Brief Hems. Hull street presented busy
appearance yesterday. Many farmers from
the adjacent counties were III the city ma
king their regular purchases.
The attention Of the authorities is called
to the dangerous hole on Stockton and Tenth
streets; also to the large pond Of water near
the Colored Baptist church, caused by the
recent rains. The citizens in the vcini-
ties are constantly complaining OF these
nuisanccs.
A wel!-known young fisherman OF this
city met with a very unpleasant reception
yesterday morning some several miles up
the river. He, in an effort TO secure Il large
black bass which fell from his hook when
near the shore. made desperate reach for
the prize and tumbled headiong into thc
river.
AS yet the police have not secured the ar.
rest OF the party implicated in the recent
robbery on Cowardin avenue.
