Cuantes De Vitiiers Baavvonr alias Mons. Avevstus Detarogus.— Yesterday, @ good-looking, polite Frenchman called at the ik and harness manufactory of Mr. H.S_ Johnson, south side Pa. avenue, oppo- site the National Hotel, and purchased a set of Sarnets and a small trunk, which be ordered to de tent at once to the following address: “Au, tax Beaufort, No. 401 Sixth st? Hesaia he had Toots at the above-mentioned house, and would Pay for the goods when delivered. The harness was packed in the trunk, and a young man sent with it to the above address. Mr. Augustus Beaufort was there, waiting for the things, and on delivery handed the messenger a check on Riggs & Co. for the amount—826. The boy left the articles and went immediately to eke ing house of Riggs & Co. and presented check. The teller looked at it and shook bis head, saving briefly, “No good” The boy hastened beck t Shenae informed bi: . Jobn- Seca immediately sought the assistance of Defect- Partevlare of the etn ‘ulars of the affair. The officer at once sus- pected a Mr. Charles De Villi whom he bad tiealt with before in connecttou with certain trans- actions, aod took bis mesures accordingly. Pro- ceeding to 401 Sixth st., he ascertain: B Beaufort had left, and taken the trank with him; he also learned that the man hed only just en- #2ged roows with the good lady at 401, and sus- ted, therefore, that he did not intend to retarn. After « short search he found the hackman who had conveyed Mr. Beaufort from a point on Sev- ‘eoth street near the Northern Market to a point on Pennsylvanta avenue near Four-and- street. treceeding at once toa house at the southwest corner of Four-and-a-half street an@ Pennsylvania enue, be searched it, but found not his man. ‘coming out be discovered a man on the pavement front of the house in the act of hoisting a sinall UVunk on to bis shoulder. Officer Boss walked up to bim and tap him on the shoulder. The Frenchman turned around, and Mr. Chas. DeVil- liers stood revealed. He was taken to the guard- bouse and searched. Among his papers was a receipt from Mr. Stinemetz, itter, on Pennsyl- ‘venia avenue, between Twelfth and Thirteenth poeoen for = fora set of furs which ego larogue purchased of that dealer the before. Mr. Boss went to Mr. Stinemetz and qnestioned him. It seems that M. Augustus De- Aarogne had purchased a set of furs for $35 from M.S. the day before, end had paid bim with a “check on Rigos& Co. Mr. S. ti joug ht the trans- action a legitimate one on M. Delaroque’s side, end bad fered ype erg’ his check at bank, taking it for granted that when he did so it would be duly Eoncred. He now learned that Mors A. Delaroque ‘was quite a different sort of person from wkat he bad sup; Mr. Boss went toa pawa- “soker’s and found the set of furs, which M. De- *aroque had pwned for the sum of 85. The pawnbroker gave them up instantly, and they Were at once returned to Mr. S Mr Charles DeVilliers, with the two aliases, ‘was then tried before the Chief of Police ona vberge of obtaining goods under false Pretenses, and fully commitied to jail for trial at the next of the criminal court. ‘This moraing, Mr. Stinemetz sent M.

P Cotz’s Restavrant, th the Sixth Ward, picked up some hard customers the otber day. A very good-looking woman, who had just returned to the busy world after a somewhat i ¥ Beaton of retirement at Queensville, en- tered the place and demanded wherewith to taise her drooping spirits, but the bat-Reeper politely refused to comply; wheteupon she went out in great rage, and with ber fists attacked the front window in so energetic a manner that before the man could interpose there was not an unbroken pane left therein. Great was the bar-keeper’s in- dtgnation, but his wrath was mild compared with that of the goed-looking woman a few minutes subsequently, when Justice Cull adjudged her worthy of another ninety days? residence at her late rural home on the picturesque banks of the Anacostia. Mr. Cole’s barkeeper. seeing the lady thus dis- posed of, left the magisttate’s office highly satis- fied, but he had been gone but a very short time before bt returned in a greater rage than ever, holding tight by the collar a lazy looking fellow, who, wait he had been engaged at the office in testifying against the woman, had entered the restaur:nt and disposed of # dollar's of oysters and drinks and refused to pay for them. The fellow finding bit ih the presence of the law jed to be excused, saving he would pay. He was let g6 upon his promise, and it was then discovered that he had only a five cent piece peeve to Uquidate. The barkeeper let him le. While the barkeeper was en; with this last customer, lo! anotber one of the same sort had been to the restaurant and ee ee the good en (for let the reader know that keeps good things) spree upon the counter, and flatly refased to pay. ir. Cole's barkeeper, in- censed beyond endurance, seized the fellow’s hat, which he held aggecurity until it was replevined by 2 policeman,"who was compelled to Interfere in order to stave off a big fight that threatened to gtow out of the transaction. ‘Tue Exrrosion at THE Fring Yeeterpay.—A city paper, in giving an account of the fire yester- day, erred in Yin the water registrar the victim of the as explosion. The water tapper, Mr. 4. L. Gettier, was the sufferer. The factsare, that the tapper seeing the Perseverance Fire Com- pany approaching called them to the four-way plug at F and Thirteenth streets. The boxes around those plugs are always more of less filled with gas or foul air. While the tappeét was lean- ing over the plug in the Act of opening it, a per- son foolishly a ched with a large lantern and put it In the box to give light to the tapper. The explosion was instantaneous, and a blaze issued from the box illuminating the whole street. The tern was blown aw: distance of a square, and with it the tapper’s eyebrows, moustache, a tion of bis whiskers. and patches of skin from ishandsand nose. The lantern man ran off, yelling “* Oh, Lord !”” while the tapper, indignant at the spollation of bimeelf, ye! after himn to come back with bis moustache. A gentleman standing by, noticing the conduct of the Angee attache of the water department, re: ed «Hear that man ! he thinks more of bis moustache than hishead.” The P pesromisgeer re all be repaired in the course of nature, without expense to the corporation, and will call for no action by the drainage committee. Tue Zovaves.—This poepeeys recently orga nized for the pur; of being attached to the Washington Light Infantry, beld their second meeting at Thorn’s Buliding last night. The roll has already been signed by 45 membets. They adopted a constitution similar to that of the In- fantry, and elected for ‘Treasurer, Mr. Crowley; for Secretary, R Betts; and Frsllgpenageone aria Mr. Irving. The committee on uniform su mitted a report; which was adopted. The uni- form is the full Zouave, save in the colors which are to be made to conform to those of the Infantry Battalion. The company meet again Thursday nght next. Tue Exnisition of the Sabbath School (Mr. Geo.W. Garret superintendent) of Gorsuch Chapel at Ryland Chapel on last evening ‘was quitea suc- cess. The youthful orators acquitted themselves handsomely, and the singing by the children de- lighted the large assemblaye. We understand that the exhibition will be repeated shortly During the evening the Rev. Mr. Combs, Rev. Mr. Lemon and R. Thompson, Esq., were com- plimented by receiving handsome presents from the children.
