HEAVY DEFALCATION.
He Waits Not For The Wagon,
But Goes by Rail With
$4,000.

The cashier of the st. Louis and Chicago
Railroad Company, Mr.. Walter H. Waite
failed to put in an appearance at his Office.
The surprise of the officers of the road was
not very great, as they had for some time past
looked forward to such an occurrence.
On the 10Th of August last it was discov-
cred that the cashier was delinquent in a
large amount. He was then told that if he
would properly repair the wrong the matter
should be kept "sub rosa" His promise
was given to that effect, and he transacted his
business as usual till Friday evening last,
when it was discovered that out of $4,000 of
the days receipts the cashier had hypothe.
Gated $1,000 and left the Crescent City for
parts unknown.
After his taking of leave was positively be.
ieved mis- books were examined, when a dis
crepancy of $14. 900 was discovered to exist
The company are not a whit exercised upon
the subject, but seem satisfied that they can
recover the losses from the cashiers sureties
and make them bring the fugitive to justice.
The rules of the company require surety for
all employees, and though Mr.. McComb, in
the instance of this defaulting cashier, deemed
it unnecessary, the rules were complied with,
to the good fortune of the company. Had
Waite done the right thing the compan y
would never have exposed his dishonesty, but,
as is always the case, murder will out"

THE HEALTH OF PENSACOLA.

4 representative of the BULLETIN last even
ing had the pleasure of meeting Dr.. Stein
burg, United States Army, at the St. Charles
Hotel, now passing through the city on his
way North, on leave of absence. The Doc
tor is Just from Fort Barrancas and Pensacola,
where he was present through the yellow
fever excitement devoting his time to the
sick. He says that no fever appeared at Fort
Barrancas until the bark Won Moltke arrived.
She anchored about five hundred yards to the
windward of the fort, and it is supposed the
germs of the disease were waited in.
At Pickens, Barrancas and Pensacola the
last patient is now and has been for some
days convalescent, and the health of those
places extremely good. The uneasiness once
felt by the citizens has been entirely dis
PEELED, and trade has about assumed its old
channels. Every precaution is taken, how
ever, to keep everything in as clearly con-
dition as possible, in order that nothing may
be left undone to secure in the future en-
tire immunity from the inroads Of any
disease.

THE GREENFIELD MONSTER.
Negro Fight and Cutting at a
Breakfast Table.

One Mary Green, who was released from
the Parish Prison Wednesday morning, hav.
ing served ten days for fighting and disturb
ing the peace, upon getting out proceeded to
to Fosters Rice Mills, corner of Julia and
Magazine for her husband who accompanied
her to their abode, 60 Julia street, a few doors
from the mill.
The pair sat down to breakfast, and during
the meal, while Adam Green's attention was
drawn away, Mary took a case knife from the
table, and rushing upon her husband, said
"You ---, this is for not taking me
out of prison." whereupon she began 10 slash
right and left until she succeeded in cutting
and wounding him in the left arm.
He then ran out of the house and calling
Officer Moran, caused his wife to be arrested
and conducted to the Central Station. Adam
Green then made affidavit against Mary,
charging her with cutting and wounding.
According to Mary's version she is as limo
cent as lamb. She says that she had been
in the Parish Prison. and when she got out
went to meet her husband, and they then
proceeded home; that her husband told her
to come up stairs, and she said all right; he
said come now, and they began to fight, when
he slapped her and she cut him, and that she
is an injured woman, for while she was in
prison her husband made love to other ladies,
and she was jealous.

The Eisenmaker Family Row.
The Ear. Biting Case Before Judge
w. L. Evans.

Virginia Anderson, who, on the Goth day OF
August last, had terrific fight with the
Eisenmaker family and one Seigel, who bit of
the ear of Mrs. Eisenmaker and did severe
damage to several other members of the family,
appeared before Judge Evans Wednesday, for
trial.
The evidence, both for the defense and
prosecution, revealed the fact that Virginia
Anderson was not the aggreesor, but the ag-
crossed, as she had only gone to the house Of
Eisenmaker to claim her furniture, when she
was set upon by the whole family, whereupon
she fed to neighbours house, and was pur-
sued by the family. who even went into her
room and drove her from thence into the gal
lery, and there attempted to throw her over
the railing and kill her, and that then only
did she, in self-defense, attack her assailants,
and bite Mrs Eisenmaker's ear off and inflct-
ed injuries upon Others.
Judge Evans renewed the whole testimony
carefully, and after due deliberation stated
that he thought Virginia Anderson, though
brutal in her mode of fighting, was justifabe
owing to the danger in which her life was
placed, and that in his opinion had she used
under the circumstances even more violent
means of defense she could not have been
convicted by any court. Consequently he
was compelled to discharge the prisoner.

Colonel Baker.
A VERY MEAN TRICK, IF TRUE.

