A BAD LoT.-Complaint is frequently
made that "a certain dive on X street, next
door to somewhat notorious concert sa-
loon, is these days the headquarters of
some of the toughest characters in the CITY,
and Judging from the appearance and ac-
tons OF the creatures that are to be seen
going and coming from the place, they
must certainly he q bad lot. Almost every
night one or more officers are called into
the so-called saloon to quell disturb
ances. Last evening two habitues of the
den, q COlored youth known to Police Court
fame as Jesse Slaughter and one Patterson,
alias Pendegast-whO is said to be one of
| the lowest of the lover loafer class-got
| into row over a game of cards, when
Slaughter yanked Outa pistol and was about
| to make CORY corpse OF Mr.. Patterson,
when some one struck the weapon down.
| Officers Sullivan and Frank Rider, who
We're near at hand, rushed to the place and
| captured Pendegast, but Slaughter had
managed to get away. Pendegast was
booked at the station-hOuse for disturbing
| the peace, but it IS possible that in his case
| the vagrancy ordinance may be found 20
have direct and positive application. The
sooner the community is rid Of these fell
| lows who live off the wages of women's
sins the better. Mr.. Slaughter might lust
as well walk up to the Captains office and
surrender himself and his gun. Tor he is
wanted and tie officers are hound t. have
| him.
New EVENING PAFHR-The SIM. e new
evening paper, made its first appearance
yesterday. 1t is a four-paga sheet with the
full size a little over twenty by twenty eight
inches, with six columns to the page, is
well composed and presents handsome
| typographical appearance For q first mum
| Der II IS quite up to what can be expected of
| the initial effort in such an enterprise. and
! gives promise of still better work. News
papers are not born full-armcd. but must
grow into strength and right proportions.
| 1t has the modesty not to launch upon sea
| of sounding promises. The SUu announces
| that il is to be issued each day in the wear.
| and that it will be Independent, with Dem
OcratiC proclivitics, always in favor of the
honest Republican as against the Democrat
ic rascal 1t presents thirteen columns of
reading matter and notices, and eleven of
standard advertisements. and thus indj-
Gates that it has the basis of iair business
support at the outset OF the quality and
timber Of the new paper, while its columns
are creditable to its force, it would be unwise
TO pronounce judgment upon single issue
