LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

INFANT BgIGANDs.-An anonymous com
munication, received by Chief Karcher yes
terday. indicates that state of hoodlumisn
exists in the neiehborhood between o and P,
Eighth and Tenth streets, which requires g
proclamation of martial law and suspension
of the writ of habeas corpus. 1t represents
that section, under the sway of the little and
larger boys, as pandemonium exemplifad
and that Sundays are made unbearable by
extra feats and performances. Added to the
rest, they have just broke out into the mania
of sling-shot practice at its widest range,
and the demand for mechanics TO barricade
the buildings in the neighborhoed, it is
claimed, is unparalleled. Injuries to persons
from the sling-shot nuisance are already re-
ported, and several cases of killing poultry
and even pet birds in cages hanging in
porches are mentioned. From the reports
sent in to police headquarters it is evident that
nothing short of the application of Gatling
battery will due justice to the occasion OF
successfully reduce the infant brigands. The
point of greatest surprise, however, with
Chief Karcher is, that with such unlimited
necessity for police protection, and the nerv.
Gus tension the writer must have been under
when revealing this condition of affairs that
she did not substantiate the facts by giving
her name, without which the Chief has re-
peatedly announced that ne would pay go at
tention to complaints. Statements of warm
condition of affairs in that section from small
offenders have been received, however, from
other sources.
VEGETABLE FIRM WRECKED.-Two China.
men bringing rowboat load of vegetables to
the city for market yesterday morning met
with a mishap which caused total loss of
their stock and business. As they were pass.
ing under the east end of the railroad bridge
near the Pioneer Mills their boat ran across
tow-line leading from a schooner to the
wharf, which line was submerged at that
point few inches below the surface of the
water, but which was just high enough to
catch the bottom of the boat and wreck the
fortunes of the Hong Wong Gee Sing Veg
etable Corporation. The moment the boat
caught upon the line the strong current car
ried the craft partially around in a circle and
then capsized it, the vegetables going to the
bottom, the boat floating by itself down
stream, leaving the Hong Gee Company
struggling for dear life in the current, which
carried them rapidly downward. Fortunately
Lewis were upon that vessel. near by. and
putting out in boat rescued the unfortunate
Celestials, who were warm in their express
sions of gratitude for the timsly aid rendered
them.
