on our force, had narrow escape last
night, while trying to capture tthe safe
burglar at the Short-line Depot. but when
ever Jimmie gets his clampers on a man he
is gone. Yet Cap. Mcclure has the sublime
cheek to ask police to work for $i2 week.
The Captain ought to try policing for a
week and be caught in such dangerous
place, and perhaps he would change his
opinion.

CHARLEY RUGs Is DEAD.-Yes, this kind
hearted, whole -souled and lasting friend
passed silently from earth shortly after
last night with a fond farewell to all his
friends as parting word. Charley was
the soul OF honor, and would have almost
suffered death before he would have been
guilty of a mean act.
He was born on York street Immediately
opposite the Court House thirty-seven
years ago and has been resident of this
city all his life with the exception of a few
years during and after the late war. His
father, LYMAN Rugg, took a company over
land during the early excitement of the
gold fever and became very wealthy, but
on returning the steamer Western World
on which he was passenger, sank and he
narrowly escaped with his life, leaving his
gold to perish. He however lost his life in
the Ohio by accidentally stepping from the
ferry one morning during dense fog.
| Charley enlisted under Col. Biddle ir
the Sixth Indiana Cavalry during 1862. anG
was ASSIGNED to duty with the Army of the
Cumberland and upon the organization o
the company and regiment he was pro
NOTED to First Lieutenant. He partic
pated in all the engagements during the
campaign of the Cumberland. He was
captured in 1868 near Richmond, Ky., and
paroled, and in 1864 was recaptured neal
Macon, Ga, in Stoneman's celebrated cav
airy raid. In all he served about year in
prison.
He was Aid-de-Camp under Gen. Bid
dies staff in the celebrated Morgan raid
and by his tact and shrewdness always had
the confidence of his superior officers. HI
was fluent speaker and had vast amount
OF information on almost any subject, and
with all he was natural born wit. H.
always looked on the "bright side" and
was ever welcome and sociable compan
ion. and as soldier he left behind record
Hardships in the army brought on par
alysis from which he never recovered, ant
which, no doubt, shortened his days
After the war he engaged in the WOO
business at Danville, Illinois, but was un
successful. On returning to this city b,
received an appointment as Deputy United
States Marshal, under Weden Onel. Hi
funeral, which takes place tomorrow, will
