4 A GOOD MAN CALLED AwAY.-The thou
bands Of friends of William K. Bell will sim
eereIy mourn his death. For many years
be led an active life, and was brought in
contact with our citizens when ne kept the
Davidson court is situated. His kind heart
you'd never permit his open hands to re-
fuse charity; to assist the needy gave him
Solid satisfaction, but he never allowed his
right hand to know what his LETT was do
ing. All who knew him intimately will
mourn his death as deeply as they would
that of a relative. He was native of Scot
land, sixty years old, and never forgot the
land of his birth, though great admirer of
the lard he adopted for his home. Mr..
Bel died in St. Louis on the third instant.

day held an inquest, at which the following
testimony was obtained:
Joseph Gassett-Four or six weeks ago,
while the Robertson School was at recese, l
was on the stairs; the boys were playing
fate: deceased, Leon Loustenau said, Look
what have got for my lunch;' then saw
Joseph Boxell strike Leon with crutch;
he struck him on the side; he did it because
Leon would not give him some lunch: after
he was struck Leon SAID he would tell Mr..
Wingall, principal of the school; deceased
cried.
William Enderlin-About month and a
half ago was at the Robertson School;
during recess l was in the yard; Boxell
asked Leon for bit of his lunch; Leon re-
fused to give it because he had only enough
for himself Leon started to go off, when
Joseph struck him in the stomach with a
crutch; then Leon said he intended to in
form the principal and he told him; Leon
never attended school after that
Henry Suldan-Joseph asked Leon for
some bread and was refused; Leon ran of;
it was at that time that Joseph struck him
with crutch.
The jury handed in verdict to the effect
that Leon LOustenau came to his death at
the hands of Joseph Boxell, and an affidavit
was made against accused. He was not
arrested at dark last evening. These par
ticulars we're carefully gathered. as reports
about the matter have been conflicting and
erroneous.

DEATH OF A SCHooLBoY.-On the thir-
teeDth of May two lads, Leon Loustenau
and Joseph Boxell, both pupils in the Rob-
ertson public school, corner of Robertson
and Bienville streets, INDUCED in quarrel.
Young Boxell, who has lost one leg, is
said to have an irritable temper, and, like
many overgrown schoolboys, domineered
over his weaker companions, On this par
ticular occasion young Loustenau was eat
ing his lunch and refused to give portion
of it to Boxell, which excited the latter,
when he struck Leon with his crutch. Mr..
Wingall, the principal. was informed; but
as Leon did not return to school the case
was quite forgotten, and, if remembered,
was thought Of only as an ordinary school
boy quarrel. Leon was soon afterward
taken sick, aud died last Saturday.
Dr. Touatt attended, and furnished GER
tifcate declaring that cause of death was
peritonitis. This did not suit some persons,
who desired to have an inquest held. DR..
Schumacher, city physician, held an autopsy
laet Sunday, and then there began confu-
zion in the minds of several. who reported
conflicting stories. Coroner Grayer yester-

No MORE TROUBLE FROM THAT SOURCE
Dealers in poultry who cruelty tied chick.
en- legs, restaurateurs who violently turned
smiling turtles on their backs, dalrymen
who unrighteously desire to retain that
which belongs to them, have recently
smiled all over their faces, because they
think that the preventers of cruelty to AMI
mails are dead-5roke. One of the society g
enemies, who must be something of wag,
Yesterday emitted a bit of ridicule that
may result in duel The society had q
letter box-sO called for want OF more
elegant name-in the front room at police
Headquarters, which was removed soon
after Judge Cullom rendered well known
decision. Where that box hung are now
several sheets of paper on which are written
the worst kind Of obituaries, some of them
illustrated. A black rag serves for mourn
full Grape, over which hangs dOleful dirge.
A CITY should not be cursed with two
grandeurs at one time, so it became neces-
sary tor the comet to change its course or
the above named association to die. The
comet has come, and several lieutenant
colonies are full OF wO. 1t is even said that
the society was so cruel as not to pay some
of its just debts, but, OF course, that Is
scandal.
This recital brings to mind an incident
which occurred several weeks ago. The
society was liberal in comforting honorary
badges and sent one too many, neatly folded
in an explanatory note. The writing was pas
sable but the spelling was actually cruel.
The recipient did not feel battered at such a
compliment, so he and friend pawned the
badge at bar for two drinks. Before the
lemonades found unfathomable caverns
three other men entered and said they'd
takesugari in theirn." The price of five drinks
was registered on the note, and it was init
mated that any one who wished to redeem
the trinket could do that by hquidating the
account. 1t has been stated that the society
settled and carried off the badge.
For some cause this society became very
unpopular. and all sorts of men tried TO
cough it down. 1t was not because our
people are opposed to a proper system to
prevent cruelty to animals, for IN former
times there were prominent instances
where citizens arrested men guilty OF
cruelty to brutes, and the violators were
punished.

BOILER BURsT.--One of the fues in one
of the Melpomene street draining machines
burst last Monday morning, but injured
nobody. Last Saturday the smoke stack
of this machine was blown down, conse-
quently, with two such misfortunes, the
machine has been so disabled that work
was temporarily suspended. However,
work will be resumed in a day or two. The
result of these accidents has been the food
ing of that section of our city, as the great
quantity Of rain which fell Saturday and
Sunday could not be sent off. People fiv-
ing in the rear of the Ninth street canal,
and along Washington avenue, were COM
PEELED to leave in boats. The loss has been
considerable, and the damage serious. All
gardens few squares back of Keller mar
ket are ruined.
