THE LOWE MURDER CASE.

The preliminary examination Of the Lowe
murder case commenced Monday morning
before the Second Municipal Court, Judge
Arthur ,Gastinel presiding.
The evidence for the State was the same as
given at the coroner's inquest.
The defense offered evidence tending to
prove alibis for several Of the accused.
After the evidence had closed, the Court
after due deliberation decided that case had
not been made out, and discharged all the &C
cused on the murder charge, but sent Mat
Gaiennie. VIM. Moran and Jas. Driscoll be-
fore the Superior Criminal Court, to answer
to the charge of highway robbery in stealing
the watch Of the deceased.
The full penalty of the law for highway
robbery, which the accused will no doubt re-
ceive if convicted, is fourteen years imprison-
ment at hard labor in the State Penitentiary
All the accused were however remanded to
the Parish Prison to await investigation OF a
charge pending against them in the First
Municipal Police Court. /4f

Fuller said she would see the girl after the
ball. .
After the ball was over Kate Miller left the
room in company with johnson. When she
came out Mary was standing on the banqnette
with crowd of boys unknown to Kate
They Jumped upon her, when she got away
from them and was on her way home when
Mary Fuller walked mp to her and asked i
she wanted to flight. Her reply was, 81 an

At that time man named Pcree jumped

it Mary, said, Kill her." meaning Kate Mil
Ter. Mary Fuller took the knife and plunged

mast four weeks and for the past ten days has
been occupied in the trial of one important
case. Counsel took three days to argue it,
during which they touched upon nearly every
point in the Code, the Reports, the Bible,
and wound up by citing Ivanhoe.
The late warm weather, or some other
cause. has been exciting our colored people to
deeds of violence here OF late NO less tnsn
three murders have been committed in our

one shot and killed the other. On the oppo

inability to pay fori it. "But I don't know

The newly projected enterprise by
which solid, clear, durable, wholesome ice is
to be furnished to our citizens at such price
that man might buy his weight in ice tor
forty cents, will be step towards a comfort
which may become as cheap as it is desirable.
At moderate expense for fuel we produce in
winter all the heated air necessary to MAKE
our stores, offices, public resorts, and dwell
lings comfortable. In the good time that is
coming, the lady of the house may have the
means to reduce the indoor temperature to

hours of the hottest days of summer, for an
expense not greater than what she finds re-
ouisite to make her rooms comfortable in the
coolest days Of winter. Cheap GOODNESS il

December, and when ice sells at the rate o
twenty pounds for nickel, it will begin t.
seem as easy to be obtained.
