Suits Against Boats ind Against Viola
tors of Revenue Laws

Some weeks ago the steamer J. W. Gar
rett left ST. Louis for this city and Pitts
burgh with q tow of iron ore, &c, She ship
ped a crew, it is alleged for the round trip,
barring distractions by ice. When the boat
arrived at the SarrowS, below this city she
was laid up or account OF low water and
the crew discharged, receiving only such
wages as they had earned. They at once
came TO this city, and representing their
case to the United States Commissioner as
stated above, sued out an attachment for
the boat. This instrument was given to
Deputy Marshal Kennedy for service, and
he went down 20 Hates Rock and tied up
the boat. or rather took the bond OF Capt.
Julius Wehrman for the forthcoming of
the property. This, however, did not sat
isfy the the men. and they yesterday went
to Pittsburgh TO institute proceedings there
against her, and rs the river has risen and
the boat has gone, then it is likely that she
will De again tied up on her arrival. Fail
ing TO get satisfaction there the men say
they will try il again at Louisville and st.
Louis.
Capt EKennedy also served papers
on the Scioto. Captain Dillon, yesterday. to
satisfy claim against her which Mrs.
Ragon and daughter, the cooks, allege is
due them for services. Captain Dillon ar
ranged the matter by giving bail for hear

Correction.

In an interview with prominent mem
her of the Board OF Equalization and APP
pealS. published yesterday. the stateme emit
was made that The present Collector dis
covered that the amount he was charged
with by the City Clerk was several thouS-
and dollars less than the amount of the
bills when he made them out himself. He
corrected the mistake. but a dishonest col
!ectOr might have POcketed the surplus
without the fact ever being discovered"
We understand that there has been some
miSapprehenSiOn of the above paragraph
and desire to correct il. The gentleman
quoted could not have referred to the pres
cnt City Clerk. Ii there was any error
made by the City Clerk it was not made by
the present clerk, because he has charged
the Collector with no bills, nor can he until
the conclusion OF the labors of the Board of
Equalization and Appeals. The present
City Clerk has had no official connection
with the present Collector.

side was bloodshot and bleared. His whole
face was discolored, and in short he was
beaten black and blue all over his counte-
nance. Carroll was also on hand with his
head in a sling. likewise his neck. He looked
rather pale, the result of the loss OF blood.
He exposed his coat with the sleeves CASH
ed and cut in many places from the lower
portion to the arm-pit. showing the despe-
rate effort made by Gardener to do his
work we'll.
The testimony ELECTED showed that the
men had been engaged in frscas earlier in
the day, but had apparently composed
their difficulties and that early Sunday
morning Gardener went to SCOTS restau-
rant and called out Carroll. whom he struck
in the face with his left hand, while he cut
at him with his right hand. Carrolrs &C

10 Burn Up the Property OF
sheriff Brown Yesterday Morning.

Early yesterday morning a servant girl
in the employ of Sheriff c. L. Brown dis
covered bright light in the stable in the
the stable man at work, did not immedi-
ately give the matter any further attention.
After the lapse of few moments, however,
she noticed that the light had increased in
brightness. and she at once alarmed the
family and some neighbors, who at once
went to work TO extinguish the flames,
which they succeeded in doing only with
great difficulty. 1t was then found that the
flames had been started up in manger on
the first floor and were unqucstionably OF
incendiary origin. The Sheriff has no idea
who the scoundrel is nor can he fathom his
motives for attempting the outrage. Had
the fire got completely startedit is hard to say
what the results might have been, rs the
neighborhOod on both sides Of the alley is
thckly built up and the loss OF property
would have been necessarily large.
