WHISKY AND DEATH.-Sunday even g,
Adam Pontz, Q German, forty four years
old, was at the lake end of the New shell
road, having gone there on the steam cars,
taking passage at the Hallway House.
After leaving the car he crossed the rail
road track, holding o basket which con-
tanned groceries. He dropped something,
and while in the act of STOPPING, the steam
dummy was switched off to the rails where
he stood. He did not see the locomotive,
nor was he observed in time to save him.
The dummy ran over and crushed him to
death.
His wife was drowned in the lake, near
the revetment. ON the twenty-ff0h of June,
1875. She. with another woman, was in
y sailboat that capsized.
It is stated that Pontz was inebriated at
the time of his death, which may account
for the fact that he got out of the car on
the wrong side.

Local Intelligence,

WHAT Is THE MATTER Y-Saturday eve.
ming . citizen was standing on Camp street,
near Poydras, when he was suddenly ap-
preached by 9 man who appeared to be
greatly excited, and asked where the West
ern Union telegraph was situated. He was
informed, and then trotted of short dis.
tapce, but quickly returned to the citizen
and said: "You need not be surprised if
you hear an alarm of fire by ten O'Clock;
anticipate trouble!' Our informant at
once proceeded to the telegraph office and
stated what he had heard, but the stranger
had not then appeared. However, he soon
after rushed into the telegraph office and
asked for one of the operators, who was
out He said his name was Wallace, and
that he had just arrived from Mississippi on
an excursion train that brought down 500
Mississippians, and that if there was any
trouble in New Orleans he would be on
hand. Ten or twelve men were with Wal
lace. He was seen ON the streets again last
evening, but not as greatly excited as on
the previous evening.

THIEVES ATTACK PoLIcEMEN-Sunday
evening citizens called on Sergeant Thi
bault and Corporal Parker to arrest squad
of seven persons who had attempted to rob
grocery at the corner of Dauphine and
JOurdan streets. Both Metropolitans pro
ceeded to the place and attempted to arrest
the fellowe, but the latter not only resisted
but attacked the officers, shooting at them
and using clubs. Corporal Parker was shot
in his head and dubbed, but he managed to
fire few times and thinks that he wounded
at least three of his aesailants. The rascals
eventually ran toward the swamp and es-
capped. Sergeant Thibault called on several
citizens who witnessed the affair to assist
him, but they refused. Joseph Adeline,
Joseph Harrison, Albert Rey and Ben Far
ley were arrested yesterday. Two of them
are wounded.
