Fatal Accident at Het Syringe.

The account of the death Of John K. VIII
son, of New Orleans, which We copied from
the St. Louis Republican, is pronounced by
tho friends Of the deceased inaccurate in
some important details. From Mr.. Charles
d. Brandenberg, friend Of the deceased,
we learn that he and the deceased did not
start together for the Hot Springs, but met
there and were very intimate. Wilson's
mother, sister and brothers subsequently
visited the springs to be benefited, and were
taking baths. Mr.. Wilson's father was
there. and all were getting ready to start
home. Johns health was very much i'm
proved and entirely restored from the use
Of ardent spirits. He was very cheerful
and just getting ready to take a carriage
ride for recreation. While waiting for the
carriage john picked up small pistol Of
Brandenbergs that he did not know was
loaded. and while handling it the pistol
accidentally went of with fatal result.
Mr.. Brandenburg has no hesitation in say
ing that the sad result was unintentional
and purely accidental, which statement is
justified by his cheerful and hopeful state
of mind at the time. The deceased was
young man of fine talents and much prom
ise, and was endeared to large circle of
friends and relatives.

a Political Life and Romance.

There has been bit Of romance in the
life Of Hon. William Allen, whom the
Straight-Out Democrats of Ohio have NOM
mated for Governor, and it involves an
other. The Columbus State journal tells
the two stories thus: At the beginning Of
the political campaign in 1880, when Allen
was nominated for Congress by the Demo-
Gratis and Macarthur, the Wing Governor,
was a candidate for reelection, Allen was
the lover of McArthur's daughter, and be-
tween them there was an engagement to be
married. But it is said that after Near
thurs defeat, the Governor broke off the
matrimonial engagement. and the lady
married Kentucky gentleman, who died
before the expiration of Aliens term in
the House. Governor Macarthur died about
the same time. At this point comes in
another little romance. A gentleman who
was an ultra Democrat and great admirer
of the then rising young man, Allen q.
Thurman, had a daughter who, much to her
fathers cbagrin, married Wing. In max
ing his will the old gentleman disposed of
the property to his daughter in such way
that the Wing husband could not acquire
title in it. This lady also became a widow;
she afterward met Allen G. Thurman, and
is now Mrs. Senator Thurman. 1t was at
the wedding of Judge Thurman that Mr..
Allen again met Miss Macarthur, by this
time the widow of the Kentucky gentleman.
The old love was renewed; they we're mar
ried and lived happily together until the
death Of Mrs. Allen, which occurred before
the expiration of Mr.. Aliens Senatorial
term. Mr.. Allen has since been a widower.

Not Quite Treasurer.

The uncontradicted statement of the
Herald Of Thursday evening, that Auditor
Clinton had invested Mr.. Newgass with the
functions of State Treasurer, seemed cor
roborated by numerous reports from holders
Of State paper; and when Mr.. Newgass, it
was known, had cashed the warrants, the
public had right TO presume that in per-
forming portion to the functions of the
State Treasurer, he might as properly per-
form others-that whiles he was caehing
warrants of the Auditor, it was supposed
and the supposition was permitted to
obtain-that the Auditor had supplied Mr..
Newgass with the funds wherewith to per-
form this work. In the evening papers of
of yesterday. however. Mr.. Clinton denies
having turned over any funds to Mr. New
gass, and states that that gentleman took up
the warrants at the purchaser price, giving
his own money in payment"
1t is generally believed, however, not
withstanding the denial of Mr.. Clinton,
that he had stepped thus far outside Of the
law. that Mr.. Newgass was not using his
owed funds thus freely for the disin-
terested good Of the State credit; and that
Mr.. Clinton, feeling he had gone too far,
receded from his former action 80 far as to
secure himself from any penalties the law
can infict, and at the same time materially
elevate Mr.. Newgass's reputiOn for phi
lanthropy.

New YORK, August ia London letter
Of July 81 says Mr.. Motley's friends have
for some time known that his health way
delicate, and will not be surprised to hear
that he is now confued to his bed by q
somewhat serious attack. He has had slight

less by his side, and his side itself was also
some what affected.
He was carried to his hotel in Dover

The Virginia Democratic Nominees.
RICHMOND, August 15.-General Kemper,
che nominee of the Conservative party, in
reply to the letter of the Hon. Thomas 5.
BOcock, president of the late convention,
informing him of his nomination, accepts
the position and fully indorses the platform
adopted. He says: Under Conservative
auspices, Virginia is to-day happily free
from the worst calamities which have be-
fallen other States similarly situated, but
differently governed. With hopeful and
courageous hearts, We will go for
ward with the work of restoring our
beloved commonwealth by means of a
scrupulous regard for the requirements "
organic law. BY maintaining the ascen-
dency of virtue and Intelligence in the
public service. BY dispensing equal pro
lection and benefits to all our people. By
ignoring resentment and passion, cultivat-
ing just spirit of content, yielding a
manly support to whatever measures shall
best secure justice and relief to Virginia
and advance the welfare and glory OF the
whole republic"
The reply Of Colonel Withers accepting
the nomination is brief and pointed. while
that of Mr.. Daniel Is very elaborate, re-
viewing the questions involved in the can
vass at great length.

concerning the negotiations between the.

