A FALLEN HoUsE.-A proper report was
made to the city fathers that half burned
rouse at the corner of Toulouse and Dau-
phine streets was liable to tumble down
and crush somebody. Administrator
Brewster caused the matter to be invesu
gated, and learned that the report was
true. An attempt was made to lind the
owner. and after considerable trouble it
was learned that the property belonged TO
Christian Jacobs. who is now serving a
long term in the Penitentiary, having been
convicted of arson in firing this same
building. His wife was also convicted
with him and also sentenced to the Penl-
Tertiary, but as her condition is peculiar,
her sentence was changed to serve out in
the Parish Prison. The city will look after
that falling house.
