SEVERE ACCIDENT-John Osborne, a
drayman, was severely injured yesterday
by being run over on the levee by his
horse and drag.
From the best information we could
gather from those who Witnessed the &C.
currenee, it appears that as Osborne was
inthe act of unloading his dray the cattle
which we're being taken on board the
Olive Branch were crowding together,
and frightened Osborne's horse, which
started to run, and in some manner
tramped on Osborne, and drew the dray,
loaded with -four, over him, and he was
finally thrown over, lighting between
two barrels of -four, receiving severe
bruises and cuts about the breast and
head 1t was thought by some that the
mate of the Olive Branch had struck the
horse, causing him to start; but this the
mate positively denies, and his statement
is corroborated by others who were close
by and saw the whole affair.
Osborne was carried home in a hacl
and medical assistance called to his aid
His injuries, though severe, are not es
teemed dangerous.

her chief officers, Capt B. R. Pegram,
who occupiesthe Roof, and Capt. Oglesby,
who discharges with such consummate
ability the duties of the office, have no
superiors and bat few equals as high
toned and accomplished gentlemen.
The General Anderson went out at .
o'clock with a splendid trip, and the
Charley Bowen, although unannounced,
went out late in the evening with a good
freight list and a crowd of passengers.
The Big Grey Eagle arrived from
Louisville at about 7 o'clock last night.

a handsome trip both ways.
The palatial Superior, Captain q. II
Dexter in command, will leave at 2

DARING RoBBERY-SAFE Blown UP
1895 sToLEN-RoBRISG THE SOLDIERS
WIVES AND FAMILIEs-The safe of Mr..
z. Hornbrook was blown up and robbed
on Tuesday night or yesterday morning.
The burglars entered by the back
window, and had from all appearances,
conducted the affair with the most DELHI
crate leisure, and in the most business
like and matter-offaet manner.
After entering the back way they had
evidently helped themselves to cove oys-
tiers and sardines, and had then deliber-
ately moved the writing-desk to one
side, taken bookcase from off the safe,
drew the safe out from the wall, laid it
on the back, stuffed the key-hole full
of buckskin, punched hole into the
lock, filled it with powder and blown the
door to pieces. They had gathered
around them a number of tools to work
with, and implements for defence, in
Guiding several pitch-forks.
They obtained in all about 1894 95 in
money, 1862 As of which belonged to
the families of soldiers, and had been
sent home by husbands, sons and broth
ers from the army, besides valuable pa
pers.
Thirty-two dollars and thirty cents be-
longing to Mr.. Hornbrook, mostly in
silver change, was also taken.
The principal part Of the money stolen,
belonged as follows:
To Nicholas Green, discharged from
Slst Regiment, S92 45.
To Mrs. Sarah Devine, sent home by
her son in the Goth Regiment, $40.
To Chaltenberger, sent him by mem
Der of the Goth Regiment, $32.
To Joseph Singer, sent him by mem
Der of the Goth Regime Mt, $50
To Charles Rheer, 9Th Kansas, $3.50
500 bonds, $3.50
To Vanderburg Land Association
consisting of silver and notes, SIS.
We can conceive of no villiany more
dark or damnable than robbing the sol
diers or their families, and if there is, yet,
as has sometimes been supposed, spark
of honor left among thieves, it is hoped
the money thus taken from these poor
families, will be returned.i
This is one of the boldest robberies
ever perpetrated in this city, and shows
that we were right in declaring that cur
city was infested by gang of desperate
villains, the declarations of others, to
the contrary, notwithstanding.
1t is hoped these villains will be de-
tected and meet the full demeirt of their
crimes.

A PLEASANT SIGHT-The scene on the
levee, yesterday, reminded every one of
the good old times, before "this cruel
war" commenced.
To see a mammoth steamer at the
landing taking on a whole drove of cat
tie, thousand or more barrels of -four,
hay, corn, pork and other Northern prod
ucts, for the Crescent City of the sunny
South, was striking illustration of the
benefits which have resulted from Grant
celebrated retreat upon Vicksburg,"
and of the vast progress we have made
in the work of suppressing the rebellion,
and restoring the authority of the Gov
eminent over the States in rebellion.

Bill OF PRICES FOR DRAYAGE-In our
advertising columns will be found the
bill of prices established by the draymen
of this city, at their meeting at the Court
House on Tuesday night
In consideration of the high price OF
everything pertaining to living, and
keeping horses, we think the rates will
be found just and reasonable. the ad-
vance in prices not being in proportion
to the advance in hay, feed, provisions
and other necessary articles. With corn
at 81. per bushel, oats at 65 to IS cents
and hay at $25 to s27 per ton, it is clear
iy manifest that it is sheer act of jus
tice to themselves and families to in
crease the price of their labor
Iu all other branches of labor rates
have largely advanced, and justice and
right demand that draymen shall not BIZ
an exception to this rule Among oul
citizens we have not more industrious
orderly and good-natured class than oul
draymen.
