The Luzenburg Hospital was erected in
1881 expressly for the treatment of conta-
giOus complaints and was incorporated by
the Legislature of 1872 as the exclusive
hospital for such diseases for term Of tif-
teen years
The law was resisted by the city during
two and a half years both by the Wilt
Council and the present one.
1t became effective only On the thirteenth
of June, 1875, the Supreme Court at that
time perpetuating an injunction against it's
infringement, and exacting payment of the
legal fees.
The INDECENT cases of smallpox thus re-
stored to the Luxembourg Hospital in June,
numbered fitty-one. These were for the
seven months ending December 81, 1873.
The aggregate time in the hospital was 832
days, according to the legal fees, amount
ing to $2l76.
This discovers a saving to the city, in the
course of seven months. of S4524. as the
city had previously expended $1,000 per
month, patients or no patients In the
meantime, by some strategem, the city
managed to reduce the legal claim to
$l577, thus during seven months making the
saving to the city $500. Therefore. for
seven months the Gutenberg Hospital cost
the city only $l577, saving $500. But
under pretext of counting patients they
have appropriated $500, constituting q
mere sinecure. Thus we have $l577 as the
whole cost to the city during seven months
on the one hand. and $500 expended in
less time. at the rate of $3.50 per month to
a special favorite on the other side, under
the pretext of counting patients" To re.
capitulate, for seven months in the Luzen-
burg Hospital, $l577; for seven months in
the city concern, patients or no patients,
$1,000. For thirty-si years, from 1881 to
1866, while committed to the Luxembourg
Hospital, the decease may have cost the
city $4,000, certainly not more than
$4,000. (See Controllers report in the
city archives.) For eight years under city
auspices the disease cost &l6O, OOO In 1866
the patients were tranferred by city author
ity from the Luzenburg Hospital to stable
or shed on the same street whence it was re-
moved on the complaints of nine petitions,
at different times. to Hagan avenue and
Common street For four years, in the first
latter place, $4,000. Hence, in the Luzen-
burg for thirty-six years, $500 per annum;
in the city concern for eight years, S20, 900
per annum; for the eight years $l6O, 900.

A BALLROOM HOMICIDE Saturday night
. ball was given in . hall corner OF Clai-
borne and Ursulines streets, by colored
people. About five O'Clock Sunday morning
the ball broke up, and most of the par
Elephants departed. There is bar-room in
the hall, and several Of the men wished to
take drinks before leaving, and one of
them, Adrien Evique, insisted on entering.
Richard Francois. alias POucette, was guard
ing the door. with instructions to refuse all
applicants. The pressure was too great for
him and he stood one side, on doing which
joseph Andre said: 1--WE will soon get rid
Of YOU" and another man struck at him. POu-
cette apparently understood the situation,
and replied that he could whip the crowd,
one at time, q fist fight.
Evique returned to the ball room, pistol
in hand. but remained q short time. On re-
turning he stepped close to Poucette and
fred, the bullet penetrating Pouce.tes
brain, and he was seized by several persons,
but his half brother, Eugene Gauderes, as
sisted to release him and he escaped. Pou-
cette expired the instant he was shot.
Coroner DeBlanc held an inquest and
obtained some direct testimony, sufficient
to warrant him in making the charge of
murder.
MURDERER ARREsTED.-Ab0ut half
past Eve o'clock yesterday evening the man
Adrien Eve4ue, charged with the killing Of
Richard Francois, alias Poucette, Sunday
morning, at q ball given at the Congrega-
tional Hall, on Claiborne, near Ursulines
street, was arrested by Sergeant Taylor in
a small house on Bayou St. John, about a
mile from the Bayou bridge. He acknowl-
edged having killed one of his friends while
drunk by shooting him. He was locked up
in the suburban station.
