FLYING HIGH-There is talk that some
OF the members of Creole No. feel in
clined to 60 for Eagle No. 7, since the last
named machine made her Niagara squirt.
OF course No has a good thing in her

would like to profit by it-tinancially. The
Eagles. fly high among the dollars, and
think they will lay $4,000 that their pet has,

A GRADER GRABBED.-John Sanders is
not afraid of work; he can stand on the
levee week after week and gaze at men
honestly toiliDg and not be hart. He can
bang around barrel house, drink rified
whisky by sponging on others, and occa-
sionally do worse. Alex Vedall was so silly
as to enter n barrel house on Old Levee
street and take hand at cards. While he
was so engaged Sanders grabbed his wallet,
containing about S., and fed. He is now
in the tolls, and yesterday Judge Gernon
sent him to the Criminal kCourt. Accused
tried the alibi dodge, but the court up
tripped him.

lad discovered bunole in a vacant lot
at the corner of Annette and Claiborne
streets, and his curiosity induced him to
make an inspection. The bundle was the
body of dead infant, wrapped in papers
and muslin. An inquest was held and a
verdict of infanticide returned. Death was
probably caused by exposure during Mon
day night. The child was only a few days
old. William Kash, a boy, was arrested as
the one who placed the child in the lot.
This circumstance will probably lead to the
discovery of The parents.

INCENDIARIsM IN CARRoLLToN.-Just af-
ter twelve o'clock Monday night a couple
OF frame houses on the levee, near St. Mary
street, CarrOlltOn, were burned down, in
volving a loss of about $1,000. The fire
broke out in an unoccupied one-story frame
building, owned by Fred MINK, and from
this extended to an adjoining one-story
frame, owned and occupied by Ester Fulton,
both of which were destroyed, despite the
efforts OF the Carrollton fire companies to
suppress the flames.
Mr.. Munks house was valued at $1,000,
and to him is a total loss, there beng no in
eurance on it, The other was valued at
5000, and is insured in the Carrollton In
surance Company. 1t is believed that the
houses were fired by an incendiary.
These houses were hardly burned before
another fire was discovered in an unOccu-
pied one-story frame house, at the corner of
Short and Levee streets, owned by Mr..
William Shredder, which had evidently
been fred purposely by some unk nown per-
son. Fortunately, the private Waterman at
Fischer's saw mill discovered the incipient
flame, and without much difficulty extin-
guisbed it. This property is insured in the
CarrolltOn Insurance Company for $4,000.
