| tefprise; but Porter shot one, winged a
couple of others, and created such general
CONSERVATION that the rest were scared out
of their wits, and he got off without a
scratch. He was captured at last for bur-
glary in Philadelphia, and after serving his
term was remanded to Brooklyn, where he
was sentenced for five years to the State
prison. His term has just expired, and he
now declares that, like his former compa-
| triot, Shany Draper, he is going to lead an
honest life. The company he keeps is not
indicative of reformation, and if eonsump-
ton does not carry him off soon / should
not be surprised to see him back in his old
quarters.
The sun has poured down ON us with tor
rid heat, and although it is about the season
of the year that we might reasonably look
for such phenomenon, nobody IS satisfied
and everybody is gruinbling. Ten days
ago you might have worn an overcoat: this
week you might have been stripped of your
skin, and even sitting, as Sidney Smith
said, in your bones" man would have
felt uncomfortable. When the thermometer
rises above ninety in New York it inficts
more positive misery on tho miserable
wretches who live in the tenement houses
than when it strikes zero in winter. In the
seven and eight story tenement houses on
the narrow streets the atmosphere is insult
ferable. A hundred human beings crowded
together under single roof; eight or ten
sleeping in close room with no possible
ventilation; the horrors of the Black Hole
of Calcutta were nothing to it. 1t has been
a week of positive suffering, though the last
few days have been slight improvement
over the early portion of the week.
There has been rattling among the dry
bones in the detective squad, several of the
old members being laid on the shelf.
Since Jay Gould has taken to catching we
see or hear but little of him on the stock
market. By the way, stocks got a little
boom this week, but we can hardly tell if
the dunn thing will stick.
The strife between Governor Cleveland
and the TaInmany braves still continues.
The Governor has the sympathy of all re-
spectacle people. His policy in regard to
tariansappropriations may kill him with
the politicians, but it has earned him the
respect of all just men, Republicans Or
Democrats.
Truly yours, BROADBRIM.

York caused them to skip across the river,
and the whole party, under assumed names,
hired fine house on Patchen Avenue
Brooklyn. The reputed wives or Molls of
the burglars looked like elegant ladies. They
dressed finely, played on the piano, occa-
sionally INDUCED in a game of crcquet on the
lawn, and although they made but very few
acquaintance, they seemed to enjoy them
selves SO we'll that they were the envy of all
the neighbors. Several daring robberies in
the vicinity set the police to thinking, and
an old Brooklyn detective who knew Porter,
saw him 60 into hardware store and pur
chase sledge- hammer. Now when a de-
1ective sees well known burglar buying
sledge-hammers he is apt to think that
something is wrong. He attempted to fol-
