OFF THE TRACK-By some indiscretion

horse and wagon on the Pontchartrain
railroad track, on the levee, just as train
of cars was passing which did not ma
terially interfere with the cars but did
seriously with Pierre and his establish
ment. The cow-catcher became horse
catcher, for it unceremoniously picked that
animal up and carelessly dropped him one
side. taking no care with the wagon or the
driver. Pierre stuck to his vehicle until
torn away by the unfeelIng iron steed. Tn
fortunately the poor man was injured by
the collision, he receiving bad cut on his

DROPPED DEAD.-We copy the following
from the Picoyune of last evening, only re-
marking that it is taken from department
of that paper where reliable statements are
usually found:
We heard this morning in the Mayors
Office of a deplorable circumstance con-
nected with the execution of the two
Spaniards last Saturday. The rope with
which the miscreants were hung had been
purchased from merchant doing business
down town, who, it appears, had, at the
time the purchase was made. been induced
to witness the execution. He was present
when the murderers were made to pay the
penalty of their crime, and the scene, re-
voting as it was, made deep impression
upon his mind. An hour or so after he re-
turned to his house the evening papers APP
peared. While he was reclining in his arm
chair his wife read to him the detailed &C
count in the evening edition of last Satur-
DAYS Pfcayune. Suddenly he interrupted
her by exciaiming in frightened tone, SO,
see them / see them" and scarcely had
these words escaped him when he dropped
dead. He was buried on Sunday. We
may mention that the deceased gentleman
had for some time been afflicted with heart
disease, and the impression which the
scene at the scaffold made upon him had
evidently fastened his death.

THE Boy MURDER-EraminatiO of the
AccuSed.-William flanagan, his sister, and
Mary Ann Hickey, were yesterday before
Recorder Houghton to be examined on the
charge of having caused the death of Will
liam Kane, child only six years old. who
was in no manner related to them. the par
ticulars of which we gave when Coroner
Creagh took testimony. The evidence
given yesterday did not materially differ
from that previously given. Officer Byrnes,
whose beat was on Dryades street at the
time, deserves credit for bringing this bru-
tally to light, and for arresting the accused.
He also produced witnesses who proved that
one of the prisoners threw deceased head
foremost into barrel of water, and after
ward hung him to bedpost.
Henry Turner, who lives next to the house
occupied by the accused, testified that after
Anna flanagan had finished choking the
child, Mary Ann Hickey took him by his
legs and feet and carried him, head hang
ing down, to a barrel putting him in, head
first, and when the child was taken out of
the barrel its hair was dripping wet. An
other neighbor testified that one of the ac-
eused had once forcibly placed the child
under hydrant and let the water run
down his throat, the child being naked.
Another witness saw the little unfortunate.
early one cold morning last winter, entirely
naked. in the Poydras Market.
The case was continued until next Thurs
day.
Mrs. flanagan is rather small, sharp,
black eyes, small features, rather fair skin,
looks like she is American born, and has
small baby not more than four months old.
She was dressed plainly, but neatly, IN
light calico, wearing a large green sun
bonnet. Altogether she looks like the wife
of a tlOurishing mechanic, about twenty
years old, and not unpleasant in manner.
Mary Ann Hickey has the same kind OF
features. except that age and excuses have
hardened the face. She has a flashing eye,
with an unpleasant expression. Her red
dened face suggests gin, but the suggestion
may be without foundation.
William flanagan has broad features. On
the left cheek is an ugly scar; on the right
cheek is very large mole or boil. He is
not more than eighteen years old, and is
brother to Mrs. flanagan. 1t will be noticed
this is her maiden name, for no bona tlde
husband appears to father the baby.
