WORK STOPPED ON WALNUT
SREET.-The work of grading Walnut
street wos stopped, this morning for
the reason, as alleged by the contractor
that the large number of vessels to
pass through Third street bridge to.
day, would retard him in hauling d iri
over to the Southside.
AS to the frequent opening of the
bridge interrupting the work, it is
likely to occur every day, as Mr.,
Bareford says the number of vessels
passing through the bridge will aver
age about thirty per day.

Alleged Pick-Poeket Arrested.

Yesterday afternoon, about 1.15
when the New York express arrived
here young man giving the name
of Q. @. Woodhound, of Galesburg,
III. accused the passenger sitting be-
side hiu of picking his pocket and got
special officer VIM. Legg to arrest him.
Legg did so, and as the accused lifted
up his valise to leave the car the
pocket book was discovered on the
floor. The owner, however, insisted
that robbery had been committed,
and the accused was taken to the City
Hall. He gave the name of Geo. A d.
Herrick, and stated that he was trave>
ling agent for a Pittsburg iron firm,
which statement, judging from letters
and kilograms in his possession seems
to oe true. Chief O'Toole telegraphed to
Pittsburgh last evening asking for in
information as to the character of the
prisoner.
1t is not generally believed that Her
rick picked his companlou's pocket,
as he was sitting next to the window
while Woodhound occupied the out
side of the seat, and had his pocket
book in a pocket on the left side, next
to the aisle, where Herrick could not
reach it. Woodhound is student, and
had been ON the to the Centennial.
This morning Chief O'Toole receiv-
ed dispatch from large manufactur-
ing firm of Pittsburgh, Pa. stating that
Herrick was in their employ and that
the description of the arrested man
tailed with his appearance, Herrick
was then released.

Death of a 1ine Horse,

Cooley" one of the pair of horses
recently purchased by the Weccacoe
), F. e. Co., died yesterday afternoon
about4 o'clock. In the morning the
horses were driven over TO New Castle
occupying about Il hours in going
and "a hours in returning. so they
were not over driven, as had been re
ported. They were stabbed about noon
and about 5 o'clock Cooley" showed
symptoms of sickness, and in spite OF
all efforts to relieve her, died in an
hour. DIR. Fellows veterinary sur
geon, examined the body and found
that death had resulted from lung fe
yer and heart disease, and that tn,
heart had grown fast to the ribs,
If this was the cause of death thu
animal was evidently unsonnd wheI
purchased, and the loss therefore. will
not fall upon the company.

THE RINGED PLARE1 =.

Another Occul tation OF Saturn by the
Moon next Sunday moring-An In
teres,ing Astronomical event.
On Sunday morning next. at an early
hour, the interesting phenomena Of
the occultation of Saturn by the moon,
on the 9th of August last, will be re-
peated.
An occultation consists of the moon,
which is much nearer the earth than
the stars or planets moving between a
star. or planet, and ourselves, thus
hiding the latter from our view for
the time. At the last occulation of
Saturn, a scene of great beauty and of
high interest to astronomers, was re-
vealed through the telescope,
Last Sunday Saturn was in opposition
to the sun; that is, the sun, the earth
and the planet were in the same line,
the earth occupying the mid lie place.
In this position Saturn is much nearer
the earth than in any other position.
When at its greatest distance from
the earth Saturn is S29, $50, 900 miles
away, but during its opposition only
732 900, 600 miles difference of 1887
coo, 900 miles. 1t is this nearness to the
earth at this time which makes Saturn
at present the most Interesting planet
in the armament, as it gives the best
opportunity for astronomical observa,
tion.
Saturn Is the sixth in the order of
the planets from the sun, and when
viewed through strong telescope his
disc appears striped with dark belts,
which, from their parallelism to the
equator of the planet, are believed by
some scientists to have been deter
mined by currents similar to our trade
winds. He is attended by eight
satellites. ..-
He is changeable in character and
never presents the same appearance
twice in succession.
Saturn will be the prominent even.
ing star for some time to come, and
may be found early in the evening in
the Southeast. After ten o'clock when
Jupiter sets. he will be the only planet
visible during the night,
