Academia Child IA Months Old
Run Over by Street Car.

About IL o'clock yesterday, the corner
OF Burgundy and Cont streets was the
scene OF a most shocking accident by
car No. ii Of the Orleans City Railroad
line running over Peter Bellinsona, a
little boy fourteen months old and
almost instantly killing him.
The child was removed to it's home q
short distance from the scene of the
accident, where 1t expired Immediately
after arriving. On examination it was
found that the wheels had past over the
little fellows stomach and limbs, man
Cling them terribly.
Our reporter visited the driver of the
car, Anthony Alimo, at the Third Pre-
clint Station, who gave the following
statement:
saw the child standing on the cross
ing at the corner a lady pulled the bell !;
put on my brake and turned my head
to see when she would be out of the
car; let my brake go without looking
around; as soon as / had let the brake
go somebody followed there is a child
under the car; stopped the car as soon
as could but it was too late, the front
wheel had passed over It's body. I i'm
mediately surrendered to officer Tomp-
kins, he went with me to deliver up my
car, after which he brought me to the
station.

Fire In Jefferson City-Loss $1,000.

About 10 o'clock Saturday night fire.
originated In a one-story frame house
on Jersey, between Berlin and Milan
streets, occupied by Mrs. Ann Fry as q
variety store, who was absent from the
house at the time OF the fire. The build
ing, with the stock OF goods and furni- :
ture, were entirely destroyed. Tho
house was uninsured, but the furniture
and stock was covered by policy Of
$1,000 in the Sun Mutual. The flames
then communicated to the adjoining
one-story frame building owned by Jas.
Trigold and occupied by v. Shoultz as
a dwelling, which was entirely reduced
to ashes. This property is insured, but
in what company or for what amount
could not be ascertained. The fire still
gaining headway extended to an old
frame shanty owned by Owen Carraher
and occupied by Stephen Taylor and
Solomon Carter. This property was
burnt to the ground. No insurance.
The total loss is estimated at 5000 and
is supposed to be work OF an incendiary.

A Woman Burnt TO Death.

About II o'clock yesterday morning
Mary Bannegan, aged n years, and u
native Of Ireland, was found lying in
sensible on the floor of her wood and
coal shop, 129 Thalia street, having
been severely burned about the body.
1t is supposed that her clothing ignited
while sleeping too near the fireplace,
and on waking up and finding herself
on fire, was frightened to such an ex-
tent that she became speechless and
unable to call for help. She was found
by her friends yesterday morning in the
above condition, without clothing, and
her body almost burnt to cracking
A physician was called in, but too late
to do any good, as the unfortunate
creature died before he left.

THE THEATRES.

ACADEMY OF MUsIC.-Quite fair audi
ence greeted the appearance Of Yankee
Locke last night at the Academy. The
play is very thrilling, very humorous
and has very pretty moral. Mr. Locke
is fine actor and keeps bis audience in
a constant uproar Of merriment OF all
the side splitting farces we have seen
here during this season, the one last
night at the Academy was the most
ludicrous. We advise all all who
would forget care and trouble
ment to go and see Geo. A. Locke in
"Trumps." He holds a full hand and
plays them so that they tell. The little
Seigrist Midgets and the st. Felix ballet
troupe have become such favorites that
the manager Of the Academy will retain
them for short season. The acting Of
Mr.. Locke's supports last night was
very good Mr.. Huntley as Dick iS,.m-
mers played better than we have hith-
erto known him to; Walter Kelly's rem
dition Of Sam Peeler was very credita-
BILE; Isadore Davidson as Relby gave q
good piece Of serio-comic Dutch acting.
s"Trumps" turn up again tonight.
The VARIETIES THEATRE per-
formance at this resort last evening was
tolerably well attended. Dickens
"David Copperfield" was presented
under the title OF little Emily" We
will be pardOned IL we have formed an
idea Of Dickens and his characters that
does not we'll harn.onize with any rem
ditiOn given by an actor. Mr.. Rowe, as
wilkins MicdWber, certainly acts well,
and makes the character agreeable to
the audience. He is a fine comedian,
and deserving of the patronage of
theatre-goers, and no doubt his engage
bu,t srs,
pressions of Dickens own portrayal
Of his characters, we think, are inf
nitely superior to the outs left by Mr.
Rowe's conception Of them. The play
ing by the remainder Of the troupe was
also appreciable and entertaining, and
for those who have never read the work
of David Copperfield," as originally
given by the publisher, can witness
frequently with enjoyment. The
Geneva Cross" which is In in prepara-
ton and soon to be put on the boards at
the Varieties, will be fine drama and
attract large attendance. There is to
be matinee tomorrow and an extra
one on Thursday, instead OF an evening
performance.
The GLOBE THEATRE. is again
a change of programme and new per-
formers ushered before the certain.
The Globe is doing d very good bust
ness, and is an attractive place OF
amusement for q very considerable
number of people who take much de-
light in witnessing the variety perform
ance given there nightly. Miss Burdell
and Mr.. Gallagher sing some very fine
duet ballads, and are frequently en-
cored. The remainder of the troupe
now filling an engagement there are
above mediocrity in their profession,
and have many admirers who exhibit a
great deal OF enthusiasm In their ap-
plause.

Fire Fiend-A Girl IA Years Of Age Dan.
gerOusly Burnt.

About o'clock last evening negro
girl, IA years of age, was severely burn
ed about the arms and body, at her
residence on Cadiz street, between
Laurel and Live Oak From what could
be learned, the girl was attending her
sick father who was sitting near the fire,
and in leaning over him to pick some
thing up in front Of the CRATE, her dress
ignited and she was Immediately envel-
oped in flames.
Her father screeched fire, and some
citizens who were passing, rushed into
the house and extinguished the flames.
DR.. Menesburg was called in who ex-
amined her charred body and pro-
nounced her injuries mortal.

A LOVERS REVENGE.
A Woman Murdered In a Ball Room.

A difficulty occurred New Years night
In colored ball room at the corner Of
Delord and Rampant streets, which ter
minated in young mulatto woman,
Annie Wenkley, being stabbed and
mortally wounded with knife In the
hands Of negro roustabout named
Ernest Pepps. It appears that Pepps
and Annie had been living together for
a long while as man and wife, but col
ored man made Annie's acquaintance
and she, falling in love with him, left
Pepps and went to live with her new ad-
mirer. Pepps seeing that he had been
deserted by his Senegambian mistress,
his jealousy was aroused and he swored
vengeance on her head.
Pepps waited his opportunity for re-
venge, and hearing that Annie was to
be at the above place on New Years
night repaired thither to carry out his
murderous intentions. Arriving in the
ball room, he saw her waltzing with the
man that was his rival; he rushed up
and seizing Annie by the arm charged
her with infidelity, Mt the same time
remarking, am just like George Nor
ris; I would rather see you corpse at
my feet than to see you love any one
else, and with the words, will butcher
you like Morris butchered Sarah Jones,
he drew large Bowie knife and plung-
ed the glistening steel into her groin.
Annie threw up her hands, exclaiming,
my God, I am murdered, "and then fell
upon the floor.
The affair created great excitement
In the ball room, and Pepps taking
advantage Of the confusion slipped out
undetected and has not been heard from
since.
The wounded woman was taken to her
residence, No. 1875 Polymnia street,
where she expired in few hours after
arriving. DR.. J. b. Cooper, the city
physician, held the post mortem ex-
animation, and it was found that death
was caused from wound in the groin,
which penetrated the femoral artery,
causing internal hemorrhage and death.
Coroner Chastant impanneled jury
and adjourned the inquest until this
morning, at II o'clock.