The difficulty between the two negotia-

have been overcome. This difficulty con-

that as mis- restoration to the throne would

rights. the flag. floating "The Lilies of
France must be reinstated in it's position
as the national standard, and included as
part of his rights.
The Assembly, on the other side, argue
that flag is immaterial as an emblem of
legitimatI right; that the flags of France
and other countries have frequently been
changed; that the flag of French history,
as made and known by the. last three gem
erations of Frenchmen, is the tricolor: that
it % dear to the poprlar heart, and that the
people could not be made to understand
why the monarchy could not accept he
popular national colors and that they

been Known since the time of their great
grandfathers.

means the two parties have become recon

Naval CRdetship.

Having at his disposal an appointment to
the Naval School at Annapolis, Congress
man Darrall opened the same to competi-
ton among the young men Of his district.
On Tuesday last quite number of lads en-
tered the lists. at New Iberia. and the prize
was borne of by Master Romata T. Hart,
of the parish of Ascension. The board of
examination consisted Of Hon. L. A. Snaer.
J. A. Breaux, P. o. Lydon and L. II. Mon
tany-all attorneys at law. The examina-
ton is said to have been q most exhaustive
and thorough one.
We congratulate Master Hart on his sue.
cess, and the people Of the third congress
sional district upon having representative
who thus bestows his gifts among his con-
stituents. In the olden time Louisiana had
many bright names upon the army and
navy rolls. Now she has fewer representa-
tives there than any other State east Of the
Rocky Mountains. It is time she began
once more to assert herself. Thus We shall
watch, with great deal of interest. the
advancement Of the two young men who
have recently won, by their own talents,
the appointments to Annapolis and West
Point which DR.. Darrall has conferred upon
them

The Late Fatal Accident on Canal street.
Considerable variance existing between
the published statement of Mr.. Thomas l..
Couret on the cause of the death of Mr..
NJ. o. Larsen and the verdict of the cor
oner's jury, the following facts are sub
lnitted, that the public may readily arrive
at conclusion"
Mr.. COuret's statement was taken soon
after and while suffering from the effects OF
his fail. No doubt he was somewhat be-
wildered, for his testimony. given before
the coroner's jury, was very different.
The inquest was held at Mr.. Larsen's
home, No. 1874 Canal street, at 2:3O "A. NJ.
Mr.. Couret there stated, on oath, that at
the time Of the accident he did not know
what caused it. He and Mr.. Larsen had
started for the lake, taking one drink first.
Arriving there they took several more. On
the way back they took one at the Half
Way House. He was not drunk.
The jury viewed the body of Mr.. Larsen,
and found unmistakable evidence that the
deceased had been drinking, and his clothes
showed very plainly he had been sick
There was no mark or bruise on the body.
DR.. Beach had been called to attend the
deceased, and stated that death was not
caused by the accident, but by apoplexy.
The jury was questioned individually as
to their opinion, and were unanimous in
rendering the following verdict:
After careful examinatio o.. the body,
and from testimony elected, We find that
the deceased came to his death from apo
plexy Said diseased was under the intiu-
ence of liquor at the time, and had fallen
out Of buggy while returning from the
lake, at about $3.50 P. NJ, and died at 1910

What the W0rl6 Saw.

If there is anything that surpasses the
ignorance of some of the Northern papers
of Louisiana affairs, it is the earnestness
with which they thrust their ignorance of
facts and unripe conclusions upon their
readers. For instance, the New York
World Of the twelfth Instant publishes the
following:
Before tho adjournment Of Kellogg's
"bayonet Legislature" last March, bill
was passed abolishing the Offices of Admin
istr4tOrs of Commerce, WaterwOrks, and
Police Of this city. During Warmoth's
government the City Council had been
narrowed down to seven administrators,
and the abolition Of three of these as set
forth in the bill of last March, would leave
only four administrators remaining. The
people, however, felt Indifferent as to the
number Of administrators that might be
left them, and Kellogg manifested no hurry
about signing the bill. Now the the report
il current that Kellogg will leave here after
q short time, and make room for Lieutenant
Governor Antoine to sign it; and the peO-
pie are little alarmed, as closer scrutiny
into the probable effects of this bill reveals
the thinly disguised efforts Of Kellogg to
take complete control of the city. OF the
four administrators that will remain if this
OH goes 10tO operation, tuEoo VI tuciu Will
be Kellogg Republicans-or Grant Repub-
licans. whichever is the more pr6per-so
that the willy de facto will probably sign
the bill. He has only now to execute
Judge Hawkins, threat, and abolish the
system OF electing municipal offices alto
gether, filling the same by appointment. go
that the people may not tronble themselves
about eiecting mayors or administrators
any more.
We think il must trouble Mayor Wiltz
exceedingly to pick outthess three Repub-
licans who would be retained under the
new law.

The gradients are moderate; The average
of work per mile is considerably less, and
the number of important bridge is reduced

seven and eleven times, is crossed once on
the line as so located. The route runs i'm

With few exceptions. the country is
rolling prairie, sometimes rising into low
hills; the grass being excelleEt and tne soil
