AacuS III Wv bcc0nu Story OF house dt lhe
of Gossein and Patterson streets, the property of
man WHO keeps bar-room on the lower floor.
The facts Of the suicide as elected by the Coroner
were these: The proprietor Of the house, going up
to his room, at about o'clock on Tuesday night
heard grpans in the Doctors room. He went to
the door and found it locked. II being unusual for
the Doctor to lock his door, the landlord became
alarmed.
he Wentdown stairs, and told lady that the Doc
tor was very III, but had his door locked. The lady
advised him to burst the door open. He went into
the street, called a policeman, and together they
went up 10 the Doctors room and burst the door
open. The Doctor, in his ordinary outdoor dress.
was stretched on the floor lying on his right side,
with pillow under his head. A stream of blood,
issuing frpm his left breast had saturated his shirt
and vest, and formed pool on the floor at his side
Near his right hand was empty single barrel
pistol. lie was not dead, but evidently dying.
The landlord stopped over him. and asked, in
French, doctor, who has done this to yon?n He
anwsered, family, and gasping he spoke, in the
same Language, me, myself; have been calum-
mated" These were his last words. They were
mysterious, as the Doctor had always borne a good
character, and no one had ever heard word of
scandal Rganst him. He left no paper, or any
thing, to explain why he killed himself. He left
fine medical library and some more valuable prop
erty, which will probably be taken charge of by
relative of his who resides in this city.
ANOTHER CoFFEEHousE MURDER IL Last night
between IL and u O'Clock, fight took place
among lot Of steamboatmen and sailors, in a
boardingtcoffe on Old Levee street, between
Ursulines and Hospital. One man, named Frank
Mailman was stabbed and instantly killed. His
body was taken to the Second District lock-up
The police arrested all the men in the cofeehouse,
thirty-fve in number; but it was believed that the
man who did the stabbing escaped. The lateness
of the hour prevented us from getting further par
ticulars.
Dry GOODS FANcIEK IN TROUBLE. Walter
Redburn, for the last eight months employed as
clerk in Ehe dry goods store Of r. B. Mullen & Co.,
at the corner Of Canal and Chartres streets, was
yesterday brought up in the unpleasant light Of
being betrayer Of his employers.
His integrity being suspected, the suspicion was
communicated to the police. Detective officers
Boylan and Howard were detailed to the duty Of
looking after them. They did their work we'll; got
| after Mr. Redburn so gently, and hemmed him in
SO nicely, that he owned himself a pilferer, and
consented to take them to his room, somewhere in
the back part of the First District The officers
there found, packed away nicely in trunks, about
$4,000 worth Of the finest sort of dry goods, silks,
aces, ete. which had been pilfered from the store,
small parcel at a time. No charge being made,
in legal FORM against Redburn, hewas not arrested
| AS most, if not all the goods taken by him, were
receyerfd, it is probable that his late employers
will not take the trouble to prosecute him.
| SINGULAR SCENE. - Yesterday, the antics of a
colored woman, at the third story window of a
house al the corner of Magazine and Girod streets,
such that loaferish fellows in the street
| took them for insults, and began throwing stones
1 at her. A gentleman who was passing, and not
comprehendng the matter, went to the door Of the
| house, rang the bell, and acquainted the inmates
with what was going on. The lady of the house at
once rushed up stairs, and secured the negro
woman, just as she was getting out at the window,
backwards, to drop into the street. The woman, ii
i appeared. was in severe spell Of sickness, and
her capers and dangerous attempt at the window
were owing to her being entirely out of her head.

ayailins, and the Judge ordered George back to
his Imprisonment.
Before leaving court George told Mr.. Blocker
that hH did not intend to go back to the Work
house. He verified his assertion. AS an officer
4 was taking him back, he knocked the officer down
and escaped
Afterward, he had the cool audacity to visit Mr.
Blocker at his Office, to inform him how well he
had kept his word. He said numerous spicy
things one of which was that the knock-doWn
argument was better than law, after all. Remark.
ing, pleasantly that some of the police might find
out he was there, he bade Mr.. B. a polite adieu
and travelled.
One of the Work-house officers, passing along
st. Charles street at night collared q man whom
lie supposed to be George. The man asked expla
nations so fiercely and showed his face so boldly
that the officer, not knowing George well enough
to be sure let him go. As he left, the uttered
several indignant things, such his belief thai
somebody wanted to rob him. and that he would
shoot any man who laid hands on him again. Blu
as the man very quickly after that got into car
riage, and put off down town, there is but little
doubtful that he was the celebrated Mr.. George
in disguise.
