iron have, to considerable extent, done

immense, but the accumulation is small,

THE MARSHAL'S METHODS.
His Contemplate Way Of Trying to
Suppress Police News

Some time ago the head of the police
force gave notice to his men that any of
them who furnished the ARGUS with any
more news of the doings of the police,
did so at his peril. and his discharge
would be forthcoming if he was dis,
obedient. The cause of such orders was
the fact that the ARGUS did not always
give the marshal credit he sought for ar,
rests made but gave the particulars as
they were, and honor to whom honor
was due. Having been deceived by his
accounts of arrests, which tended only to
reflect credit on himself, while in many
instances others had accomplished the
most difficult features of the task. the
ARGUS determined to investigate all mat
tiers before publishing. This aroused
the marshars Indignation and he decided
that only the Union should have the re-
ports of matters transporting in his Office,
because it gave them just as he told
them.
The contemplate methods of the
marshal to keep the important police hap
penings from the ARGUS, however have
proved a signal failure, as it is not in his
power to control all the resources which
the ARGUS reporters have for obtaining
news, and pertaining to the police Office,
too. which Eckhart pretends to own.
