On Thursday morning Last, about 10 o'clock,
dray number 1862 coliided with Levee street
car, number 1888, at the corner OF Old Levee
and Madison streets, causing the explosion OF
sixteen cases Of torpedoes, the entire load OF
the dray. The driver Of the dray, Timothy
OConners, was killed. Jacques Couiogp,
driver of dray number $500 was severely
wounded, and, it is feared, will not recover:
Seven others were moro or less injured by the
explosion. As . similar accident occurred here
some two years ago, caused by this same make
of torpedoes, and as a torpedo explosion took
place in New York last month, the public are
anxious to know why these dangerous and
deadly toys are allowed to be brought in our
midst. The Coroner's inquest develops the
fact that Mr.. Norris McGraw, the consignee Of
three hundred cases Of torpedos per ship Hurl-
but had declined to receive them. Thereupon
the manufacturers, Messrs Klueber, Gold
schmidt g. Co., Of New York, sent out Mr..
Goldschmidt to otherwise dispose Of the nm
welcome merchandise. The first load, sixteen
cases were destroyed as above set forth. The
Mayor of the city has issued an order forbid
ding the removal of the remainder, unless by
water.

Among the events of the past week may b
noted the arrival, in st. Patrick's Parish,
six Sisters of Mercy, who come to take harg
of the parochial schools of St. Patrick
Church. To Father Allen all praise must b.
given for thus having secured 80 valuable al
aid to Catholic education. In the absence o
Father Flanagan he has had many difiicultie
to surmount, but has at length succeeds
and will, without ceasing, continue his effort
in the cause of the schools. These schools ar
second to none in the country, and this oppo1
tunity cannot be let pass without animadvert

Catholics) who fail to patronize and supper
them. All the parochial and select school
attached to st. Patricks church will be opene
tomorrow. and it is to be hoped that larg
increase in the number of scholars attendin
