Five million fve-cent coins Of the new
pattern having been distributed among the
public, the first installment of the revised
edition, with the omitted word scents now
superscribed on them, have made their ap-
pearance in this city. Such of the original
pieces as shall not be gradually drawn out
of circulation and recoired, or washed with
gold BY sharpers to delude ignorant people
into taking them for half eagles, will be
kept as curiosities, after while, and as
mementoes of Official obstinacy and stupid
ty in making a coin without stamping on
| il the denomination to which 1t was meant
to belong. Meanwhile the old fashioned
uickels continue to give general satisfac'
ton, as they always did, SO far as convent
ence of size is concerned, despite their in
artistic design.

Naughty boys have been giving the
street car company much trouble OF late,
by jumping ON cars, pulling the bell rope,
or turning on brakes and then jumping off
again before the driver could lay hands on
them. Yesterday charges were preferred
against several of them, under the ordinance
passed by the council especially for the
protection of the street railway company,
| but Superintendent Neff was induced to
withdraw the charges by the plesdings OF
the young culprits who promised "not to
do so any more" The bad-boy nuisance is
q source of great vexation to the company
and nothing but vigorous prosecution of
half dozen or more of the young offenders
will abate it.
| "A white man named Jno. Walsh came
over from East Caro- Wednesday night in
an intoxicated condition and sat down on
the railing of the high walk near the south
| corner of Fourth street and Ohio levee. He
fell from the railing to tbe ground, a distance
tance of twenty feet or more, and received
injuries which disabled him so that he
could not rise. He WAS too drunk to call
for helpsnd he lay there until morning when
passers-by saw him and notified Chief
Myers who had him Immediately conveyed
to St. Marys Ipfrmary. The mans injur-

dering the movement of his limbs difficult
and painful. He had couple Of dollars
in his pockets. He has no home particu-
larly, travelling about the country and work
| ing at odd jobs whenever and wherever he
could get them. He will probably be all
right again ina few days.
