"A horse belonging to Mr.. Frank

drives, near the formers new resi-
dencc on the river front, on Friday al
tcrnoon, and ran up Krcbs venue at
the top of his speed. The wagon TO
which he was attached contained an
empty barrel, which rolling back and
forth kept up a lively racket which
added to the horses fright, and it was
with d~ifhculty that he was finally
stopped. Strangeto say he ran through

so hidcous a crime as that Of which
he was guilty. If dark insanity, or
evil passions had marrcd his face III
life, death had kindly sinoothed his
brow and LETT no wrinkle on his aged
face. The busy brain that planned
the appalling crime, and the willing
hand that dealt the blow, arc both for

be spread upon the poor remains, and

terday morning from the effects ora
heavy dose of opium. His family dis
credit the theory of suicide. They say
that the doctor had been addicted tn the
opium habit for years, and believe that,

dose, which proved fatal. DR.. Girard
was arrested on Monday charged by live
stock insurance company with srborua-
ton Of perjury in inducing friend to
make affidavit to false valuation of q
horse which he had insured with the com
pany. II is thought by eome that his
