About 5 o'clock this morning Ollicer McDon- ougb, ot the Eighteenth district, observed at the cornerof luchuiond and Huntingdon streets three men, who were secretly engaged in count ing some money, ire ollicer quietly withdrew for a while, and secured the assistance of O ul cers McDonald and Rotan. The three officials then made a break for the money-changers and captured tnem. l bey were taken to tha station- house, and two of them gave the names of John Glenn and Arthur McUonnell. The name of the third party taken into cus tody ie not given, becanse at the hearing before Alderman Neall it was discovered he was in no way connected with the other two, that he had come np a few minutes previously, and was curiously watching tne pair, lust as tne nicer did in the first place. Shortly after the prisoners bad been locked up in the cell a man named Hern entered. He stated that he is a boatman, that he had been attacked, knocked down, and robbed of a'pocket-book containing $128 and a number of bills of ladlnsr. The prisoners were immediately trotted out of the cell, and Mr. Kern recognized them as the parties who Dad plundered mm. McUon nell had previously been searched, and In his possession was found a pocket-book, a pair of steel knuckles, and a large lever scale such as is used by butchers. This article, It is supposed, he carried with him to be used as aa offensive wea pon. The pocket-book was shown to Mr. Kern, and he identified it as bis property. All the money was recovered and handed over to its owner. The prisoners, as stated, were before Alderman rseaii, and were each placed in sw ball. A Youth witu a Straight FLUsn of Money. On Saturday last a lad named Joshua Lumley, recently set free from the House of Reluge, was arrested in t ran mora on a warrant which bad been issued by Alderman Castor, based onUhe following facts: Lumley has no visible means of support, ana yet lately it has been observed that he had no lack of money In his possession, and the whieh also he spent with a liberal hand. He bought two horses and wagons and was otherwise prodigal In his ex penditures. He was arrested as before stated. and in his pocket was found a balance of $39. When asked to explain as to the manner he acquired the cash he made many contradictory statements, one of which was the rather absurd story to the effect that he had been in New York and found while there a pocket-book containing i;yi lying on the sidewalk, lue alderman has held him for a further hearing, as it is supposed that the boy has stolen the cash from, some of the neighbors. A Man Blackjacked at Broad and Wash- incton Streets' Suddenly, at midnight on Saturday last a man was blackjacked at Broad aud Washington streets. Oflicer McVeagh ob served the transaction, and be gave chase to the assailant, who ran into an aii-nignt nouse. through into the yard, followed at the heels by the policeman. 1 ne ienow triea to mane use oi the fence, but be was not quick enough, and he was captured, ine omcer marched aim out. but he had proceeded no further with his charge than a couple oi pavements from tne tavern when suddenly two men ran out of the drinkery, attacked the policeman, and beat him badly. In tne meiee tne prisoner escaped, oat tne two assailants were arrested by reason of assistance having arrived. When taken to the lock-up they gave the names of George Allen and Henry Dietrich. Alderman Dallas held each in ball. Young Robbers. At daylight on Saturday morning some of the Franktord police found in a confectionery store, on the Bribtol pike, four boys who were working away, carrying out goods as if they intended to entirely strip the place of its sweet contents. They were taken in custody and gave the names of Cassiday, While, Bender, and LUllot. Alderman Stearne held eacn in vouu oau. Seventh district, yesterday, at Hancock and w , a J T V. I ... L.

