T OF THE POLICE ON A DISREPU- TABLE HOUSE. Considerable gossip has been indulged in of late by citizens residing in the neighbor- hand N streets northwest in rela- tion to the character of a house on the corner of the streets named. It seems that Mr. Dan- iel Haggerty, an old and well known hack- man, ‘died se al months ago, leaving sev ral children. Two younger sons, Daniel and James, have since heen oceupying the house, keeping bachelors hall together. For the Past three months it seems there has been a crowd of rather fast boys and girls frequent- ing the house and their carousals, especially at nicht, have been noticed by the neighbors who have made complaint to the police. It is represented that several young girls resid- ing in this section of the city have been there, and that some of them have been sent to the house of the Good Shepherd in Balti- more by their parents for reformation. Last night these scenes were repeated, and Officer Peaster. doing duty hat beat, entered nel took into custody Daniel and James Hi Try ed respectively 20 and 14 yea: J.B. Cs 3. 17; John Norris, 20, and Title Donaldson, aged 17 years, and locked them up in the sixth precinct station. Norris and Tilly were up stairs together and the other ties were down stairs playing cards. This Incrning they were all at the Police Court. Daniel Haggerty was arraigned on the ecping a bawdy house.

Tilley is the daughter of re- spectable parents in’ Georgetown. He had freqnently seen bad characters of both sexes enter there. Officer Simonds testified to the same effect. Norris was called and testified that he was up stairs with Tilley. Til lestified that she went there last night b ypointment. It was the first time she as ever there. She was in the room with ris about hglf an hour when the police arrived. Counsel for Haggerty stated that they had no witnesses, and appealed to the merey of the court.

The article charges the pastor with gross Immor- ality. and says that he was being tried before a committee of the church, and that although the testimony elicited was so damaging as to create fears that the reverend gentleman would be lynehed, there was_nodoubt but that he would be acquitted. Williams took the stand after the testimony had been elicited for the prosecution, and admitted that he had written the artcle and sent it toa New York paper, in which paper it was pub- lished. He also stated that he knew there was not a word of truth in his statement, and that he bad written it for fun and to create a sensation. The bill of indictment contained two counts—one charging him with libeling the other with libeling the ehureh. The jury found him guilty of both charges. A BURGLAR SHOT DEAD NEAR RicH- MOND.—At3 o'clock yesterday morning, Mr. Rush Burgess, collector of internal revenue, who resides about a mile from the corporate limits of Richmond, Va., was awakened by his wife, who informed that she heard a noise in the house. He went down stairs, and on entering his dining-room he heard some one making theirexit through the door. Being armed with a pistol, he fired in the direetion of the door, but. as he thonght, ineffectually. dearing notoing further, he retired to bel When he got up for the day, however, he found traces of blood on his poreh, and fur- ther exami ion resulted in the diseovery of the body of adead negro under the poreh with a bullet-hole almost entirely through his body.

F SHING Ur THE Hoosac Tunxnen.— from the work of track-laying, the only ow actively carried on at the Hoosac nel is the clearing of the central shaft of timber and loose rock. This dangerous work Was begun in ovemnber, and is now about half done. Forty-five of the most experienced miners are employed under the direction of A. Bond, of the tunnel engineer corps, who was long engaged with Cai! O. WederRinch upon this work. They work upon a movable platform suspended from floors above, and, having begun with the bottom floor, are now at work suspended in the air on'their se- curely-fastened platform, over five hundred feet from the bottom. No loss of life and no serious aecident has occurred, thus far, in this much-dreaded work, the greatest caution being taken to detect unsound timbers and loose rock, which are the chief causes of alarm. A facade similar to the one at the west end is to be built at the eastern portal.— New York Commercial. 30th ult A NEw TRIAL FoR DUNCAN D.
