Jump, from flic < mil s| ri( , t Ferry Hoot, at New Orient., From the Times-Democrat of the 2nd, we clip the following: At 5:60 o'clock last evening M. X. Outlew, a young man aged twenty-seven years, a jeweler by occupation «„,1 a native of Memphis, Term., committed sni-1 oide by jumping into the river from the stern of the Canal street ferry boat just as the boat reached the mlddle of the stream. Aids Kerwin and Pecora, besides several other persons who were on the boat at the time, saw the man as hç leaped into the river and rushed to the side of the boat In the hope of saving him , , . ... 1 he boat was stopped and iife-pre servers were thrown near the spot where Outlaw went down, in case he , • .... . , , ,, , should rise that he might be aide to , ,, ,, . ... , , . keep himself afloat until rescued, but he never rose. An investigation revealed the fact that an ill-spent life and an over-in dulgence in whisky were the causes that led tu the act. Having been convicted in Memphis and senten ced to the penitentiary for shooting and wounding, but subsequently pardoned by the Oovenor, Outlaw came to New Orleans in search of a home and employment. Being an excellent workman in his line lie had no trouble in getting work at the jewelry establishment of Mr, Math leu Bergez, 116 Chartres street.

Between 8 j and !l o'clock yesterday morning lie visited Mr. Bergez, and meeting the gentleman's daughter, told lier he was sick and was going to the hospi tal. She subsequently saw him on lier return from market drinking in a saloon. He visited several saloons and by noon was very much intoxi cated. He repaired to the ferry wharfj early in the evening and attempted I to jump into the river, hut was pro- ; vented hy some gentlemen. The fer ry boat put in nil appearance about t liât time and he hoarded her. While tlie boat was crossing the river he drew hie penknife and tried to cut a colored employe of the boat, When tlie boat readied Algiers he lefe tlie boat, saying he was going to i visit a friend. Later on he returned ; to New Orleans by tlie Third Dis- 1 triet ferry. I About 5 o'clock he met a gentleman j on Canal Street and invited him togo j into a saloon, No. 23 Canal Street. styled "My Partner," and take a j drink. He then asked the barkeeper ; to give him a bottle of whisky, re -1 * marking, as tlie bartender was tilling | ' a Hostetler bottle: "Give ineaplen ty of it, as it is going to be my last ! drink." " With the bottle of whisky under his j arm lie left tlie saloon and went in j the direction of the river. Reaching 1 L the ferry ofiicc he paid his fare and ! went down the walk to the ferry ; wharf. The boat was not there, and lie took »seat on one of tile benches to await lier arrival. While seated there he took off his hat and tore out of it a hatband of rolled gold, on which had been painted in neat let ters, "M. N. evidently a present from some fair friend of his. As he placed it carelessly lu his coat pock et an old negro said to liim: "You may lose that sir." He replied: "It don't matter much now whether I do or not." The ferry boat arrived, and with the other possengers he went on board. As soon as lie was on board he went up stairs and into tlie cabin. While there he removed tlie contents a da of his vest and pants pockets and placed them into his coat pocket. This done, he rushed out of the cabin 1 then down stairs and to the stern of the boat. Placing tlie bottle of wliis- j ky to Ilia mouth he drank about n quarter of It, threw otf his coat and ! ,, hat, and to some one near remarked, [ "Give my effects to Steward Hotard," j and plunged into the river.
