Stealing a shirt.
--James Coggin, a person dressed in soldier clothes, was put in the cage yesterday evening for stealing a shirt from A. Harris and threatening to shoot Raphael Coffman.
Defendant was first taken in custody by Alderman Sanxay, to whom he offered the most determined resistance without any avail.
Suicide.
--Acting Coroner Sanxay was summoned yesterday morning to the house of Mr. Wm. H. Leech, on Madison, near Broad street, to investigate the circumstances attending the death of Miss Eliga Aun Nowlan, his housekeeper, who, soon after her breakfast, was found in her bed in an unconscious state, evidently produced by poison of some kind, and shortly thereafter expired, though everything was done that could be by Dr. Davis, who was summoned and soon in attendance.
On examination, evidence of poison could plainly be discovered, showing that death was self- inflicted.--Deceased was about nineteen years of age, born of English parents in South America.
Her disposition was represented as amiable and her temper cheerful.
No evidence was produced to show the special kind of agent used by the unfortunate young woman in taking her own life and the only possible excuse offered and alleged for the act is found in the fact that a few days since she was mildly chided by Mr. Leech for

Inquest.
--Coroner Sanxay yesterday held an inquest at the Central Depot over the remains of Mr. Wm. T. Paine, watchman employed by the road.--From the evidence it appeared that about 2 o'clock yesterday morning, Paino, who was armed with a musket, got on one of the engines which was being fired up, for the purpose of warming himself — While standing in front of the furnace leaning on his musket, one of the hands began to pitch wood in the tender.
It is supposed that a piece of the wood struck the trigger of the musket and exploded the cap. The piece was discharged and tore off three of his fingers and blew the top of his head off. The verdict of the jury was that the deceased came to his death by accident.
Mr. Paine was an unmarried man, very much respected for his honesty, and prior to the present troubles was a section master on the Central road.
Coroner Sanxay
was sent for on yesterday to view the body of an infant found lying dead at the house of its parents, corner of 19th and Main streets. It had died so suddenly that it was deemed necessary that the Coroner should be informed.
We are informed that a wake, or some kind of similar gathering, was held at the house of its parents a few days since, and that it is likely some potation of a detrimental nature was administered to keep the infant quiet during its progress.
This potat so suddenly that it was deemed necessary that the Coroner should be informed.
We are informed that a wake, or some kind of similar gathering, was held at the house of its parents a few days since, and that it is likely some potation of a detrimental nature was administered to keep the infant quiet during its progress.
This potation proved too strong for the little one, and so, after struggling for a few days, it died.
Coroner Sanxay did not deem it necessary to hold an inquest on the body.
Sudden death.
--Coroner Sanxay was summoned yesterday to hold an inquest over the remains of Josephine Denny, a boarder at the house of Belle Jones, in Locust Alley, in rear of the Richmond Varletles, who deceased suddenly yesterday morning without previous illness.
It was stated in proof that the deceased had lately united herself in marriage with a man named Charles F. Denny, a reputed member of the Caskie Rangers, that before and after that event they had several disagreements, and that he left on Monday with the announcement that he was going to Baltimore, after which she became low-spirited, and commenced drinking to excess.
It was at first thought that Denny had poisoned her, but this supposition gave way before the more plausible one that she had ended her life by excessive dissipation.
This was the opinion, we believe, held by the medical gentleman who was called to view the body, which was that of an apparently young, hale and hearty female.

Inquest.
--An inquest was held by acting Coroner Sanxay on Thursday last at 9 o'clock in the morning, at the bowling saloon of T. R. Stewart & Co., on 10th street, between Main and Cary, on the body of George Washington Carlon, a member of the First regiment Louisiana volunteers, who, from the evidence, it appeared had been murdered about 9 o'clock on Wednesday night, on the above premises, by William Maloney, a Baltimorean, formerly belonging to the First Maryland regiment.--The jury, on examination, found that the deceased had been stabbed through the left side with a bowie knife, and had received three cuts on the head, each one of which penetrated the brain.
The quarrel which led to the murder was about the manner in which Maloney rolled in a game of ten pins between himself and deceased.
Words led to blows, and those to the use of the knife.
Maloney, who is a much stouter man than deceased, had been drinking, but knew what he was about.
The jury returned a verdict of mu
Another Marder,
--Coroner Sanxay was called upon yesterday to hold an inquest over the body of Michael Leary, found lying dead at this own house, on Grace, between 17th and Union streets. Deceased's death was the result of an affray between himself and one Jno, Murray, on Thursday night of last week.
He breathed his last Sunday night. By the evidence of James McCormick, a resident of Henrico, it appeared that he arrived in the city and sought the domicil of Leary for lodgings. --While on his way thither, between 9 and 10 o'clock at night on Thursday, he met Murray, who proposed to accompany him. He did so. On their arrival they found Leary's family had retired.
Leary got up, opened the door, and invited McCormick in. For some reason, he objected to the presence of Murray, and told him he had better go home; he could not get lodgings there.
Murray insisted upon going in, and thrust himself into the house.
Leary laid hold of Murray to eject him. McCormick, after advising.
