alone. The fellows are therefore believed
to be professionals. The efforts of the off
GERS here to keep the city clear of SUSPECT
GUS characters seem to prove successful, fol
there have been no depredatons upon the
property of citizens here for some time.

JEFF Barbce, colored driver of a
wood-delvery wagon, was fined five dollars
ank costs by Magistrate Comings yester-
day, for driving loaded wagon onto the
sidewalk in the lower portion of the city to
unload wood into a yard The complaint
was made by an alderman who had been
compelled to make his way around the
wagon in the mud.
Work on Mr.. Kines drive well has
again been abandoned for the time being.
The pipe is bent in the ground and refuses
to be driven further. Good water can be
obtained at its present depth, but the flow
is not voluntary. In order to make an ar
tesian well new pipe will have to be
driven, and it is at present not probable
that Mr.. Kline will go to that expense.
Captain Jno. A. Scudder has retired
from the Anchor Line company; and will
make trip to Europe for pleasure. He
was president and superintendent of the
company for number Of years and held
controlling interests in both lines Of steam
ers run by the company. His retirement is
an important event in the history of the
company. Captain Jno. Keyser steps into
Capt, Scudder's shoes,
Rutherford Rirchard Hayes, who is
still dimly remembered as former occu-
pant of the white house, has written chip
per letter in which he says "The local
outlook is improving Unity and harmony
are the watchwords, We might parsphraze
Henry A. Wise's saying thus; The union
of Republicans for the sake of the Repub-

speaks of the Jubiant Fremonter as Ruther-
fraud.
Mr.. Jno. McNulty received letter

Joe Anderson, the negro who came here
from Jackson, Tennessee, after back pen.
sion Of $4,000, at the solicitation of slick
negro from there, was still. in the city yes
terday, waiting for means to get back home.
An error occurred in the item relating to
him in yesterdays paper, namely that he
was confdencede out of the 800 here. The
trick was perpetrated upon him at Jackson
and he did not notify the officers here until
.wenty-four hours after the scoundrel had

"A young colored boy, son of the Rev.
Jacob Brady, was in the act of jumping
onto moving passenger train on the Hi.
lois Central incline yesterday evening,
when he fell with one foot uner car wheel
which passed over the foot and crushed 1t
10 badly that amputation was necessary.
But this little incident does not prove that
every boy who jumps on trains will have his
foot crushed and amputated, therefore
other boys need not allow it to deter them
in the least from amusing themselves in
their favorite way.
Argument was concluded in the Men
niger Lutz damage case yesterday afternoon
and the case was given to the july about

May 10th A. D. 1889 the jury Is hung and
is not likely to agree before closing The
BULLETIN forms. AS stated before, this case
has been tried three times before. The first
time Judge Baker, before whom it came up,
was struck with apoplexy while the case
was on trial and the jury had to be dis
charged the second time the jury failed to
agree, aud the third time complainant was
allowed fifteen hundred dollars. In this
case Mrs Nenninger sues for five thousand
dollars.
