From the New orleans Times, Oct, 2o.l
Sunday morning, at 71s o'clock, on
.ha arr;yal of the steamship Louisiana,
"ttbe State Line, plying between Liver
oaol Bordeaux and this port, large
pisow3 puU3 assembled at the landing, Post
,,reet Third District, drawn thither by
on instructive curiosity that naturally
attaches to fresh arrivals from distant
norts Particularly was this apparent
yesterday morning as the vessel ap-
nroachei the pier, attributable to the
,act that it was Sunday, and there were
many people at leisure to fill the ranks
Of lockers on.
Scarcely had the hurry incident to the
,nooring of the ship subsidized than many
~ the passenger hurried forward, anx-
inrs To set foot again on terra f11na. Fol-
LIVING several of the eager passengers,
and accompanied by ayoung man and
two young girls, was young woman
nIai1ly but neatly attired and passably
handsome. who, apparently as joyous as
anv tripped lightly down the gangway
10 The wharf, across which she. with her
companions, pursued their way. They
had made scarcely more than twenty
stems from the end of the staging when
man rushed forward, and, facing the
four addressed word to the young
,yoman. which in moment he followed
m Inv an oath and a stab, and with a
Wild Shrek she threw her arms up and
faIl backward A demon appeared to
have possessed the man, for drawing the
large sAeath-knife from the breast into
which he had buried it to the handle, he
daliyered another thrust, but this was
oiyen as the young woman was falling,
md the reach was short, hence the point
of the terrible weapon entered but about
IN inch.
THE infuriuted father was arrested,
and to the police related his account of
the affair
THE FATHER 8 STORY.

tive of France, and was reared in vii
Mge III the vicinity Of Strasburg, where
he remained until the year 1866, Just
prior to which his wife died. He is the
hther of six children. four of whom are
now in Paris, one, boy of nineteen
Years, in California, and Caroline, the
one who came to such tragic end yes
tsrday
IL 1866 he landed in New York, where
he remained but short time. Leaving
there he iourneyed to Cincinnati, and
thence to St. Louis. After year, prob
ably, he made his way to San Francisco,
where he remained until last October.
During his stay in California he accumu-
lated about "a, 900, in various ways, most
Of the time keeping bar. His saloon in
that city was on Dupont street, No. 1917,
near Broadway.
4 little over one year ago he sold out
Lis interest in his business there, his in
tendon being to go back to France and
get his daughter Caroline, and come to
this city, where he designed establishing,
in conjunction with friend who was to
have come on from San Francisco, q
brewery. This friend, a baker, was the
betrothed Of his daughter, he tHugel)
having made the match before leaving
France.
Accordingly, the matter having beer
settled between him and the baker, ht
left San Francisco on the 18th day OF las
October, and went thence to Sidney Aus
tralia, whence he journeyed, after thu
lapse Of some months, to La Belle France
and TO his old home near Strasburg. Hi
daughter, whom he had left quite a child
he learned had gone to Paris, and wa
in the service Of wine merchant in th
capacity of servant.
He eventually found her, and few
weeks ago they left Hayre and steame'
for Southampton, whence they went (
Liverpool to meet New York steamer
He knew but little of his daughter, hav
ing been with her but a short time, an,
be was greatly shocked to note that sh
became exceedingly familiar with som
passengers on the boat during the tri
from Hayre to southampton, particular
with couple Of young Frenchmen VIII
were also on their way to America, Ne
Orleans being their objective point alst
The fact of their great familiarity wa
observed by every one on the steame
and
HE DEMONSTRATED WITH HER
On several occasions, none of which 81
appeared to heed. After taking passas
on the steamer Louisiana (steerage pa
sage at Liverpool, he watched her a
tlons closely, and several times caugl
her on the deck with one or the other
the young men, when he would drive b
below to herberth. He was sorely griev,
to find that his daughter was not incline
to obey his counsel, but he waited p
uently, hoping eventually to get her
this city, where she would be taken fro
the presence of those for whom she h
evlnced an infatuation, but, as the vo
age neared its close, the girl told hi
natly that on landing she intended
leave him. Saturday night, as the W
sci was on the way up the river, /
daughter asked him to give her sor
money, which he refused peremptori
10 do, lnasmuch as he knew she desir
the funds for no other purpose than tt
OF eifectins her expressed design of lea
ing him on reaching port. Finding til
NE would not give up one cent of
money, she attempted to snatch it frc
him. Brooding over the trouble &C
SANITY on the voyage, he became tows
the last really i'll, and felt that he wor
rather, much rather, see his daugh
dead thousand times than to see |
