CaIcasieu Sulphur Mining Company.
From the Galveston Bulletin


We received visit from Mr.. William B.
Koontz, of New Orleans, who is on visit
to this CITY in connection with the Calcasieu
Sulphur Mining Company, in which he is
largely Interested. Messrs. William Hend-
ley & Co., are the agents and bankers of
the company in this city. The Calcasieu
Sulphur Mining Company is one of the
great enterprises of the Gay, and a most
wonderful one for the South. The original
object was hunt for petroleum, as there
were oil indications on4the surface: The
clay les feet, quicksand 172 feet, and rock
lO4 feet, when, instead of OF, they struck a
bed of pure, marketable, chrystalized sui
phur. The bed of sulphur is l0S feet deep,
some thick and some thin layers of pure sui
phur, and the rest mixture of sulphur and
limestone. The poorest sulphur ore is sixty
per cent sulphur. Compared with Sicily
sulphur ore, which is tlirty-four per cent,
there is 100 per cent advantage in favor of
Calcasieu. The extent of the bed, or the
inclination of the deposit, can not be ascer-
tanned yet.
They have secured from France the very
best machinery to develOpe the mine. Su-
perior engines, powerful pumps, safe hoist
ing works and closely jOinted iron tubing to
sink in a shaft. This must be air and water
tight TO pass through the layer of quicksand
one hundred and twenty-seven feet deep.
This machinery is now on the way, having
been shipped some time. 1t is consigned to
Messrs. Hendley & Co, and by them will
be shipped to Calcasieu, and lightered up
the river to within nine miles OF the works
when it will be transported on large wagons.
Mr.. Koontz will endeavor to arrange, how
ever, for the lighters to be at Calcasieu, and
have the machinery delivered under the in
spectorship of the Louisiana customs, but
- L Il l
storms, he will direct the reshipment here
He has been met with all the facilities in
the way of attention, information and as
surance, which Messrs. Hendley s. Co.,
could furnish to him as agent Of the COM
pany.

Local Intelligence.

ANOTHER INVESTIGATION IN THE MAY
oR's PARLoR-Aleged Brutality IN the
Workhouse.-There was another informal
inquest in the Mayors parlor yesterday, all
the Administrators present. Apoor woman,
manned and decrepid, had made statements
that she had been brutally treated by Mr..
NJ Bowen, warden of the Workhouse.
Yesterday she was taken to the City Hall,
in order that she might make her state
ments Her story in substance is about as
follows:
In the year 1861 her husband, William
Sullivan, a policeman, was killed on Canal
street by Robert Ducas. A few days after
his death a woman ruined her left eye, and
from that time until to-day her life has
been one of misery and misfortune. About
three months ago she was sent to the Work
house as vagrant. Soon after her entrance
Mr.. Bowen placed her in charge of the ward
robe or wash department, with certain orders
not 10 give out a single piece without instruc-
tions. Two months ago some of the prison
ers stepped into her room, and said that the
captain had told them TO take their cloth
ing, but she refused them until they pressed
her, when she gave out the pieces. Captain
Bowen, on hearing of it, struck her with
stick, and kicked and beat her severely.
After that she was so disabled that Dr.
Avila, on making an examination, con-
Guided that it was best for her to be sent to
the Charity Hospital. She started but
went 70 her former home, No. Is Barracks
street, where Mr.. Bowen learned she was,
when be had her returned to the Workhouse
TO serve out her unexpired term. She is still
suffering from bruises, and is almost unable
to walk.
This is her story as repeated to the admin
istrators, and they were evidently inclined
to believe it, for an order was Immediately
issued suspending Mr.. Bowen from duty.
Mr.. Bowen was not present during the in
vestigation, although he must have been
aware that some kind of an investigation
was in progress, as he saw the woman, Jane
Sullivan, in Administrator Lewiss office,
just previous to the investigation, and the
administrators supposed that he'was still in
the hall, but after waiting nearly half an
hour, and failing to find him, the case was
opened.
Mr.. Patrick Buckley was placed in charge
Of the Workhouse, temporarily.
Mr.. Bowen, last evening, denied the
woman's assertion concerning brutal treat
ment, but admits that he tapped her with
cane when she disobeyed his orders about
the clothing He further asserts that this
proceeding was commenced against him
because of the active part he took in expos
ing the House of Refuge brutalities. Mrs.
Sullivan says several persons witnessed the
beating, which, if true, will give the Grand
Jury one more opportunity to make an ex-
posture.
When the miserable woman was about to
be sent back to the Workhouse she begged
that she might go to the Parish Prison in
stead, choosing one meal day in the latter
place to bountiful supply in the Work
house. She was assured that no one would
maltreat her now.

Fool, ETc.-It is better not to COM
plete this well known saying, for it might
offend even the blunted sensibilities of John
jenkins. John, in moment of forgetfui-
ness, approached the parlor of Lizzie Davis
and Emma Smith, which pays taxes on
Dryades street, having a cherished sum OF
money in his pocket The soiled doves,
possessing good beaks, smelled Che cash and
induced him to enter their mansion and
partake Of such poor hospitality as they
could offer. This extreme politensss on the
part of entire strangers overcame Johns
natural timidity, and he ventured into the
den. 1t did not cost him a dime to enter,
but he paid every cent to get out, and then
ungallantly had them arrested as thieves
On the eighth instant Recorder HoughtOn
will ask the girls to settle up, provided the
prosecutor can be found.

THE CITY PARK.-The Pieayatne of last
evening says:
A committee from The Citizens Associa-
ton waited on Mayor Flanders this morn
ing to inquire what course the city intended
to pursue in reference to the purchase of
the City Park, by the Commissioners for
the sum of 100000. The Mayor informed
the committee that the city could, under
the law, do nothing but pay over the money
collected for park fund to the commits
sioners. 1t is probable the association will
take steps to enjoin the city from paying
6ut any money to the commissioners until
an investigation can be had into the nature
of the purchase, etc.

The Greenville, Mississippi, Republican
SAYS of the cotton crop, and the worm
The last week has been favorable to the
cotton plant so far as the weather is con-
cerned, but we regret to be compelled to ad-
NIT that the army worm is again among us,
and that the first crop OF this insect is larger
than usual. During the week we have had
reports from all parts of the country, and it
is generally conceded that the caterpillar is
in every field. Our only hope-our crop
being late-was in late fall, and not being
damaged by worms. Now that they have
come, it is not improbable that in three
weeks from to-day many of our fields will
appear as though fire had passed through
them.
In 1866, the caterpillar appeared in this
vicinity june IS; in 1867, July 9; in 1863
August 81; in 1869, September Is; in 1870,
October 1; in 1871, August 10.
If we have a succession of very warm
weather-particularly warm nights.it may,
to some extent, check the increase of the in
sect.
