a change for the better. and the blief that such
change would be made by Mr.. Hayes, contrib.

little boy aged eight years, named Bernsis w.
Kay, was shot through the neck and very dan
gerously wounded by pistol in the hands Of q
boy named Jerry Ryan.
II appears this crowd Of boys fixed pole in
the earth in The middle Of the street and plsoed
hst on ii to represent target. They then
stood off at . certain distance and fred at the
hat with pistols loaded with powder and ball.
This murderous sport was kept up until The
boy Ryan fired, when his ball, instead OF striking
the hat, lodged in the neck of little Kay, who fell
to the earth crying from the sudden and painful
wound that he had received. The wounded boy
was removed to his parents residence on Con-
stance street, between Sixth and Seventh, where
he WAS attended by DR.. Managro, who pro-
noun ,ed his wound dangerous.

FFahe

At IL O'Clock yesterday accident occurred on
the Crescent City Railroad, had it not have
been for the vigilance OF one OF ibs dummy
drivers several persons might have lost their
lives. 1t appears as The dummy Free Trade was
leaving the station, at the new City Park, with
car No. 3l attached, the coupling broke and the
Free Trade started down town under full head
Of steam.
An attempt was made TO catch her, but it was
no use. she was sailing like the wind. When on
Tohouptoul's street, between Amelia and
Foucher she caught mp with osr No. A. drawn
by the dummy Enterprise, and n collision was the
result, the Free Trade running into car No. A,
splitting it IN half and throwing the Enterprise
from the track, damaging il considerably.
Forum ately the driver Of the Enterprise dis
covered the Free Trade In time to put down his
break and get his passengers and himself out Of
the car. Had he not discovered her st the time
he did, some of them in ali probability would
have been badly injured, If not killed.
