A DESPERATE ENCoUNTER-IWO LEAD
ING CITIZENS SHOOT EACH OTHER TO DEATH.
Last Thursday evening an appalling rem
contre occurred between two of our wor-
thiest citizens, which resulted in the killing
of each by the hand of the other. The IN
fortunate gentlemen we're Mr.. 8. H. Wilson
and Mr.. C. ". Boyd. Both were owners of
valuable lots with adjoining boundaries,
lying on the east side of Main street, and
occupied by large buildings. A bayou runs
through the Boyd property, and washes a
corner Of the Wilson lot. MIR. Boyd, to pre-
vent the caving and deepening of the bayou
under his house, had thrown dam across
it, which caused the water during hard
rains sometimes to back into one of Mr..
Wilson'S Easements. A misunderstanding
ensued between them in consequence, but
which their friends thought had been ami
cably settled some time since. Itseems, how
ever, thatthey had an angry alteration about
the matter that afternoon, in the course of
which Boyd struck Wilson in the face with
his fist. The latter resented the insult as
mortal, and warned the former to be ready
to defend himself, as he would directly get
his arms and seek Boyd. They met soon
after on the pavement in front Of the store
of W. II. Mangum & Son, and commenced
firing at distance of about FIVE PAGES from
each other. Every ball that was shot from
each pistol found its man, Wilson pressing
forward until they were muzzle TO breast
Wilson received FIVE bullets. Boyd was
struck in the right groin, or just above it
and second ball entered somewhat tc
his left side, below the ribs, ranged ur
through the stomach and lungs, and lodged
under the skin on the right side of his chest
towards the back. He was taken home and
died next morning. Both we're good men, and
both leave most estimable families, in deep
sympathy with whose irreparable losses al
citizens, without exception, sincerely unite

When dispute arises between Roman
Catholic bishop and his flock, the Holy See
is very apt to decide in favor of the former.
Such has been the case with regard to the
troubles at Chicago, although the bishop
was charged with gross neglect of business
and incompetency. Although the Rev. DR..
McMullen went to Rome to back them up,
the Pope has sustained the bishop, and DR..
MeMullen and Mr.. ROLES, the protesting
priests, have been compelled to apologize.
In view Of this, the bishop has restored
them to the exercise of their functions, and,
as We are informed by the Catholic Mirror,
assigned them " suitable places in the do
cess" -Baltimor american.

Adispatch to the New York Herald says
I" The name Of Colonel Parker, formerly OF
General Grants staff, has been frequently
mentioned In connection with the Office OF
Commissioner Of Indian affairs. In reply
to western senator who was urging Park
er's. appointment, the President said that
there was but one obstacle in the way, and
that was that Colonel Parker, being an
Indian, was not citizen Of the United
States, and on that account he doubted his
eligibility for the Office. He added that he
had got into one scrspe about appointing a
man who was ineligible to an Office "a. T.
Stewart}, and he did not propose to repeat
the mistake"
