"A nran m1laed by a Railroad Car.

Athalf-past seven o'clock last evening the body
of man was found to be dead on the Tchoupi-
toulas railroad, where it crosses Robin street. The
head was SO horribly crushed as almost to defy
recognition, and no papers were to be found about
his person which could give any clue as to who he
was. The body was dressed in o gray coat, gray
ish black pants had on shoes, and was under the
middle size. 1t was carried to the Pecanier sta
ton, and the driver Of car No. 15 was arrested as
witness.
From his statements it appears that at the time
of leaving Canal street the deceased, whose body
he recognizes, entered his car and rode to Robins
street, there attempting to arise from his seat to
ring the bell but evidently too intoxicated to do so
He got out of the car and the driversaw more of
him, but heard some Of the passengers cry out to
the keepers of neighboring coffee house that the
man had fallen, and to take him away from the
track. The deceased, he further stated, was
about forty years old, wore side whiskera, and
had poeket-book containing money, which has
not since been found upon his person.
The driver who followed after him, whose name
is James MCGOWAN, was arrested as implicated in
the killing about an hour after the accident hap
pened 1t appears THAT he did not stop his car
at all, and maintains ignorance of the matter, and
that the killing must have been caused by some
other driver. The coroner's verdict has not yet
been pronounced. The statement Of parties
familiar with the neighhorhood was thatthe cross
| ing was 50 dark that hundred men might have
been run over without being seen.

goeth his way, and he museth as he walketh un
his hone. He admreth the virtue of the Made
