TnE LAST SUNDAY FOR PACM RAD,
The Metropolitans Preparing for £vres
ties Day at the St. Lerls Hotel.
The St. Louis Hotel, about which so
imuch has been written, and on which
has been centered so much attention, on
Sunday did not have such a bristling
appearance as was its wont. A few
scattered gro ups oflnegroes hung about
the entrance, giving vent to their rage
AOAINtI TIHE PBSIDENT
and exchanging views as to what they
were going to do in the future. From
the general tonor of their talk they
seemed to think that the time had come
for them to go to work at something
elseo beside politics, and that hereafter
there would never be t Republican
party in sthe, State.
There was but little attention paid by
the
(tUARD AT THE DOOR
as to who went in, and all the offoers
wore a careless air, expressive of their
knowledge that the thing had gone up.
The usual attention to oleanlinese had
been overlooked and when the reporter
entered the main entrance he was met
with a sickening odor that made the
atmosprhere hardly bearable. At the
head of the staircase, where there were
before ten peelers with their rifles al
ways on guard, yesterday four men
lounged in arm-chairs,

against the wall. Throughout the build
ing there were the same evidences of
general indifference, and it was ad
mitted by the leaders that there was no
further use in their trying to do any
thing to save Packard from his doom.
Packard himself, looking very much
dejected, flitted
LIKE ROME UNEASY GlIORT
from place to place until about five
o'clock, when he entered his cab and
drove to his residence. It was gleaned
from those who were in charge of the
building that a demand Tuesday from
G+v. Nicholls for full possession would
be promptly acquiesced in, and that
there would be required by Packard a
display of some force for him to relin
quish the place. This, it is said, he
wants in order
TO COME OUT
with some little honor. There is on
hand in the building a considerable
quantity of
COMMISSARY STORMS
still left, which will, probably, with the
arms, be turned over.
The pollee expect a large demonstra
tion from the people, and think when,
at noon Tuesday the troops march
from the neighborhood, the streets will
be jammed, and some said they feared
the people might hoot them as they
went out, but most of the men were sat
losfed that the citizens would not act
thus to a defeated enemy.
.hIe Faal EUff ets of Frse ,Indi,,e,, In
Liquoer.
At 9 o'clock this morning in front of
Mr. L. Israel's clothing store, No. 52
Ct. Oharles street, the knife was again
'4ed by one John Lally, with deadly
ffeot upon a man named Arthur Cot'
miser From the facts gleaned by a
SDsaxom AT reporter the whole affair is
astributed to the accused being under
the influence of liquor.
It appears that Oormier is a clerk in
the employment of Mr. Israel, and
that Lally accompanied a friend of his,
named B. Bowers, into the store for the
Spurpose of purchasing a pair of pants,
Bowers bought the article of wear
.and handed Cormier, who had waited
',upon him, a $20 bill in payment.
CORMIER TOOK THE MONEY
and took out the price of the article,
which was $4, and was on the point of
handing the change to Bowers, when
Lally made a demand upon him to
hand the change to him.
Cormier remarked, "I won't hand you
the change; it does not belong to you."
This angered Lally, he being a
drunken man, and with an opprobrious
epithet he said "I can lick you."
Oormier insinuated that he did not
wish any disturbance in the store, and
that if he (Lally) did not get out he
would put hims out.
Lally refused to go, and a scuffle en.
sued. When they reached the banquette
in front of the store Lally drew a dirk
knife and
P1LUNGED IT INTO TRE AlIDOMEN
of his antagonist.
The wounded man fell upon the ban
quette, and his murderer lost no time in
beating a hasty retreat.
Officer Eagan putting in an appear
anoe, arrested Powers and looked him
,i up in the Central Station on a charge of
being an accessory to the stabbing.
The wounded man was then conveyed
to the office of Dr. Dreyfus, at the oor
ner of Lafayette and Baronne streets,
where his wound was examined and pro
nounced mortal. He was afterwards
taken to his residence, No. 2513 French
*men street, where three physicians were
in attendance on him, and they ex
pressed the same opinion as Dr.
Dreyfus.
The aocused is still at large, but being
well known to the police, he has but
little chance of evading capture.

