CeleSe street, was STRUCK by lghtnng, ana the re-
suit was, that the cotton in the lower hold was
set on fire. AS soon as possible our interchangeable
fire department was on hand, to remedy as
far as lay in their power the disaster that had oc.
CURED. In as good time as could be hoped for,
the vessel was filed with water, SO that but
measurably triling damage was done to the ship
andno great deal more, we are led to believe,
was done to the cargo by fire. The cotton, how
ever, Of course will be much injured by water |
About two thousand bales were on board.
The SToRM.-Among the many disastrous oc-
currences caused by the storm Of yesterday
morning, we hear Of one that perhaps exceeds
anything on record.
The house Of Mr.. J. r. Cochrane, building |
containing three rooms, built on brick pillars and
situated in Gretna, was lifted from its foundation
and carried distance of about seven feet by the
tumultuous elements.
The only thing approaching injury to the family, |
who we're asleep at the time, was the somewhat
sudden election from his couch, Of a son Of Mr..
Coehrane The house very much injured,
having parted in the middle, and it Is thought will
have to be entirely rebuilt before it will again be
comfortably inhabitable.
ATTEMPTED SU1cIDE-A man, whose name is
supposed to be Thomas Parker, was brought to the
First District police station last night for safe
keeping, as it was alleged that he had attempted
to commit suicide by hanging himself. His design
was fortunately frustrated, and he may live to
devote himself to some more useful purpose than
giving employment 10 a coroner and jury Of IN
quest.
ANOTHER FIRE,-Shortly before 8 o'clock yes
terday morning fire was discovered in the resi-
dence Of Mr.. Stotsendof, on St. Andrew street,
between Religious and Levee. The premises
owned by Mr.. s., were entirely destroyed, and part
! ly SO the adjoining house of Mr.. Finnegan. Both
gentlemen, we are informed, were fully insured in
one of city offices.
