arm in arm down Washington avenue. They
were walking along quietly, but very
them was little under the influence Of
liquor, though not enough 80 to cause any
outward demonstrations and no one noticed
them particularly. When they reached a
point some distance above the Iibernian
engine house, the officer met them and,
having sharp eye for violators Of the law,
he detected the woman's condition and ar
rested her. This excited the woman and a
most disgraceiul scene was enacted all the
way down the avenue to the
Eleventh street Jail. The woman was
repeatedly thrown down in her
struggles to release herself and frantic,
cries were heard by and attracted people
for squares. The whole proceeding was
infinitely more disgraceful than would
| have been the case had the woman been
| let alone. OF two evils the lesser should
always be chosen and in such cases a prop
er regard for public decency would have
dictated different course from that pur-
sued by the. officer.
The Sanitary Engineer censures the
Louisiana state board of health for its
course in regard to the quarantine service
at the mouth OF the Mississippi. The ser
vice there is of just as much Importance to
the towns further up the river as to New
Orleans and Louisiana, and the sanitary
council of the Mississippi valley, composed
of delegates from all the river states has
asked that an inspector be placed at New
Orleans by the national board to keep out
slders informed as to the manner in which
the quarantine is conducted. 1t seems that
the Louisiana board has accepted this con-
dltion with very i'll grace, and has refused
to communicate with the agent at New
Orleans, though the agent is member OF
the national board and resident of New
Orleans. 1t is charged that the nature of
the refusal was insulting and offensive. 1t
is natural that the state should resist any
effort of the national board to interfere with
or control its quarantine service, but this
seems to be movement in which the
national board has little interest except for
the welfare of the valley states, which are,
of course, anxious to keep out yellow fever
and to know authoratively that the inspec.
ton is thorough.
"A most outrageous assault was per-
petrated late Monday night by brace of
towboat roughs upon stranger who was
quietly going down the Ohio levee. When
the stranger, whose name was Patrick Ma
har, was near the corner of Eighth street
and the leyee, three men suddenly sprang
toward him. Que of them caught HIM
around the neck from behind, while anoth-
er struck him in the face, knocking him
down, and when he cried Justify, some
kicked him in the face, exclaming you
- -, cant make you shut up?"
The object was robbery, as the fellowspro-
ceeded to search the PROSTATE mans pock-
cts; but they had not proceeded very far
with this operation when Officers John p.
Hogan and McTigue, having heard the
mans cries, came running toward them.
The rOugis saught to escape, but the Off
GERS commanded them to halt which two
of them did. The third made break for
up the levee closely followed by Officer
Hogan who fired several shots after him.
Arrived at one Of those small dens on Ohio
levee above Fourteenth street, the fellow
buTsted in the door ana
when the officer entered, the fellow
was lyingin bed by the side Of q child, APP
parently soundly asleep. The officer recog-
nized his man, however, and shook him,
but without waking him. The Office drew
his hand across the mans brow and
said; "My friend, you're sweating"
The fellow moved, rubbed his eyes and
said, "Oh, | always sweat in my sleep"
But the officer was not to be deceived. He
commanded the fellow to arise and come
along, which he did All three of them
were examined by Magistrate Comings yes
terday and held to bail in the sum of five
hundred dollars each. They arc three of
gang of tow boat hands which has been
loafng around the city for the past few days
all sturdy young fellows, with faces
plainly expressing their desperate charac
ters. The three criminals were properly
dealt with by the court and will doubtless
receive their just deserts in the upper court.
Their names are Peter Morgan, Charles
Nedly and Richard Turbain.