We present this morning for public admlra- tlou the mines of a number of those flowers of chivalry known as wife-beaters swaggering bullies, wno woum run a mne lrom a boy, but who. with a brutalitvooly born of craven hearts. maltreat only those from whom thev can fear no return. The first case la that of Lorralue Norton, who resides at No. 8 Newklrk street, and who beat his wife yenerdav, and has been held in ?0U0 ball by Alderman Neall. The next ctif tomer is Mr. John Finr, and whose domicile is at No. 29 Lehigh avenue. He maltreate:l his wife in a shameful manner vesierdav. Alder man Neall held Mm in $TU0 bail. Alderman Dallas has bad the pleasure of re quiring George Springfield, ot No. 1505 Ells worth street, to enter bail lu f 500 for the same offense. Serceant Gilchrist yeterday went Into the house of Henry Zimmerman, living at No. 51 China street, and dragged that individual to the station-houso for beating bis wife. This man Zimmerman bad a knife, and he threatened to cut his own throat, and really, had he carried this threat into effect, would civilized society be much of a loser in consequence ? Alderman Cabill neld Almmerman in 9rXX) bail. The last ense which claims esDecial mention is that of Dennis Hays, who lives on Second street, below Berks. On Saturday night this man was beastly arung. in a tavern near nis bouse. His wife weut in search of and found him fast asleep, lying on the broad of his back on the floor. She removed his pocket-book, knowing it contained a considerable amount of money. When be got awake he demanded the return of his cash, and the request being dis puted, be brutally strnck.her a powerful blow in the face, cutting a cruel wound of about three inches on her right cheek. He strnck her a second time and cut her lip badly. He was ar rested and Alderman Ileitis held him in $1500 bail. Kensington M. E. 8abbath School cele brated yesterday their fiftieth anslversary. The church had been handsomely decorated. Occu pying the pulpit recess was "a large cross with the word "Jesus, ana over the end gallery an arch with a sun, and the wards "The ligat of the world," and over the side galleries the words "Upward, onward; all of gas lects, which are to be illuminated as one of the attractions of their jubilee concert this evening. From the centre of the ceiling were suspended wreaths of evcrereen end a beautiful basket of flowers with the figures 50. The church was filled morning, noon, and night. The afternoon service was peculiarly beautiful and interesting. Over 1200 cnlklren ot Biioatn and Kensington schools occu pied the lower floor, and the galleries were crowned, as well as the vestibules, with friends of the schools. The singing was not to he sur passed. Rene Gnlllou and Thomas W. Price. Esqs., made moet excellent addresses. The morning service, at which Dr. Kynett preached an appropriate sermon, ana tne evening ser vice, at which snort addresses were delivered by Rev. A. K. Street and other old scholars of the schools, were both occasions of much in terest, l he whole exercises were a grand suc cess, and win not soon lade away from the memory or thofe who participated In them. A Pitched Battle with Corner-Loungers. Officers Baker and Connell. of the Seventh district, nad a battle witn lour corner-loungers at lork avenue and Callowhill street. Ibe o ra cers told the men to leave, and the reply of the men was that they would not. An attempt was made to arrest tnem, ana this started a uveiy fiirht. They battered each other witn consider able vigor, and for a considerable time, but at last, assistance arriving, the officers of the law trinmphed, and the four malcontents were se curely Doused in tne station-nouse. i ney were heard by Alderman Toiand, and were each placed nnder bail. Their names are John McQuade, John Mulligan, Walter Clary, and William Green. A Lady Struck by a Drunken Man. Two drunken men, named Felix Conner and John Duffy, were yesterday afternoon standing on the corner of Fourth and Thompson streets. Two ladies who were on their way to chureh passed at the time, and the drunken men thought It a fit opportunity to have a bit of fun. Duffy de liberately went ud to one of the ladies and hit her a powerful blow in the face, and Conner stood by and enjoyed the transaction as it it was one of the best jokes of the season. Officers McGucken and Devlin, of the Tenth district, did not see the matter in this light, and they marched the practical jokers off to the station- honse. Alderman Shoemaker placed Conner in f ouo bail ana Duuy in iiuw. . A Child Run Over by a Milk Wagon. The driver of a milk wagon, named John Henry, urged his horse at a furious rate of speed at Eighteenth ana Christian streets yesterday. A child who was crossing at the time was knocked down and ran over, the wheels of the vehicle passing over its body. Every one thought the child had been killed, but when it was picked up it was lound, strange to say, much bruised but not serionsly injured. The driver of the wagon was arrested ana taken before Alderman Dallas. He was neld to ball for a farther bear ing to await the result of the injuries in flicted. All Drunk. Edward Cox. Robert Sink. John Taylor and William Brown are the names of four men who hired a wagon yesterday, and became fearfully intoxicated. In this condi tion they drove down Cambridge street at a fu rious rate and destructive tendency, une ot the men was leaning back with his arm on the wheel, and they were all shouting with drunken delight. At Third and Bainbridge street the horse, well-nigh exhausted, was stopped, ana the four men taken into custody for crnelty to animals, riotous benavior, and reckless driving;. Alderman Lutz committed taem. Daring Act op a Thief Last night a thief named Jerome Wood snatched a watch and chain from the pocket of a man at Eleventh and Filbert streets, ana ran ott witn it, pursued by the usual crowd, who were lustily yelling "stop thief.

