INTRODUCTORY OVERTURE.
Criminal news is distressingly
dull in our city, owing partly to the
vigilance of our star-labeled watch
men of the night, and partly to a sort
of mutual agreement amongst the
regular visitors to His Honor’s Tem
ple of Justice to keep out of that
edifice until the overhauling and
renovations now underway are
thoroughly completed. This is cer
tainly very commendable in our
municipal criminals, for they, seem to
have no desire whatever to crowd
Mr. John Butler’s artists, who are
flow engaged in putting the several
rooms in the bastile in a condition
that cannot fail to please the most
fastidious criminals, who seek repose
within its walls, or who have to listen
to Captain Jack’s old song of “$5 and
costs.” His Honor has not as yet
had that song set to music, but it
often proves a fearful set back to the
unfortunates who cannot respond
with the requisite price of freedom.
But to business.
“Captain Philopena Mclntosh.
Please’, sir, step this way.”
“Yes, sah, I’se hear, sah.”
And Captain Philopena’s dark
countenance was o’ershadowed with
a cast of gloom, which bespoke re
pentance from the top of his head to
the sole of his feet. It seems that
Philopena told a colored brother,
who is in his employ, to go and at
tend to something, which order was
obeyed with such slow alacrity that
it excited Philopena’s wrath, and he
lit into him with a boisterous bunch
of adjectives that was truly lamenta
ble. But Philopena won’t lament,
for he had $3, with which he settled
the case.
“Colonel Bob Ware.”
"Here, sir.”
“This way —stand round there.”
“What’s the charge against the
Colonel ?”
“Well, your Honor, he was drunk
and disorderly, and not considering
him a fit ornament for the streets of
our beautiful city I took him in.”
It would appear from the evidence
before the court that Colonel Bob
was determined to have one more
spree ere April flapped out and May
flapped in, and he succeeded in car
rying out his liquidating intentions
-in an admirable manner. It is real
strange that when our amiable citi
zens wan’t to go on a real gentle
spring spree they some how or other
run right into the arms of a police
man, as if their conscience troubled
them and prompted them to meander
always in the wrong direction. After
weighing well the evidence Mr. Ware
was fined $3 and costs ; $3 for the
drunk and 75 cents for “ware” and
tear of his constitution.
Thus endeth the sixth chapter of
the age of crime.
Straws tell which way the mint
julip goes, but you can’t always tell
which way the young man goes who
tries to carry an overdose of them.
n
The Masonic Fair.
To-night will close the twelfth day
of the Masonic Bazar and Fair, and
on next Monday the third week of
the exhibition will commence. Up
to the present time the hall has been
crowded nightly, but the interest of
the public continues unabated and it
is anticipated that the proceedings of
the coming week will quite eclipse
those which have already been wit-'
nessed. A large number of valuable
articles remain to be sold or raffled,
and large parties of visitors from
different portions of the State are ex
pected to attend. It is a source of
pride and gratification that the bazar
has been so well patronized and that
the prospects are so flattering.
Personal.
Col. Win. M. Wadley returned
from New York by the Gate City
this morning.
Capt. G. W. Hussey and Dr. F. Y.
Clark were also numbered among
the passengers by the Gate City.
Judge C. K. Brigham, of New
York; D. B. Merriman, of Baltimore,
and E. K. Kaine, of Boston, are
numbered among the arrivals at the
Screven House to-day.
Mr. J. B. Holst and wife leave for
New York on the steamship City of
Augusta, which sails .at 7 o'clock
this evening.
Mr. F. E. Southard, a prominent
lumber merchant of New York, is at
the Pulaski House. Colonel Edward
E. Vail,'proprietor of the St. Augus
tine Hotel, and Colonel F. R. Hol
lingsworth, of Chicago, representing
the largest liquor house in the Union,
are also at the Pulaski.
Sweets to the Sweet.
Some of our citizens seem to be
harboring the erroneous idea that
the old established candy and con
fectionery store 162 Broughton street,
once conducted by the late Mr. E.
Hernandez, has been closed since
the death of that good citizen. We
wish to correct that erroneous idea,
for Messrs. Isaiah M. Rosenfield &
Co., purchased the stock, Goodwill
fixtures, and every thing connected
with the establishirient several weeks
prior to Mr. Hernandez death, and
have had the place thoroughly reno
vated and fixed up in a neat and at
tractive style. They employ all of
the old workmen of the establish
ment and are now turning out pure
candies of all kinds fresh every day,
and are determined to maintain the
well earned reputation of that store
for offering first class goods at the
very lowest prices.
Almost a Fight.
Two Broughton street dry goods
clerks got into a dispute last Wed
nesday morning in regards a cer
tain matter. They threw words at
each other until their overworked
tongues cried out for “a rest,” but
blood was boiling, so it was mutually
agreed to meet that evening in the
Park extension and settle the differ
ence in any way that might be agreed
upon after reaching the battle
ground. Each man was to bring
just enough friends to ensure fair
play. One of the warriors was
promptly on- the ground at the ap
pointed hour with his friends. He
evidently meant business, but was
disappointed in his fond expectation,
as his opponent did not put in an ap
pearance, and the cause why history
fails to state, but we presume that
the heavy due had something to do
with it.

people was simply acknowledged by
thanks.
