H. Boyle as Secretary to the Superintendent
Of Police was accepted, to take effect January
Is, 1876. Patrolman G Williams, Of the
Fourth Precinct, was dismissed from the
force, and E. E. Sherman was reappointed a
patrolman and assigned to the Third Precinc;
for beat duty. Sherman, it will be remem.
bered, was the individual peace conservative
that shot Mr. Brousseau, in the late hurrah
on Royal street. in which Capt John P. Mon
tamat and Sergt. Mccain figured SO promi-

Non EXPLOSIVE SEproL1NE O1L.-About 6
o'clock last evening, lamp filed with septo-
line oil exploded without being dropped or
knocked over, at the grocery store of Mrs.
Thompson, No. 81 Spain street, burning her
SOP, aged l3 years, severely about the arms.
mbitious peelers appeared on the ground

VIGERs ON THE TRIGGER. -Supernumerary
Vigers was dropped from the force by the Po-
lice Board Friday morning, for shooting at
! Doorman Gaspard, OF the Fourth Precinct.
1t appears that Gaspard reported Vigers to
his superior officer for clubbing a woman
prisoner that he arrested, charged with being
drunk; and the first time they met Vigers
pulled out his revolver and fred several shots
at him, which, fortunately, did not take effect
Vigers has figured conspicuously in a great
many shooting scrapes, but never manages to
hit the mark he fires at He will have a
chance to practice shooting now that he is
off the force, and it is to be hoped that he
will try his bluff game on some one that will
return fire.
The CONFIDENCE YOUTH Young Adolph
J. Heinz is evidentlya bad boy. He was ar
rested about a week ago in one of the theaters
on St. Charles street, by Detective Pierson,
charged with being vagrant, and was sent to
the Parish Prison, where he remained up to
Thursday morning when he was taken out by
an officer and registered On the books OF the
Third Precinct Station, charged by Louis j.
Leeche, one OF his companions, with the lar |
ceny of his gold watch aud chain.
l. appears that this youth, who is deep in |
vice, induced Mr.. Leeche to lend him his |
watch and chain to wear on Canal street after |
the matinee, or, in other words, to make the |
public believe he was a rich young man and, |
instead OF returning it as be promised, he re-
paired to loan Office and pawned it for SIS, |
which money he spent for violet bouquets to
throw at young actress that he was in love
with, and theater tickets for his friends
LARcENY.-John johnson is an individual
who has no kind feelings whatsoever for any
one that wears a peelers uniform, and more
especially when they propose to see him

off Ger Of the law became the possessor of a
warrant that called for Johns presence before
Judge Long, to answer q charge of larceny, |
lodged against him by Mr.. J. Diamond, and
not thinking that he would resist to any great
extent repaired to his place of business in
the Port Market and informed him that be
must go to Jail. Johnson said he had his
work to do, and did not wish to be disturbed
by anyone. The officer placed his hand on
his collar, and then it was that johnson got
his mad up. He struck the officer, and was
about putting q big head on him, when five
more peelers arrived, and after a lively fight
succeeded in overpowering him and landing
him in the Fifth Precinct Station.
