Willie Richards boy about IA years
of age had one of hlH legs broken in two
places while the Neptune Hose cart was
on the way to the fire this morning The
accident occurred on Sixth Avenue near
Twelfth street, as the hose cart was being
hitched to wagon and team. Richards
was riding on the hose cart and fell of, a
wheel of the cart passing over the leg with
the aforementioned result. DIR. Craig
was called and did all that was necessary,
and left the patient as well as could be ex-
pected, The practice of boys riding on
the hose carts or getting in the way when
fire occurs is very reprehensible, but the
6remcn say it is almost impossible to keep
them back. The accident is to be deplor-
ed. and should be warning to boys.

The proprietors Of the Democrat are to be
congratulated upon their energy, their liber-

pleasure to note that the business men Of
New Orleans have appreciated it. They
show it by their advertisements. This is

their vim, their push, their business judy
ment and their estimation Of the worth of
their newspaper press. May New Orleans

of the corruption that prevailed under Presi-

the book be true, the evidence set forth
seems to be of an uncontrovcrtible nature,
