The shark took no notice of the bait for quite a length of time,but finally he "struck" it and for a few moments he made the water boil around him, but he was safe and was soon lying helpless on the platform around the Light House. A. Hold ; Friday night Mr. Jas.W. Hamilton, residing at the foot of Xew street, heard a noise in his yard and " went out to ascertain the cause, when he discovered, his pony standing near the poultry house, with r his head in one of the windows. Thinking the animal was fastened in some way, Mr. Hamilton went towards the poultry house, when a negro with a sack in his hand, jumped out from the door. ' Under the excitement of the moment, and unarmed as he was, Mr. II. dashed in pursuit of the negro and caught him just as he was climbing over a; fence. The thief was; 41 on a balance," half on oue side of the fence and half on the other, and Mr. Hamilton took ad vantage of the situation by catching him by the feet and pulling him back on his premises. The negro broke the bolt, however, as soon as he reached the' ground, and dealt Mr. Hamilton a stunning blow. The blow was unlooked for and Mr. Hamilton was for a moment stunned. Following up his advantage, the thief then caught Mr. II. by the thrpat and probably .would have eho.A cd him to death had' he not, byn strong effort, - freed him- self - from the would-be murderer's clutches. As soon as the negro found that Mr. H. was in 'a con dition to cope with him, he again took ta his heels., leaving his hat. Mr. Hamilton recognized the negro to be. Roscoe Jones, a 'clerk in the Huckster Stall of Thos lloJbtbins, in Peopled M-ars et A number of persons identified the loat as the ene worn by Janes, on Friday Mr .Ham-s ilton got. out a warnkut for Jones' arrest," Jones had. bee in tbe stall nearly all day Saturday, but , or Saturday evening, when the officer went to servethe warrant, he had "just left," and no clue ta ' his whereabouts has since been obtained. Since writing the above we learn Jones was ' afterwards arrested Sat- luday night, and will be tried before the Mayor this morning. GTS-Da j-. w Celebrt .
