As Mr.. William Mcintyre, the privat
Waterman on the Second District side {
Canal street, was walking his beat and whe
between Burgundy and Rampant streets, h
saw two negroes jump into a cab and driv
up Rampant street at very slow gait.
Mr.. Intyre knowing that something wa
wrong, jumped into hack at the corner O
Rampant and Canal streets, and instructe,
the driver to follow up their cab, which wa.
then about half square ahead going u,
Rampant street. When the vehicle arrived a
the corner Of Common street the two me1
jumped down and ran out Common street
The private Waterman not being able to fine
help concluded to follow the cab; his cat
then drove ahead, and on passing the Other
hack he discovered that it was filed with
goods. vs
Keeping half block ahead, and on arri.
wing at the Poydras Market he got out of his
cab and obtained the assistance of Officer
McEntee, who was standing in the market,
and by the time the cab had approached
him, MI. Mcintyre Immediately jumped out
into the street and grabbed hold of the horse
and ordered Patrolman McEntee to arrest the
driver, which was done.
Assistance was then called, and some few
citizens and two patrolmen left their beats
and gave all the aid possible in taking the
driver of cab No. 81 to the First Precinct Sta
ton, where he gave his name as Abraham
White, and was locked up, charged with hav-
ing stolen property in his possession, knowing
the same to be such.
In the meantime, Private Waterman Nc
Intyre and Patrolman McEntee discovered
two negroes coming up Rampant, near Per-
dido street, whom he recognized as the par
ties that had left the cab short time before
at the corner of Common and Rampant streets.
Both officers ran in the direction of Perdido
street. Private Waterman Mcintyre gave
chase to one Of the negroes, who sue
'eeded in making his escape. After being
pursued about a square AMI q half
1e returned to the spot where patrolman
'lcEntie had collared the other negro, and
discovered him lying across the railroad track
n an insensible condition from a wound re-
eived in the head with q large-sized "jim-
ney, which was lying near him, at the hands
+ one Of the burglars who, in a hurry to
aake his escape, left his weapon behind him.
In few moments the officer came to- and
rove the cab to the Central Station, where
'ur large-sized sacks of the finest silks were
eposited and the cab taken to the pound.
N returning to his post, the watchman
that the dry goods establish
tent Of Messrs. Theo. Danziger & Son, No.
D Canal street. had been entered and robbed
the valuable silks.
The entrance was effected by climbing over
le verandah and breaking the sky-lights
ling into the back part of the store, where
ey low ered themselves down with ropes
I'd helped themselves to the finest silks in
g house, which are valued at about $4,000.
ID IN the same way pulled the goods and the
an up again.
1t is believed they placed the cab near the
llery, at the corner, and walked along the
lleries which connect, and lowered the val
bles into the hack and drove off. The G
rglars have not as yet been captured,
hough every exertion is given by the chief
detectives to find the miscreants.