Lally was arrested by Sergeant Gill

A JUVMEKILU TRUAP.
(Charlle Williams on lls Tour in sear.h
of a irortune.
There was a bright vivaolous glam
in his hazel eye that told of a roguish
truant disposltion, and when he twil.tl
himself into a dozen impoesible pOee.
tions and then mounted the lamp poet,
he came out in his true character.
Name bharlie Williams, age twelve
years, ran away from his sister in Mo
bile last week and came to New Orleans
on a freight train. Has tyro boarding
houses, the steamer Thompson Dean
and another where he gets his "grub,"
sleeps on the steps in Eechange alley
"on Gov. Warmoth's new building."
Pretty good place to sleep, a little hard,
perhaps. Strolls about during the day
and gets a job when he can. Is going
down to the jetties on the Lee to-day.
If they don't allow him on board he
will stow himself away.
He was dressed in a grey suit of lin
sey woolsey and bore himself with that
self-confident air that showed he was
perfectly self-reliant.
By way of jest some of the gentlemen
standing near him on Canal street, yes
terday, sald to the little boy: "Now,
aint you trying to deceive us? ain't you
Charlie Ross?" The little fellow stepped
back and with iueffable scorn in his
face, replied: "No siree Bob I Yer can't
come that over me. That Charlie Ross
job is played out on boys and we won't
stand it any longer. I know what yer
up to. Yor want to take me to Phila
delphia and make some money out of
of me. That's what yer want."
Another suggested that he was Na
than's murderer in disguise, but he
proudly turned and dellantly respond
ed: "Nathan be blowed ; an old burglar
nailed him, and yer can't lay that at my
door."
The boy then exhibited a ticket from
a Chinese laundry, setting forth that
the bearer was entitled, on payment of
25 cents, to two colored calico shirts.
lHe said that when he got his shirts he
generally left them In some office, and
then went for them once a week. The
boy is evidently a truant, but he cer
tainly has courage and says he will
never beg.
ARSON.
An Ineendlary's Third Attempt to Ilurn
an Unorupied huilding.
At about 12 o'clock last night, a fire
was discovered in the rear portion of
the unoccupied two-story frame build
ing on Union street, between Morales
and Goodohildren streets. Officer Bolsu
extinguished the flames, which had
caused but slight damage, and on ex
amining the building found that the
weatherboarding had been saturated
with coal oil.
While the officer was extinguishing
the flames a negro man broke out of the
house and jumped over a rear fence.
The officer gave chase and fired two
allots at the supposed incendiary, but
without effect, and he succeeded in
making good his escape. This is the
third attempt made to burn this build
ing and the third time the flames have
been extinguished by the same officer.

Brutus Ducammon, an artist, may
have a very bold touch when with a
brush in hand but the artistic manner
in which he wielded a poker about the
head of Officer Farrell would force one
to believe that he had mistaken his vo

was to annihilate a fellow knight of the
brush--a Mr. H. Rudolph, his rival.
The latter not wishing to become in
volved in a personal diilleulty called on
Officer Farrell to take Brutus to jail,
but when the oicer started to carry out
the law by bringing his man to jail,
Brutus seized an iron poker and assail.

RAMBUiCTIOIN.
Offie'r O'Neli Reads thie Riot Art, to a
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 a
disturbance, congregated a large num
ber of negroes around him at 1 o'clock
Sunday morning, at the corner of Lafa
yette and Liberty streets, and with in
cendiary speeches tried to urge them
to incite a 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 O'Nell,
who arrested him and locked him up in
the Central Station on the charge of
disturbing the peace and attempting to
incite a riot.
TIHE FI'IEMEN'* PICNIC.
The 'first firemen's picnic of the sea

than he changed his mind, and struck

On reaching the levee he was arrested

he did intend to commit suicide, but the

The Oakland C£our~ e Festival.
There were between four and five
thousand people yesterday at QOakland
Course. The attraction was the compli
mentary festival given to their friends
by the German Harmony Clubs, of
which Mr. Henry ,Jurgons and our old
friend Papa Stureken are presidents, the
former of the Carrollton club and the
latter of the New Orleans club.
It was in every respect a rural festival
full of enjoyment and characteristic of
the German people. There was bunting
in profusion, the standards of all the
enlightened nations being strung across
the numerous paths; music of the best
quality, and eatables and beverages of
all kinds.
The most popular feature of this sim
ple yet charming tete was the dancing,
as many as a thousand couples occupy
ing at the same time the vast dancing
platforms of the grounds and the lawns
In the immediate vicinity. The affair
was such a splendid success that it will
in all probability be repeated next year,
and we can only hope that the same
committee who managed this festival
will then have charge of the arrange
ments.

