a COUPLE OF lNQUEsTs.-Coroner Chas.
tant yesterday held An inquest in the ease
OF William Condor, who died from q pun-
shOt wound, inflicted by Cornelius Bowie.
on the ninth of June. The evidence shows
that et the date mentioned Condor and
Boyle were converting abont city polit,-
cians, when Boyle asserted that Condor
had been discharged from the Department
OF improvements for irregular conduct,
They thereupon began to fight with their
fists, but Boyle finally drew his revolver
and fired, wounding Condor in two places,
the wound in the right breast proving fatai
last week. The evidence given to the
coroner's Jury was deemed sufficient to find
9 verdict of nanslaughter. However, one
member of the jury declared that he be-
ieved it to be case of murder, but he was
overruled. DR.. Drew, who held an autopsy
ON the body, handed the coroner bis written
statement, but he asserts that that docu-
meat was not used a. the INQUEST.
Boyle had not been arrested at dark last
evening, but it is likely he will be e. soon
a. the grand jury get through with him.
Coroner DeBlsnc held an inquest in the
case OF d. A. c. Lee, the drum major who
was assassin0ted in . Gsllstin street dance
house. Two persons, William Knuckley
and William Lyons, were arrested soon
committed the deed. Knnoklev was found
in the old Marine Hospital by Captain
Gray, and denied oil knoledge Of the killing
AT the inquest yesterday two tiirls testified
that they were positive that knuckley and
Lyons are the men who attacked Lee, yet
tho jury exonersted Lyons, but Knuckely
was held on . charge of murder.
The autopsy held by DR.. Schumacher
showed that the wound in Lees breast was
. terrible one, the blade penetrating one
lobe of his lungs, causing portions OF that
organ to be elected. The wound looked a.
if the knife had been turned or twisted be-
regular in form. DR.. Schumacher asserts
that the other lobe of the lung was 80 badly
diseased that it had not performed it's tuno-
tons for long time.
Kuuckley lie still in prison, and DR.. De
Blanc has or will make An affidavit, charg
ing him with murder.

BURNING OF THE STEAMBOAT SOUTHERN
BBLLE.-The regular Bayou Sara packet
Southern Belle was totally destroyed by
fire early Tuesday morning when about one
or two miles above Plaquemine, on her way
to this city, having several passengers and
some cotton on board. The second engi.
neer, T. Holt, on watch, discovered that
cotton bales in the rear of the engineroom
were on fire, and manfully did all he could
to extinguish the flames. The boat was
then in mid.river, under full Roadway.
Captain Libano, chief clerk, was on duty,
and instantly received information of the
FIRE. He sent messengers to every portion
of the vessel where persons we're sleeping
to warn them of the danger, he also calling
The man at the wheel, Mr.. Herbert,
quickly headed the boat for shore,
and remained steadfast until he made
Q landing, althOugh he could see flames
threatening to cut of his retreat. Captain
J. p. McElroy, master of the Belle, had re-
tired but short time before the alarm, and
with difficulty saved himself. Mr.. I. Rob
erss. first engineer, was compelled to leap
for life, Jumping from the hurricane root to
the lower deck, ipjuring himself seriously.
Other persons were compelled to take des-
perate chances to gain the shore or water.
A few men found it necessary to jump into
the river, but it is believed they landed
safely.
william Henry, the bsrkeeper. narrowly
escaped by running down the forward
stairs. which were then burning. He says
that two gentlemen were not far behind
him there, but he cav them no more, IS he
Ieaped through smoke and flame to the
lower deck just as the stairs fell IN. he
thinks that these two passengers got on
board at Port Hudson.
All the lady passengers escaped.
The sad part is to be told, as it seems
ouite certain that William Won Phul. Q
nIanter of West Baton Rouge, and we'll
known in this city, lost his life. Emile
Droze, formerly of New Orleans, but 1or
some time past a resident of Baton Rouge,
employed in the sheriff's office of that par.
isb: George Thomas, the steward, and
three cabin boys, are missing, and are prob
ablv lost. Half dozen deck hands could n09
be found. after the fire, but it is likely that
most of them managed to reach the shore
The two gentlemen seen bv the barkeeper
were A. C. Griffiths and j. j. Lyon, Of Port
Hudson.
The boat was entirely destroyed: indeed
nothing but portions OF her machinery ano
her safe can be recovered. The Belle wae
principally owned by Mr.. +. U. Melanc0n
of this city, who is partly insured. Inc
boat was comparatively new one.
II is also believed that Catholic priest
name unknown, persisted. He was IRON
Bayou Sara.
Gus. Davis, Carter Roam, and Louie
Thorn, employed on the boat, jumped over
board and were drowned.

BRIEF MENTION.-Whst arc the duties of
. coroner'e juryS At . recent inquest the
coroner told the jury that the case in hand
was not one of murder-it was manslaugh.
Tor: One member of the jury was not
willing to call it granddaughter; but whather
right or wrong, his voice went for nothing
1t 10 hoped that the next Legislature will
clearly define the duties of cOroners and
jurymen.
The driver of car No. 90, St. Charles and
Carondelet street line, had his patience
fully tested last evening A little child,
not more than five years old, started to
cross the track, and by ordinary speed
might easily have crossed the street long
before the car reached that point, but the
little toddler made haste slowly, even halt
ing until the mule was within two feet of
1t. The driver was watching closely, but
did not expect to be compelled to stop, and
did not down brakes until the child actu-
ally stopped on the track, as if desiring to
be crushed TO death. That driver deserves
we'll of his employers.
The body of George Davis, q boy,
who was drowned in the river at the head
Of Third street, on the sixth instant, was
recovered yesterday morning near First
street.
