CRUSHED TO DEATH.
A Little Girl Run Over and In
stantly Killed by a Street Car.

There occurred, at the corner of Second
and Annunciation streets, another one o.
those horrible accidents that have been so
frequent in our midst of late. About halt
past 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, little girl
named Christina Kearns.. daughter of Widow
Kearns, residing close to where the unfortu-
nate affair took place, was playing with some
of her companions on the sidewalk. when she
attempted to cross the street. While doing
SO she crossed before Car No. Al, of the An
nunciation and Chippewa Line, which passed
over her breast, killing her instantly.
The driver of the car, named John Copper
emlth, as soon as he discovered the little
one coming towards the car, put on his
brake and halloed at her to get out of the
way, but before the car had stopped the
fore wheel had already passed over the lite
one Coppersmith was arrested and locked
up in the Sixth Precinct Station.

THE DUMAS.CAREY FIGHT.

Before the Superior District Court, some
time since, it will be remembered, that Dumas,
after Carey had been appointed to the tax col
lectorship of the Third District, filed suit be-
fore Judge Hawkins, enjoining Carey, the new
appointee, from taking his office.
The trial of the injunction came up and
the decision was against Dumas, and he was
ordered to turn over the Office to Carey. Thurs
day demand was made for the books and
papers, but Dumas refused peremptorily to
turn them over.
There was move made Friday morning
looking to the seizure of the books of the
tax-collector and the delivery of the Office to
the new appointee Carey. His attorneys have
presented a petition to the Superior District
Court, and it is probable that during the
day some steps will be taken.
The question presented is one Of some diff
Guilty. The order setting aside the Injunction
of Dumas against Cureys interference was
appealed, and the issue now is whether dur
lug the suspension by appeal of this judg-
ment anything can be done in court.

THE IMPEACHMENT OF JUDGE
HAWKINS.
Work of the Investigating Com
mittee.
They Are Hard at Work.
Articles of Impeachment Probable.

During the extra session Of 1876 it will be
remembered that there was House Commit
tee appointed to investigate Judge Jacob Hsw-
kins, and to inquire as to whether there were
sufficient grounds against him to warrant i'm
parchment.
the public, but went quietly to work to search
out whatever they could to show the inca
pacity and unfitness of the Judge of the Su-
perior District Court. A subcommittee, COM
posed OF Messrs. B. G. Elliott: Glenn Walker
and Gen. Young, were appointed to take tes-
timony, and they have lately been hard at
work in the matter.
Several prominent lawyers have been exam
ined and, from what we could gather, their
testimony was anything but flattering to
Judge Hawkins.
Major New testified, as also did Hon. T. ].
Semmes; the latter having stated, it is re-
ported, that Judge Hawkins had not enough
natural capacity upon which to base any legal
ability, no matter how much he studied, and
he was therefore unfit for the bench.
It seems the committee propose going into
thorough investigation Of the records of the
Superior District Court, in order to show that
it was the custom of Judge Hawkins to issue
illegal mandamuses.
The mandamus granted on the Longstreet
militia warrants, and the raising of appropria-
ton ipjunctions will, it is said, be looked
into.
The whole matter begins to assume more
serious aspect for Judge Hawkins than was at
first anticipated, and if the committee sue
coed in getting down to the bed rock, we may
look for very strong report
From what could be gathered last night it
is tolerably certain that the committee have
accumulated sufficient evid ence upon which
to base articles of impeachment, and the
chances are that they will be presented soon.
As the committee have held their meetings in
private, no positive information of their
action could be cleaned, but enough is known
to satisfy us Judge Hawkins will be brought
up for trial.
1t Is limited that the Inquiries necessary for
the full investigation of the case will involve
other we'll known parties.
The constitutional provision providing that
there shall be no legislation until the Appor-
tionment bill is passed, does not apply to the
impeachment OF public officer, and we may
therefore expect early action. This matter
has naturally produced considerable stir in
legal circles, and much curiosity is felt re.
earding the denouement.

Asylum of jackson, La, was received. 1t

was postponed until next Wednesday.
Mr. S.rtain asked information from the
Speaker as to the powers of the House under
the Constitution to consider bills aud resolu-
tons before the prssage OF an apportionment
bill.
The speaker said that he would rule that
the House had right to pass House bills to
their third and inal reading, but could not
finally pass Senate bill, that the constitu-
tional prohibition merely prevented the enact
ment OF any law.

THE New ORLEANS AND TEXAS RAILROAD
While IN Galveston last week We were in
formed by prominent merchants there that
the iron tor rebuilding the railroad bridge
across the Trinity river at Liberty would be
delivered at Galveston within two weeks and
that the work OF putting the road in running
order to Orange was being vigorously prose-
cuted to completion. When Texas thus
reaches out her hand to New Orleans it is to
be hoped that the latter city will "grapple it
with hooks of steel" 1t is passing strange
that the metropolitan cities Of Louisiana and
Texas have remained SO long without railroad
communication Charles Echo, Dec. %.
