Policeman Toler "pulled them in," v They attracted a crowd, not only when they were taken down to the station but afterwards. People kept ' coming in to view them as though they were on ex hibition and to crack Jokes at their ex pense,' all of which the martyrs to fun loving stood good naturedly.' Their go ing ouf in disguise was no doubt done thoughtlessly as a joke but such a pro ceeding is a violation of a State law and we believe is counted quite a wrious offence. New Berne Cycle Club.

A committee was appointed to see the cyclists of the city and invite them to be come members of the club and to attend the meeting of the club next Monday night. The Boys. It is said by some that the "Y. M. C. A" is used as an excuse by 'the boys and young men (and some of the old ones) of the city to get away from home at night. The excuse is a reasonable one, and any parent ,or guardian des'ring to know whether their boys do visit the Y. M. C. A or not, and how long they generally remain there, can learn the facts by call ing on the Secretary. Small boys are not allowed to remain longer than 9:15, and the rooms are closed about ten o'clock every night. Willlg-Herrlngton.

John Johnson, now lies in Craven county hotel for the theft of a cow-from Mr., Drew - Dixon who lives about eight miles from the city. - Johnson stole the cow Monday night, brought her down and butchered her the Tuesday morniug following at the slaugh ter pen loot of End street; took the' hide and sunk it in a hole of water in Lanes' Branch near where the public road cross es it, and carried the beef'to his stall at at tho coiner of Pollock and Xorwood streets (diagonally accrosa 1: on Mr. T. F. McCarthy's) fur sale. Mr. Dixon came down Tuesday bunt ing for his cow. He ha'l traced her un til he found she had been brought to ward New Berne, and he obiaincd facts enough to warrant him in suspecting Johnson; so yesterday he reported at the police headquarters, and Mr. Brinson was given tho case to work up. He went to tho shop of Johnson arm ed with a warrant fir his arrest. Johnson told very contradictory anil fa'sc stories, but he at last confessed, even to where the hulo was hid. He was tried before his honor Mayor Ellis yesterday atternoon and bound over to next term of court, but failed to give bond. This is not the first case of the kind that Johnson has been caught at. At a term of Superior court not long ago, he was tried for stealing a cow from Mr. David Williams, but was let off in that instance with paying the costs of the case and paying for the cow.
