THE CITY DRAINAGE.
A RARE CHANCE FOR THE CITY.

We learn that to-day the contract and
dredge boats belonging to the Mexican
Gulf Canal Company will be offered for
sale by the Sheriff, to satisfy a judgment in
favor Of the State, obtained against that
corporation, for some eighty thousand dol
lars 1t will be borne in mind that the
Mexican Gulf Canal Company has large
and profitable contract with the city for
dredging and building the drainage canal.
1t amounts to millions of dollars, and is a
burdensome charge upon the tax payers of
New Orleans. In view, then, of this oppor-
tunity offered, wonld it not be wise and
profitable for the city to purchase this con-
tract and take entire charge of the drainage
business? 1t is claimed that the work can
be done for less than is charged by the
COMPANY.

A q. s. Soldier Makes Two Attempt
to Commit Suicide.
He Takes Morphine and Hangs
Himself.
His Written Statement.

One John Mcdonald, yonng man about
"a years of age, and a native of Ireland, who
belongs to the 10Th Regiment U. S. Infantry
now stationed at the Jackson Barracks,
in this city, made an attempt to end
his life at Freds eating saloon, 1OG ST.
Charles street, by swallowing a large dose
of morphine, but was foiled in this attempt
by the officers, who discovered what he had
done, before the poison had taken effect.
He was then sent to the Charity Hospital,
where by medical treatment he was relieved
but still seeming to care nothing for his
life. He made a second attempt about two
hours after by
Hanging Himself
to piece of plank attached to aN awning
post opposite the premises 81 ST. Charles
street, but had not been suspended long
when an officer discovered him dangling in
the air and cut him down, when Mcdonald
was taken to the First Precinct Station to
prevent another attempt at selt-destruction
but this morning desperation seemed to seize
upon him once more when he attempted to
Beat His Brains Out
against the prison bars. The officers in
charge of the station, with the assistance of
others, were compelled to tie Mcdonald
to put an end to his life if left to himself.
SO great seems the fury of the unfortunate
man that no one will venture into his cell
alone: but from his conversation his mind
seems well balanced, though his actions
give evidence of some alteration of the
mind. Below will be seen a letter written
by the unhappy creature before he attempt
ed to take his life, and which he gave into
the hands OF the police after his arrest:
Letter From Mcdonald.
l, John Mcdonald, surrendered myself on
the 9th of December, 1873, under the late
order lin regard to deserters) at the Jackson
Barracks, N. O. l was formerly of the 18th

at the above mentioned Barracks, | am a
Christian and not Dig, and would rather
die than be treated as | have been for the
past four months, | have been worked with
ont rest every day of my life, and get no
satisfaction from any one. Whatever am
to do? l have tried to do everything but
now have given up all hopes and would

past four months, have been refused every
thing so l hope the Lord will have mercy
upon my soul and may my wife forgive me.
Please notify the commanding officer of
the 10Th U. S. Infantry, at the Barracks to
take charge of my body have a wife and
children in Texas. God bless them.
JOHN MCDONALD.
The city authorities have sent for squad
of United States soldiers to remove the
poor creature from the station, where he
now lies in perfect frenzy tied to the
floor of n cell

The Jurors who were on the Tichborne
case have petitioned the Treasury Lords to
consider the pecuniary sacrifices which they
had to make in attending this interminable
trial, and to grant them a corresponding
compensation. 1t appears that with one
single exception they are all engaged in
business, and their long absence has resulted
in every instance in greater or less pecuni-
airy loss. They applied, therefore, to the
Treasury to allow them two guineas a day
instead Of E lbs Sd, the customary fee. But
though one of the jurymen has been robbed
of large amount by some employees during
his absence, and another has been compelled
to sell a valuable business which could not
go on except under the masters eye, the
request was refused. The London papers
papers accuse the government of an ill-timed
parsimony, for it is obvious that the English
jury system does not contemplate the re-
quirement of such sacrifices as must inevita-
bly, result from BRIDESMAIDS enforced with.
drawal from his affairs for nearly zoo dave.

Our New Markets.

1t is many years since such a spirit OF
energy and enterprise has been evinced like
that shown in the building of the Second
Street Market which is one of the hand
soonest in the city. A waste place where
there were few habitatlons has been made
a new centre of trade, and the property sur
rounding has enhanced in value one hun
dred per cent. 1t affords MS pleasure to
chronicle such a success, especially so when
one of our citizens is the originator. Mr..
Joseph Raymond, our market king, has,
after the completion of the above, set about
relieving the people Of the Third District,
and has set on foot and finally effected its
Endorsement by the Administrators.
The Third District Market.
Here is another evidence of enterprise.
Mr.. Raymond has been made cognizant of
the need Of the people below Canal street
for market. He went to work. and after
some delay, has now secured its building
on the neutral ground of Washington
Avenue, near st. Claude street.
The binding is to be l44 feet by A, with
heavy foundations On the roof is to be
large reservoir, holding 100000 gallons of
water, placed there for the purpose of pro-
tecting the lower district. The ordinance
for building the above was passed by the
Administrators yesterday, and we have to
congratulate Mr. Jos. Raymond on his sue
cess. The market when finished will present
fine appearance. The estimated cost is
49,, goo.
If we had few more gentleman of tact,
energy and enterprise like Mr.. Raymond,
the future of our city would be assured.

ANOTHER CASE.


While the sad scene above given was being
worked out, another equally as bad was intrusted
to the care of Detectives MeDevitt and Miller for
unraveling. A week ago letter was received ut
headquarters, signed by POOR and respectable
woman residing in the western section Of the city
stating that her daughter, aged fourteen, was
associating, from the Information she had re-
ceived, in lswd society, and begging that her
whereabouts might be discovered and she re-
turned 10 her mother. With no facts to work
upon, the detectives visited the few restaurants
which women and young girls frequent at night

they were In search. 1t was found that, although
young, she had moved around At rapid rate.
