FIFTY YEARS AGO
IN THE STAR.

few weeks ago In this column was
printed a paragraph descriptive of a per-
sonal encounter on PENN
Greeiey-Hust sylvanaa avenue between
Affair Horace Greeley, editor of
the New York Tribune, and
Representative Rust OF Arkansas. growing
out of certain structures on the latter print
ed by Mr. Greeley in his newspaper. In The
Star OF March a. 1856. appears the follow
ing comment on the outcome Of that AFFAIR:
The grand jury for this county adjourn
ed finally on the day before yesterday. We
have every reason to believe that they did
not find an indictment against the Hon.
Albert Rust OF Arkansas on account of his
fracas with the Hon. Horace Greeley of
New York, ex-member of Congress and
editor of the Tribune. 1t Is we'll known
that Mr.. Greeley himself took no part in
bringing the affair to the notice of the
local authorities of this District 1t has
not been customary in this community for
sort. in which no bones are broken or seri-s
Gus bodily damage done, unless the indi-
ytdual feeling aggrieved himself asks that
1t shall be done Hence we presume the
failure of the grand jury to move in the
case at the request of some stranger in this
community not personally Involved in 1t.
We think that Mr.. Greeley exhibited excel
lent sense In refraining from asking the IN
dictment of his assaiant for an affair
which, we feel assured, never would have
transpired but for the misap prehension OF
his reply when first accosted by Mr.. Rust;
of the moment. that he (Mr. Greeley stood
ready 10 settle all such matters pretty
much as they are apt to be settled through
out the SOUTH

The old Long bridge is about to pass
away, having been replaced by a modern
structure of steel. 1t has
Long Bridge been subject of discus
Renairs sion and complaint for
many years. Even as far
back as 1856 # was regarded as nuisance
and menace to life and property. In The
Star of March %. that year. Is the sum-
mary of a debate which occurred in the
Senate the day previous. Senator Hunter
moved an appropriation for the repair of
the Long bridge. Says The Star:
He thought it would be act Of great
injustice to leave the bridge unrepaired
when roads had been made to connect with
1t. He denied that the filing up of the mud
fats was occasioned by the building of that
bridge. and exhibited a map to show that
these flats were causes of complaint as long
ago as 1880. If injury has been done to the
navigation it is by the citizens themselves
in connecting Analostan Island with the
mainland. Mr.. Brown considered it high
time to stop patching up the old bridge and
that any appropriation to repair such an
old rckety concern would be worse than
useless. 1t would stand there as disgrace
to the nation. Mr.. Pratt opposed the
amendment. Georgetown was the place OF
his childhood, and he could well recollect
the injury sustained by its commerce owing
to the erection of the bridge and the conse-
quent filing up of the channel. He could
well recollect when vessels of the largest
class came there to load with tobacco, and
what was now the fact? Why, that, yesse 8
of light draft only could approach their,
shores. The question was taken on the
amendment of Mr. Hunter and decided IN
the negative. as was IN amendment offered
by Mr.. Pratt appropriating 5000 fer the
repair of the Navy Yard and Eastern
Branch bridges"

WHAT, HO,BURCLARS,
Colonial Trust Alarm Brings Out
 Captain Bannon and His Gun.

There was big sensation or liar rison avenue and Leavenworth street this morning when Captain Bann0n of the police department vas seen rush ing through these thoroughfares with gun in his hand and a llirid glare ill his eye. Spectators stopped and look ed around expecting to see q fleeing criminal but not q soul was in sight and when the officer reached the cor Her of West Main and Leavenworth streets, he turned abruptly and rush. ed into the Colonial Trust company.
 Then tine wise acres shouted burglar and some went 50 far as to intimate that they had heard the noise of safe cracking there few minutes before While all this talk was going OH the. officer emerged from the bank wear ing bland smile which told plainly that there was nothing wrong.
 It was all q mistake, just the same it demonstrated what big risk one would run ill case he should try to tamper with any of our banking insti- tutions. Some of them have burglar alarms connected with the police sta tiOn and it doesn't make any differ ence what hour of the day or night they are touched off an officer will quickly appear in response to the notice.
 Through some mistake the pesky little thing went off this morning and Captain Ramon being holding down the desk in the station made wild rush for the bank while Superinten- dent Beach waited and watched fOl. his return with cell door djar ready to thrust the bold bad burglar behind the bars. When the superintendent and the captain found out that there was nothing wrong they shrugged their shoulders and expressed the hope that the papers wouldn't get held of it.