[London Correspondence of the Liverpool Post. ]
1t is said that on the day when Colonel
Baker was caught in his disgraceful assault
upon Miss Dickinson, and after he had given
his name and address to his captors, he went
off to certain very special, and, believe,
annual mess dinner of the Tenth Hussars
The occasion is high day in the regi ment,
and is usually attended by distinguished
members of the army as invited guests. On
this occasion one of the invited guests is said
to have been his Royal Highness the Com
mander-in-Chief. The dinner passed eff
brilliantly, as usual, and in the course of the
proceedings it is stated that the Duke OF
Cambridge proposed the health of Colonel
Baker, expatiating enthusiastically on the
Colonels prowess and eminence in his pro-
fession.
II is also stated that before the proceedings
were over Col. Baker was selected to have the
honor of proposing the health of the Duke OF
Cambridge. and his Royal Highuess respond
ed very graciously to the compliment. Ali
this time not word was said of the Colonel
having been in any trouble. 1 am informed
that it was not until next day that the Duke
of Cambridge, upon arriving at his Office,
learned from the morning papers the awk-
ward position in which his conuiue of the
previous evening had been placed by his own
misconduct. His Indignation may be con-
ceived, but hitherto all the utmost efforts OF
those who witnessed it have been poor and
inc tfrctual to describe its vehemence. His
Royal Highness is well known to be as out
spoken in his wrath as he is generous in his
temper, and the language in which he ex-
pressed his opinion of the affront which had
been put upon him, l am informed, was, to
say the least of it, very plain and forcible.

THE CITY ENJOINED.
The Mobile and Texas Railroad
Wants to Lay a Track on the
Levee, and They Lay it.

Tuesday a new move was taken in The
question pending between the city of New
Orleans on the one hand, and the Mobile and
Texas Railroad on the other, relative to the
right of building, laying tracks, operating
and maintaining railway on the levee. be.
tween Pile and Julia streets, the landing
place and the river.
This road would run close to the wharves,
and the city thought it might seriously in.
convenience commerce. Now it appears the
railroad company have taken the initiatory
legal steps. and yesterday through their at
torneys, Hon. John A. Campbell and H. G.
Dibble, Esq, filed an application for an in
junction before Judge Hawkins, of the Su-
perior District Court.
They ask that the city be restrained from
interfering with them in any manner what
soever i'll the progress of their work in build
ing the tracks in front of Julia street, and
pray that they be maintained in the enjoy
ment of the right of traffic after the road is
completed.
The petition was served Thursday morning
on Administrators Landry and Burke.
Following up the Injunction,
the company last night had a large force of
laborers On hand, and at an early hour starte
to work to lay the track in question.
The force, between seventy and eighty in
number, started from Pile street, and worked
down to Julia. Some twenty with picks and
spades led, and marked out and graded the
road bed, and behind came others with
~ hnec <ha s1c ~A.i1
others who laid the rails. They worked
by the light of bonfres and lanterns,
and worked rapidly. A locomotive was
on hand and in position to run over the track
as soon as it was completed.
The objections urged to this track are that
it will seriously in erfere with the Mississippi
Valley Transportation pany's wharf and
prevent drays and floats from receiving and
discharging loads.
Toe first attempt to lay the track was made
about three weeks ago, and was stopped by
NJ ijor Burke, Administrator Of Improvements.
The road petitioned the Council tor the privi-
iege to lay the track, and the petition was re-
fused and legal steps as above recorded were
taken.
Col D. B. Robinson, superintendent of the
road, in conversation last night, stated that
the new track was intended to take the place
of an old one which had been down for some
time; that, in fact, it Was merely removal Of
The old one some twenty feet nearer the
levee; that the Mississippi Valley Transporta-
ton Company did not object, aud that instead
Of being an obstruction to drays the work of
the company would be a benefit, as it WIS
proposed to grade the new track with the level
Of the street, which the old track was above,
and to make good plank road, if possible,
before business opened this morning.

A DIVISION IN THE SCHOOL BOARD.
MOVEMENT TO DRAW A COLOR LINE.

MOVEMENT TO DRAW A COLOR LINE.
For some little time past there has been
evinced growing desire on the part of the
colored members of the Board of School
Directors Of the city to push "their demands
for a fuller representation of teachers in the
colors in the several classes.
Having q majority of the board, this has
been increasing and is beginning now to as
sumo something like definite form and shape.
Leaving aside all attempts at hiding their
motives, they have come out, it might be said,
rather boldly, demand greater share in the
patronage given by the board.
This has produced feeling Of considerable
uneasiness on the part of the white and more
thinking directors, and they are seeking by
argument and reason to convince the colored
men that such q course would be suicidal to
the interests of public education. 1t would
revive the feeling, which once assumed pro-
portions threatening to the peace of the city,
and bring about a state of affairs to be depre-
Gated at this juncture.
As is known, all the contracts with the
teachers have been declared cancelled, so that
for the coming term all will have to be re-en-
gagged or rejected. The rs-engagement, Of
course, depends upon the board, and if the
majority see fit to employ teachers only
through partisan motives the school system
will fall through.
There is considerable feeling expressed on
the subject, and the public will watch the
denouement with intense interest.
