The Turco-servian War.

The London Times, after uttering deep
growl over the confusing telegraphc VIC
tories which have distinguished the fight
on the Servian border, thinks that Serva
will soon be obliged to fight within her
boundary line We had already drawn
the same conclusions from the conflict
ing stories which have come to us by
cable. The truth about the battles so
far has been that while the Servans have
been checked the Turks have not gained
any overwhelming advantage, and until
they are able to bring their superior strength
TO bear ON the main body under
Tchernayeff we shall hear more contradic-
tory stories. A great battle like Sadowa or
Sedan cannot be twisted from its signifi-
cance by the most ingenious telegrapher,
and it is almost rs hard to veil the meaning
of a fight like Gravclotte. Great victories
and great defeats tell their own story. The
march of Prince Nicholas on Mostar is a
curious business, rs the Turks are said to
have practically abandoned that town. If
they have concluded that it cannot be held
it is to be presumed they believe they can
return and take it when they have time and
troops to spare The further the Montene-
grins 90 in that direction the less trouble
will they give Turkey in her attack on
Servis.

Washington replied that the power to accede

FATAL ACCIDENT.
A Man Found Dead in a Canal Oh the
Mobile Railroad and His Body
Horribly MaDgled.

About o'clock Sunday morning, colored
man while walking on the track of the Mobile
Railroad seven and a half miles from this city,
discovered lying in the canal alongside the
track, the mangled body Of white. man
named Joseph Cazes, alias Tuitte a native of
France, aged about ffty-two years.
The fact was made known to the Fifth Pre-
cinct police, who Immediately sent Sergt
Thibaut to the place to cause the remains to
be brought to the city. The Sergeant, with
some of his men, started down the track upon
hand-car and brought the body to the Sta
ton, where postmortem was held by Dr.
Schumacher, City Physician, and it was found
that both legs above the ankle joints, the
spinal column, and four of the left ribs were
fractured, causing, it is thought almost in
slant death.
From several parties, who reside in the Vi
cinity, it was ascertained that the 8 o'clock
outward bound train of the New Orleans and
Mobile Railroad had whistled several times
in that locality on Saturday evening, and the
presumption is that the deceased was walk
ing along the track and was struck by the
catcher. throwing him into the canal
and causing the injuries above stated, which
resulted in death. Coroner DeB.anc held an
inquest and the jury gave verdict in &C.
cordance with the above facts.
The deceased was employed as laborer
by Mr.. Manuel, who lives twelve miles below
the city.

Gang of them that Arrived Here
from st. LOuis Last Month.
Burglars Tools, Dark Lanterns, etc.,
Found in their Possession.

About the 18th of last month, o mob of pro-
fessional thieves, numbering six, arrived
in New Orleans from st. Louis, and to
evade the vigilance of the police, dispersed
throughout the city. One of them, we'll
known burglar, named Frank Lee, alias
Frenchy, Immediately after his arrival, en-
gagged an apartment at the st. James Hotel,
and registered on the books as Chas. Voicelle.
He met stranger at the hotel with whom
he became intimate-so much SO that he in
vited him to sleep with him. The stranger
accepted the proposition, and when he awoke
in the morning he found that the nice young
man had disappeared and had taken with
him his (the Strangers silver watch and $l35
in currency. The matter was made known to
Capt. Malone, chief of Detectives, who de-
tailed Special Offi,ers Pecora and Pearson to
investigate the robbery.
The officers repaired to the room at the
hotel, and found Frenchy' carpet-sack, which
contained lot Of burglars tools, dark Ian
tern, lot OF skeleton keys, etc, which they
took charge OF and brought to the chiefs
Office. The next day after the robbery OFF,
GERS Mulahey and Simonds arrested two we'll
known thieves, named S. G. Braynard and
VIM. OBrien, after a long chase, and locked
them up in the Central Station charged with
being dangerous an suspicious characters.
They were in the neighborhood of CASH
dy's Hotel, where a robbery had just taken
place, but as none Of the property stolen was
in their possession, the officers. although
satisfied that they were the parties, had no
evidences that could hold them on that charge.
They were duly arraigned and sent to the
Parish Prison, where the detectives kept a
watch, as it were, over them, to find the
other parties.
On February 18th well dressed man &C.
companied by lady called at the Parish Pri-
son to pay them visit and we're taken to the

The Mysterious Death of an Old
Man at the Rigolets.

Col. Loan Sunday received the following
dispatch from MIR. J. NJ. Tomlinson, the Gus
tomhouse Officer stationed at the Rigolets:
CUsToMHoUsE STATION, RIGoLETs, !
Sunday, Feb. g. 1876.
Col. Loan, Superintendent metropolitan Police:
This afternson, at o'clock, an old man by
the name of Gron, bridge tender here, was
found in the iron work of the drawbridge,
and was conveyed to his house. He has just
died without speaking. The man lives here
and has nine children, poor devil, without
anything.
This place is in the Ninth Ward of the city;
would it not be necessary for a coroner to
come out. There is no doctor here, but plenty
of men to form jury. The coroner can come
out on the 1880 A. NJ. train, and will have to
bring coffin. The old man will hardly keep
over to morrow. Please take what steps are
necessary. There is one United States board
ing officer here, to whom you can telegraph
anything you want. Some one will have to
come out and investigate. No one saw the
man fall, and only one man was on the bridge
with him. Yours, respectfully,
j. NJ. ToMLINsoN.
Col. Loan Sunday evening notified Coroner
DeBIanc that he was needed to hold an in
quest. The dispatch does not say whether he
died natural death, or whether be was killed
by the man who was with him on the bridge.

A Quart Bottle Should Hold a Quart.

States and other firms, to restrain the latter
from using an imitation of the formers trade

Judge Robinson has decided against the plain
tiff. He finds tina. the trademark is well

it, that the registering Of the trademark un-

the old remedy before the State court, and
that in fact but for one thing the plaintiff
would be fully entitled to the injunction
asked. That one thing is that the trade.
