SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL %, 1913.

RETURN OF A SLAvE-About two years since
| one of our City Fathers, gentleman in the Third
Municipality, lost, as he supposed, a likely young
negro woman. He advertised and made various
inquiries for her, but to no purpose a short time
| afterwards woman, answering to her description
and with clothes such as he supposed she wore
when she disappeared, was found floating in the
| Mississippi opposite the city. Yesterday morning
| however, at an early hour she made her appear
ance, bag and baggage, fat and hearty, and stated
that she had runaway and reached the State of
Ohio, where she had remained since with free
negro woman. Becoming discontinued, she con-
cluded to return to her master. She said that she
preferred slavery to such freedom as she enioved
while absent, and requested her master to dispose
of her as he thought proper.
FIRE.-A fire was discovered yesterday in the
shed OF the Pontchartrain Railroad Company.
1t is supposed that the fire originated from the
sparks of the engine, which flying upwards ignted
the roof of the building. The damage done, how
ever, merely triae. Our gallant firemen We'd
with each other as to whom should be first on the
ground, but the fire-ship No. s, commanded by
Capt Poole, came in a knot ahead.
RAIN.-It rained almost necessarily all day yes
terday, and the unfortunate wight who had the
misfortune to have no umbrella, must certainly have
great demand, and young ducks seemed as happy
AS young ladies are the day after marriage. The
streets were covered with mud, and were the
unfortunate pedestrians who had to tramp them to
earn bread and butter. Several gentlemen, addict
ed to temperance, imagined that they had got their
feet wet, and knowing that wet feet were provoca-
iives of the consumption, boldly called for glass
OF brandy-merely of course, to keep the cold out.
The waters of Lake Poydras did not rise very
high, but the cutters in the vicinity We're suffi-
GENTLY deep to sail canoe. People who Were
troubled with said that they knew the day
previous that it was going to rain and people who
were not corned anu had umbrellas, felt the
truth of their predictions.
SUsPIcIoUs.-A darkey by the name of John,
belonging to Mr. Cheaton, was, at a late hour last
evening, found concealed underneath berth on
board the steamboat Cincnnatus. Whether he
intended to break open the passengers trunks,
away from his master, or blow up the steamboat,
the police books do not state
STEALING.-James Diamond was arrested by the
Second Municipality police, last evening, the
charge OF having stolen money from the drawer of
the New York Cofeehouse, No. IL New Levee
street. He was remanded for examination.
