AT IT AGAIN.-Wailace Mcpherson, the
formerly self-styled Estate Gardener" who
has just completed q sentence in the County
Jail for obtaining money under false pre-
| lenses, has again launched out for business
and notoriety. Night before last he worrned
himself into sympathy of the attendants at
the camp meeting of the United Brethren
being held on III street, by representing him
self to be member of the church and in q
destitute condition. La this manner he got
his case stated publicly to the brethren, who
contributed to his necessities. Last night he
took another turn, and getting some
what in liquor from funds received
from the collection of the night before, he
made things lively at Mrs. Quinn's place,
Fifth and o streets, by tearing his wife's dress
nearly off from her, demolishine beer table
and kicking the landlady in so impolite
manner that she viii probably eat her meals
from the mantlepiece for the next day or two.
She reported his proceedings to police head
quarters, when officers Ferral and Rider
went out for him. When they arrived, Mrs.
Quinn was on the front walk and told them
Mcpherson was on the inside. They went
in, but Nc. slipped out another way to the
his fist and left at his utmost speed.
As soon as size could sufficiently reorganize
herself, she informed the officers of this last
edition of the case and they Immediately
gave pursuit for him. After an intensely
lively chase through all the alleys, back
yards, wood-sheds and runways generally for
radius of about four squares, he got so
closely pressed that he inadvertently ran
against COTTONWOOD tree and was knocked
down. Before he could get under way again
he was captured and conducted to the sta
tien-house, where he was awarded the iron
tank for his quarters, and was still
exceedingly crisp in his movements aud
anxious to get even with some one.
