Information was filled in section of tho criminal district court yesterday against Solomon Hastings alias Dr. Saul, who is well known in the Third district as a voudou doctor. Hastings is accused of having received quite a sum of money of the proceeds of the celebrated' De Sair robbery, where $16,300 was taken from Mrs. Nicholas Brecher by a gang of negro thieves. A number of arrests were made and a portion of the stolen money, about $2500, was recovered, $1800 or more in Saulsbury, N- C.

where one of the robbers, named Green, was arrested. The authorities at Saulsbury withheld about $600 as a reward, though the sum was proportionately greatly in excess of the reward ottered, for the recovery of the money. Subsequently this money fell into the hands of Chief of Police Bachemin, who refused to deliver more than about $150 to the victim of the robbery, presenting a claim for expenses, which was denied by Mrs. Brecher and her attorneys. Subsequently the case was compromised, but the chief of police lost his position, having on the advice of the mayor tendered his resignation.

Dr. Saul waa arrested and sent to St. John the Baptist parish for trial, where Judge Evans represented him, and claimed that the offense charged against him was committed in this city, and outside of the jurisdiction of the parish of St. John, in which De Sair station, where the robbery was committed, waa located. Dr.

Saul was thereupon released, and the case brought up before the late grand jury, where he was indicted for knowingly receiving stolen property from one David Burke, who was also accused of being implicated in the robbery. The case from the time the robbery was committed to the present day has been-most complicated, and has involved more persons in trouble than any similar case iu the annals of the convened district court. A THIEF ON DECK, And tbe Fencekeeper In Jail. Last Monday evening, on the levee, head of Erato street, Officers Wood-worth and Donnelly arrested a negro nemed Anderson Wright on the complaint of William Johnson who charges him with stealing his gold watch and chain from him on the steamboat Leathers last Sunday night. Johnson had taken deck passage on the boat, and while coming down the river Hell asleep, and when near Baton Rouge discovered that he had been robbed of his watch and chain.

On the arrival of the boat he reported his loss to the above officers who arrested Wright, and he confessed the theft and stated that he sold the watch at Mrs. Champlin's store, on Rampart. neaF ydras street, for $1 25, and the chain for a small amount, at Mrs. Donnelly's secondhand store, on Dryades. near Poydras street.

The former at once gave up the watoh, but Mrs. Donnelly denied having the chain or knowing, anything about it, and Officer Wood worth-swore out an affidavit against her before Commissioner Wright for receiving and baying stolen property. She was arrested by Deputy United States Marshal D. J. Delaney, and remanded to the parish prison in default of bonds.

Colonel Pierce made the speech. They had selected this quiet way in which to -make the presentations, because the presence of the entire association and a band of music would have disturbed the modest lady whom they all held as one of themselves. The committee had sent by express another medal and letter to Mrs. Kate Brownlee Sherwood, of Toledo, Ohio, and held a receipt for tbe same. The report was received, and the committee discharged.

In sratelul response the association returns, with its greeting, its accompanying badge.

The center bearing the confederate cross and the pelican is of metal taken from a rivet of the statue itself.

Complaints are made relative to furious driving on the asphalt pavement on St.

Charles avenue, below Louisiana avenue. It is true that Superintendent Adams has a number of policemen on duty on that street, but their blue coats and brass buttons can be seen some distance away, and as they usually stand in a crowd the drivers of vehicles are enabled to haul up and drive slow when they near them. Above Louisiana avenue Sergeant Blouin has a mounted patrolman on duty, and he has been very successful in preventing racing on the asphalt, which endangers the lives of pedestrians, women and children. Stealing Ship Stores. Yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock Officer Creagh arrested and locked up.

The ambulance conveyed him to the hospital. THE FBANKO VIOLIN RECITAL An evening with the violin, presided over by Mr. Sam Franko on Tuesday night, proved to be one of the musical events of the season. Mr. Franko is an eminent musician and a master of the violin, and although he is a native of this city his studies and engagements abroad have deprived oar musical publio of the pleasure hearing him since 18S0 when he was last here.

Already then distinguished in his profession he has con stantly improved until he has become one of the most skillful of violinists. Of middle height but slender, with a grave and earnest face and a natural, graceful Mr. Franko when playing seems completely one with his instrument. Free from mannerism of any sort and avioding entirely those gymnastic gyrations to at haye characterized some other distinguished violinists, Mr. Franko does nothing to iliatrant at.tantinn frnm thn nlavinir t.n the player.
