A warrant was issued yesterday for the ar.

coloIed men approached and proposed that
they walk to the Eastern branch The girls
accepted the invitation, and when near Ben.

Smith knocked her down aud dragged her
100 yards, and then by force outraged her. In
the struggle her earrings were lost or taken by
him, and he also took her rings breastpin
and jersey. He kept her on the spot until

MARTYRS TO DISCIPLINE.


A number of men might have been seen last
night in different parts of the city in short
sack coats OF light flannel material and with
not lining. They all owned oyercoats and
the garments were not deposited as collateral
they shlvered and sought sheltered corners,
holding their hands in their pockets to keep
their fingers from becoming too much be-
numbed to use the clubs which they carried
under their arms.
These poor men were policemen. They had
not yet received permission from headquarters
to don their winter coats, much less the warm
overcoats which most of them have paid for,
ali except new appointees, in fact. A few did
indeed brave the dangers of the trial board by
taking out their lOng.tailed coats, and thus
saved the neither portion of their anatomy of
the possible expense of decapitation for viola;
lation of discipline; but the majority suffered
and shiyered.

The pile was thirty feet in length, twelve feet

by the inspector being only half that. The
test was equivalent to an audience of 1888

bricks used would build a three-story house
