Death of Judge Lewis.

The Bossier Banner of the thirteenth
brings us intelligence of the death of Hon.
John l.. Lewis:
The Hon. John Langdon Lewis, our dis
trict judge, died on the night of the eighth
instant at his residence in Minden.
The Judge had resided in this section for
upwards of twenty years, and until within
the last two or three might have been con-
sidered the most popular man among us.
When Congress began its reconstruction
policy he allied himself with the Republi-
can party, and consequently for long
while much bitterness of feeling existed
toward him ON the part of our white popu-
latiOn. But we are glad to be able to say
that this bitterness had latterly greatly
moderated. He had proven himself con
servative Republican, one who accepted
the situation in good faith, but one who was
sternly opposed to that social equality of
the races that the radicals are attempting
to enfOrce-that odious principle that would
deprive us of our individual liberties, and
make us all equal in degradation.
just at this .juncture Judge Lewis death
is great loss to this community. Who
now can have so great an influence as he
would have had to break down the asperi-
ties that exist politically among our people

The Blue Mountain Route.


We understand that the lines forming this
route are in excellent running order, and
entirely unaffected by the recent floods in
different parts of the country. These lines
run through a beautiful and productive
country, and promise to assist very ma
terially in developing the resources of the
State, and adding to the prosperity of Mo
bile. The road is only lately completed,
and in its condition will compare favorably
with any other line in the South. This is
the shortest and most direct route between
Mobile and the North; and we believe that
it is proposed soon to still further shorten
the time along the route. The lines are in
the hands of energetic, enterprising men,
who mean if possible to absorb the whole of
the trade between New Orleans and Mobile
and New York.
Passengers pass through the most beauti-
full and picturesque part of the State of
Alabama, and enjoy all the comforts 1t is
possible for travellers to enjoy ON any road
in the South or North.

1t will be seen, by reference to our adver-
tising columns, that Governor Dunn has OF
fered a reward of five hundred dollars for
the arrest and conviction of the unknown
person or persons who, on last Wednesday,
murdered Frank Menteith at the place
known as the Pioneer Store" situated
about two miles below College Point, in st.
James parish. There is good reason for be-
lieying that the same men who committed
the murder afterward set fire to the store
of Menteith and burned it with its contents.
The reaction of public opinion on the sub
ject of vindicating the law is so great that
it will not be good for the health of the muir
derers if they are caught.

FATAL Shooting Afray.

Last Friday night fatal shooting affray
occurred at Bayou Dularge, near Houma
Terrebonne parish. Some difficulty arose
between William Wright, the keeper of a
hotel or clearinghouse, and William T
Bartlett, brother of Colonel Frank A. Bart
lett, of this city. The latter drew pistol
as if to shoot at Wright, when Wright seized
a shotgun and fired. The second shot took
effect, and Mr.. Bartlett died at five O'Clock
Saturday morning. Mr.. Bartlett was a
native of Columbus, Georgia, where he was
born in 1885, We learn this by private
letter from Captain X. w. Francis, of the
Terrebonne Patriot

Earl Granville defended against the criti-

a reasonable settlement OF the questions in

in the new policy under which Turkey still
retained a Stronger naval power in the

Camp and Common streets. Freight was
shipped Saturday, on the New Orleans and
Mobile railroad, for San Francisco.
While the through travel by this all rail
route is increasing, the local travel is be-
coming immense. Six passenger coaches,
and all the seats occupied, went out Sunday
morning and returned full Sunday evening.
1t is the best, cheapest, quickest and most
comfortable route to the watering places.
The through route must be delightful.
The Pullman palace sleeping cars, of which
two went out last evening, go through from
Mobile to Louisville without change, and
there is, therefore, but one change of sleep
ing cars between New Orleans and New
York.
The half-past five p. NJ. train, connecting
with the night train from Mobile, is not so
well provided with sleeping cars at present,
as at the late destruction of the Pullman
Car Works at Detroit four Pullman palace
sleeping cars, intended to go through from
New Orleans, were burned.
Mr.. Be Dell, the ticket agent, on the lower
floor of the Story Building corner of Camp
and Common streets, will give any informa-
tion desired by passengers.
