ARREST OF \ RoGrE.--Licut. Crevon and officer
| Boullosa, Wednesday night arrested a man
named Andrew Findley, on charge Of being a
fugitive from justice. They state that Fndley was
arrested in tile Third District about three years
ago charge Of having robbed a man of $500
gold watch and some jewelry; and being te-
leased on bail, he had left for parts unknown pre-
vious to the day fixed for his trial. Since then
they have also heard that he was concerned in an
extensive forgery in New York, for which he was
arrested but made his escape. Recorder Bache
| will look into his case to-day.
FATAL FALI.-A man named John Dwire, early
on Wednesday morning fell from an upper win
dow or door of Hiram Kings stable on Baronne
street. He was taken to Charity Hospital, but
died soon after reaching there. He had been
drinking hard for several days, and is supposed to
have staggered out in his Sleep or in fit of drunk
| enness. -.
BOILER EXPLOSION, AND A NEGRO KILLED.-We
extract the following from yesterdays Bee:
Early yesterday morning the boiler in John
Armstrong; foundry, at the corner of Erato and
New LeYee streets, exploded, causing the death Of
negro man. We heard it rumoled that others
| were wounded. Mr. Armstrong is across the lake
and the persons in charge of the foundry have
acted most singularly and improperly in the mat
ter neglecting to have an inquest held, and going
round to the various city papers, requesting them
to suppress the whole affair." Under these crcun-
stances it is due to the public that there should be
full and clear efpos6 of the whole thing, and we
! hope that Coroner Beach will take cognizance Of
the failure to notify him of the death of the negro
i The reason why we did not publish the above
yesterday was, that we first heard the news Of it
! from the gentleman who visited the office for tile
purpose of requesting the suppression Of the news:
and that, being conscientious, we could not take
such an advantage Of a man as to publish an item
4 obtained from him, when he supposed we knew it
previously, and called upon US to request its sup
4 preston. Our friend of the Bee, however, having
\ aired the thing, we must in duty air it Also And
we will add, we felt that the request to suppress
such thing was highly preposterous and perfectly
/ foolish. The peculiar circumstance Of our obtain
ing the news from the man who called to have it
suppressed is only excuse but it is legiti-
mate excuse.
! The Coroner held no inquest, made no inyestiga-
| ton, because he not notified. m5.
