warehouse and on into an occupied dwelling
house on Locust street. The house contained
fifteen inmates, all asleep when the crash
occurred The cars found the tenement was
something of an obstruction to their speed,
vet insufficient to resist so great force.
The front car drove ahead, tearing timbers,
rafters, furniture, all things else, indiscri-
minateiy, totally wrecking the entire estab-
lishment, furnishing the sleepers with Il fair
idea of what a young earthquake must be.
Two families occupied the devoted build
ing, that Of Henry Bonnar and Christopher
Raichbach. Strange and improbable as it
may seem, not a single individual was in
jured although one mans head was damned
against a wall with such force as to make a
dent in the plastering, yet he was no more
than well walked up. Mr.. kaichbach. wife
and infant were sleeping soundly at the
time. and their bed was pretty well torn to
pieces before they were uncereMoniously
shutiled from it.
The house, after the accident, looked very
much as if half q dozen bombsileils had eX-
ploded in it. and the from: car was wedged
in under what remained OF the roof. When
the ears collided two persons were thrown
from the rear train, but escape unharmed.
Taking into consideration the important
fact that no bones were broken. the affair is
almost laughable.

MALIc1oUs.-Twice, lately, the local
column Of the Picayune has contained art-
cles which. by imputation, reflect on the
character Of one Of our most enterprising
and upright citizens. As lbs character is
above reproach, it is unnecessary for lis to
advocate him against pigmy aspersions-
aspersions connected with small and mean
things. This gentleman, since his connec-
ton with the Board Of Police Commission
ers, has performed good services and
perfected many reforms. All the news
papers in the country might shoot their
venom at such a gentleman as the Colonel.
and the armOr of truth and uprightness
which guards him would prove impene-
trablc. OF course there is a silent motive
for the attack on this gentleman just at this
time, which all who are interested in or
acquainted with can readily understand.
TRYING TO DEPART.-James Cough and
William Marcellin were in the third pre-
cinct station cell Tuesday night, having been
sent in from the Larbor precinct. During
the night they nearly succeeded in making
their escape by removing brick and mortar
from the wall. However. their operations
were discovered in time 20 prevent their
departure. 1t is Il little curious how they
gained possession Of tools 70 work with.
They had been arrested Tor stealing q bag OF
| coffee from the levee.

DESIGNATING \ GRAvE.--i Horror IN ~.
Patricb's Cemetery.-Early yesterday morn
ing. the sexton of st. Patrick's Cemetery,
on Metairie Ridge, was astourit.ed at finding
the body of recently deceased lady outside
It's grave, the fingers mutilated as # some
ghoul had cut the decaying flesh TO rob the
grave of a few tritiing baubles, as the only
reasonable conclusion which can be arrived
az is that the heathenish perpetrators de-
sired to steal. The corpse WAS returned
to its disturbed grave and the friends in
formed.
The name, it is useless to remark, can not
be given to the public. for the sorrow that
is now in the family is too great to bear up
under. 1t is almost impossible to believe
that there are fiends in this community SO
utterly debased as to pcrpetrate so foul
deed as to raise the dead simply to gain pos
session Of trinket. But the miserable fact
stares us in the face. and we must give pub
Lefty to it. 1t is incumbent on the police to
use every exertion to ferret out the wretch
or wretches who have drawn this horrible
pail over our city's good name. At present
no particle of suspicion rests on any one.
4 BIrER-Mrs. Pitcher, No. l53 Gasquet
street, has a dog that will bite other things
than scraps. Running at large on Gasquet
street. the brute set his teeth into the flesh
of little Thomas Gregson, wherefore Mrs.
Pitcher is accused Of violating city ordi-
nance The subject will be investigated on
the twenty-fourth instant, when the dog
tail will probably be cut OF close to his
vicious head.
