death of two men, whose names we could not
learn, that had got on at Kenneryille. One Of
them was gardener who lived in the neighbor-
hood of Premiere Station. We learn from the
police that one of the deceased was old hunter,
Frenchman commonly known as Tony. There
mains of both were brought to the police station
last evening, about7 o'clock. The second body
had not been identified when we left. The effects
turned over at the station, as having been found
on the bodies, were a draft for $4,000, three gold
watches and knife. The bodies will remain at
the station this morning for identification and re-
coVery by friends.
| Since the above was written we have obtained
additional and definite information, The hunter
was named Tony Prosper. From the papers found
on the other body, it is supposed to be that of a
Catholic clergyman, Father Eugene Perret The
! paper we informed was a draft proves to be
due bill signed by Archbishop 0din, acknowl-
edging to owe Father Eugene Perret $4,000. This
was found in the pockets of the deceased gentle
man, supposed to be Father Perret together with
a letter addressed to Archbishop 0din
Both the deceased got on wood car at Kenner-
Vile. The car being driven in front of the loco
motive run over COW at the Carrollton crossing,
and up set and the wood fell on them Tony's
| skull was crushed. The injuries of the supposed
Father Perret were on the legs and the lower part
of the body. The upper part of the body or face
escaped, and the physiognomy indicated intelli-
gence and benevolent disposition. He appeared
to be middle aged gentleman. As soon as the
identity of the deceased was probably established,
I a messenger was sent to acGuaint Archbishop
0din with the melancholy occurrence.

be suspended from his Office, pending charge
which he has been notified to answer at the meet

the order issued by him to the police, directing
them for the present to abstain from arresting

of suspending the chief came up the mayor arguet
against it, In the present disorganized condition
of the police, in the transition state from an cid or
ganization to new one, he urged that the suspen

GUS consequences to citizens might result.

Is have been lost by tie vote-three toethree.
Messrs. Lynch and Conway did not vote again
70 the suspension upon the merits but because IL
