to inspect the progress of tile work OF tearing
down the buildings within the enclosure, and the
removal of material of various kinds to the

recognized but as soon as the Commandment was
notified of his presence he ordered a salute OF
twenty-one guns to be fired.
The officers OF the yard have been provided
with temporary quarters in the cabin Of the An.

HOW SOME INDUSTRIOUS ADyERTIsERs GOT THIN
SELVES INTO PRIsoN--A SUCCESSION OF cAARoEs
AGAINST THEM.
J. w. Hallahan q. De Menionkuk and J.
w. Ford with two companions have for
some days past been circulating amongst some
of our business men fao sin,iles of U. s.
bonds, greenbacks, and currency notes to be
used for advertising purposes. Upon one side
of the notes the resemblance to greenbacks and
currency is very striking and might easily be
mistaken for genuine money. The other side is
left blank for the advertisement.
The young men We're evidently doing thriv-
ing business as not less than $50, 600 had been
disposed Of. The attention Of Deputy Collector
II. Ii. Prettyman WAS called to the subject, who
after referring to the authorities concluded that
the young men were violating Section 370S of
the Revised Code of the U. s. Laws, which says
that any one who shall print, distribute or crcll-
late in any way fac sintie bills, notes or U. S.
bonds il liable to fine OF not moro than 500
and not less than $50,
IIallahan was arrested about II o'clock, yes
terday morning, his comrades escaping for the
time being through the failure to obtain their
names, which is required before a Government
writ can he issued. This difficulty, however,
was finally obvated, and the two
others were arrested at the depot about one
O'Clock, they having permitted the noon express
to pass by without getting on board through
fear OF being arrested and taken off the cars. A
hearing was set for last evening, but at the re-
quest of the prisoners WAS deferred until this
evening, when it will take place before U. S.
Commissioner Smith.
After the Government shall have disposed OF
these prisoners they will pass into the civil
courts. Esquire Brady, at the instance of Alb
ner Sparks, has issued warrant for their arrest
on n charge of obtaining money under false pre-
lenses, and they will also undergo an examina-
ton for selling goods without State license 1t
seems that in dsposing of their greenback ad-
vertisements they promised to sell to only one
man in zach branch of trade, but they dsre-
garded this part of their agreement and sold
wherever they could making this representation
in each place. From this circumstance proceeds
the charge Of selling goods under false pre-
tense.

The TRAMPs.-Tramps are not 80 numeroue

reason. During the past several cold nights only
about fifty have applied at the hall for shelter

Chief 0'Toole asGribes this to the lack of ac-
commodations which are provided, they being,
he says less comfortable than last year. The
ordinary herd are ponned i'll the old, fetid cells,
