KEESER GUARDs.-This is the name of a COM
pany being organized by the veteran of 1914 and
Is, Capt. John Price, who carries many an honor
able scar received not only in defence of the city
on the memorable 8th Of January, but through all
the wars Of that period. AS may be surmised, the
company ia named after orr fellow citizen Duncan
T. enner member of the Confederate Congress.
They lave now forty.eight men on their roll, and
as soon as the full complement of men is made up,
it is their intention to go into aotiTe service in de-
fence of the State. Active men who would like
to pitch in under man who knows what he is
about, could do no better than JON the Kenner
Guards. Capt. Price will put them through all
right, sure. -.,

heavy cabre arrived in this city YESTERDAY, from
Norfolk, Va. They ARE designed ior the defence
of the city.
FINDINGS OF TIE GRAND JrRy.-The Grand Jury
yesterday found true bill in the case of Patrick
Hogan for shooting with intent to murder.
DESPERATE RENCoNTRE.--T Testerday afternoon,
about O'Clock, an ARRAY occurred at the corner
of Rampant and St. Philippe streets, Third District
between Messrs. Edward Dusumier and Edgar Des-
forges, which was desperate and bloody. Both
drew reVolvers and commenced firing, almost
every shot taking effect Nine shots were e1-
changed before the combatants were separated,
when both parties we're severely wounded in
several places. Mr.. Dusumier's wounds are thought
to be mortal, as several of his adversarys shots
took effect in his body and abdomen. We were
unable to learn anything reliable as to the cause
of the quarrel, or who made the first attack but
it is probable that this meeting was expected by
both parties, and they were prepared for it. The
young men are said to be cousins and belong to
old md highly respectable Creole families of this
city. They were taken home Immediately to their
friends.
ANOTHER SHOOTING AFFAIR.-A man named
Thomas Maher shot another named Jerry sullivan
yesterday afternoon at the corner of Annunciation
and Richard streets. Sullivan's wound is in the
hip, and is very serious if not dangerous one.
Maher says that the shooting was done in self.de-
fence, as sulyoo1ss,s,,lld have killed him If he had
80. oh+ L; euef{ea'tI ..- ,z LIB, 49, :;
the upper First District station. Sullivan was sent
to the Charity Hospital.
CoUNTERFEITER DETECTED AND ARREsTED.-On
Thursday night, Lieut.. Costley, of the Fourth Dis
trict, arrested an italian named Andre Fey upon
the charge of being eounterfeiter and Inanufac-
tSrer of bogus coin. Filley is one of the gang of
Sfcilians whose hes dquarters were broken up by
Lieut.. Ramel, some weeks ago and the police
} were aware that he had removed FROM the Second
District to some point in the upper part of the city,
but until the night on which this arrest was made
he managed to evade their vigilance. On the night
in question, Lieut.. Costey saw him in St. Mary IS
market and Immediately started after him; bui
Filey broke and ran. He was caught, however,
after chase Of few squares, aud taken to the
Fourth District lookup. Upon his person there
were found bogus coin representing SC, besides
other articles Of a suspicious nature.
After much trouble, Lieut.. Costey succeeded il
finding out that the rascal lodged in small house
Felicity street, and at proceeded to search
the premises. The result Of this search was the
discovery of lot OF dies moulds, acids and many
other articles and machines used in the nlanufac-
turing o. base coin, together with four hundred
counterfeit half dollar pieces, quite quantity OF
dimes GnG ricayunes, and daguerreotype like
ness Of tie gent himself These were all taken to
| the lookup, but Fiey swore he never saw any OF
them before, but of course he could not make any,
| body believe that he had never used them. He
soon changed his tone, and pretended that he was
engaged spying out the proceedings of the counter
feiters in the city and put to work by the de-
| tect7es of tie Second District. He ezpostulated
| much at being detained, declaring that it would
spoil q game he was playing, and for which he had
| been arranging for month. He did not get out
| however, and we presume that Recorder Adams
! will examine into his case to-day.
w ACCIDENT ON TIE CRY RAILROAD--L woman
| named Emma Mason was run over by the city rail
road cars on Thursday night, at the Halfway
