Be it known that on this day, before me, Alexander Emile Bienvenu, a notary publlo in and for this city and pariah of Orleans, State of Louisiana, duly commissioned and sworn, personally came and appeared before me Mrs. Kate Townsend, residing in this city, who, being in good health and of sound mind and judgment, as she appeared to me, said notary, and to Messrs. Wil belmus A. Bienvenu, Alexis Robert and Edward Fulton, witnesses, of lawful age hereto required and domiciliated in that city, declared that, being about to absent herself temporarily from that city, and in view of the uncertainty of life, she wished to have her last will and teat'ament drawn up by me in my official capacity, wbereupon said Mrs. Kate Townsend dictated to the undersigned notary, in presence of said witnesses, her last will aud testament as follows, to wit: My name is Kate Townsend.

I have no father or mother living, and have no forced heir.

The general impression among those versed in the statutes seemed to be that the legatee annulled his right to any of the property Dy reason or nis on me, out not a lew held a decidedly contrary opinion. 'Sykes has been visited by quite a number of his lends, and they state that he has become more cheerful within the oast few davs. and that he still adheres to his plea of selt Rumors of all kinds are afloat regarding ice muraer, ana strange stones are reiatea.

Before bearing the witnesses, the State announced that it would go on with the examination without the testimony of the woman Jennie Brunett, as she was a con vict and could not testify, and in conse quence thereof she had not been subpoenaed. out tney wouia prove oy otner witnesses that the prisoner was the person who struck ner.

sue nan oeen summoned sne would doubtless testify as she haddsne in previous eases, that they both had a fight and she was as much to blame as he was. The counsel for tbe defendant was some what surprised and objected to these pro ceedings, aa he thought the person who had been beaten should be in court. The Question of being a convict should first be proven by the records. The Court saw the condition of her face after the ter rible beating she had received and instrust ed her to come to court when notified, but as she had not been notified, for the reasons stated above, she did not come. The counsel waived all cross examination and asked that his objections be taken down In writing, as he desired to use them before the higher court.

The evidence was then heard and the ao sused sent before the Criminal Court under $250 bonds. The state maoe out a very poor case, as the witnesses all went back on their previous statements. AN EX POLICE AN AS A SNEAK THIEF. On last Monday night two white men enured the house of ill fame No. 12.

Poyneer, the dishonest freight clerk of tke New Orleans Pacific Railroad, for whose arrest such strenuous efforts were made by both the regular police and Far rell's detective agency, was arrested last week in Oregon, and is now on his way to this city in the custody of hto captors, and Is expected to arrive to day. Poyneer, it to said, was arrested on the description and photograph distributed throughout the country by Capt. Farrell when the large reward was offered by the Texas and Pacific Railroad for his arrest. Pdyneerhaa thus far proved a slippery customer aud as the police are by no means sure that his esoort will reach New Orleans safely with their prisoner, their information being very vague, they thought beet not to make the matter publlo. i ppyneer.

tuWS earl pr oi was suspected of roguery. Tnirty three. bales of cotton, in transit via the Texas aud Pacino Railroad, had mysteriously disap rearea, ana private aetecuves were en gaged to ferret out the thief aud discover hat had become of the cotton. The web thfT wove gradually closed around the KUilty parties but Poyneer took the alarm 011 a ned. 'The cotton wag; subsequently re covered in a picxery on religious street, and two parties suspected being Impli cated were arrestea.

I Poyneer had relatives residing" In Pnn 1 an, New York, and Dactective Gaster, who was also looking for Fovneer, got on his traek. He telegraphed to Chief ot Polloo A.

THE FALSE ALARMS. On Which City Fire Department Is i Kackinc Itself te The false fire alarmists had things their own way last night, and no less than three false alarms were sounded before midnight. The first alarm was turned in from box 85, corner of Market and Chippewa streets, at a quarter to 10 o'clock.

The box was found closed and no key in the lock. On opening the box a piece of thin wire was found twisted around the hook, leading to the belief that the box had been opened 'during the day, the wire inserted and the end left banging out ready to be pulled whenever the operator felt disposed oc tha opportu nity offered to do so. At naif past 10 o'clock an alarm was eounfced from box lis. corner of Burgundy and Toulouse streets, which was also found to oe raise, xne box was iouna eiosea ana it was plain that a master key had been used. At a ouarter Dast 11 o'clock a third false alarm was sounded from box 121, corner of Canal and Rampart streets, and there a key was found sticking in the box.

it is believed tnat 11 a aeterminea enort were made by the officers of the Fire Department tbe numerous false alarms could be prevented. Several years ago the Chief Engineer, in his annual report, estimated the cost of each false alarm at $30, in the wear and tear of engines and other rolling stock alone. As matters now stand, nearly all the engines are laid up for rerairs at the shop, and the horses are so Jaded and racked br their freouent races over' the rough cobble stones and pavements aa to be siiutni uuacriiwiiuio, Last night as the hose Carriage of Lou isiana Hose Company was abont to leave the engine house in answer te the. alarm from box 121 the horse became fractious and jumped upon Mr. Joseph Madden, who was.

holding him by the head, seriously injuring him about the left side of the faoe. The injured man was taken to Schmidt's drug store, where his injuries were dressed ELECTION NEWS AT COM HERCIAIi CLUB.

Ceatesc vrtth Steinits has thus far played four games with Martinez, winning three and drawing one. The following account of tha fourth game to from the Philadelphia Times, of Saturday: At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon Stemltz and Martinez eat down to their accustomed table at the Philadelphia Chess Club, put their little clocks in motion, smiled upon each other with their accustomed courtesy and began their fourth game of chess. Mr. fetuinitz again opened with the gambit of his own invention, and his adversary met it with the series of checks introduced by Mackenzie, of New York. At this point gan the Extraordinary part of the game, telnitz sacrificed another pawnand played for position in an open field.

In move twelve Martinez made a slight error, but so well did he recoup himself in after play that on moves 23, 24 and 25 he executed such uncommonly brilliant play that it required all of the ily Austrian's cunning and fore sight to secure the win, which, he finally did in neat style.
