Dan Crawford. It appears, however, that the policeman in question, who is also the city lamplighter, Mr. Charles Castle, in nursing his wrath was more and more incited. Tbe jokes of the rest, of the force and of many acquaintances doubtless added fuel to the flame so that by yesterday morning he rfbpears to have been unable to control himself. (Cahr.

F. B. Lloyd, the local editor of The Times, Went to Mayor's Court as usual, to report its proceedings. When he had obtained what information he wished, the court, however, being yet in session, he passed out to the stairway leading to the street. At the landing, at the head of the stairs, be was accosted by Castle, who asked some questions in relation to the hem, concluding with a warning threat not to allude to him in such a way again and accompanying it with an insulting oath.

Mr. Lloyd had been perieftly cool, and had answered Qaafle'a inquiries as quietly and inoffensively possible, but upon bearing the insulting oath he, in a manly way, instantly struck Castle in tbe mouth. The landing opens into the turnkeys room, wild several policemen were standing within a few feet of Messrs. Lloyd and Castle. They instantly interfered, and prevented exchange of blows.

This was probably fortunate for Mr. Lloyds imme-diatebenefit, for he is a slightly built, delicate man, while his opponent was burly and strong. Mr. Lloyd had afted most gallantly and could do nothing more. Castle swore out a warrant against Mr.

Lloyd, charging him with assault and battery. The Marshal notified Mr. Lloyd to be at. Mayors Court this morning, and he left the Council1' Chamber. It will be observed that Castle is a policeman, for though employed primarily as city lamplighter, he is also vested with police powers to facilitate the discharge of his duties and to strengthen tbe force; that he had indicated dissatis-faftion with the item the day before; that he stopped Mr.

Lloyd on his way down stairs; that he threatened him and iftsult-ed him; that though an officer of the law to keep order, he provoked disorder, if he did not also contemplate disorder on Bis own part; that ttofc place chosen was the headquarters of order; that the time selefted was during a session of Mayors Court when His Honor was upon the bench apparent contempt of all these restraints. We state fafts as accurately and impartially es we possibly can, and leave the public to reach their own conclusions this morning. At nine oclock the case will come before the Mayor, and will in all probability be disposed of. Until after that time we refrain from further comment. Suffice it to say, a called meeting of the Council takes piece this afternoon at four oclock, to consider this matter probably as well as others.

The general inefficiency of the police department is becoming so manifest that there is serious discussion of the removal or suspension of the entire force. from Saturdays Daily. Capt. H. C.

I read with njuch surprise in The Times this morning the report of the grand jury touching my official conduct as Assessor. My enemies have been industriously at work, and are exulting in thetr success. Many of the charges against me are so trivial, that if true, they were suffered to pass without complaint when such acts were committed by niy predecessors.

I will not shrink from the investigation, and will meet all charges at the proper time to the disappointment of my foes and the gratification of my friends on March 8th, 1884. G. R. Mason. From Sunday's Daily.

Sims, or Brown, appeared here Friday morning and was first seen at tbe stores on the hill beyond the river. He was riding a mule which he offered for sale at $100. Failing to obtain his price, he lowered his figures until he finally offered the mute for $15. His extreme anxiety to make a sale excited suspicion, and he was reported to the authorities, arrested immediately and lodged in the city prison to await further dmrelopements. The mule was turned over to the care of Mr.

Marcus Meyer, and is still at his ltvery stable. The prisoners conflicting statements have given him away, so to speak, and it is now plainly evident that he is a thief. He first gave his name as Nathan Brown and afterwards styled himself Washington Sims. He claims that the mule was the property of his father, and that he took the beast because his father was indebted to him. He admits that he took the mule from his fathers lot at night about a week ago, and alleges that he held a claim on the property.

The suspicious Washington will be held in custody until definite information can be obtained. The imprisoned thief is a mediumsized negro a peg leg and a rascally countenance. Circumstances are decidedly against him, and positive proof will probably appear to bear out all suspicions. From Tuesday's Daily. Mad Dogs.

A great deal of excitement has been rife in the Pleasant Hill neighborhood for tbe past few days on the subject of mad dogs. Sometime since a mad dog, showing signs of hydrophobia, visited the plantation of Mr. George B. Fail, which entered his kennel and immediately began to fight the occupants. The mad dog was ultimately whipped, but in the fight it bit several of Mr.

