not sail to-day.
The Moselle was to have taken the
passengers OF the wrecked steamer
Deutschland of the same line,
New YoRK, Dec ll-Oenluck & Co.,
agents for the North German Lloyd, in this
city, have received the following despatch
from the company's office in Bremerha!en:
"A great explosion has occurred at
Bremerhaien on the quay belonging to
passengers baggage. Many lives lost"
New YORK, Dec. 1l.-Oelrich & Co..
agents of the North German Lloyds line,
to which the steamer Mosele belongs,
doubt the truth of the report that those
killed by the explosion at Bremerhaten
we're passengers. There may have been
workmen on the quay, or a large number
OF friends of passengers about to sail in
the MOselle, waiting to see them off. In that
case no names Of dead will be sent
to the Office in this city. Two steam
boats are uSpd hv tho Mort h
German Lloyds line at Bremerhafcr,
tie Lloyd for passengers and the Simpson
for the luggage and baggage OF passengers.
Those who were injured are supposed to
have been on the tug which was to convey
them from the quay at Bremenhafer to the
steamer. A quay is.set apart exclusively for
passengers luggage and it appears tina,
the cases of dynamite were about to be
shipped as luggage
The passengers of the Deutschland who
were rescued could pot have been among
those VINO were injured as they were moi
taken to Bremenhafer.

fcatiOn OF the indictment Of General Bah
cock yesterday.
In regard to ex Senator Henderson, who
was employed under the direction of the
department OF justice, to assist District
Attorney Dyer III the prosecution of the
whl,key casey, and who, according to news
paper reports, took occasion to severely
arraign the president, in his speech on the
Avery trial, the attorney general telc-
graphed to the district attorney that if the
reports of his speech were correct, the de
parlme would not in future pay for such
service.
Last night Henderson telegraphed that
his speech was extemporaaeous, and that he
had no intention Of assailIng the president
personally.
A sworn copy Of his speech was for
warded on, and will reach here TO day.
The evidence as to Mr.. Henderson at
tack on the President is considered so con
elusive that tie president himself late
yesterday, directed Mr. Henders2n's dis
missal, and he will not again be employed

The sworn report of Mr. Henderson S
speech, forwarded by Mr., Eaton, and re,
terred to by both you and Mr.. Henderson,
in your dispatch of yesterday, as correct
repart. was read in the full cabinet to- day,
and it was regarded by every member as
an outrage upon professional propriaty
thus to intiict pain, without a shadow OF!
reason, upon the president, by when his
employment by this department was sane
toned. In order that no impcdiment may
be placed in the way of bringing to speedy
punishment every defrauder of the reve-
nue. at St. Louis, you will advise Governor
Henderson of his discharge from further
service, and secure in his place the aid OF
the most able and efficient counsel you can
find, without regard to his politics.
