About the City.
Crushed by a Car.
Dumb Victim Left to Die from the
Effects Of His Injuries.

ing for life OF some poor creature who FER
haps, by the inscrutable dispensatiOn of
Providence are too poor even to receive the
medical aid which would save them from a
premature grave, or prevent their becoming
helpless cripples FIR the balance of their
days 1t is our sad duty, amid the many
items of news which fill our columns, to
chronicle the occurrence of one of the most
horrible and heartrending accidents that has
occurred in Our city for many days.
Two nights ago, while Mr.. Jack Asinus,
who by some freak of nature has been for
many years deprived Of the powers Of speech,
was vending his way hOmeward and being
buried in deep thought, was about crossing
the railroad track as car No. "a. Of the Cres-
cent City line, was coming along at full
speed, was knocked down. perfectly sense
less, the wheels Of the cars passing over his
legs and crushing them almost to pnlp.
Not being able to q We vent in words to the
agony he suffered, the groans that ever
and anon broke from him were enough to
curdle the blood and cause the most calOns
hearted to feel the deepest pity for his
misery.
Vain were the efforts of the many specta-
tors to gain any clue as to the home of the
sufferer; he could not explain where his lived,
and being uneducated, was unable even to
write the street where he lived. No one seem
ed to know him, and there he lay with the
cold and chilling night air frightening the
torture of his mangled limbs, which for
hours had been left without M dicnal as
sistance. Even as late as yesterday the poor
creature was lying on the side of the track
where the accident occurred.
Mr. AsiEus he ing very poor, and only earn
ing his living by daily toll, has now, in the
time of his misfortune, but few friends to
attend to his injuries. Bnt it is hoped that
the authorities will have that mule re-
moved from Chippewa street, as it has been
lying there for two days. and has become a
nuisance to the neighborhood

boys seemed quite disguised that they had
no fun or fire.
Pugilistic.
Henry Woods and Ben Stark had a quar-
last iaht nd Aafo
according to the rules of the prize ring
therefore they both repaired to the corner
Of MaraiS and Canal streets, where they got
into fighting trim, and waded into each
other in good style. There were two knock
downs for Wood and one for Stark, when
the police came to the rescue and took both
of the belllgerents to the First Precinct
Station, where they both regret the conse-
quences of their little spree.

A Watch Thief.
Mr.. Frank Smith took his lodgings last |
night at the Hood lodging house, on ST.
Charles street, just above Perdido. A short
time after he had retired, III discovered An
gelo Sabadina, the night Waterman, at the
head Of his bed, with his hand under the
pillow. Upon being questioned as to the
purpOrt of his business there and at that
hour he answered, II wish to get your
watch for safe keeping;" but MIR. Smith
deeming himself the best keeper of his own
property, politely dismissed the considerable
Angelo from his apartment, and thinking
that he would then be free from any
further acts Of kindness from the hands OF
his would-be benefactor, gave himself up to
the happy state Of forge ttulness, and was
lost in the land of dreams in a few minutes.
But what was his CONSERVATION to wake up
this morning and find that his watch and
chain had been distracted from his pillow.
Smith instantly suspected that Angelo had
carried out his intentions of the night be-
fore, and immediately questioning him upon
the subject, the confus on Of Angelo only
confirmed the belief that he had the watch,
and Mr.. Smith immediately had him ar
rested and lodged in the First Precinct Sta
ton.

On the corner of Drya1es and Gravier