A SINGULAR CASE' A Young Man Arrested on the Eve of III Wedding at the Instigation or Ills Father, .Who Charge Illiu With For gery. The irate father referred to is Mr. Charles Moran, a real estate agent and collector of rents. His son, Mr. M. V. Moran, a man of twenty-five or twenty-six years of age, has long Deen engaged to aiiss Annie xvers, a Deauiuui and accomplished young lady. The father and mother of Mr. Moran bitterly opposed the mar riage upon the ground, it Is said, that Mr. Moran and Miss Ivers both suffered from lung complaint. The lady and her Irlends earnestly protested that her lungs were in excellent con dition, and Mr. Moran was of the opinion that his lungs were equal to any ne nad ever bad, and plenty good enough to enter matrimony with. Being of lawful age, sound mind, and considerable spirit, he determined to marry tne object of bis choice in spite of parental opposi tion, and sagely remarked that it was hi wed ding and not bis father's. ight before last the young couple started for church with the intention of making such reli gious preparation as is usual in tne Catholic Church prior to a wedding. nue on toe steps of the sacred edifice the young man was taken into custody on a charge oi lorgery preferred by bis father. The young lady did not shriek or faint, as was reported, but being endowed witn strong nerves and a stronger love ior the man she was about to marry, accepted the situa tion with philosophy, satisfied that her lover's character would not sufler by the accusation. She returned home with her friends, while Mr. Moran was conducted to the third District Station-house and locked up for the night. Yes terday morning Mr. Moran, Sr., visited him, and after a short conversation withdrew the charge. The weddmr was not deterred, but was solem nized at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and the natr are now as naDDV as it is Dossinia ior tnem to be under the adverse circumstances encoun- tered in their endeavors to become one. The brideeroom. it appears, bad been em ployed in bis father's office as cashier and -business manager, and it had been customary with Mr. Moran, Sr., to sign blank checks, which bis son filled np for any amount needed In busi ness transactions. Moran. Sr.. bad refused to advance the money needed by bis son for the expenses of the wed ding, and the latter having, ad claimed, 1350 due bim as salary, niied up a cnecx ior tne amount and drew it at the bank., The transac tion, as claimed by his freinds, appears to have been legitimate, and his father's action seems to have been the result of undue excitement.

THE FLOOD AT KJKW ORLEANS. .Latest Mall Accounts. From the Ktu OrUan I'wayunt, June 6. We are tiow almost realizing the spectacle of a submerged city. By far more than one-half of the town lsuuderwater, and the rising waters, with a stealtbv, cat-like advance, are coming in every direction. Citizens are flying from their homes and thousands of families are to-day shelterless and without food. From Rampart street to the woods, from Julia street to the lake a scarcely uninterrupted flood extends. The canals, from whose affluent waters came the first menacing peril, have themselves disap peared in the lake-like sheet that spreads in every direction. The strong wind from the late still brings fresh material to swell the rising tide, and property and life are alike being saciltlce to the treacherous and subtle eleuictt. Since 7 o'clock Sunday evening the water has risen at the rate of twelve inches in twelve hours. It now floods Canal street to Dryades street, and on common street the water extend u Mm part. In the angle of the city formed by the Old Basin, Claiborne street, and Elyslan I lelds street, mere is but little water; only sucn, in deed, as arise, from verflowed sewers. But be tween Elyslan Fields street and Lafarette ave nue, and far beyond Florida walk, the flood ex tends uninterruptedly to a vast lake a imma ture sea. Nor does it stop here, but covers all the vsst area be'.ow Canal street from Bayou 8U John to Jourdan avenue, and from Uagan ave nue np Poydras to Rampart street. Nearly every homestead in this wide extent is sur rounded by water. Many families have left; but others will remain confined to their houses and suffering for food. It is true the charitably dis posed and the authorities are putting forth every exertion to minister to their necessities; but their facilities for transporting food are few, and many must suffer the greatest extremity before assistance