Boy KILLED ON THE CITY RAILRoAD.-Another
iata! accident occurred on the track of the city
railroad yesterday afternoon, which was the result
as Tar as we could learn of that horrible habit
children have of Jumping on the cars and track of
the road. 1t seems that the little fellow who lost
his lie attempted to run across the track behind
the down car, not observing that car was COM
ing up at the time, and ran almost under the feet
OF the mule before he saw it. He was knocked
down and run over before the driver could check
the car, and only lived to tell his name and resi-
dence. He lived at the house of Mr.. Stautfer,
corner of Girod and PhiIippa streets, and was
named George Maurtz. The driver of the car was
arrested and locked up to await an nqeest by the
Coroner.
ALLEGED FORGERY. A man named Joseph
Dies was arrested by officer Carnes at the Citi-
zens Bank yesterday, upon charge by assistant
paying teller Thomas Cammack, to the effect that
ne attempted to pass forged check upon him.
1t appears that the same man had at different
times during the past fortnight succeeded in get
ting the money at this bank for two checks,
amounting to $500, which were also forged, and
the officers were on the look out for him. Yester-
day morning he presented a check at the counter
for $3.50, which Mr. Cammack Immediately detect
ed as being forgery, and sent for an officer, who
upon arriving effected his arrest. When arrested
Dies had in his pocket Confederate bill for 500.
He was locked up in the Second District police Jail
to await examination.
FIRE.-A fire broke out yesterday morning in a
kitchen belonging to Mr.. G. Wrench, corner of Ur-
suilne and Tonti streets, and before it could be
suppressed destroyed Mr. Wrench's house and
three frame cottages adjoining, situated on Tonti
street. The loss is about $1,000, and partially in
sured
PAINFUL ACCIDENT.-A most distressing accident
occurred to little daughter of Mr.. Burgess, in
the Second District, on Tuesday afternoon. She
approached too near a hot stove, her clothing
caught fire, and she was SO badly burned before
assistance could be rendered that she died yester-
day afternoon.
BURGLARY.-The house of a Mr.. Mooney, stu
ated on Casacalvo street, between Vaudeville and
Spain streets, was entered on Tuesday night by
some burglar, and his armoir broken open and
robbed Of about $40 in gold which he had there
Mr., Mooney has no idea as to the identity of the
thief.
ANOTHER Nut TO CRACK--The freedom.shriek-
ers, yclept the Abolitionists, can make note of
the fact that Col. Wade Hampton the ndetatiga-
BILE coored porter of our neighbor the Delta, gave
q colored ball for the benefit, of the free market,
which netted $54 l5 Not bad, that, we think,
and goes to show that the coored population des-
pise and reject the hypocrtical protestations of
the Abotionists.

plcation at this office: V. Demoruelle, Jno. Len
