AFLAG BOYS FATAL FALL
Reueath the wheels of His Train.

At half past O'Clock yesterday morning, on
Euphrosne street, at the intersection Of
Rampant another flag boy Of the New Or
leans st. Louis and Chicago Railroad was
crushed to death. His name was Thos. Muir
tagh; he was IA years of age, and it appears
the way he met his fate was that he left the
Mobile Railroad Company ON Tuesday. and at
the hour above stated he inaugurated his first
run on the Jackson route.
Murtagh was standing on the platform in
front of the locomotive. When nearing the
corner Of Rampant street, he jumped off the
engine for the purpose of running to the
corner to flag the approach Of the LOGON olive,
but, unfortunately, he fell, and the engine
and two freight ears passed over him, crushing
him beyond recognition. The engineer whis-
tied down breaks, but. regardless OF his
promptness, the unfortunate boys life was
sacrificed.
After the train was stopped the mangled
remains Of the lad were taken out from be-
meath the wheels and laid on the banguette, Il
few PAGES from the scene of the accident, where
Coroner Roche held an inquest and returned
verdict in accordance with the facts. After
while the remains were taken to the victim g
late residence, corner Of st. Andrew and
Franklin streets.

A BRILLIANT WEDDING.

Quite a stir was created in the fashionable
circles. and great numbers of the elite of our
city assembled last evening at the Coliseum
Baptist Church to witness the marriage OF
Mr.. Henry O. Head, of Sherman, Texas, to
Miss Sallie G. Wilson, of this place Miss
Wilson is the daughter Of our well-knOwn and
highly-respected citizen, Mr.. E. II. Wilson.
AS the doors of the church were thrown
open the deep swells of sweet music from The
organ proclaimed the arrival OF the wedding
party; the six beautiful bridesmaids swept
gracefully up the aisle of the church, followed
by the bride and groom, who were, OF course,
accompanied by the BRIDES mother and father
They were met at the altar by the Rev. DIR.
Wilson, who after the usual ceremonies, pro-
nOunced them man and WIFE,
Rarely, If ever, have we seen on an occasion
OF this kind such q large congregation OF the
fashionable and respectable element OF our
population The church was literally over
flowing, and the bridal party could not but
feel proud and flattered at the interest mani.
tested on the occasion Of the ceremony OF
their nuptials.
Altogether, this was one Of the most bril-
liant weddings which has taken place in New
Orleans since the war. We hope this auspi-
cious event will prove to be to the young
couple the initiation of a long course of mari
tai felicity. After the ceremony their particu-
lar friends assembled at the family mansion
of the bride, on st. Charles street, where con-
CALCULATIONS were freely bestowed and a most
sumptuous collation. partaken Of,
We understand that Mr.. and Mrs. Head
| will soon leave for Sherman, Texas, which
will be their home in the future. That Their
pathway through life will be strewn with
roses without a single thorn, is the heartfelt
| wish of their many New Orleans friends.

THE RETURNING BoARpERs.
They Want Their Case Transferred to the
United states Court.

In the Superior Criminal Court, yesterday
Messrs. Castellanos IL Cullom and John
Ray, ESQ, attorneys for Wells, Anderson
Casanave and Kenner members Of the noto-
rious Returning Board, filed petition on be-
half of the accused, asking that the case be
transferred to the United States Circuit Court,
under section GAL of the United States Re
vised Statutes. on the ground that the law
authorizing the drawing of juries in this par
ish does an injustice to the accused. as it
places In the hands OF the persons authorized
by law to draw these juries powers which
enable and which were intended to enable,
them (the jury commissioners to draw juries
that they in their judgment may see proper !;
further, that in the present case out OF the
and further, there exists great prejudice in
the minds of the white population, and for
that reason the officers of the law have wit
tingly or unwittingly drawn jury as are be-
lieved to be impressed with this prejudice.
Mad. Wells was in court while his counsel
were presenting the petition.
Judge Cullom gave notice. after the reading
Of the petition that he would ask for commits
sions to take evidence of witnesses for the &C
clised who were absent from the city.
Assistant Attorney General Egan, on behalf
of the State, objected for the reason that the
defense had no right to have testimony taken
in that way and that it would necessitate the
continuance of the case which he would not
agree to.
The petition was filed, and Judge Whitaker
gave notice that he would hear argument Of
counsel at 10 o'clock to-day

ADJUSTMENTS.
THE AIMEE TROUPE

presented last night at the Varieties the
genuine Offenbachism Of "Barbe Bleue, with
Aimee as BouloHe, Desiree as Ctementine, Du-
pare as Hernia, Duplan as Bobeche, Mollard
as Blue Beard, Mezieres as Popolani, Jouard
as Count Oscar, Legros as Prince Saphb-an
array of performers which it would be diff
cult to find outside of the Aimee company.
We are never 50 happy as when we can adj
dress our compliments to all the performers
in q cast without distinction, and the oppor-
tunity presenting itself to-day we do SO
without reserve.
We were highly pleased with Mr.. Mollard,
who, for the first time, appeared before New
Orleans public, I'm part affording him scope
for Il display OF his talents as singer and an
actor, He certainly belongs to that good
school of actors that eschews overriding the
thing, without falling into the other extreme
lack Of action and animation. The voice of
Mr.. Molard is the best that we have heard in
opera bouffe, but as that may not be deemed
compliment by him. we will say that he sang
with much taste the air OF the second
act in which he manifested that in the higher
register his tones are strong clear and even,
and well sustained, and his falsetto charming.
His Barbe Blue was indeed very good. Aimee,
and we might also say, Desiree, Dupare, Du-
plan and Mezeres were the ever unfaltering
sprightly spirits Of the opera bouffe which
we have SO frequently applauded and whose
performances are always fresh as the light
cadenees of Offenbach's tunes.
Tonight :" La Petite Mariee" of Lecocg will
be sung, with Aimee, Dupare, Desrce, Mol
lard, Jouard. Duplan and Mezercs in the cast.
"LA BELLE HELENE
is billed for Friday night. Who will not wish
to see Aimee as the Trojan heroine Helene,
Mezieres as the augury Chalcas, and Duplan
as Menelaus, the king of kings,
BENEFIT OF MIR. BoUTELoUP
We call apain the attention of the French
comedy loving public to the benefit of Mr..
Bouteloup at the Opera House tonight, with
"Bebe" and lie Chapeau dun Horloger" as
the programme. Mr.. Bouteloupis an actor Of
abiity-and most conscientious. We sincerely
hope that recognition of these qualities ON
the part of the public will secure for him full
house.

A NEW ROAD TO THE LAKE.

From talk had yesterday with Mr. Thos.
I'll. Handy, our present Civil Sheriff, and a
large owner of stock in the Canal Street, City
Park and Lake Railroad, we were gratified to
learn that the work on this new road to Milne
burg Is being pushed ON with great vigor.
With such men at its head as Messrs Shak-
speare, Pagan, Handy, Henry and Rice the
enterprise can neither lack in means or
energy. The road is virtually built now and
needs but comparatively little work The
only heavy piece Of labor to be accomplished
is the building of the bridge across Bayou st.
John. and this is well and fairly started Mr..
Handy states that he has no doubt that
the road will be ready for travel by next
April or May The company has ordered
new and improved dummies and carriages,
and hope to make everything lovely for our
next summer promenaders to the lake.
