The trial of the two Van Ness bo; young Roth, members of the North On ha band of young thieves, began in police court at 10 o’clock yesterday morning. A number of witnesses were sworn in re- lation to the various thefts committed and where the stolen articles were dis- posed of.

The board of publie works advertised and ordered the work done, but they neglect- ed their duty in not ing that it was done. On the north side of Webster street, east of Thirteenth, nota plank has been laid, but fourteen feet of the side- walk is taken up with lumber. On the south side the St. Paul lumber d takes up fourteen fect of the sidewalk with lumber and the sidewalk has been cov- ered to a depth of about th feet with snow all winter. Four or five hundred men who toil for their bread, have had to climb through the wud and filth four times a day for the | X months to ac- commodate our worthy city ofticials, who are first-class at holding aown a chair by warm stove, but neglect to do their du- y.

Thinking the case w really deserving of some further atten- tion, Gen. Howard wrote to the woman asking for further particulars. The let- ter never reached its destination, but was urned to Gen. Howard, through the letter oftfice. The woman, in the ntime wrote again to the general, still more piteous appeal for the pardon nf her husband. The matter was referred to Gen.
