The ORLEANS BANK FORGERY.-The Or
leans Bank forgery has been settled in the
First District Recorders Court. Recorder
Staes discharged NJ. L. Madden. the ac-
cused, from custody on the ground that
there was no evidence that. he had forged the
check for $475, purporting to be signed by
Joseph Dreyfus, in favor of Jacob Reber.
The Recorder also held that, in his opinion,
there was no evidence that Madden had.
knowingly, uttered forged check. He
added that he regarded Madden as having
been. through the whole transaction. the
tool of some designing villain. The evidence
furnished no facts which have not been al
ready published.

DROWNED BOYs.-There seems to be An
epidemic among little boys who have access
to the river of being drowned During the
winter we have but few cases of drowning
to report, and these generally are cases of
men meeting watery grave. During the
present summer we have had quite num-
Der OF cases OF young lads perishing while
swimming in the river, but since the ener-
getic measures taken by the police to ar
rest all parties found engaged in enjoying
the forbidden luxury, the boys have stopped
swimming, and are being drowned in va
riOus other ways
The ages Of the drowned juveniles range
from nine to twelve years, and they have
evidently placed themselves in danger with.
out the knowledge of their parents. or their
parents must have been regardless of their
lives to have allowed them to run the risk
boys OF those ages always run in proximity
to such stream as the Mississippi. The
police do not let a day pass without it's one.
two or three reports of cases of boys
drowned, either off the wharf or out of
skiffs while fishing. The loss of juvenile
life in this manner is becoming so common
that it hardly excites attention or sympathy.
Yesterday morning citizen found float
ing in the river, and towed to the head of
Montegut street, the body of an unknown
boy. Coroner Avila held an inquest, but
no verdict could be returned except death
from drowning.
Deputy Coroner Long held an inquest
during the morning at Algiers on the body
of a young boy which had been picked up
in the river by the harbor police. The body
is supposed to be that Of William Schu-
macher, lad nine years old, the son of
Widow w. j. Schumacher, of Gretna, who
was drowned by falling out of skiff while
fishing.
About the same time as the above inquest
was held. N. Hoy, nine years old, fell into
the river about a mile above MillaudOn's
plantation, and was drowned. His body
has not been recovered.
Under the circumstances, it seems strange |
that parents will continue to allow young
children the freedom of the river
