A Respite for tho Tramps.

The Augusta Heel Company. under WHOSE
management the tramps at the jail have beer
cutting leather for the past fe weeks, have
given up their contract, after holding it two
months. II was found that not enough labor
could be forced from the reluctant Jail Bird
to pay for the trouble and expense of keep
ing up the shop. While one ordinarily ener'
getie man, working for himself, can cut from
twenty to forty pounds of leather daily
none of the tramps went above
ten pounds and the average man,
even under the sharp eye of the overseer,
cut scarcely six. One day the tramps under
the able generalship of Mike Madden, or
gained strike, and quit work relying on
the fact that the accommodations ordinarily
in use at the Jail are insufficient to accommo-
date them all in solitary confinement Sheriff
Stevens, however, was equal to the emergen-
cy and purchasing some new locks placed the
strikers in the chilly cells in the wood house
1t took but short sojourn on this damp ground
to induce them to return to work. Mr.. j. +
Horne was In the city yesterday, and it is un-
derstood that the Portland Heel Co., which
he represents. desire to take the contract at q
figure somewhat lower than that paid by the
Augusta Co. The County Commissioners
however. believe that the work of heel cut
ting is too light to prove much of bugbeal
to vagrants and favor the erection Of stont
shed either on the Jail grounds or at thu
Winthrop street quarry.

love last fall, and who has just completed
serving a sentence for the sssaek and battery
o. which tender hearted hearted jury found
him guilty, is again in trouble. Last Tues
day night Dudley and a man named Turner
stopped for supper at Mrs. Nadeau's, on the
East side. In pulling out his money to pay
for the meal Turner dropped on the floor a
roll of bills which he claims amounted to
s25. Aiger quickly picked them upand put
ting them in his pocket walked of. The
complaint was made early yesterday morn
ing and City Marshal Morse Immediately
started out with a tam. He didn't find
Alger at his home but by fast riding and
dilisent inquiry discovered that he had struck
across lots, and WAS on the Cross Hill road
where he was afterwards overtaken and cap
tured. Before Judge Andrews he pleaded
not guilty, denying all knowledge of the
money Mrs. Nadeau however testified
positively that she saw him pick up the bills
and he was obliged 10 furnish $500 bonds for
appearance at the April term of Superior
Court.

To Leave ReIptun,.

BRUSSELS. April 2O.-General Boulanger
has decided to leave Belgium. He will
start for London on Wednesday next.
General Boulanger's decision is due to the
warning given him by the Government that

expelled.
NJ. Bouree, the French Ambassador, yes
terday informed Prince de Cbimay, Minister
of Foreign Affairs, that the meeting of the
Boulanger committee in Brussels impressed
thu Paris government uuflvorably. The
cabinet thereupon sent an official to
the hotel at which General Bou
LANCER is stopping to warn the Gen.
eraI that he must leave Belgium on his
own accord or the government would expel
him. After consulting with M. Rochefort
Gen. Bouanger consented to leave. The
