Local Intelligence.

Observation-Disclosures eleven and twelve
o'clock Thursday Right an attempt was
made to burn the frame house Of Mr.. d. E.
Purseli, corner of Dublin and Second
streets. Had not Officer Bensel discovered
smoke there would have been considerable
loss. Assisted by citizens, he exsinguished
the fire without sending an alarm. The
officer arrested Silas Moore as the incen-
diary, and accused does not deny the
charge, but says he accidentally threw
lighted match under the door step.
The alarm of fire sounded soon after six
o'clock yesterday morning was caused by
jug of coal oil firing up in bedroom Of
the house owned and occupied by William
Toineey, on Bayou road, between Where
and Robertson streets. 1t is thought that
the work was intentional. The loss was
trifing, serious results being prevented
because the family was out Of bed

CRIMINAL COURT.-The grand jury pre-
sented true bill against Gaetano. Rosa and
Rose Rosa, for arson, in setting fire to
building No. l4l Frenchmen street, wherein,
at the time, some persons were sleeping.
Gaetano is in 1.-THE Parish Prison without
bail. His wife is out on bail.
The case of Henry Smith, charged with
burglary and larceny, was continued until
the twenty instant.
f, Richard Carr, a British subject, arrested
for debt and confined in the Parish Prison
by Justice Baum, Of the Fourth Justice
Court, was discharged on writ Of habeas
corpus, on the application OF Colonel Rob
ert Dalton, who argued the case with much
ability. Colonel Dalton is a successful
criminal lawyer.
Mr. Allan Eustis, foreman of the Grand
Jury, reported to the court the following
case: On the last day Of January last, a
burglary was committed at the house of
DR.. Chastant. The police shortly after
ward found in the house of one Louis SOub-
erville, on Poydras street, three pieces Of
silverware, which were identified by the
owner. The latter made a charge before
Recorder Houghton, and the report charges
the Recorder with unnecessarily delaying
and postponing the examination, which
could have been carried on immedia tely, as
there was plenty of evidence to be heard at
once.
The Grand Jury has sent for the papers,
and Thursday indicted souberville on
true bill, who was arrested and released on
$500 bonds

and as a sequence a name must be gwen 1t
Some one in a happy mood suggested that
it be named Lady Larue, in honor OF M ISIS
Anna Larue, and the suggestion was
promptly adopted.
The machine is second class, silvered,

Mr.. j. Cotoya, secretary of the company.

been erected, and a goodly company as
sembled to participate. Father C. Moyni.
han was present, who, in a manner, spoke
for the handsome godmOther. A bottle Of
champagne was sprinkled over the steamer,
and she was christened the Lady Larue.
After the ceremonies and pleasant ex-
change of good feeling, the boys called on
several friends.
Among these they visited the residence
of Mr.. Joseph Goertz, the first assistant,
where their splendid silk flag was presented
by Misses Annie Stevenson, Margaret
Goertz, Mary Long and McClellen. The
flag is of beautiful blue silk, and inscribed

ANOTHER HoMICIDE.-Last evening, two
men, James Carroll and Wilkes BOdien,
entered into a personal quarrel, on the
levee, concerning a skif which had been
stolen from Carroll, and it had been
asserted that Bodien was the perpetrator.
Carroll, who is One-legged man, from
Louisville, Kentucky, was sitting quietly
on the Ievee, whiting bone, when BOdien
greeted him. Carroll repealed the advance.
Warm words passed between them, when
Carroll put up his knife and seemed in
clined to draw out of the controversy.
The quarrel was renewed and Carroll
picked up bit Of cord wood and struck
Bodien several blows on different parts of
his person, inficting severe wounds. The
police started to take Bodien to the Charity
Hospital, but he died on the way. Carroll
was arrested and locked up in the
first precinct station. He, before be-
ing made aware that Bodien was
dead, gave an extended statement of the
trouble, which would not be fair to publish
now. Accused is fisherman, his beat be-
ing near the mouth Of Red river, and de-
ceased pursued the same occupation, they
bringing their fish to this market. Accused
is a plain-looking man, and last night was
willing to talk about the affair to almost
anv extent, even to committing himself
He does not speak well Of Bodien's char
acter. Coroner Creagh Will hold an inquest
on the body to-day at the Charity Hospital,
when the real facts viii probably be devel-
ODed

Mrs. Williams suffered long time before

This would lead the public to suppose the

not the case, as the proceedings are those
ordinary to a Customhouse warehouse bond,
