Like Banquo's ghost he would always bob
up serenely just at their heels whenever
they had thought they had given him the
shake, and they concluded finally that they
must run if they would get beyond the
reach of the eagle-eye Of their nemesis.
Accordingly they moved with as much care
lessness as they could assume, down Eighth
street toward Washington avenue up that
toward Ninth street; out that toward Wal
nut street-all the while looking back only
to see the form Of the chief following like
shadow. Arrived at the corner Of Tenth
and Walnut streets, they turned quickly
and started on run toward the Mississippi
levee, and along that toward the brick
yard On their way across the commons,
one Of them discharged pistol in order to
brighten any one who might attempt to
head them off, and thus continued on a
wild run Five minutes later, they were
coming back partly over the same route in
custody of the chief, who had followed them
on horseback to within q short distance Of
the brick yard, and requested them to ac-
company him to the municipal reservoir for
dsregarders of the law. In what the guilt
of these young fellows consists remains to
be developed; they we're arrested, chiefly
because they acted like persons guilty Of
something, which called down the laws
penalty upon their hcads--they invited ar.
rest, aud they we're arrested

Three youths, rough looking young
fellows, aged respectively about eighteen,
twenty-one and twenty-five, gave Chief
Myers long run toward the brick yard
yesterday afternoon, about four o'clock.
They were strangers and suspicious looking
characters; they had been wandering
around town during the day, and had ex.
cited the curiosity of Chief Myers, who
kept an eye upon them. With tho con-
seriousness of guilt in their bosoms which
they could not conceal, they were quick to
perceive that the chief was not entirely in
different to their movements, and they,
therefore, sought to avoid him a. much a.
possible. But the chief was too sharp for
them, he was not to be shaken of so easily

Yesterday the last of series Of dinners
given at the Reform hall by the ladies Of
the Episcopal church took place, and it was
perhaps the biggest day Of the three. Five
tables, large enough to easily accommo.
date eight persons were almost continually
occupied from i2 until o'clock, and we're
attended by an army Of young ladies, who
were charmipgly polite in their attentions
to all. Other ladies were engaged at the
stove and temporary pantry, but found
time to exchange pleasant words with the
guests, and assist in the general endeavor
to make all who came feel perfectly at
home The bill of fare was fully as COM
plete as any ever presented at the grand
hotels in the country. II comprised several
varieties of fish and meats, artistically pre-
pared, sauces Of different kinds salads, Gus.
tards, cakes, pies, ice cream, raisins, nuts,
all gotten up in so many different forms
that one would become bewildered in an at
tempt to make choice between them, and
all presenting an array so attractive to the
eye and tempting to the palate that one
could not help regretting the impossibility
of doing full justice to every dish. Yet, if
any departed without being fully satisfied,
it was their own fault; for the ladies wero
persistent in their efforts to supply their
guests each with good share of every ar
ticle on the list, There is no doubt but
that many who took dinner at the Reform
hall within the last three days will regret
that the ladies Of the Episcopal church can
not DO prevailed upon to make these din
ners permanent institution and will look
forward with longing eyes and hungry
stomach toward the happy day when the
''series Of three shall be repeated. The
net proceeds Of the undertaking must have
been swelled fully one half during yester.
day afternoon, ifone may Judge from the
immense crowd that continually thronged
the largo hall.

- Railroad managers have had recent
meeting at the office of the president of the
Illinois Central railroad in Chicago, to con-
slider the propricty Of abolishing the free
pass system az it is now generally practiced.
In the course Of lengthy article noticing
the evils that have grown up, and the diff
ferent classes that claim recognition under
the system, the Chicago Journal very truth
fully and forcibly protests against the
newspaper fraternity being included in the
list of dead heads II says editors
should never be included in the list Of dead
heads. They always render value received,
and thousand times over, for all they
get in the way Of free passes anywhere,
They give their time, their talents, and the
use of their journals, for the benefit of
whom it may concern, to an extent that no
one understands outside of newspaper
office. A hundred times year they per-
form some sort of service for the railroad
companies that is of money value to the cor
porations, and yet which impinges so
strongly upon the business Of newsgather.
ing that no charge can BIO made by the
journal, and nothing is received. Thus, q
wash.out binders the trains on great
route, and travel Ia turned into other chan

the news that tho damage is repaired and

AT half past twelve O'Clock yesterday
morning fire broke out in a small hut oc-
cupied by an old colored man named Geo.
Buckner and his family, standing near the
Mississippi levce on Fourteenth street.
The fire began in the gable end of an ad.
dition to the main house
and broke out through the
roof with much fury before it was discov-
cred The inmates consisting of the old
man, who must have seen about seventy
FIVE seems, his wife aud four or five children,
all of whom rushed out Of their burning
home without taking time to dress, and
proceeded to save as much of their little
possessions as possible by throwing them
out of doors and windows in every shape
About this time the fire bells began to ring
and it was but few minutes when a large
crowd had gathered around the burning
house and assisted the old folks in saving
chickens, wood pile, dogs fences, etc, and
in pulling down whatever outhouses might
be in the way, which might
serve to communicate the flames to neigh
boring houses AS a result Of this vigorous
action. the flames we're confined to the sim
gle building and an army of rats were sud.
denly deprived of their lodging places and
scampered in all directions in search Of
others. None of the fire engines in the
city were present, and they could have done
no good if they had been, for there was no
water in the neighborhood Thus left to
itself the fire consumed what material could
not be snatched from its NAV, because of
the excessive heat while the crowd stood
by with hands in their pockets, powerless
to do anything, and the stricken family sat
on q log close by bowed down in grief for
the loss Of their all,

ARTHUR NJ. DENTON, of San Marcos, aged
nineteen years. AZ
xSeldom has it been the lot of the writer to
record more distressing event, or the death
of u more noble young man, than il spoken
.ofih the sbovs. paragraph. Only . month
or txossince he came home fronithe college
at Louisville, KY, where he had partially
completed his medical course, full of youth
full ambition and hope, and in the vacation,
being of an active spirit, engaged his serv-
ices ON the l. a u. N. r. Il. A short time
previous to the 3oth he had been on a visit
nome, where he had enjoyed the sweetest
Of. pleasures with his parents, sisters and the
little ones when, receiving notice from a
superior officer that there would probably
be a better position offered him. with accus-
toned promptness he hastened by freight TO
be at San Antonio. He had also thought Of
stopping TO see his uncle at Davenport, but
while getting on or off, tits not known which,
he fell between the carsand received fatal in
juries. His cries were heard by the con-
ductor, who stopped the train and then took
the young man TO San Antonio. where he
died at IL, A. N. Dispatches were sent nm
mcdiately to his parents, but before they
could reach him by train he WAS dead He
was conscious 10 the last and felt that he
must die, His first words were keep
me alive until mother comes" He direct
ed that his uncle be sent for but not his
aunt, saying the shock would be too great for
her. The remains wsre brought back Tues
day evening and the procession from the cars
was the most sorrowful we have ever wit
messed, followed by the father and mother
with hearts breaking for their first-born son.
The house was draped in deep mourning,
only on the piano was a photograph Of Ar
thur wreatbcd in white rssss and erape. The
and form retained n perfectly
serene and beautiful appearance after death.
The house was visited Dy numerous friends.
