Local Intelligence.

THE Lyons MURDER-No new facts seem
to be elected in this mysterious case, the
particulars OF which have been previously
published. On holding the inquest yester-
day. the cause of death was decided to be
from a blow on the temple with some blunt
instrument. causing a severe confusion and
extravasation of blood, producing compress
sion and death. The investigation of the
Coroner resulted in recording the main facts
which are already known. No proof of his
own story at Strong's House-that he was
out at the lake-can be had. No one heard
or saw anything of him there. He came in
to the saloon at seven o'clock on the night
when he was taken to the lookup and begged
for a drink. which was given him, and after
sitting down at table and going out again.
he came in tight" and finally went to
sleep, when at eleven o'clock he was taken
to the station, thence to the hospital, where
he died.

City Drainage.
From the peculiar situation of the city of
New Orleans the ordinary waste and rain
water has been allowed to run along the
surface. and then it only finds its way few
squares from the river front, the remainder
of the distance, to the lake, being about
level with the lake at its ordinary height;
the result is, large track of ground, lying
between the rear of the city and the lake
shore, is a noisome swamp, the home of
multitude of mosquitoes and the source of
one-half of the malarial fevers and similar
diseases which afflict the people of New Or
leans. A twenty four hours southeast wind
drives the water of the lake two or three
feet above its ordinary level, and as con-
sequence the lake water flows through the
intervening swamp into town as freely as it
ever, under any circumstances, flows out.
Such state of facts would render it OBJ
vious to the most casual observer that be-
fore any real progress could be made in
draining the rear of the city one of the
first things to be done must be to prevent
the lake water from being driven into the
swamp and rear of the city. Yet in spite
of so simple proposition the leading idea
of the men whose business it has heretofore
been to attend to city affairs, has been that
Of cutting a few good sized bitches, which
they have dignified with the name of canals,
and when these proved inadequate they set
up a few paddle wheels for the purpose of
pushing the water before them much in the
same manner as you may occasionally see a
street commissioners man pushing the
water in the street cutters with his shovel.
These primitive appliances they have called
| draining machines. The fact is they have
never proved equal to the task of carrying
| off the superiuous rain water much less OF
| draining, so that when their services were
| of the most consequence they were power
less. 1t has often happened that the water
on the outside of the flood gates was three
and even four feet higher than on the in
side, and the engineer has had to throw in
| clnders to stop the leaks anu prevent the
water from running back as fast as it was
pushed out.
If it happened that the water in the lake
| was low, the effect of the sO-called draining
| machines was to push the water into the
space between it and lake, covering it with
water, as the southeast wind does from the
| lake, from which it will be seen that the
| title of draining machines is misnomer
They should be called what they really are,
| satursting machines.
The means of effectually protecting us
against this constant danger of inundation
| and its attendant evils-the nature and ex
| tent of the appliances necessary will
consider in another communication.

Sbakspeare Club.

The members of the Shakespeare Club
achieved another success on Monday night
last. 1t was their second entertainment of
the fifth annual series, upon which Ocea-
sion they performed the celebrated tragedy
of Macbeth This play, an eminent
writer has said, sis deservedly celebrated for
the propriety of its fiction, and solemnity
grandeur, and variety Of its action;' and
many of these points were brought out in a
striking degree by the amateur company
that performed it Monday night. The
play was rendered with LOckes original
music in the scenes of the witches. The
singing was thrilling, and served, in con-
nection with appropriate scenery, to make
a grand effect. The singing of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. A. Arnold was superior to anything
usually heard in the performance of MAC
BETH by regular companies. They are
both gifted with high order of musical
talent.
The two principal male characters in the
piece-Macbeh and Macauf-were ably
sustained by Mr.. George H. Braughn and
T. O'Neille. The Lady Macbeth of Miss
Z. O'Conner was ii very acceptable per
Torrance, though not rendered with suffi-
cient force to make it fully effective. This
lady is good in whatever she undertakes,
but she has not yet attained to sufficient
physical strength to excel in characters OF
this kind The piece, upon the whole, was
very creditably performed, and the anna
teurs succeeded in again filling the st
Charles with the beauty and fashion of our
,ity
