Local Intelligence.

A CONVICT KILLED.-There is a rumor
that last week Joseph Hugel, a convict, out
in a working gang attempted to escape, and
while fleeing was killed by guard. Hugel
is the man who, about two years ago, landed
here with many other immigrants from
France. During the voyage his daughter,
pretty and interesting girl, was sednced
by passenger and she became infatuated
with him. He agreed to marry her on
arriving here. and the rest is the same old
story. Before leaving the ship the father
learned of his child's disgrace, and he for
babe her having anything more to do with
the fellow, but che disobeyed him, and just
az they were about to land she told her
father that she intended to 60 with the
lover. Hugel excitedly told her that if she
persisted he would kill her. She was de
termined on her course, and as she was
about to leave the father drew long
butcher knife and stabbed her to death.
He was arrested and convicted of man
slaughter, not having single day of liberty
in the land he had sought for that precious
boon

New Orleans, August 10, 1875.
To the City Council of New Orleans:
Irtturn, without my approval, IAN ordi-
nance providing for the payment OF the sew
eral pay rolls therein named"
This is an ordinance for the payment of
the sanitary and municipal court police off
GERS, in accordance with the provisions Of
act No Is, approved March "a, 1875.
The payment of the 90 officers, who are, in
fact, only details from the police, was con.
tested by the city, but several of them hav-
ing obtained from the Superior District
Court q mandamus, which compelled the
Council to place them upon the pay rolls
for the amount of their salaries tor the
month of May. the order was obeyed, with
the proviso added, "that the amounts to be
paid be charged against the police sppro-
pristion."
This ordinance was, I presume. passed by
you to avoid fur her litigation, which is now
useless, as the same legal means would
probably be again employed to compel pay
ment but the proviso for the payment from
the police appropriation having been omit
ted from the ordinance. return it TO you
for reconsideration and amendments.

WILL BE CAUGHT seph Cantanille,
the young man who was trusted by Mr..
William Walsh with check for $1,000, has
been heard from. After he obtained the
money tor the check he took passage on the
steamboat James Howard. and informed
one of his scquaiutances that he was of
for California. As soon as it was learned
that Csntanille had proved untrue to the
trust teposed in him dispatch was sent to
Baton Rouge to arrest him, but the boat
had passed when the telegram reached tina t
point, and answer was returned that the
embezzler was not on board. Yesterday
morning the captain of the Howard found
that Csntanille was on the boat, and tele
graphed that he would have him arrested
at Cairo. 1t is not likely that the youngster
has disposed of much of the money.

IN UNIMPORTANT ARREsF.-Last night a
eolored man hired cab and went around
the city to look at tho sights and regale
himself according to his fancy. He was at
tired in new clothing, and was evidently a
stranger. Stopping in front of disreputa.
BILE house, he was closely watched by police
men, who suspected that he was a crooked
man. The stranger announced that he had
plenty of money to pay his way, and was
somewhat independent. Suddenly two Off
GERS bounced ON him and arrested him. The
man was naturally frightened at such q
proceeding, and lost no time in draw
ing his revolver, which he seemed
perfectly willing to use, and per-
haps would have fired had he not
been overpOwered. He was taken to 20.
lice headquarters, whore he was closely
questioned, and being greatly excited could
not answer clearly, further than to say that
he was soldier of regiment in Texas and
had a furlough. which document was in his
trunk. On searching him belt with
gOodly sum of money in it was found and
an honorable discharge from the army was
pulled out of a pocket. This paper showed
that he had enlisted in'July, 1870, and his
time was up last month, with character
marked good" So he was not a convict,
deserter, refugee, nor was there anything
against him to show that no was guilty of
crime. He was chucked into prison, and
hOw asks where his remedy is.

The Washington Market.

In the Circuit Court yesterday Judge Cartier
ordered a certiorGri to be issued in the case of
the Washington Market Company against the
Commissioners Of the District of Columbia to
bring up the question as to the legality of the
proposed sale Of certain property to satisfy GER
tain certificates issued for special improve ments
The petition filed by Mr.. J. H. Bradley sets forth
that the market company are lessees OF piece of
avenues, b, Seventh and Ninth streets which
they have improved by large and costly build
ing; that Pennsylvania avenue was improved by
wooden pavement, to be paid for by an assess
ment on the property of individuals by the
United States as to its property bordering there
on, and by the corporation Of Washington as to
the crossing of streets and avenues that Louisi-
ana avenue and Pennsylvania avenue intersect
each other at Eighth street, and from where the
north line OF Louisiana avenue intersects the
south line Of Pennsylvania avenue and Ninth
street the lines diverge, making a triangle
with Ninth street, space reserved by the Gov
eminent, and which is still the properly of the
TONERS does not touch Pennsylvania avenue at
any point west Of Eighth street, and netWith-
standing these premises their property has been
assessed with the burden Of taxation for the i'm
proyement from the east line Of Eighth street
to the east line of Ninth street; that they have
paid the tax for that part between Seventh and
Eighth streets, although they deny that their
property is subject TO such tax. They state that
the certificates have been issued and are in DOS
session of the First National Bank OF New York,
which has required the Commissioners to sell, but
the latter have suspended the sale by reason Of
an agreement between the bank and petitioners.
This agreement is that the proposed sale to sat-
tsfy the certificates for $40 81 shall be post
poned on condition that the company shall pay
that portion Of the assessment arising from paw
iIg the Avenue from the west line of Seventh
street to the point where the south line Of LouIs-
ana avenue intersects with Pennsylvania avenue
and that the liability OF the company shall be de.
teTmined by writ Of ceTfioTGri by the Supreme
Court of the District Of Columbia, to which form
OF process no objection shall be interposed; and 1t
snail De pressed TO speedy decision, each party
waving the right Of appeal from the decision,
providing it be the unanimous opinion OF the
court, and in the meantime there shall DO no at
tempt to sell the market grounds. This agree
ment is signed by W. A. Cook for the First Ma
tional Bank OF New York, and W. E. Chandler
for the Market Company. The petitioners aver
that the said assessment was a quasi judicial act
and It was illegal and void. They therefore pray
the writ.
