ReardiuH the Lion.

Yesterday afternoon, a tramp, who
had not the fear of the law before his
eyes, or any dread of the officers sworn
to execute it, entered the back yard or
the residence of Sergeant Zerby, No.
9O3 KirkwOod street, and stole dress
and number OF other articles of female
apparel. belonging to his wife. At the
time Of the robbery, Mr.. Zerby who
was not very well, " IS lying down, and
no one saw the fellow until he was
leaving, when he was discovered by a
neighbor. The same man stopped In
Mr.. Stidhams No. 800 Kirkwood
street, in the morning and upon his
telling a pitiable story she gave him his
breakfast. These Migrants have not
only become nuisance but also have
become SO dang rOus in this city that
some stringent means will have to be
adopted for their suppression.
As many of them who have been ar
rested have been discharged after a
few days imprisonment, they have
grown more daring than ever, and seem
to defy the police.

A Singular Case.

Several days ago an ased woman APP
peared before Judge Cummins and
swore out warrant for her husband,
John F. Brainard, whom she charged
with being drunk and abusing her. The
warra t wa, placed in the hands of an
officer, and the prisoner furnished bail
for his appearance. The case was
called yesterday morning.. but the
woman did not appear, and the man
said she had gone TO Chester He said
that she had him arrested several times
before and never appeared against him,
and he wanted her to come now, and 1t
won Il I've seen who was in fault.
The Judge had grave doubts about
the woman being out Of the city, aud
he ordered an attachment issued, which
was placed in officer Simmons hands to
serve. Before Court opened this morn
ing the woman and man were both
present, but while office Simmons went
down stairs for moment they went
out on Market street, where they stood
and talked for some time. The man
gave her something which he took on
of his vest pocket, but whether it was
money or not the party who witnessed
the transaction could not say, as The
transfer was made so quick. When
the case was called the woman had
gone and the office said that he did moi
know what had become Of her. Th,
Judge told him that he should have re
tanned her in his custody until the cast
was heard, and if he had to leave tn
room should have appointed some on
else to watch her.
He said that after an officer took
person in custody he was responsible
for their appearance, and if the
escaped through his negligence he wa
liable TO be indicted. The case wa
postponed Until Monday morning at
O'Clock, at which time it is highl

short time afterwards to find him at

ly told him to 60 out, when the fellow
struck him singing blow.
