BRIEF MENTION.-Detectives have not
yet scented the two Frenchmen who SO
boldly swindled Mr.. Beltamoa.
A foreigner, with more money than sense,
visited the slums and was robbed OF 5000.
This loss SO confused his mind that he did
not stop to look or make a chalk mark by
which to find the place again. He narrated
his woes to a policeman, and an Ofhcer
etarted with him to hunt the thief, but he
could not sight the locality.
Captain John SchutZ, of the schooner
Ellen, was drowned in Lake Pontchartraln'
near Blind river. He accidentally fell over
board, and before the fact was made known
the unfortunate man was far beyond reach.
The body was recovered.
James Ward, member of Pelican Hook
and Ladder Company, Al giers, was seri-
-Ousy injured at the fire. A ladder tell on
him, and hook tore one arm:
A COW, supposed to be raving mad, was
killed by some citizens on st. Philip, near
Burgundy street.
Lucinda Christmas, three years old, was
badly burned at her home OH Howard. near
Jackson street. Playing with matches.
William Cook is in stew, as 1t is said he
maliciously ran his cart into an Orleans
street car.
fayette square, yesterday, without fear OF
getting red hot ball in their eyes.
The river here is about on standstill,
being almost five feet below high water
mark.
Vessels in port.-Fifteen steamships.
thirty-three ships, twenty eight barks, seven
briggs and twelve schooners.
The large room in the Customhouse looks
as if it will soon be complete.
About this time of the year look out for
boat clubs. The State Rowing Association
will be reOrganized.
Mr.. Dan Hckok has disposed of his in
terest in the Carrolltou Hotel.
Too Much DOG TO THE ACRE.-ThIs Is a
good year for the dog crop, and unless
reaper does not get in his work soon our
streets will be Overrun with villainOus and
worthless ours. Only few of these brutes
have owners, and many of those that are
owned are not fit to live; they are nuisances.
A few poisoned sausages, carefully planted
at night, would afford the needed re-
lief. Citizens are often tempted to shoot
yelping dogs, but they forbear. fearing that
their bullets might do more execution than
bargained for; policemen can not kill the
beasts, having no right to act. Occasionally
q street car takes the bark out of one, but
the death of a single whelp brings score to
the funeral. The City Council must make
law tOdecrease the number, and If an ordl-
nance is not soon adopted dogs will be so
numerous that they will outvOte mankind.
Messrs. Administrators, do something for
the people who wish to be rid of a danger
GUS element.
SUGGESTIVE INITIALs.-On the front side
of the State House, over each door, are the
initials rs. H." which were for the ST. Louis
Hotel Now that the building is used as
State House, ono would suppose that the
letters are out of keeping, but they come in
all right. S. l.. means State OF Louisiana.
A TERRIBLE BATTLE.-Friday several
persons from No liz st. joseph street were
before Judge Evans for disturbing the
peace, and were fined. Yesterday the par
ties quarreled again, when John Evans
seized an ak and struck Mary Campbell
with it, nearly cleaving her head. She was
sent to the Charity Hospital, almost dead.
Evans escaped, but Michael MahOney was
arrested as an accessory.
DEATH OF A STEAMBOAT WATCHMAN.-
Last Thursday William Fletcher. night
watchman for the steamboat Governor AL
len disappeared, which was not considered
ANYTHING very strange. as it was thought he
had found acquaintances in the city and
was enjoying himself. Friday evening one OF
the boats crew went into the hold for some
thing and there found the body of Fletcher.
Proper inquiry having been made it was
decided that the cause of death was disease
of the heart. Deceased came from lnde
pendence, Missouri, where his family re-
sides.
LARGE FIRE IN ALGIERs.-Fridav night
the dwellinghouse of Mr.. James Doyle, a
two story Frame on Elmira street, was en-
tirely burned. An adjoining house, owned

about 500 worth of fine goods.
WAREHOUSE UNLoCKED.-A policeman
last night found door of the Lafayette
warehouse unlocked and the key in the
hole. The place was attended to by an
officer. Had thieves taken advantage OF
this case the police would have been
blamed.
