ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.


On last Saturday afternoon and evening.
Capt. John D. Burgh, notorious character
herea bouts, was on the street in very
drunken condition. He was threatening bis
own life and the life of his relations, unless
somebody gave him some money. He went
to two drug stores, and procured some
laudanum at each, and at about 9 O'Clock in
the evening he entered Woods saloon, on
Orleans street, and called for a drink of
whisky. This was given him, he drank it
down, and Immediately afterwards raised
small phal to his lips, and
drank the contents The saloon keeper
noticed that the bottle was labeled poison
and tried to prevent him drinking it, but
was too late. He then went out on the
street. Woods notified a policeman some
time afterwards who searched for hi" .nu
found him on c. W. Halves door STEP Nc

tho ;rm.tes of the house outrageously. Mr..
Haxes told the policeman to arrest him and
take him to Jail, which at first thspoliceman
refused to do, but he commenced abusing
the policeman and WAS at length
being put in Jail DR.. Grover was sent for.
Before the Doctors arrival, he drew a small
knife and inflicted cash on his breast just
below the left nipple about an inch long and
little over an inch in depth, but not cutting
through the walls of the chest. DR.. Craig

He pronounced that be had taken about an
ounce of laudanum. A strong emetic was
administered and his wound dressed and

desperate from being out of funds, which led
him to the cowardly act of attempting his
own life, for which he had to get up srti6ci
courage with whisky. He is now in his
right senses, and it is hoped he may be pre-
vailed upon to become a decent member of
the community.

Site of the New Depot

site OF the new Depot
The addition to the New Orleans, ackson
| and Great Northern Railway, from the pres
ent depot on Magnolia street, to the coal
depot of the New Orleans Gas Company, at
Robin street. is of itself no small enterprise.
The extension commences nearly mile
above the depot, on Magnolia street and
runs down Euphrosine street to Rampant
street Here the company have purchased
a square of ground facing Triton walk, and
between Rampant and Dryades streets. The
old buildings that cucumber this purchase
are being rapidly demolished and the track
will curve around from Euphrosine street
to Triton walk. thence the whole length
of st. Joseph street, turning into New
Levee street, where the new depot will be
situated. A track branches from here
along New Levee street to Robin street.
where the coal depot of the Gas Company
is situated. This branch is intended to
convey coal from the depot of the Gas Com
pany to the GaswOrks, for which purpose
a bridge to cross the New Canal at Mag
nolia street will be constructed.
The new depot will occupy two squares
of ground, extending between New Levee
and Fulton streets. from South Market
street tcrossing Delord} to Calliope street.
The tracks are all laid from Robin street
to the junction of St. Joseph street with
Triton Walk: and also from the corner of
Euphrosine and Rampant streets up to the
junction with the main track. There is,
therefore, not more than one square where
rails are yet to be laid As soon as this is
completed, and the crossings along ST. JO-
seph street finished, the road will be ready
for use.
The indications are unmistal1able that
the extension of the jackson railroad. and
the establishment Of a depot on the leyee,
will arouse a spirit of trade and enterprise
in that portion of the old faubOurg st.
Mary. No long time. will elapse before an
air of energetic business will. pervade a
neighborhood, where for years past little
has been seen connected with human indus

and by no means troublesome.
