 A BUSTED MONOPOLY. - The combination formed unlaWfully by the saloons of the city in restraint of the satisfaction of thirst, is beginning to go to pieces. Three of the saloons which had entered into the unholy agreement to advance the price of beer to ten cents, have broken away and are selling it at the old familiar figure of five cents. They claim that five cents was the limit of the trade within their several jurisdictions. These sa- looms are on the outskirts but that is where everything that goes to pieces begins to disintegrate
 LOSS OF JEWELRY.-A lady who was driving yesterday between Brills addition and the corner of Fifth av- enue and Jefferson street. had the mis- fortune to lose a hand bag that con- tained quite a number of pieces of jewelry. The jewelry itself is of con- siderable money value, but coupled with it is a sentimental value of greater importance to the owner than the worth of the trinkets. as the pieces were all gifts. The hand bag is made of monkey skin and is stamped in Jap anese figures, the bag closing with a draw cord. The following articles were in it: A red ring box. stamped with the name of George H. Cook, com taining four rings. a large diamond solitaire, a ring mounted with three small diamonds, set in a straight row. a diamond and emerald ring and an opal ring; in another box also stamped with the name of George H. Cook, was a round gold pin with a diamond set in the center, and to which pin was at tached a fine gold chain designed to go around the neck. Besides these jewel boxes the bag contained a small | skin purse in which there | was a five dollar bill, a Mexican dol 1 lar and probably some small change. A 1 liberal reward will be paid for the return of these things or any part of | them, to, The Republican office, or for l information that will lead to their re- covery.

He had endeavored to charm he passersby like the siren. with tune 'ul melodies. blown on a harmonica commonly called French harp. The | justice did not think that the quality ,f tie music in any measure mitigated | he Dffense, rather it in a degree made he misdemeanor more unforgivable |, Therefore Christian was sent to jail Or 10 days. It is probable that he will ,e brought into the probate court to- lay or before his sentence expires and lis mental condition tested. There
