AN IMPORTANT CAPTURE.

A New Haven Teief Steals a Horse and
 Buggy in New Britain, Sells It in
 WalIingford and Is Arrested in This
 City.
 An important and clever capture of a horse thief was made by the police last evening. Last Saturday Edward J. Cook of this city obtained horse and buggy from iveryman in New Britain and drove to Wallingford, where he disposed of the team to a gentleman named Morse for about S45. Later the New Britain liv- eryman went to Wallingford and identi- fled his team as the one which had been sold to MT. Morse. Mir. Morse gave up the team, and in company with Sheriff Aus tin came to this city and entered a com plaint, thinking that Cook would undoubt- edly come here.
 the police station that Cook was at the steamboat dock, and Sergeant Cook and Officer Dippold were detailed upon the case. Officer Dippold knew the man by sight, and was aware of the fact that on Saturday Cook had in his possession 6 large roll of bills prior to the complaint having been entered at headquarters. Both officers were sent to the steamboat dock, [, where, by the use of considerable diplo- macy, the thief was captured as he WAS about to take passage for New York; and after first denying that he was the man wanted, finally confessed that his name was Cook. He had changed his appear ance considerably by having his mustsche shaved of, but notwithstanding this fact Oaicer Dippold easily recognized him. When searched at headquarters he had but little over S15 in his possession. The New prisoner this morning.

Wonderful Changes in the Appear
 ance of the Country.
 YUMA, Ariz., Aug. 11.-Daily arrivals from the region of Sonora, ,on the Colorado river, report wonderful change in the to- pography and appearance of the country. Many old land marks are obliterated. Prominent natural objects have been wiped from the face of the earth and new ones created in unexpected places.
 The damage done is principally to stock men, who have lost many head of cattle. The Cocopah Indians are heavy losers. The small stream, four miles north of Lerdo, which prior to the earthquake was readily forded, has become impossible, owing to it's depth. It is now necessary to cross the yA1ercourse, six miles back from the Colorado.
 The Cocopah Indians say that another earthquake is liable to occur soon. They say that natural signs indicate it.

AN AFFRAY ON THE GREEN

A Cutting Scrape Among Colored
 People - Skinner is Attacked by
 Brown and Uses a aPenknffe-Arrests
 are Made by Deputy Coroner Pond.
 A colored cutting affray on the old green last night furnished great excitement in the vicinity for few moments. James State street restaurant, had come down town with Elnora Price, a colored girl liv- ing at 5S Webster street. The couple were strolling by the Center church when four young colored youths, Frank Cadet, Wal ter Coxon, William Brown and George Price, brother of the girl, came up and after few words passed by. Skinner and the Price girl sat down on one of the benches in front of the church. Suddenly Brown turned back and fell purposely over Skinner, accompanying the action with abusive language. When the latter demonstrated he was knocked down by severe blow in the forehead, ,trampled upon and held to the ground with the help of one of Browns friends. Skinner drew a small pocket knife and commenced slash ing Brown in the arms, head and body.
 As soon as the man was cut, he ran screaming 'Polce, Police" down the green to Church street. At this moment Deputy Coroner Pond came on the scene. He caught Skinner by the arm and Brown by the nape of the neck and dragged them resisting to the street, when he succeeded in attracting the attention of Officer Daley, with whose aid the two men were brought to headquarters.
 There Brown was taken with a most alarming fit. He fell to the floor, bleeding the while profusely from all his wounds, and went into the most extraordinary con tortions and Dr. White was summoned and upon his arrival it was found that his wounds were not serious. He was kept in the lookup over night. Skinner was bailed out by Samuel Nixon of the "New York Chop House" on s150 bonds.

A DEsERTER,s TOLL TO BE FREE

Working all Night to Burn the Htns-
 es From His Cell Door With a Hot
 Poker.
 CAMDEN, N. Y., Aug. 11.-William Steele, twice deserter from the Eleventh regiment, U. s. infantry, at Fort Ontario, New York, was arrested at Sylvan Beach last Sunday and confined in the lookup here pending his removal to Sacket's liar bor. Last night he made desperate at- tempt to get out Some wood had been left near the stove in the large room of the lookup and the prisoner had not been confined in a cell. Notwithstanding the sweltering heat he must have worked all night with hot fire in the room. He had torn off one of the bars to the cell doors and by heating that and the stove poker he had managed to burn out nearly every screw in the three hinges on the door. Part of the woodwork on one side of the door was torn off, and the mortar and stones displaced. The big bolt which holds the staple holding the bar on the outside door was nearly burnt out. Two hours more work would have given the prisoner liberty.
 Steele was taken to Sacket's Harbor this morning. He will be tried before court martial and then probably sent to Fort Leavenworth, Kan, to serve out sentence at labor on Government works.
