Among the many changes TO take place soon
on the grand boulevard none will be more stKik-
ing and more indicative of the good time to come
than the swayiDg to the breeze the banners OF tho
grand "Palais Royal" Our enterprising friend
Levy, who has for 80 many years been the popa
lar proprietor of the dollar store, No. 137 Canal
street. seems to have had bis faith shaken In re-
publican Institutions and ideas, and Ia deter
mined, with one fell swoop, to obliterate tho
name OF dollar store forever. He Ia making prep
arations for the opening Of this elegant and gor-
geous establishment, and nothing will be spared
in making it the most attractive place in the
Southern country. Levy's dollar store is known
throughout the whole South, and a. it hss been
known for it's promp.ness In filing orders and
the polite attention Of the clerks and the place to
get everything, 80 viii the Palais Royal grow
into popular favor, for we will see In the large
and gilded sigrs that are to adorn the building
evidences of new era, 9 prosperity which We
have longed for but never expected until the
present time.

ANOTHER MURDERER ABROAD.
whose Fault is 1t That Justice Did Not
obtain Its Due?

whose Fault Is 1t That Justice Did Not
obtain Its Due?
Close upon the heels OF the Delaney McEvoy
case, where the murderer Is now roaming at
large and defyiug the sword OF justice, comes the
development Of another affair, equ lily serious, In
which human blood was shed and the life OF q
man sacrificed without condign punishment reach
ing the red handed criminal. Was IL the fault OF
the police or Of the court, and can the thing be
remedied now? brief history Of the case will
enable our readers to Judge.
On the twenty fifth of December. 1871, Martin
Bush was brutaly murdered opposite house No.
% Rampant street by one Joel d. Cannon. Can
him for manslsughter, whereupon he was re-
Leased on bonds on the fl iest OF May, 1872 The
bonds were signed by his brother-in-law, one
Henry g. Bull, now fugitive from justice, hav-
ing jumped his bonds onlthree charges for perjury
aud l,rcenv. and one Jones. On tho twentieth Of
August, 1873, the bonds were renewed by said
Bull and one AornuD, who are not worth q
dollar.
Cannon, after his release, occupied the position
Of supervisor OF registration under Warmoth in
1872 and was employed under Mr.. Brewster as
pound keeper Of the First District. who, we must
say, Immediately dismissed him when he heard
OF his having committed the murder.
The trial was put off until 1875, when Cannon
decampsd. He went to Now York, where he
went to work with his fugitive bro'heriu-law,
Bull, who was president of some wild cat revol.
yer company.
Nothing was beard abnut him until 1876, when
Bull mur Tered an Irish laborer ia Brookl u, aided
and ebet.ed by Cannon. They were, however,
