The Case of Isaac HOckaday.

We copy this from the St. Louis Repnb-
icdn:
The bankruptcy case. in which Mr.. Isaac
Hockaday Is concerned, pending before
Register Eaton, presents some rather in
teresting features. 1t is case of second
bankruptcy, Hockady having gone through
the bankruptcy process voluntarily before
Register Eaton in 1868 He was at that
time a clerk for E. G. Morse, successor Of
Strobe & Rubey, who were among the first
involuntary bankrupts in ST. Louis. After
obtaining his discharge, Hockaday pur-
chased from Morse store owned by the lat
ter at Iazoo City, Mississippi, and went into
business on his own account few months
ago Hockaday came to St. Louis and sue
ceeded in making a purchase of goods on
credit. to- the amount Of about $4,000, for
his store. Instead of taking the goods to
lazoo City, he shipped the larger portion to
New Orleans and disposed of them at a
great sacrifice for cash His creditors, on
being apprised of this proceeding, arrested
him on the Iron Mountain Railroad while
returning to st. Louis. The officers found
on his person $13,5OO. To avoid prosecu-
ton, he surrendered this money and his
stock OF goods remaining at YazoO City to
his creditors, and was released. He has
since, it is alleged, disappeared.

THE MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING AF.
FAIR.
Who Shot Mike McCO0le.

The telegraph has already mentioned the
shooting of Mike McCoole. We copy these
particulars from the st. Louis Democrat:
About half-past eleven o'clock last night,
the report of pistol was heard in Nc
Coolies saloon ON Fifth street, and an in.
stant after man reeled from the door, and
falling down the steps, was caught in the
arms of some of the people passing He
said he had been shot, and as he was bleeding
prOfusely from a wound over the left eve,
he was promptly taken to Alexander's drug
store, where the clerk was aroused and pro
ceeded to dress his wound. Between fright
and intoxicatiOn, the man was perfectly un-
nerved, and nothing could be ascertained
from him except that his name was John A.
Maffit; that he was from st. Charles county.
Maryland, and that the police ought not to
allow him to be shot right in the city. The
spectators freely expressed their sympathy
for him, as it was supposed the wound had
crazed him.
After washing the blood from his face.
however, it was found that he had not been
shot, but struck with some heavy weapon
on the left eyebrow. in which was found q
triangular cut nearly an inch in length The
curiosity of the spectators was aroused, and
most of them returned to the saloon, in the
rear of which they found McCoole sitting,
with his left shirt sleeve rolled up, while
DR.. Jones was probing pistol wound in the
left forearm, near the elbow The curiosity
of the crowd increased, as they knew Maffit
had no pistol, and could not have wounded
McCOole. They accordingly crowded
around the giant, and eagerly listened while
he was questioned by the policemen and re-
pOrters present.
Mike, however, declined to give any ex-
planatiOn of the affair, and soon after arose,
took drink, and started for the doctors
Office to have the ball extracted. The
wound was, apparently made by the ball
of large pistol, which had broken one of
the large bones of the arm, and glanced
downward toward the wrist, where it
lodged.
Frrom what could last night be ascer-
tanned, it appears that a row occurred in
the saloon about ten minutes before the
shooting, in which friend of Mafit had
been put out. A difficulty then occurred
between Matfit and some unknown man,
when Maffit was struck with the butt of
pistol in the others hands, which caused the
wound over Maffits eye. The blow also
discharged the weapon and the ball struck
McCOole, who was short distance behind.
McCOOle and all the witnesses of the affair
refused to tell anything about it, but it was
afterward stated that Tom kehOe was the
man who struck Mafit. The police were
consequently instructed to look Kehoe up,
and it is probable that the particulars of the
whole affair will be ascertained to-day.

the King of Prussia had dismissed tha
French Minister and given him passports.

vanced to l3 before the board.
After the formal opening of the, room,

French ambassador at Berlin had been
given his passports by the King Of Prussia.
Gold afterward reacted to 1874 but soon
after rallied to 131a, when warlike reports
were received. Markets afterward receded
to l3A; and became comparatively quiet.
Late in the afternoon, fluctuations not so
wide as during the morning.
Later kilograms were to the effect that
the French ministry had not resigned-that
the cOnvOcatiOn Of the German Parliament
was imminent, and that Secretary Fish
thought war was inevitable. These tele-
grams, as a whole, had tendency to stiffen

VISIT TO THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER
AND LAKE BORGNE CANAL.

A drive of two hours down the coast
brings us to the old Phillipon plantation,
where we are courteously received by Cap
tain D. S. Walton, the experimenting
engineer, whose reputation, by the way, in
hydraulic engineering is scarcely second to
that of William j. McAlpin, whose associate
he has been in some of the most important
among others. Having taxed Captain Wal
toms hospitality, which he dealt to US with
princely grace in his tidy little cabin, he
took seat with us in the carriage, and
being driven to convenient point, where
he had ordered boat to be in readiness, we
were successfully towed, rowed and sailed
until we reached the lake end of the canal.
Here we Were landed at the old fortress,
now known as MartellO. Tower, formerly as
Castle Dupre, and after short indulgence
in the delightful view, and the luscious sea-
breeze, we started upon our return.
Our run down was so hurried, that we
had little time to examine the immense out
fit, but what that "Outfit had accom-
plished struck us as stupendous. On our
return, we took leisure to examine the va
rious dredge-boats and their appurtenances.
Of these dredge-boats there are six, the
most approved style, each capable of .ex-
cavating one thousand yards per day. If
our space permitted we would like to de-
scribe at length the working of these
" dredgers," but we can give it but few
words. Each boat is accompanied. when
necessary, by platform or scow upon
which works a steam derrick, attached to
this derrick is a receiver; into which is de-
posted the charge of the scoop, and by this
process the dirt is thrown distance of from
one hundred and twenty to one hundred
and fifty feet The machinery alone, now
being used upon this canal could not have
costqess than 5000, 900; every piece oft seems
to have been adopted with sole regard to
strength and adaptability, and yet all is of
the most elegant finish.
The work is now more than half done,
and promises to be completed before JAN
uary next, and no one doubts that it will be
an immense avenue for trade. Any such
work as this is inspiring to us, and We can
scarcely say enough in praise.
We were accompanied, or rather, we ac
companied General NJ. JEFF. Thompson, the
Chief Engineer of. the State, to whose pa
tient explanations we areas we have fire.
quently been before-indebted for much
valuable information. Captain Bradley,
hydraulic engineer of the Jackson and
Great Northern Railroad, was also of the
party.
