Mr. B. D. HaselI, Superintendent of the Jackson
Railroad, and Mfr. p. II. Goodwin. SUPERINTENDENT
of the Pontchartrain Railroad were examined %

I'VE railroads, and as to the rules governing their
cars whilst within the city limits. Both offered the
facts OF bells on their locomotives kept constantly
ringing whilst moving, in or near the depofs. also
te iacts as TO the elevated platforms in their de-
pots, which offer a good fo0tway to the peopIe
and induce themto keep Off the track.
aehfy unmaek, young German who attends at
the fruit stand just within the Tive Circle depot
was examined He did not see the accident. INF
ne heard the boy scream: afterward saw him at the
nelghDofing drug store, and helped to carry him

Standing on a track, locking at train az ears in
motion, when he was knocked down and run over
bY q locomotive coming up behind him.
Thomas ~ Earhart, a lad Of thirteen and brother
M of me deceased, was examined. He was with bis
llttle brother at the time of the accident They
mad come down Nayades street. and took q short
Gut through the depot, being ON an errand to Pow
dras market. Witness sat down on a bench to look
"A
ton had just come in. There are three tracks IA
the depot. His little brother went round the cars
On the outside track, and stood on the middle
track to look at steam train which was coming in
On tnat same middle track. This train atopped he
fore entering the depot Whilst his little brother
was SO standing, Che saw his legs underneath the
ears, as he passed along tile other side Of tle
cars) the locomotive which had brought in the first
tfaiil on tile near track. and which had gone for
ward, and run backwards and switched OH an the
middle track, and was still running backwards on
the middle track to take the other switch for tia
lar outside track tripped him up and run over him.
witness described the tracks and switches in the
depot with great accuracy, and gave an account
eauatiy clear, OF the positions and movements af
the cars on the different tracks at the time Of tie
accident His account showed that counter NOVA
ments OF the locomotive and trains, not authorized
by the rules OF the company. had taken place. He
heafa no whistle from the locomotive which ran
over his brother.
We abbreyiate the testimony as muel, as possi
ble 1t was shown that tlle depot at Tiyoli Circle
leading diagonally from the corner of Triton Walk
ana Apollo street, to the corner OF Galllone and
NaHades streets, and being well-covered and
Weii-paved passage way, was generally used by
people, big and little, who had occasion to pass in
either direction. Boys and girls school children,
were in the constant habit Of passing through, and
were sometimes so much in the Way that the offi.
Ger there had to drive them off
Al A. &. Blanchard, Secretary of the Carroton
Railroad Company, was sworn. He testified that
owing TO an accident some time ago, strict instruc
whistle whenever they moved backward or for
ward, at the depot; also that it was rule of the
road that different trains should not move ut tile
same time, when in the depot or al station; one
train being under the necessity of standing still
till the other train had got away. AS to bells none
mad ever been used on any of the locomotives on
that road. This witness rather doubted the testi.
mony OF young Eafhart, as to the movements of
the i'll the depot at the time the accident fanl
place.
The Coroner's jury rendered this verdict. That
the boy Osborne q. Eafhart, ten years and d half
old, died from injuries received BY being run over
BY the tender OF locomotive, whilst backing iii
the Garr0iton Railroad Depot at Tivoli Circle the
accident resulting from want of proper precau-
ton on the part of the Carrollton Railroad Com
pany.
This verdict. with all tie testimony, and certain
suggestions of the Coroner, will, we learn, be
properly laid before the Grand Jury.
MYSTERIOUS CAsE.-one of the deaths and buri-
ais of last week was surrounded with SO much mys-
terry and suspicion, that it is now in the hands of
the Coroner and the city police.
Miss E. NJ. O'Reilly, an Irish maiden lady %
years OF age, and keeper of private school for
children, near the corner OF Orange and ST. John
the Baptist streets, First District, took sick very
suddenly on last Monday, yesterday week. died
in an hour or two, and was next day buried in the
new cemetery on Washington street, Fourth Dis
trict The suddenness of her sickness and deafh
and other circumstances connected Herewith ere
ated so much talk among the neighbors, that some
Of said neighbors thought the public authorities
should know something Of the matter. 1t was
strongly limited to the police, that strong belief
prevailed that Miss 0'Heiliy had died from poison
or through some other foul means.
The talk about the matter WAS of snch weight
that the Coroner was informed, and that officer
promised to exhume the body and subject it to the
usual chemical tests which seek for poison.
Yesterday, Coroner Beach had the body ex-
humed, and Dir. Hart, City Physician, proceeded to
examine it, or rather to take away such portions as
might, upon chemical analysis, explain whether
death had resulted from poison or not. The open-
ing Of the body betrayed something which none of
the relatives friends Of the deceased seemed to
have suspected, prior to her death. 1t was found
that when she died she was a1lce4lte and near tho
period of her maternity. Such portions of the
bodgsas usually exhibit the presence poison were
dettched and sealed up in jars, to be submitted ID
chemical analysis hereafter the remainder was re-
stored to its rest in the tomb.
No legal examination Of the case being yet in
onder, we must offer this, rs the aggregate Of tho
prevalent and concurrent storiss i'll regard To the
Affair: Several hours before her sickness and
death, Miss 9Rely was as healthy and haarfv "A
