On Sunday this very scene was acted
quite dramatically on st. Charles street,
near Gravier. It was about noontime,
the weather sultry, and business dull,
when, suddenly, far down the street,
and over toward Carondelet street, was
heard the ''petulant pop. OF the pistol, -
a cry Of "perlice," and long shrill
whistle for assistance. There was
standing, just then, on the corner. per-
son In private dress, and without even
the distinguishing ribbon of our police

with the Metropolitans in days bygone.
When the cry and whistle reached him,
he started up, cried I'm coming" and
dashed down the street to the place
whence the noise came.
He reached the spot, had got out half
the words II arrest you" When SUD,

Easter service Mt the Church Of mo An,

nunCIatiDn.
In mentioning Easter Sunday festivi-
ties We neglected to notice the Church
of Annuneiation, Rev. Jno. Percival
pastor. The ladies deserve much credit
for the taste displayed In the arrange
ment Of the rare and exquisite flowers.
The fount, communion table, In fact
the whole church, seemed one beautiful
garden Of roses. The sermon was one
OF the ablest productions Of it's talented
rector. and was listened to with much
attention.
After the regular service had been
concluded and Mr.. Percival advanced
to the chancel railing, book in hand, to
enter into the communion service, his
attention, as well as that Of the whole
congregation, was attracted by the APP
pearance In the aisle OF figure poorly
clad and acknowledging. She made
her way up to the chancel rail, then ex-
tending both hands said "Please give
q poor woman something to eat, am
starving" Mr.. Perciyal, not knowing
what she intended to do, had waited
for her, but when he had learned
her errand, he said, with q wave Of
his hand, "sit down." She moved
one side and took front seat,
and half standing and half sitting she
extended her hand TO every communi-
cant as they passed up and down from
the chancel she was no doubt q regular
street beggar and thought this was
rare opportunity to enrich herself.
That class of individuals has OF late
become great nuisance, and we hope
the good people OF Annunciation did
not encourage her In this impudent en-
terprise.

change.
Yesterday Theo. Purnell, the tender OF
q cigar stand In the 81. Charles Auction
Exchange, appeared before Judge Klein
peter, OF the First Municipal Police
Court, and swore out Nh affidavit, oharg-
ing q young man named Emile Lacoume
with having robbed him OF $152 In
United States currency.
The affidavit sets forth that on Sun.
day night, between the hours OF IL and
Ia o'clock, one Emile IIaeoume did
feloniously break open a showcase in
the Ht. Charles Auction Exchange and
abstract therefrom $152 In currency,
800 Of which was the property Of q
gambler and the remaining k52 tho pro.
perty Of Jose Domingo.
It appears that Purnell, about the
hour above stated, counted the money
In front Of several OF his friends at the
cigar stand. one OF whom was the no.
oused.
After counting the. money. Purnell
put the amount, as he sta5es- into d
cigar box and placed the box IN the

ing the case. Next morning he returned
to his place of business and found the
money missing.
Mr.. Laooume, the proprietor Of the
st. Charles Auction Exchange, states
that the boy who ID charged with the
offense Ia not named Emile Laeoume
but Emile Adler, whom he had taken
charge Ut when about two years old
and tried TO make something OF him,
but finding that, Us hs grew older, he
was worthless character, he told him
that he would have to shift for himself,
Mr.. Jaooume says that Purnell did
not lose the amount Of money that is
set forth In tho affidavit. for tho 800
that was the property Of the gambler
Was returned to him several hours be-
fore the theft Is alleged to have been
committed.
A warrant has been issued for tho ar
