AN IMPORTANT CONFERENCE.-THE Board
of Police Commissioners yesterday met the
City Administrators IN conference in the
Mayors parlor, the object being to discuss
police budget for the year just commenced.
The best feeling prevailed, and the subject
matter was freely discussed. 1t is probable
that the com missioners will manage to ma
terially decrease their expenditures, but
the reporter is unable to state particulars,
Quoted in privacy.
Police headquarters will be removed to
Davidsons Court, most likely by the end
of the present month, and the arrangement.
seems to be agreeable to the Board of Com
.,issioners, and the members can there have
offices which will be free from constant
Soises and understandable intrusions.

ANOTHER NIcTIa OF Coal OIL.-Between
swo and three o'clock yesterday morning
Officer Jenkins was attracted to a house at
the corner of Basin and Girod streets. by
the cries of a person as If in distress. He
forced the door, and it was well he did, for
on entering he saw a woman, whose cloth
ing was mass of fire, she running around
the room frantically. He did all he could
to assist the sufferer, and finally extin-
g1iahed the flames, then placing the untoc-

TREsPAss AND MALICIOUS MIscHIEf.-
Three gentlemen. whose native land is Gas.
cony. and whose names are jawbreakers,
were arrested on Metairie ridge yesterday
for malicious mischief and trespass. A
citizen having purchased a square OF
ground near the cemeteries, above Canal
street, fenced it in, which fact was con-
strued into a violation of the public good by
the Gascon milk and-water dealers living in
that section. They on two or more occa-
sions vented their spleen on the proprietor
by breaking down his fence to let their
COWS enter and browse. This naturally in.
Censed the owner, but as the Gascons were
a few too many for him in number, he was
forced to lay his complaint before Superin-
sendent Badger. The mounted police were
instructed to protect the proprietor at all
hazards, and yesterday they had some
swarm work. as the dairymen broke out
again, evidently prepared and willing to
back up their malice with violence. The
fence was broken and the cows turned in,
when the police took part in the trouble
Three of the intruders were arrested, one OF
them having broad ak which he proposed
70 use on man or beast that opposed him.
Judge Gernon will look at them to-day

THE new DRIVE To LAKE PoNTCHAR.
sRArN.--It does not appear to be generally
known chat the shell road out Orleans
street., through the City Park, is open to
the public, or that this drive is in excellent
condition for 6uggies and carriages. Ex-
cursionists will find on arriving at the lake
that they can drive over to either OF the
hotels at the end OF the new shell road. to
the railroad end or to Bayou st. John. Let
it be remem bered that this is the only free
route TO the lake-nO trouble or expense for
toll gates. The road bed is in nearly as
good condition as any that can be found,
and gentlemen who choose to rush their
$40 nags can do so without fear of stalling,
always remembering to keep to the right,
going or coming. The route is one Of the
most interesting within our city limits, be-
sides possessing the charm OF freshness.

THAT DROWNED MAN.-The body found
in the river below the Barracks. the throat
cut, has not been identified. DR.. jackson
examined the corpse, and arrived at the
conclusion that, although the cut was NOR
tai, death was caused by drowning. The
condition of the lungs proved that the un.
known man was drowned. Here is an in

UDper City Railroad.

Our city has, of late years, been steadily
increasing in width. More particularly is
this noticeable in the Fourth District.
While land, rents, houses and living gener-
ally has been cheaper back in the swamp
suburbs, drawback has been felt in the
way of ready access to their homes by resi-
dents of those localities. To supply this
want, number of public spirited citizens
have organized the Upper City Railroad
Company. The route of this railway will
be from the corner of Water and St. An.
drew streets out st. Andrew to Coliseum,
down Coliseum to Felicity, out Felicity to
Magnolia, up Magnolia to Jackson, out
jackson to Roman, up Rom an to Third
through Third to Water street, and along
Water street to the starting point.
The company has organized by electing
the following officers and directors: Presi-
dent, William Bogel: vice president, John
NJ. Wiemann, directors, Captain b. T..
Walshe, Messrs. Thomas Sheehan, James A..
Gresham, Samuel Manning Todd and E. H.
Adams.
We understand that considerable amount
has already been subscribed to this enter
prise, and in view Of the great need of
transverse transportation in the Fourth
District, we doubt not that successful
issue will be arrived at in a very short
time
