AN AWKWARD DILENMA.-Yesterday after
noon, at a moment when Old Boreas Low
.Jinks was in the fullest of the blast, q lady
and gentleman were going along the sidewalk
In front of the Capitol building, and power
full gust of wind relieved the gentleman of his
head covering. He made an Intellectual grasp
for it, and doing so he stumbled over the
railing enclosing that sidewalk. In the
meantime the hat had gotten a half block the
start of him, and it kept the advantage for
some time The hatless man recovered him
self and away he went after his fugitive hat.
He had gone no more than half block from
the scene of his mishap before he ran into a
stalwart Chinaman carrying pair of baskets
bamboo pole, and he was again hoored,
covered with dust from head to foot. He
arose, and cursing the Celestial in tones that
could be heard above the wind, he continued
his pursuit. At this time the hat was several
blocks ahead of him, rolling and flying alter
nately. In the street in front of the Airing
ton House he was blinded by huge cloud of
dust, and while seeking to clear his eyes he
came within an inch of being run over by
heavily laden wagon. At this point his pa
thence forsook him, and In an undertone, bid
ding the fugitive hat to 60 to the devil, he
rsjoined his lady and purchased new one
To Do JUs1ICE.-To correct false impress
sion prevalent respecting the two young men,
Watkins and Mcguire, who were arrested on
suspicion of having robbed Furong and Chi
naman, and against whom nothing could be
proven, we have made inquiries regarding
their whereabouts on the evening of the rob-
berry and learn from indisputsble sources that
at o'clock on the evening of the 18th inst
they were seen in Virginia, consequently they
must have been perfectly ignorant, even of
the fact that such crime was committed
until they were charged with its commission
Furthermore, we are informed that the repu- |
tation of the young men is not bad-as the
expression goes-never having been accused |
of any crime before. We merely make these
statements to remove a stigma which might |
unjustly rest upon two innocent men.
An UGLY RUMoR. An ugly rumor has been
in circulation in this city for the past day or
two, in connection with the recently perpe-
rated highway robbery. The story which
IS afoat may work great injustice to limo
cent parties; therefore it is to be hoped that
he scoundrels who committed the deed will
DC speedily brought to Justice, and in that
manner give the lie to the unpleasant theo-
les, respecting this case, which are now be-
ng very publicly expressed. The police au
horities are untiring in their efforts to clear
lp the mystery, and before long their endeav-
rs win undoubtedly be rewarded with sue
ess in this direction.
