ROBBING A SOLDIER - On Saturday two men, giving the
names of James Hagerty and William Conner were arraigned
before Alderman Beitler, on the charge of attempting to rob a
soldier. It seems three men, tue soldier and other
passengers, were in the car. There was also seated, among
other passengers, William Taggart, the Baltimore Railroad
detective. The actions of these three men toward the
soldier attracted more than ordinary attention, and finally
aroused suspicion. The soldier got out of the car at
Fifteenth and Chestnut streets, and was followed by the three
men. Detective Taggart followed them and arrested the
above named two. The third party made his escape.
The prisoners were bound over in the sum of $1000 bail to be of
future good behavior and to keep the peace.

LARCENY - About four o'clock on Saturday morning,
Sergeant Lyster of the Twenty-fourth Ward Police, overhauled
a man with a bundle of blenkeis, pillow cases, & c.

sleeping cars in the Pennsylvania Railroad Depot, in West
Philadelphia. The prisoner owned up to the larceny, and
said that he got into the car through a window which he saw
open. He was concealed in the car when the watchman went
his rounds. The accused was committed by Alderman Allen
for a further hearing. His name is James Morgan.
