MEssRs. EDIToRs:-As almost every
item of news fluids its way into your
paper in these last days, | wondered a
little at not seeing any account
of a pleasant little surprise given to
the very popular Merchant, Tailor David
Moore, Esq, at No. 6 East I'd St., that
came off here OH Monday evening last.
1t was gotten up principally by mem
bers of Mr.. Moore's swn family in com
memoration of his sixtieth birth day;
they presented him with very hand.
some, as we'll as substantial revolving
arm chair, we'll suited to his growing
and already rather corpulent proper
tons. There was quite number of
invited guests, all Of whom were par
ticularly respectful to the good ice
cream, strawberries and great slices of
superior pound cake, that were dealt
out with an unsparing hand; some of
the company were SO anxious to show
their appreciation of the good things,
that they have not felt bit we'll since.
A few sacred songs, and prayer, with
a little more social and pleasant conver-
sation closed up the entertainment,
and the party dispersed in good sea-
son, wishing Mr.. Moore, as they left, a
return OF many more pleasant birth
days and his family continued aud in
creasing happiness during the remain
der of their earthly sojourn. S.

POLICE PlCKINGs.
One Drunk - An Assault with In.
tont 10 XIII "A Man Arrested
who was an II Hungry as q Wolf.

In the absence Of Mayor Almond at
the police court last evening. Acting
Mayor O'Neill, presided. The first pris.
oner placed in the dock was James
Fleming. Sergeant Dolan had arrest
ed the man yesterday at noon, the of
ficer having found him on East Front
street very drunk. The officer in Civ
ing his testimony stated that James
was daily visitor along Front street
and that it was no unusual thing for
him to be intoxicated. A fine of SO
cents and cost was imposed.
The next case was that of a German
named Frederick Litterst, who was
charged with an assault and an attempt
to kill Henry Newman. Frederick was
unable to speak English and most of
the evidence was taken by means of an
interpreter.
Several witnesses testified to Freder-
ick drawing a revolver and threatening
"to shoot Henry to pieces" The pris-
ener was find $5 and cost and held in
5000 to keep the peace.
Inc next prisoner placed III lne dOcR
was a colorsd man named Benjamin
Groome; who was chaged by Charles
Blundell who keeps the "Friendly Inn, "
Oh Water street near Market street, with
obtaining ten cents worth Of refresh
ments, and refusing to pay for the same.
Mr.. Groom pleaded his own case. and
said that he had walked from Odessa,
that he had passed several saloons, and
knew no one, and was as hungry as a
wolf. For over three years he said he
had dealt with Mr.. Blundell and be
cause he had not the money to pay for
what he had eaten, Blundell ordered
his arrest. The prisoner said that he
never owed him a cent before.
Mr.. Blundell said that the prisoner
had frequently "stood him off, in the
above way.
In consideration of the fact that Ben
iamin was so hungry the Acting Mayor
imposed light penalty and fined the
prisoner 80 cents and cost.

The Prisoners

Edward McGahey, the chief witness
in the killing of Col. Rowe, obtained
the necessary bail (s5oo) and was re
leased last evening by Coroner Butt.
William Forrest and John +. Ray mond
are his bondsmen. No sooner had The
bail been furnished, than McGhaey was
required to pay s. and cost for being
drunk and disorderly. AS was stated
in yesterdays REPUBLICAN, Colman,
another witness, could have procured
bail but declined to accept, giving as a
reason that when wanted he might be
away from the city aud hethought
it best to be sent to Jail. This morn
ing Hugh Dugan who is held without
bail, and Martin Colman, witness,
were taken over to New Castle by Cor
oper ButZ.

An Extensive SeYar.

A we'll known citizen of Newark N. j.,
visite New York last Saturday to sell
SO, 800 of refunding certificates, which
he had managed to secure. The docu-
ments were in neatly tied package,
which he carried in his hand. On the
way over he went into the smoking
car, and found there President Hoop
er, of the Singer Sewing Machine Com
pany, with wilo.n he sat down to talk
During the rue Mr.. Hooper offered
him cigar, and it being particularly
good one, he lighted it immediately
While lighting the fragrant roll of Ha-
vana tobacco he laid the package OF
refunding certificates on the seat of the
car, and never thought of it again un-
til he had reached the ferry house at
Jersey City. His hair rose on end as
he recalled the package, and he has,
tened back Immediately to the car,
but the package had meanwhile disap-
peared. The $4,000 worth of certifi.
Gates were irrecoverably lost, and all
for good segar.

An Unfortuate Blue Coat.

The City Council should take some
action in reference to furnishing tn e
police with sun umbrellas to protect
them from the hot sun rays which
sometimes have such damaging effect
upon them, and which often leads the
way to unjust criticisms of rather
discreditable nature. 1t would only
take twenty eight sun umbrellas to go
around the whole force, and the cost
would hardly exceed two dollars apiece.
As an instance of what mig hit be gain
ed by thus fortifying the police against
the hot sun, it is stated that one OF
these faithful guardians of the peace on
Sunday evening was patrolling the
neighborhood over Eleventh street
bridge, where the murder of Saturday
evening took place, when queer SELL
sation came over him, which of course
was caused by the hot sun though that
bright lumnary had already disap-
peared behind the western hills, knew
ing however that if it wasn't a sun
stroke it ought to be, and not knowing
what the consequences would be our
knight of the locust made for friendly
shelter where he met with hearty
welcome.
Hours passed by and the night be-
ing warm, thirsty throats were slaked
with the cold limpid waters from the
friendly pump in front of the door. In
the waning hours of night the sound
of approaching footsteps are heard and
soon there arose the inquiry: "who dat
knocking at de doah!" The sound of
mirth was hushed and hasty explana-
tions followed as Sergeant of police
and his squad entered to raid the house
and arrest the disorderly characters
who usually made it their headquarters,
The sunstricken blue coat who had
availed himself Of the friendly shelter
was by this time so far recovered that
he began to have an inkling of the
character of the place where he was
found, and confusedly tried to explain
all to the Sergeant. "It was so hot, you
know, and of course you know | would
not 60 to such place if knew it,"
The good-natured Sergeant of course
thought not. Such an unpleasant
meeting somewhat disconnected the
raiding party and noarrests were made
that night from that place. The un.
fortunate policeman has been so prostra-
ted by the effects of that hot Sunday
evening and night that he has not been
able to tie on duty since. All this
trouble might have been avoided had
the City Council only provided the po-
lice with sun-shades.

No Reflection.

In alluding to the annoyance and
disorder complained of in he..Plunkett
Building, Third and Market streets,
yesterday, we should have stated that
the complaint does not arise from the
behavior of those who visit Mr.. Robert
Cardwell's cigar store on the corner.
1t had reference to another part of the
building, over which Mr.. G. has no
control. Mr.. Cardwell is young bust
ness maa of probity and integrity, and
his class of customers are not of the
kind who create disturbances.

about August Beckman, an intineran'

deceiver in that town. He first ap.
peared there about the middle of April
and by his fine personal appearance,
gay clothing and winning ways sue
ceeded in capturing the heart of Sadie
Miller, aged nineteen years. The
young girl was employed about the
house where Beckman boarded. She
was fine looking, healthy young coun-
try lass, who consented to be married
after three weeks courtship. The
pair were married on May 1lth, and
