i' • ' DARN-BRNING 'CASE. •
JereniiahStelley, Jr., waSarraigned upon
an' indictment cha ging him with unlaw
fully and maliciously burning a barn and
1 .
stable, the property pi*, Daniel Risher,. and
partly occupied by 'Joseph Wilson, on
Streetsßun, tri 'Baldwin lownShip, on the
night of the 18th Of March last, between ten
and eleven o'clock. The case was in the
oYer:lirid.Terinitier, but defendant's coun
sel waived arraignment in the regular
form. The fire took place between nine and
ten 'o l Olook,' mid' together with the barn a
horse and buggy and other property was
destroyed.
1- The evidence adduced by the Common
wealth was in substance, that on the, night
of tbe 23d of March, one week after the
burning, the defendant was discovered in
the road, about two hundred yards from
the'slte of the barn, intoxicated, having ap
parently fallen from his horse. The per
sons whe discovered him were' David Ja
cobs, John Davis, William Giles and Jas.
Brown. The • defendant appeared not to
know where he was, and made some in
quiries. Atter some conyersation t and
without the subject having been intro
duced, defendant remarked- that be "had
burned-Joe Wilson's barn and would do
more." The five persons who discovered
him swore positively to his hating made
this expression. The case of the Common
wealth rested solely on the declaration of
'defendant. ,
For the dbfence Samuel Chamberlain and
Joseph Phillips testified they saw defend
ant about sundown on the evening of the
36th of March, at Gill Hall Postotlice, Jef
ferson township, going in the direction of
his home, about half a mile distant. Gill
Hall is about seven miles from the scene of
the fire. John Wilson testified he was
with defendant at his (defendant's) house
on the evening of the 16th of March, from
after dark until after nine o'clock. Other

Kna very.
Ryan's Court, Virgin alley, Third ward,
according to the assertions of Mrs. Adelina
Nave, has been the scene of sonic knavish
operations within the last few days. Mrs.
Nave called on Alderman Strain, yester
day and naively related the circumstances
altendingthe knavery. From Mrs. Nave's
statements and allegations it is to be in
ferred that she had a slight misunderstand
ing with her next. neighbors, Mr. Edward
and Mrs. Joanna Dickey, - which caused a
slight"unpleasantness" of feeling between
them, and finally culminated in a\ row of
pretty fair 5, proportions. It is alleged
that Joanna acted in a ver y dis
orderly manner, by giving her enemy
a pretty - severe tongue lashing, and that
Mr. Dickey, po doilbt 11i ,emulation Lof his
wife's zeal, endtavored to manifest hiiaboa-
Ltle feeUngs against the parent by Seizing
the son of the Mutual foe, and indulging
in the exhilerating exercise of beating the•
little. Nave to his heart's content. It Is
furthei alleged that at this juncture
another Nave appeared, in the •person of
Nave, wbo, for some unaccountable
reason, took aides against Mrs. Nave and
made divers! fierce threats against the
,lady, wit - Ming up by drenching her with
the eoritente`of a fhlr water , bucket. This
last flank movement completely routed
Mrs. Nave, and she retired discomfited
from the field of physical force, but only
• to try her (Ortiz - nes in the field of law. • In
pursuance of this design, she yesterday
lodged informations against Mr. and Mrs.
Dickey for disorderly conduct, and as4ault
and battel7,lollowing these up with two
other informations against Mr. Nave for
surety of the peace and assault and battery.
The Dickeys were arrested and gave bail
for a hearing, Nit Mr. Nave has not yet
been discovered. It IS hoped, however,
that the officers will soon secure the Nave
that this naive contest may be decided.
Manufacturers' Convention.

The: convention, instead of establishing
new rates, re-affirined those established in

, The 11rutal,Outrage.
Wthave been requested by His Honor,
Mayor Blacitmore, to correct :a statement
made in our report of the brutal arrest of
Mrs. Dr. Deice,. under that most infamous
and unexplainable order relating to the
arrest of unoffending females after "certain
hours," which he says does him great in
justice. Having alwayi entertained the
highest.regard for Mr..BlaCkmore as a citi
zen, we of course can have no hesitancy
whatever in making the desired correction,
as we have no desire to do him injustice,
the opinion of Mr. Snowden, Notary Public,
Associated Press Agent, Mayor's Clerk and
Legal Adviser, to the contrary notwith
standing.
The matter objected to by the Mayor
was the statement that a poor, but respect
able girl been arrested under that no
torious order and kept in the lock-up all
night. His Honor informs us that the girl
did not remain there ten minutes, that she
was released and sent home in charge of
the officer referred to. With nll due defer
ence to his official rank; we are compelled
to differ with him as to the tirne - the poor
friendless girl v,as kept in "durance vile,"
as we can fully establish the fact that she
was there a much longer time; but it mat-
ters net whether sbe was there ten minutes
or ten hours, the 'fact that she was there,
'and that the Mayer knew she had been ar
rested by one of his officers, under an order
:which 'he:now repudiates, is not denied.
He s knew the officer who made the arrest.
, and be evidentl3rk new that the unprotected
bad • committed no offense warranting._ I
the arrest, otherwise he would not have or
dered her to,be released and sent home; yet
the officer who arrested that girl, who, by
the way,'ls one of the most intelligent and
reliable map on the , foret), was not dis
charged but is still doing duty; It is - rea-
Boilable to suppose that Mayor Blackmore
would not retain, a' man 'on - the police
force, who, in violation of all law, and
witheutortlers from his superior fficer,
would arrest an inoffensive, harmleqs, girl,
and dtai her 011ie lock-up? And is it, at
all probable that. Captain -teed, or a
Lieutenant of the watch, would asssittne
the• responsibility. of giving' such an
order as the: one under- which 'the
arrest, was made? ...We..think' not.
How different was his conduct toward the
officer who arrested Mrs . . Dake,' and toward
Williams also,,whom the Mayor
Said had done nothing but his duty in ren- -
dering assistance to his brother officer when
called upon. Both were dismissed from
the force. Was not the offense of the one as
censurable as the. other? or does the fact
that one being poor and friendless, and the
other wealthy,, have any bearing in the*
matter? We leave these questions for his
Honor to answer.
