CROOKED. III was hRreeu, thercloTc, pe-
tween the two employers to proceed against
the two young men simultaneously, and
they were accordingly arrested by Officer
wooten night before last Mr.. O'Hara had
his clerks trunk searched, and il was found
to contain, besides two full boxes OF cigars,
q number of toilet articles, such as per-
fumery, combs, soap, towels, etc. He took
possession of them and gave the young
man (whosc name is suppressed few
hours IN which leave town. He departed
yesterday morning for parts unknown, on
the Vincennes train. Young Newman was
taken to jail and given preliminary hear
ing before Justice Osborn yesterday. He
was held in bond OF two hundred dollars
to answer the charge of embezzlement and
larceny at the circuit court. Failing to give
bond he was taken to the county Jail for
safe keeping.
The steamer John Means took on a
new crew at New Orleans on her up trip,
several of whom were not quite we'll at the
time, being afflicted with the so-called
"break. bone fever These became worse,
and while yet at the New Orleans wharf,
communicated the disease to the entire
crew, all of whom, including the pilot,
clerks, cabin hands and engineers, were
down with it. The boat was, of course, de-
layed thereby, but started on her trip
after a few days. She was halted at the
Memphis quarantine station and rigldly
examined, was allowed to pass, how
ever, and arrived at our wharf yesterday
and after taking what she could get here,
proceeded on her way unmolested. We
have this information from Mr.. Jack Frost,
who was an employe of the boat, but who
abandoned her at this point.
Now that great deal of the stock
bought and sold is liable to be affected
with the prevailing disease, the health Of
ficer should comply with chapter ten, sec
| ton nineteen of the revised ordinances,
which prescribes his duty as an inspector
of meats. He should daily visit every
meat shop in the city so long as the pres
ent scare lasts, and ascertain to certainty
that no unsound meats are offered for sale.
We do not pretend to say that any of our
butchers would knowingly sell unsound
meats. but possibly they might do so I'M
knowingly, and since many family has
been prevented from purchasing beef ow-
| ing TO the belief that unsound meat would
be palmed off on them, it would be to the
interest of the butchers, as we'll as to the
people in general, should he comply with
the requirements of the ordinance aforesaid.
He is a competent judge of meats, and since
he has no other very urgent duties to per-
form at the present time, should let the
people have the benefit OF his knowledge.
DIR. Clark informs us that Gen. Haskell
left the city with his army without settling
with him for the quarters which the army
occupied during their stay here. The
amount due the Doctor was seven dollars,
but in the goodness of his heart he had re-
solved to charge the General only five dol
lars when the hour Of settlement should
arrive. But, owing to the Generals trick
cry, that hour has not yet put in an appear
ance and, according to the Doctors belief,
will forever keep itself very scarce
Immediately before his departure the Gen
eral rented the quarters tor the entire WIN
ter, saying that he intended 10 make Cairo
his headquarters, and then left the city WITH
his army for Paducah, while the Doctor was
absent from the building Upon his arrlya
at paducah he wrote to the Doctor that hi
would return in few days and pay him
but according to the Doctors reckoning
= IA few days" have already elapsed, and since
I the General nor his check have not yet shown
: themselves, the Doctor is not inclined t
r place any great reliance in any promise tn
l General may make in the future.
