SOME SMOKE AND MORE FIRE.-Last Tues
day night the store Of Messrs. II. q Z.
Newman, No. 81 Perdido street, was broken
open and about 5000 cigars stolen there
from. This fact was reported to Saperln-
tendent Loan and detectives were instantly
started out to find the perpetrators. 1t
was first learned who the policemen vera
who should have been OF duty in and near
that section on the night in question, and
the rolls showed the names of Officers w.
W. Cain and George McMahon. Somehow
suspicion fell on these policemen, and they
were tracked. Persons were quietly sent
to meet them, as if by chance, and to ask
for cigar to smoke. Cain gave freely OF
the weeds, and specimens proved that they
were of the same make as those stolen from
the Perdido street house. McMahon's room
was next searched, and most Of the cigars
found therein He and young Cain we're
thereupon arrested, when the last named
partly acknowledged his guilt 1t is SAID

dant. They were yesterday arralgned oe-
fore Judge Evans, and remanded to prison,

Colonel Loan, believing them guilty, IN

the Board of Health; Colonel Loan, Super
intendent of Police, and Ma Or T.. A. burke,
Administrator of Improvements, held con-
sultation with view to their departments
cooperating for the maintenance OF the
public health. For years past the city Or
finances prohibiting persons from throwing
or sweeping rubbish into the streets or gut
ters have been violated, and considerable
expense has thereby been entailed upon the
CITY. Now that the entire street cleaning
force has been suspended, 1t 10 vitality I'M
portant that the attention of every citizen
should be directed to this violation OF law.
In this connection We invite the attentlSn
Of our readers to the special notices pup