Fails hounds and a pointer. On last Saturday the pointer was killed, having for several days shown symptoms 01 hydrophobia. Several fox hounds were killed after becoming mad, but ther pointer was a very fine dog and its ownei; deferred killing it as long as possible. The strange dog escaped after the row, and has not been killed since, but is supposed to be roving through the country scattering its terrible disease. A close lookout should be kept, and any animal affected with hydrophobia should be killed instantly, as the lives of men, women and children are endangered by the existence of maddened animals.

Hitherto its presence was welcomed, now it brings the worst apprehensions. Cold weather now can nave no substantial effect on the flood that bos about done its worst, but with cold weather the imprisoned people in all the towns and cities along the Ohio would suffer terribly for lack of fuel. Few realize the difficulty of etting supplies delivered.

About eleven oclock Tuesday night the wind came up from the southwest on a big bluster, and tor a while it seemed as though a thoroughbred cyclone had struck our peaceful city. The wind did tailing work in this yicinity, though as yet we have learned of no very serious results. The residence of Mr.

A cabin in East Selma, occupied by negroes, was unroofed, without any injury, however, to the inmates. A good many trees were blown down about the city, so that several street hands were sent out yesterday morning to clear the streets of any obstructions.

Many signs were displaced, scattered and broken about the city. We trust there were no more serious results through the surrounding country. Colporteur Brownings Work- Editor Times By the request of some I will give you a short statement of my labors as Bible and Traft Colporteur of the county from July 1st to Jan. 1st. My labors have been principally in the western and southern part of the county.

In places I found the destitution of the Word great with both white and black. In many places the whites have no free schools, no Sabbath schools, no preaching.

There has just been finished at the foundry in this city of the Henry Bon nard Bronze-Manufacturing Company the colossal bronze statue of General Robert E.

Lee, modelled by Alexander Doyle, to surmount the granite column in Tivoli Circle, New Orleans, which will hereafter be called Lee Circle. The statue, which is a creditable work, is the largest one ever cast in this country. It is fifteen feet and seven inches high and weighs 4,237 pounds. The sword alone is eight feet and six inches long. The column of granite is ninety-six feet high.

The statue will be shipped to New Orleans tomorrow by a vessel of the Morgan line. The sculptor has presented his subjeft in a simple pose, standing with arms crossed and iooking straight ahead of him as if contemplating a possible battlefield. He is clad in the undress uniform of a Confederate general with a slouch I hat, double breasted frock coat buttoned up, cavalry boots and spurs and gauntlets. There is decision in the modelling and expression of the face, the pose with the left foot advanced, the toe of the boot p-ojefting over the circular plinth is good, and the modelling in general is broad and simple, as is demanded by the height at which the work will be seen. It seems to us, however, that the hat might have been more pifturesque, and tnat the gauntlets are too prominent.

The general treatment also is rather prosaic and lacks somewhat in artistic feeling. But, on the other hand, the effeft of a more decorative handling woqjd be almost, if not entirely, lost in the elevated position the statue is to occupy. Mich.

In tbe item in yesterday mornings issue about A Peculiarity of the Cadden Case, there was a slight inaccuracy. It was stated "that he (Bozeman) did not know why he had not seen it before, "it referring to the absurdity of the actual measurement as compared with the math ematical possibility upon tbe data of the field notes.

Solicitors Pitts and Waller confirm Mr. Bozemans statement, that he testified that he had seen the inconsistency before. Mr. Bozeman in conversation last night stated that he merely ran the line, that the negro chain-bearers did the measuring; that his certificate to Mr. Cadden merely avers that the distance was over seven miles by the chainbearers measurements; that he quickly discovered the impossibility of the measurements correctness and so told people.

We had no desire to misrepresent Mr. Bozeman, and publish these statements of his for the complete understanding of the matter. The case will now be entirely comprehended, we Fill oosuR.MdwJ Galveston. Norfolk. Baltimore.

No office having emolument attached can be conferred by the Crown on a member without bis thereby vacating his seat.and it is only by obtain ing an office that a member can rid himself of the duties which any body of constituents may impose upon him, even against his will. The Crown, therefore, for the convenience of the House, is always willing to confer on any member the stewardship of Her Majesty's Chiltem Hundreds, the stewardship of the Manor of Poynings, of East Hundred, and the Northstead or Escheatership of Munster, sinecures which he continues to hold till some other member solicits a similar ac-ipdation, I wish I was a his own poetic fancy.
