The Case Of Frank Larkin-

NEW ORLEANS, July lotn, 1874
For the last few days there has been SAD |
and mournfal family of five helpless children
on Felicity Road, and yesterday funeral
cortege bore off to the graveyard the corpse OF
the father of these little ones amid their sad
cries and bitter lamentations. On whose
strong arm will they now depend FOR food'
clothing, and shelters To whom Will these
little ones now look for aid and advice
Bereft of o mothers care some time ago, ana
now, through gross inattention end careless
ness, their father, Frank Larkins is rushed
into the presence of his Maker, without one
last goodbye to his little ones. Now the
worldly outlook is to them indeed dreafy
blank Who should be answerable to these
in nocents for the irreparable loss they nave
| sustained Who are answerable for their Do
reavementi Let the facts be plainly stated.

| forfeited in this Same cu1pab1e mauners how
many others have come near stepping of into
| the river on the Aigiers side on dark night
Is there any reason why proper precaution
| Ehouid not be taken TO protect the lives OF
persons crossing, or do they pay their 'erryage
to run a risk of certain death. On the Canai
street side there is O large space that may be
discerned SO that q possible chance may Dc
given a person, aided Eby the dim lights fur
nished by the Ferry Company; at AIgiers 1t
in different; there the waitiDg-rooms are 80
close to the waters edge that many have near
met Larkin's fate, and some, like him. have
been epRulphed in the meIciless waters Have
these Ferry Companies no liabilities Do they
not know that each landing should be made to
appear like the other, 30 that SO fearful mis-
take as this should not occurf Why have they
not q railing to protect passengers from such
fearful accidental
Why are not these Ferry landings protested

that they shall be forced to contribute some

lied body of men whatsoever, whose members
blindly bind themselves to obey and carry out

Christ himself, diyinely inspired by Him,

in person. Either the church is this or
it is nothing, or worse than nothing. an

Detective McCune last night arrested
a negro named George Washington, on
the charge of robbing the boot and shoe
store Of Zellner & Co., on Main street,
near Gayoso, which burglarious event
took place some weeks since. Yesterday
Mr.. Zellner discovered pair Of shoes be-
longing to him on the hoofs OF Washing
ton, and questioned him about them.
Later in the day Washington went to
Miller's shoe store and purchased pair
of shoes like unto those on his feet, and
got Mr.. Miller to date the receipt for
payment back to before the time when
the Zellner robbery took place. This
ruse, which the father of his country
would never have thought Of, the modern
Washington carried out, and when ar
rested produced his receipt for the pay
ment. Detective McCune, being rather
suspicious, investigated the matter and
detected the plot. Washington was
brought before Recorder Winters to-day,
and was committed in default of $4,000
hail.
