INoUEsT ON Mr.. SULLIvAN's BoDY.-On Wed.
Desdsy Coroner Roche finished bis Inquest on the
body of Mr.. Sullivan, Who was killed on Saturday
evening last at the corner of Camp and ThAlia

was entirely unprovoked and that the men who
made it belonged to the negro Grant club, whose
headquarters are near the spot where the murder
was committed. But no one was able to identify
any party concerned in the killing, so the proba-
remain unscsthed. Let us hope that the hand of
Nemesis will some day yet find them out. 1t was
cruel cowardly murder.

we're lost sight Of. For instance, when it was
raining on Tuesday morning, two foot passengers
on Canal street, opposite the Custom House, being
in dread of drenchiDg ran rapidly along the
banquette toward the friendly shelter Of a veran.
da at the next corner. Seeing them running,
others ran, and they in turn were seen by others,
who began to run too, all toward the friendly
shelter. until discovering the absence of anything
extraordinary, they ell turned feeling little sold,
and went their ways again.
