Our readers will remember that some months ago George Seigrist, who was atone time the proprietor of the hotel at the cor , nor of Seventh avenue and 'Grant streets,, was charged with certain irregularities of conduct while acting as'agent for an Wir, once' company. • It was alleged that, when called upon to render an account of his stewardship, he was "short" several hun dred dollars: lie was arrested and i•equest ed the officer to wait until he should go and put, on his coat.

Rumor was busy yesterday, in circulating the story that a butcher, beautifully' illustrated with choice cuts, bad been discovered, and that the evidence of his guilt , was conclust.ve. It was told .tha t the butcher had inicle a dying declarei , tion that he was cut on the same night th bloody encounter took place,. not' b Davis, but while eugaged in defending hi own sausage shop from the ravages of hungry thief who had gained ingress. TI4 belied butcher , lived convenient ,to Mr. Davis, and, of course.. was much incensed that such a report should obtain, oironla. tion, for It was no pleasant thing to have aaidthat he - Waal"burglar and had bees cut by an acquaintance in such h serious man ner. There is no truth in _the story about the butcher, and we presume the wag who started the canard had - reference to;. the choice/cuts of beef adorning the hooks and pins of his shop; - ' In order to discover the truth - or falsity of the, story Just disposed of, we visited Birmihgham last night and Were -Informed by a responsible gentle Man of a quite dif ferent rumor which had reached his ears, whiCh may possibly mealy° itself into fact to-day and thus unravel what is now a mystery regarding the identity of the cut thief. * The story has , two parts. On the morning after the desperate encounter a 'Weak gild feeble man, with his bead tied up in a bundle of rags, and his hand clenching the lapel of his coat as though•stutling his inner shirt into a gaping wound, might have been seen ,tottering along the snove covered road leading to Brown's - coal works and other places on the Mononga hela river. He was not tottering alone, b.bwever i for two ; stalwart men, with . beq nevolent countenances _ and seedy clothes, ' supported him between, them, bearin him forward tenderly and kindlyl Out ' from a pretty, little snow cov ered . hut—all the little huts alon the Monongahela are pretty, in a story came a woman who, with a burst of inqui itiveness not peculiar to her flex, timidl inquired where the hum had been so badly handled. One of thelguides replied that he was a .. , r man 'just from the country, who had •- en to the city at a ball and sev• oral roughs had cut him out. The lady de. slated and made no more inquiry, as !ewes nigh breakfast time and she was afraid to detain the patient and his party, not that she was selfish, but that a'welk was a good thing for the wounded. So the first chap,. ter of the rumor closes. The sequel will disclose what became of the wounded p ‘ at. lent, but won't say_ anything about the coni cantons who rumer lost in looking aft the bora. At Beck's run on the eraont• - galtels river, with his face turned towurds the' heavens, his gory locks froson to the earth, all his wounds bound' together with blood ice and his feet dangling through a worm fence, our wounded friend turns up, if it is proper to ?key thata dead man can go :through that , gymnastic performance. So ends the story. •In out next edition we will learn how , much truth there is in the rumor, and we only hope that it may prove that a real burglar has been caught by the South Side police, for it would re. fleet much credit to their shrewdness and sagacity, qualities ; that- have hitherto ;been unappreciated by the citizens whose lives and property they-guaetf... • ..,' • ..--• '.; f i •: ..
