ALMOST A sUIcIDE.-Early yesterday morning
officer Earle found upon the wharf, az the foot of
jackson street, young man by the name of Ed
ward A. Heinche who was engaged in removing
bis clothing, evidently with the intention Of throw
ing himself into the river. Upon being arrested
and brought before the recorder be stated that he
had come from St Louis about six months since,
and bad been in bad health. 1t times he did not
even know what il was that allied him. The un-
fortunate young man was evidently suffering from
some mental disorder, and the recorder therefore
sent HIM to the asylum for treatment. His friends
have since been Informed of his whereabouts, he
having wandered away from his residence some
days ago.
ATTEMPTED SurcIDE.-A man named Stephen
Fiernery, residing on Adele street, between
housseau and Fulton, about 10 O'Clock Tuesday
night, attt mpted 10 destroy his life by cutting his
throat with razor. He wa. prevenedfrom accom-
plisbiDg his purpose by Officer StDop who wrest
ed the terrible weapon frem him. His wounds
are not dangerous.
.AccIDENT.-A little boy, while playing on Levee
street, between Seventh and Eighth accidentally
tell down and injured himself so severely about
the body that he lost his speech. He was taken
to his parents, and is said to be in great danger
Of his life.
HEAVY SwINDLE.-A man "a stranger, we be-
ms N "a nf he okt -. IA.
yesterday, with a common wooden box fancy
ornamented with shells. worth probably two or
three dollars, which he declared having purchased
irom vendor on the street, at the price of one
hundred dollars. Whether he has since mace an
tfidavit against the swindler, we have not been
able to ascertain.
MYSTERIOUS AFFArR.-The body of a negro
man was found, yesterday. in the swamp, about
mile back of the City Park. His pockets we're
Outiurned, which naturally leads 70 the supposi.
ton that he was the victim Of foul play. An ex.
animation Of the body did not illicit whether any
wounds had been inflicted upon IT, the decompo-
siti0n having reached such an advanced stage as
to leave 70 possibility Of tracing the manner in
which the man came 70 his death, II IL was through
violence. The coroner will hold the inquest to-
day. |
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. IN TIE CRY CoUScIL.-A
resolution was adopted in the lower board of the
council on Tuesday evening" appropriating twen. |
ton in the neighborhood of the LeBreton market, |
which does not meet the acquisitions of Mayor |
Heath nor Major Williamson, the Chief of police |
who have taken steps towards satisfying the |
claims of the neie hborhood mentioned which has |
suffered greatly, recently, from the depredati0ns
of rufhsns infesiiDg the city. The resolution |
adopted was not according to the report of the |
committee on police and health. From our re-
collection OF the report, it favored blank appr0.
priaton towards building a small station Ia the |
locality mentioned, at the same time |
recommending the board TO accept |
he ofer Of one of the ticket Offices Of the Fair |
Grounds made by the association, to be used |
temporarily as police station, until one could be
bullt by the city in some other portion of the in
tested district. But, unfortunately, the report |
was so misunderstood that the resolution was /
adopted IN shape that will not meet the emer-i
gency. The council could do nothing better, in
our opinion, tban reconsider their action of Tues
day last, for the is that is of no little mo-
ment. We do not exaggerate when we state that l.
the gentlemen who live in the environs of the
eBreton Market are often kept at home in the
evening from important business in town, wing
TO the dread of their wives and children to remain
without protector from the burglars and thieves
who have visited their homes so frequently-in
one case. over a dozen times in one year.
