FRENcHMEN STREET, between Greatmen and Craps,
has more holes, and deeper and sleeper holes, and
muddier and naster holes than any other street

often stick for hours, until the loads taken off

for the that some time ago Frenchmen street
was graded and otherwise fixed off for shell road.
The street ought to be looked to.

BLOODY TRAGEDY took place at o'clock yes
terday morning, in the Louisiana Ballroom, at the
corner of Espanade and Victory Streets Third D is
trict. A Spaniard named Manuel Suarez made
desperate and murderous attack upon Antoine
Cambre, commssary head officer of the ballroom,
with razor and in so doing was instantly killed by
Cambre, with two bullets from revolver.
Cambre, gashed with the razor and dripping with
blood, went Immediately afterward to the Third Dis
trct Lookup, where he surrendered himself to officer
Mazerat, stating that he had killed man in sel-de
fence. bed was prepared for him in one of the
cells, and DR.. Casellanos sent for That gentleman
soon arrived and dressed his wound: cash about
eight inches long, descending lateray from the left
nipple to the lower rib the right side, but luckily
not deep enough to endanger life, Cambre being a
stout fleshy man. second cut of the razor had
slit his trowses leg, without going deeper than the
trowsers and drawers.
Shortly after Cambres surrender the dead body Of
Suarez was brought to the lookup, and laid in the
back yard Early yesterday morning Coroner Daunoy
went there and held his inquest. The post-mortem
examination, made by DR.. Delery, showed death to
be the result Of two pistol shot wounds, in the
upper part of the thorax and the other in the left
side of the abdomen each wound sufficient to cause
immediate death.
i The substance of the testimony was as follows:
Arthur Guerin, an officer of the ball room testified
that whilst he seated bench at the side OF
the room looking at the dance, and talking with vis
tor named Torregano, ,Suarez came up and seated him
self his other side, and began talking to him fa
miliary, and in rather fattering way Finally he
asked if there was such man as Cambre about the
ball. The reply being in the affirmative, suarez
stated that he intended to kill Cambre. Guern, be-
lieving him to be in liquor, and not credtng what
he said told him jokingly that he had better not kill
any one there that if he intended to kill, he had
better do it somewhere else. After that all three
(Guerin, Suarez and Torregano) went and took a
drink together at the bar, which is in the ballroom
at end after which they returned to their seats
Shortly afterward Cambre entered the ballroom
and walked up and down, after his usual fashion. As
he did so Guerin noticed that sualez watched him
intenty, and with look about his eyes which bodet
no good. He then determined to watch both Suarez
and Cambre, and to assist in arresting the former
} should be make an attack Cambre finally left the
ballroom to so down stairs. Suarez followed him
and Guerin followed both. He saw Cambre go int
the supper room and seat himself, whilst Suare1
staid outside his conduct being somewhat suspicious
but still not decided enough to warrant the belief tina
: he intended to make an immediate or desperate at
d tack.
. Guerins duty being up stairs, be went up again
= but this time seated himself bench oppos te th
4 head of the stairs, so he might run down quickly
should he hear fight Torregano took his seat b,
him again; and whilst they were conversing, Cam
bre who had been at SUPPER came eisurey up stairs
!, picking his teeth. Close behind him was Suarez
Just as Cambre reached the top step Suarez bounde

S perate cut at his throat with razor, which, up t
that instant, no one had seen.
The motion of Suarez's arm caused Cambre

rid himself OF Guerin, he made second rush

hand, soon made Guerin let go and dodge off. Durir
this short interval Camble had had time to reach IL
