A GOOD PrOsDect.

The Bruce Brothers are busy with
their elastic Roof and Wall Paint
since the recent storm, and are making
preparations to go to Chester and West
Chester. There is no doubt but what
it is the cheapest and best paint in use.
Its durability far snrpasses any other
paint, and all who have used it are
pleased with its appearance. Jobs Of
from 8 to 10 thousand feet can ba tested
by the sun and weather for one year
without pay, and this we think is suffi-
cient proof that it is not one Of the
many humbugs that now infest our
country. This test will be offered, how
ever, this year only, and next season
it will speak for itself. All orders by

| The first prisoner placed in the dock
At the police court last evening was
John Groves, Who was arraigned on the
charge of striking his wife. John de.
sired to have the case postponed until
he could have several witnesses sum-
moned, but he was unable to show
what his witnesses could prove. His
Honor concluded to proceed with the
case. The only witness against John
was his wife, Mary Groves, who testified
to her husband striking her in the
face several times without any provoca
tlon. Witness said that her husband
had promised to abstain from the intox-
lcating cup, Yet he had not been home
week before he commenced drinking
and acting in disorderfy manner
The prisoner was fined 81 and cost.
A middle aged man was arrested by
officer Carey yesterday afternoon on
Shipley St., near the Railroad. The
man had been drinking and was laying
on the pavement his head resting on
the cellar door. At the hearing last
evening the prisoner was fined so cents
and cost.
The next prisoner ordered to be placed
in the dock was Teddy MCGUIRE. Ted
dy was arrested yesterday at noon by
oticer Thomas, the charge against him
being drunkenness. Officer Robinson
went to the prisoners cell but return
ing without him replied that he was
not tit for trial as he was not sober.-
Ills Honor thought it was strange that
the man was still drunk having been
arrested at noon so the chief ordered
the officer to bring the prisoner in the
court room. The orders were obeyed
and Teddy was placed in the dock
Officer Thomas testified to the prisoner
being along the front for several days
drunk. Teddy wanted to know why
the officer did not arrest him before
and he also asked What he was on the
force for. Before the officer could an
swer Teddy's questions, His Honor SEN
fenced the prisoner to fifteen days at
New Castle.
This was too much for MCGUIRE, ad-
dressing His Honor, he said "Give me
What ?" To which question the reply
was Fifteen days at New Castle" eff

A Reporter

1t was not CAPlroLIAN reporter
but simply "looker on in Vienna" who
very innocently thought he'd go out to
the Independent Peoples (i) Pow wow,
that was held somewhere beyond tho city
limits on last Saturday evening. Some
twenty five Or thirty Anti-Ringers were
there assembled in solemn cOnclave, with
some one "in the chair Of course, and
somebody else acting as Secretary.
While the minutes were being "taken
down" our wOOker on" couldn't believe
that he would be declared out OF
order, for peeping over the secretary's
shoulder at his account of the proceed
ings!
But, alas for the frailty of the human
specics! No sooner was he discovered
occupying this interesting attitude, than
he was set upon with regular fHrorc /;
there were
"Fists to the right
And fists to the left"
coming down upon his devoted head
just as though the fellows thought it
was of india-rubber and couldn't be
hurt. As soon as our man cOnld extri-
cate himself from his perilous position,
he withdrew in good order bearing in
mind those words of Hudibras:
ole who fights" etc.
This beats "ring' meeting allhollow,
az the Democrats are not halfas violent;
our Independent People however are
"Iightning, and the above incident
illustrates their method Of reforming
the abuses of the Democratic party, and
of holding public meetings.

These deductions would reduce the
claims of the Pic by taking away lib
delegates, and of the remaining 81,
claimed for Ogden, it is believed that
Wilt stands as fair chance of their
support as Gen. Ogden. It is quite
evident that the Pics statement was
hastily manufactured for the purpose
of breasting the Wilt wave publish
ed in the Democrat yesterday morn
ing. Otherwise the boomers would
not have hid away such important in
formation from their followers.
A sample of the losseness of their
claims can he seen in the case of
Natchitoches, which stands IL for
Wilt and 2 for Ogden, as will be
seen from a dispatch which left
Natchitoches at4:25 p. m. yesterday.
THE FIFTH WARD SOLID FOR Witt.
The five leading Democratic clubs
of the fifth ward, the WOrkingmen's
Democratic Club, Young Mems Demo
cratic Club, Citizens Conservative
Association, Peoples Reform Club,
aud Palermo Guards, appointed confer
ence committees to meet similar COM
mittees from other clubs and devise
some means for harmonizing all the
various elements of the ward. These
committees met yesterday evening
and proceeded to confer with each
other, when it was found that all of
them had received exactly similar
instructions from their respective
clubs, which was to indorse the
nomination of Louis Alfred Wilt for
Governor and Louis Arnauld for
president of the central club. A
resolution to this effect was offered in
the meetingand unanimously adopted,
amid the loudest applause. This
unanimity of these clubs is more
extraordinary, from the fact that they
have never been unanimous before in
the interest Ofany candidate since the
war, and have always found them
selves more or less opposed to each
other III every campaign. This union
settles the Ogden ''boom' in the only
ward below Canal street where itpre-
tended to exist. Two other promi-
nent clubs of this ward have called
meetings for this evening to appoint
similar conference committees with
similar inSt,-rctiOus
