BRIEF MENTION. Colonel Loan, Superin
tendent Of Police, yesterday resumed thu
duties Of Office. having quite recovered from
his illness. Colonel Bray returns to hi
desk, and gladly too, although he rendered
excellent service while acting Is chief.
Andrew Duffy found his name on the first
police book yesterday morning for wound
ing j. Tuohy two weeks ago.
He wore false wrist bands, but in part
corrected that fraud by joining the luton.
holes with pair Of costly buttons. He,
the owner, went home rather late several
| nights ago. quite weary with his labors in
the lodge. While he was sleeping softly a
burglar slipped in and picked up several
loose articles, not forgetting tho cuffs and
ornaments; at least, that is what Mack
says. The house is located on Annuncia-
ton street.
General Besuregard Indignantly denies
tina. he is candidate before the parish
convention for the Office of criminal sheriff;
also that he is candidate for anything else.
Keepers of private markets are jubilant,
az legal twistings have once more helped
them out.
The several municipal police judges are
not as prompt as they might be in making
returns of fines collected by them.
There will be a special meeting of the
First Ward Republican Central Club on
Saturday night, to make arrangements FOR
the mass meeting to be held on the twenty

The INHARMoNIoUs DEMocRAcY.-Last
evening the monotony of the State House
surroundings was disturbed by two or three
of the aspirsnts taking bout in tho fight
ing line. Messrs. r. E. Diamond, James
Barry and T. E. Graham, ell of the second
ward Democracy, met and discussed the
political situation. Mr.. Graham was wit
ness before the committee in the second
ward troubles, and stated that he intended
to tell some truths that might prove I'M.
wholesome to somebody. On this announce
ment somebody struck him, and few shots
were fred, as 10 supposed, at Mr.. Graham,
but the bullets went wide of any mark,
probably not intended to do much harm.
Mr.. Graham left thebattle field and quiet
was restored. A bystander asked if this
was q case of intimidation, but nobody
answered the conundrum.

discovered at two O'Clock Thursday morn

the adjoining double frame cottage on Lou
isiana avenue, owned by r. Purslow ana
occupied by E. S. Mandell and w. F. Hodg-
