officer O'Neii Reads the Riot Act to n |
Packard Negro.

James Cooper, the Assistant Door
keeper of Packard's Fort, evidently not
liking the action of the Commission,
and with the intention. OF creating q
disturbance, congregated a large num-
Der Of negroes around him at o'clock
Sunday morning, at the corner Of Lafa-
yette and Liberty streets, and with in
cendiary speeches tried to urge them
to incite riot.
Cooper would no doubt have succeed
ed, as the negroes became very much
excited, had it not been for the prompt
action on the part Of Officer ON ell,
who arrested him and locked him up in
the Central Station on the charge Of
disturbing the peace and attempting to
incite riot.

Babies.

Different countries have different
methods of dealing with their young.
The Greenland baby is dressed In fur8
and carried In sort OF pocket In the
back OF his mothers cloak. When she
Is very busy and does not want to be-
bothered with him she digs a hole In
the snow and covers him all up but bis
face, and leaves him there until she is
ready to take care Of him again. The
Hindoo baby hangs In basket from the
roof, and Is taught to smoke long before
he learns to walk: Among the Western
Indians the poor little tots are tied fast
to board, and have their heads fat
tened by means of another board fast
down over their foreheads. In Lima
the little fellow lies all day In q ham,
mock swung from a tree-top, like the
baby In the nursery song. I'm Persia he
Is dressed in the most costly silks and
jewels, and his head 10 never uncovered,
day or night, while In Yucatan pair OF
sandals and straw hat are thought to
be all the clothing he needs.

MURDER.
The Fatal Effects Of Free Indulgence in
Liquor.

The Fatal Effects Of Free Indulgence In
Liquor.
Alto o'clock this morning In front OF
MIR. L.. Israel's clothing store, No. 81
st. Charles street, the knife was again
used by one John Lally, with deadly
effect upon q man named Arthur Cor
mier. From the facts CLEANED by a
DEMOCRAT reporter the whole affair is
attributed to the accused being under
the influence Of liquor.
nc appears that Cormier is a clerk In
the employment of Mr.. Israel, and
that Lally accompanied friend OF bis,
named II. Bowers, into the store for the
purpose of purchasing q pair OF pants,
and handed Cormier, who had waited
upon him, u $40 bill In payment.
coRMIER TOOK THE MONEY
and took out the price Of the article /,
which was "a, and was on the point OF
handing the change to Bowers, when
Iially made O demand upon him to
hand the change to him.
Cormier remarked, 81 won't hand you
the change 1t does not belong to you. +"
This angered Lally, he being a
drunken man, and with an opprobrious
epithet he said, Il can lick you"
Cormier insinuated that he did not
wish any disturbance In the store, and
that If he Lally) did not get out he
would put him out.
Lally refused TO 90, and q soul1le en-
sued. When they reached the banquette
in front OF the store Lally drew dirk
knife and
PLUNGED IN INTO THE ABDOMEN
OF his antagonist.
The wounded man fell upon the ban
uuette, and his murderer lost no time In
beating hasty retreat.
Officer Eagan putting In an appear
anee, arrested Powers and locked him
up In the Central Station on charge OF
being an accessory to the stabbing.
The wounded man was then conveyed
to the office of DIR. Dreyfus, at the cor
ner OF Lafayette and Baronne streets,
where his wound was examined and pro-
nounced mortal. He was afterwards
taken to his residence, No. asa French
men street, where three physicians were
In attendance on him, and they ex-
pressed the same opinion as DIR.
Dreyfus.
The accused Is still at large. but being
we'll known to the police, he has but
little chance Of evading capture.
LATER.
Lally was arrested by Sergeant Gill
in the Third Precinct, and inoarcerated
In the Third Station.

William Titus, the engineer OF the
steamship Lizzie Henderson, has quite
an admiration for the fairer sex so long
as they do not trespass upon the con-
tents of his pocket-book.
This weak point Of Titus was not
known to Mary Crutch, when she last
evening at her domicil relieved him of
six silver half dollars.
But when Titus had her arrested and
locked up in the Central Station on q
charge OF robbery, she was forcibly i'm
pressed as to where his weak point lay.

An Incenstiary's Third Attempt to Burn
an UnOccupIcd building.

At about IL o'clock, last night, q fire
was discovered in the rear portion of
the unoccupied two-story frame build
and Goodohildren streets. Officer Bolsu

caused but slight damage, and on ex-
aiming the building found that the
Notwithstanding had been saturated
with coal oil.
While the officer was extinguishing
