ErpECTs OFF THE QUARANTINE.

One of the disastrous effects Of the quaran-
tine on the part of the city Of Galveston is
shown by the action ON the part Of the agent
of the Morgan line Of steamers When 1t was
learned that Galveston had closed all inter
course with us orders were given to stop all
the ten steamers running and discharge all
hands, This throws out of employment fully
1900 men, including those of the work shops.
On the railroad 500 more have been dis
charged as there are trains running now be-
tween this city and Brashear only three times
q week
Doubtless great suffering will ensue from
this wholesale discharge, as many OF the men
have large families dependent upon them.
We understand that soon after the auaran,,
tine was established at Mobile, the railroad
company was compelled to discharge some
400 hands at that point and a large number
here. This throws out of employment ALMOST
$500 men, who will find great difficulty at this
time In securing o livelihood at this season OF
the year.

SHOT.
A Police Officer wounded by Negro
Whpsn He Was Trying tn Arrest.


Yesterday, O. little after noon, the report OF
a pistol was heard on Carondelet street, be-
tween Julia and Girod. Those who rushed to
the spot found out that Patrolman Michael
Sullivan, turnkey OF the First Precinct Sta
tion had been shot and severely wounded in
the left side with Colts revolver, No. 81 ,606,
In the hands Of a colored man, said to be
called Oliver Eagan, but whose name was az
forwards found TO be Geo. Wilson.
It was aseertained that whilst Sullivan was
walking quietly up CarondeIet street to ex-
ecute an order given him by Capt. Manning,
his attention was attracted by a noise in the
alley between Girod and julia streets, and on
looking he saw q negro rush out on the ban
quette, pistol in hand, evidently much excited.
Sullivan stopped the negro and told him to
put away the weapon under penalty Of i'm
prisonmeut. The man refused to obey, and
on being grasped by the officer he slightly
raised the weapon and discharged bullet In
Sullivan's left side.
The wounded man was brought on q
stretcher to the Central Station, where
his wound was examined by DIR. Beard
and pronounced not dangerous. He was
afterwards sent home. The negro escaped,
but subsequently Aid McDonogh and Ser
geant Hamilton arrested the Would-b6 muir
derer and lodged him in jail.

On Monday evening the Second Ward Ma
tional Club held meeting on Rampant street.
head of the New basin. After the opening
preiminaries, Mr.. D. Wilson, who was pre-
siding. announced that as he was a candidate
for election to the parish committee he would
temporarily vacate the chair, and he called
Mr.. Jas. Beggs to the position.
A party present objected, and was called to
order by another person. on the grounds that
he was neither q resident Of the Second Ward
nor member OF the National party, and
therefore had no right TO advocate or oppose
any proposed action.
The party claimed the right to be heard,
and discussion took place between him aud
the presiding officer. During the discussion
some one shouted, "Kck him out" and q rush
was made for the Directing party. He, how
ever, had friends. and they rallied 10 his sup
port. The result was a free fight, in which a
number Of heads were bruised, a number of
eountenances damaged. several persons
kicked down stairs, and the party RESPONSE
BILE for the disturbance thrown out OF the
second-story window. Nobody was seriously
injured, although the escape from death OF the
man who went out Of the window was almost
miraculous.

SINGULAR DEATH,
A woman Hs Found siFRngteh i'm Her
Room, and HHer Husband Accused
of the Crime.

OF bMG SFA1fhes
The store No. 1872 Carondelet street, between
Girod and Julia, is occupied by one Martin
Cruel. who holds forth there as dealer in
artificial limbs.
Cruel Is married, and since few months he
has always been, as is reported, in the habit
of daily quarreling with his wife.
Yesterday morning, at about 0 o'clock, the
neighborhood was alarmed by unearthly
shrieks proceeding from Gruels house, and
shortly afterward the man was seen rushing
wildly on the street, with incoherent eiacula-
tions and gesticulating like mailman.
The words he uttered were, "Mg wife is dy-
ing my wife has killed herself" DR., Warren
Brickeli, who resides opposite, came out to
see
WHAT WAS THE MATTER,
and observing an excited crowd around Cruel,
whom he knew, suspected something wrong,
and entered the mans house. On going into
| the rear room Of the store he saw woman
| half dressed lying on q bed, the mattress OF
which was sheetless. On closer examine
| ton of the features Of the woman, he reoog-
nzed in her Mrs. Cruel, stone dead, but in q
| naIral position. corset was on the bed be-
sides the body. Cruel followed the doctor,
who proceeded to examine the woman, and
found that she had marks OF violence on her
body.
Her hands and left arm, also the neck, were
| bloated as from GOagulated blood, and the
| conclusion was that she had been strangled
Cruel, who was watching the doctors move
ments, approached and took 8 silk handker-
| chief from under his Wife's head, and holding
it up, tried to make the doctor understand, liz
German, that his wife had hung herself.
After q careful and thorough examination
had been made Of the body and Of the bed
DR., Brickell felt convinced that Cruel haC

THE JACKSON ROAD.

It appears that the information furnished
lis on Monday by merchant OF good stand
ing in this city, concerning an episode in the
yellow fever scare at Grenada, Miss, was
partially incorrect, particularly as to the
quarantine clause which retained nurse
here. The Jackson Railroad Company since
the beginning of the panic has showed an I'M
bounded .iberality, which speaks eloquently
In favor Of those who conduct it's business. 1t
has offered it's services gratis to the Board OF
Health, brought in disinfectants free OF
charge, and daily carries nurses on its cars
without pay to any point where they are
needed, Far from the possibility Of any re-
lection being cast upon the company, its ad'
ministration can be said to have come uu
fully to the mark in all respects, and to have
deserved the thanks of the community for Its
charitable dealings and generous action.