can reach them. It was re ported yesterday evening that the water was slowly receding at Milnebnr; but this does not appear possible, in view ot the fact that it is rising elsewhere. The same volume of water that passes over the rear ot tne city would con tribute equally to a rise at the lake end. All of tne street cars beyond itampart street have stopped. The travel on this thoroughfare, how ever, will scarcely be affected, unless, indeed, It be those cars which run ont Esplanade street. The advance in this direction of course is not to thought of. In brief, this is the present condi tion of the flood. It Is hardly probable that It can remain so long, and by the time this in print tne remix may nave set in. towards noon there was an evident abatement in the rise, and towards nightfall the waters began receding. Nevertheless, it was very slowly. Among the noticeable Incidents connected with the flood are the exorbitant charges made by boatmen for removing persons and families. Absolutely dependent upon their kind offices, the poor people have to submit to any extortion they may choose to exact. Would it not be as well for the superintendent to detail police to prevent this sort of transactions? Robberies in the flooded district are numerous, and nearly every hour some complaint is made of those wretches who pray upon the unfortunate aud those in distress. It is to be hoped, however, that in a few days the flood will have entirely subsided. In the meantime efforts to assist those in affliction should be redoubled. N. Y. MONEY MARKET SATURDAY. From the K. T. Herald. The Oovernment bond market enjoyed rather more than its share or the dullness that was gene rally prevalent oa the Stock Exchange. It now goes on record that at one session of the Oovern ment department the past week not a single trans action occurred, and the presiding o Ulcer went through the call almost without Interruption, and then only when tne bidding or asking prices changed by a difference ef an eighth per cent. The market lias, however, a very llrm undertone, and sellers are not plentiful, while, as usual, the specu lative movement Is Inconsiderable. "The money market, aa compared with that of th8 preceding week, showed a faint Increase In activity, attributed to the demand for money among the wool growers. The only change, however, was a slight Increase In the uumber of transactions at four per cent, among the stock brokers, three per cent, being the average and general rate for the great majority of call loans. Prime commercial 'paper was scarce, the offerings having been absorbed earlier In the season, and was quoted at 44S per cent, discount. "foreign exchange declined, as a result of the more active demand for cash gold in speculative transactions, ano, once down, tailed to rally when cash gold became taster. The first-class bankers ask no)' for sixty-day sterling, and 110 for sight bills. 'The gold market was alternately weak and strong, according as the 'bull' clique kept or lost control of it. Kaj-ly In the week, when the first 'squeeze' frightened so many of the 'shorts' Into covering,' a portion of the clique, through timidity or through a miscalculation as to the effect to be produced by the Government sale ot gold, went ont of ' their gold, and the clique operations not only were embarrassed but threatened to g Into chaos. On Friday and baturday, however, a new deal was had. The scat tered elements of the combination were, It la said, got together again, the gold pnt Into a pool and a 'board of directors' ( !) appointed to give a central management to the 'bull' movement for the future and control it nntU the speculation should result la a profit to ;the various 'shareholders' In this freBhest and most unlqne enterprise In' the way of a joint stock company. On Saturday the market opened quiet, with sales alter nately at and 112 V, especially as cash gold was In better supply and cost a considera tion for carrying. Afterwards the rate became fiat for borrowing, and gold advanced to 112?;, whlca was the quotation at the formal closing of the board. Subsequent to banking hours a 'squeeze' on Monday was threatened, and borrowers paid 1-tt, 1-10, 8 32, and for the nse of gold until Tuesday morning, the cloning rates being B-82 bid for a small lot and V for half a million. Hereupon gold ad vanced to 11! ifi and closee at five o'elock 112k(ffl 112 9-16." . PHILADELPHIA STOCK EXCHANGE SALES. Reported by De Haven ft Bro., No. 40 8. Third street. SECOND BOARD. tlOOClty 68.
