TIE assailant was Ephraim or lfron Mas,
who was recently employed i'll !: cotton
press, as also was Mason. 1t appears that a
quarrel existed between them concerning a
woman. Mas called on Mason Sunday
morning, but the controversy between them
was not very violent. Although several
persons were present, they paid little atten-
Non to the contestants until they began to
scufi,e, soon after which Mas quickly
walked Off and stepped into a car, escaping.
As he was departing, Mason exclaimed
:hat he was wounded. An exslnn-
alton showed that he was stabbed liz his
stomach. DR.. Cooper was called, aud in
attempting to give him aid was repulsed by
Mason. Between ten and eleven o'clock
Sunday night he died. DR.. Jackson held an
inquest, when it was discovered that the
wound was necessarily IL fatal one. De

Mr.. l.. GAGNEr's NEW DREDGE-BoAT.-
Anything pertaining to the subject OF dredg-
ing or draining is Of great interest to this
community, which fact prompted us to ac-
cept a polite invitation from Mr.. Gagnet TO
visit his new boat, at present in the Old
Basin. For years he has been striving to
perfect machinery by which the greatest
amount of service could be rendered i'll the
quickest possible space of time, and with
little expense OF power and money. About
three months ago, being compelled to aban
don the dredge, then worn out, he engaged
Mr.. Valentine Rothaug to build new YES
sci. He availed himself of all the known
improvements, and added others which
years OF experience suggested
BY the combinations OF Mr. Gagnet, as
sisted by Mr.. +. Daniels. a new dredge has
been brought into existence which is, proba-
bly,, superior to any machine of the kind
ever constructed in this part of the world.
Portions of the machinery that heretofore
were liable to become worthless are now de
pended ON and made to perform excellent
service. The several parts and additions
may not be fully explained, as the techni-
calities prevent a thorough understanding.
Suffice it to say that the dredge as she now
lies is a decided improvement, and all who
are interested in such important deVr es
should visit it.
She is sixty feet long, twenty-five feet
beam, draws only three feet of water, and
is made of the best oak and pine. Her
engine, thirty-tiye horse power, was manu-
featured by Messrs ID. a. j. ID. Edwards.
who also provided all the iron work about
The boat. She is calculated to, AT least. ex
cavate l20 CUBIC yards of earth per hour,
making a dip about once a minute, bringing
up two cubic yards of mud each time; this
in water eight or ten feet deep. In shallow
wafer she can perform better. After few
test experiments in the presence OF some
prominent citizens Mr.. Gasnet invited the
guests to liquid collation., and the gen
.!emen proved their powers in dredging
punch bowl and draining champagne bottles.