WVAItMING A MERPENT.
'ro Men and a Ilorme Hilled bly HBydro
phombir Cal.
iN. Y. Herald, April 15.)
On the 2d1 of last January Robert
Dickie, aged eighteen, residing at No.
235 East Thirtieth street, and working
in the plumbing establishment of John
Finn. No. 501 Third Avenue, saw a poor
emaciated cat, half frozen, in the snow
in the yard connected with the shop,
and brought it in to warm and feed it.
Just as he was entering the shop the
cat seized him by the thumb, lacerating
it and his hand in a terrible manner.
Half mad with pain, he tried in vain
to shake off the infuriated animal. He
then put his hand on the ground, and
placing his knee on the beast, succeed
ed in drawing lhis hand from its clutch
es, and he then stood on the beast and
killed it. The wounds finally healed
up, and he thought no more about the
matter until Sunday last, when lihe was
seize3d with pain in his hand and arm,
and soon exhibited strong symptoms of
hydrouphobia.
An officer was summoned yeterdray
morning by Mr. Dickio to come into his
house and look at hirs son, who was be
having in the most strange and violent
mannor. Tihe officer found tihe boy in
his room, perfectly rabid,.nqualling liko
a cat and attempting to bite every one
that came near him. An ambulance
wats sent for, and in It young Dickie was
carriedl to Bollevue Hospital. When he
arrived there Dr. Griswold examined
him and found it necessary to put the
patient under restraint.
Accordingly he was taken to one of
the cells for insane people put in a
strait .i cket and strapped down to the
bed. He had lucid intervals, but during
their continuance his voice had a re
markably low tone.
A IIEARTRENDINO SCENE.
His poor father visited Robert during
one of these moments of peace, and the
boy recognized him.
"Shall I bring your mother?" said the
father.
"No, no," replied the boy in the queer
low tones. "Don't bring mamma nere.
I'd be dead before she could get here."
Mr. Dickie bent lovingly over his
stricken son and wiped the sweat from
his brow; but even while he touched
him an awful change came over the
lad's face. It was distorted by a fright
ful expression, accompanied by a
strange action of the throat, and a mo
ment later Robert was in the throes of
another convulsion, gasping, squalling
and spitting. His father was led away.
Later in the day Mr. Finn, his employ
er, accompanied by a keeper, chose an
opportune spell of quietude and entered
the cell. He, too, Robert recognized.
At about 3:30 p. m., Dlckie died in
one of the cells used for the insane in
the hospial. Samuel Richardson died
of hydrophobia. The same animal's
bite proved fatal to both. It is said that
the cat, the cause of so much misery,
bit a horse in January, and that the an
imal has since died.
There are now in operation in New
Hampshire 1000 miles of railroad, which
cost $35,.000,000, and their net profits are
$1 000,000 or about tbree per cent. The
value of the roades now is about $15,000,
00', and a large proportion of them do
f(jt pay one per cent on their cost.

Delay and Remolution of the Dsltrlct
Judge-A Bloody Terminatlon-Four
Men Hilled.
[dhreveporl Times, April 10.]
After a good deal of talk and delay, to
the obstruction of justice, our sister
State of Texas yesterday got her pris
oners who have been incarcerated in
our jail, as we said she would. Judge
Boarman decided that the order of Gov.
Nicholls was not directed to him, and
that there was no 'evidence before him
that it had been presented to the proper
officers for action. Those who had
charge of it then presented it to Mr.
Henner, who, like the sensible gentle.
man and effective Sheriff that he is, and
always has been, promptly recognized
its authority and delivered up the pris
oners to the agent appointed to receive
them.
Mr. Heffner delivered up the prison
ers to Capt. Love about llt o'clock, and
after the morning train had departed.
Fearing another habeas corpus, which,
it was understood, was in course
of preparation, Capt. Love hired a hack
at Caldwell's stable, and employing
Charley Dewing to assist him. departed
for Texas about 12 o'clock. The party
consisted of Love, Dewing, Eldridge
Swanson, the colored driver and the
three negro prisoners, whose feet were
firmly manacled, but their arms were
free. Love and Dewing were armed,
having pistols and knives. Love was
very kind to the prisoners, and seemed
disposed to show them every favor.
When about two miles beyond Green
wood, and near the Texas line, one of
the negroes complained of
IEING EUN(IRY
and asked Capt. Love to give him some
thing to eat. While Love was cutting
the meat one of the prisoners, named
Giles, seized his pistol and attempted to
wrench it from him, in which he suc
ceeded. Another grasped Dewing by the
throat, and in the general scuffle the
whole party fell out of the hack. Sev
eral shots were fired by the prisoners.
Love was shot in the breast and
INSTANTLY KILLED,
the shot entering at the right nipple,
ranging downward and coming out
under the left shoulder. B]efore being
shot, however, he had used his knife
with considerable effect, cutting one of
the prisoners quite severely. Pistols
were then drawn on Dewing, who, in
reply to their demand, gave up, and
his life was spared. EldridIge was asked
to give up, which he of course did, but
held on to the reins. i)ewing, having
another pistol, got behind a tree and
COMMENCED IRI(NO
on the prisoners, one of whom he thinks
he wounded. lie was himself shot in
the leg, but is not seriously hurt. The
negroes made their escape. Dewing and
the driver then placed Love's body
in the hack and returned to the city, ar
riving about8 o'clock. The news spread
rapidly, and created
GREAT EXCITEMENT
wherever it was talked over. Captain
Love's body was placed in a room over
the Marble Hall, on Texas street, near
Market, in front of which a large crowd
was assembled. An inquest was held on
the body by Gus Marshall, coroner, with
the following jury: Dr. G. W. Kendall,
foreman; R. B. Barns, A. B. Weaver, A.
P. Williams and W. Slaughter. Dr.
Whitworth was the examining physi
cian. The verdict was in accordance
with the above facts. Mr. Dewing was

THE DENOUEMENT.
While the coroner's inquest was hold
ing, the news came of the killing of the
prisoners by the people of the Green
wood neighborhood, and is perfectly re
liable. The neighborhood was thor
oughly aroused, and it was evident that
the prisoners must be captured, as they
were bound together and could not
make good time in escaping. They
were soon overtaken by the party but
showed fight and were determined not
to be taken alive. They used the pistols
vigorously which they had taken from
Love and Dewing. Mr. Alonzo Flour

WOUNDED IN THE NBCK,

were, however, fired on by the pursuing
