Death of a LAWYER.

Judge Henry Dugue, who was buried
yesterday evening from his late residence
No. sos ST. Charles street, was one of the
most estimable members of the Louisiana
bar. He was lately judge of the parish of
Jefferson. Throughout a long professional
cafeer. although cut off almost in the prime
of life, he retained the esteem and respect
Of his clients and associates. He was not a
politician and sought no notoriety but the
reputation of doing'-nis duty to those who
trusted him.
Like many, like nearly all hard-workins
lawyers, he goes to his rest leaving hardly
a ripple on the surface Of events to mark
his loss. The gratitude of his clients, the
regrets of his friends, the means of his reia-
tives will soon be forgotten. The devotees
of his profession can never hope for better
epitaph than he received yesterday. "He
was a good lawyer. He was devoted to his
clients He stood well in his profession.
For no one but the judge and his client
knows what the honest lawyer does. He
plays his part, makes lis exit and is fo--
gotten.

The Louisville papers of the nineteenth

a murder, the principal actor-James Gan

He was member of the Metropolitan Po-
lice force for two or more years, in the first
precinct, where he gained an excellent rep.
utation as an officer and man. He left
here only few months ago, resigning his
position on the force intending to visit
Louisville, where his wife lived. Finding
her there he, for the second or third tim e.
concluded to renew his marital relations
with her, and they resumed housekeep ing,

altogether have died with it since it first
broke out. including some of the most
prominent citizens. In Prairieville and
Troy the scourge ragged fearfully, the towns
being almost depopulated either by the dis
ease or by the people fleeing from their
homes. Out of one family Of nine persons
in the former place, all of whom were well

dead. The disease also prevails in the
other neighboring towns. Business is al

able are fleeing from the infected places.

Proposed Railway to the Lake.

| The City Council has had for some time
| under deliberation, in committee of the
whole. an ordinance granting to the Canal
Street, City Park and Lake Railroad Com.
pany the right of way FOR a double track
street railroad from the neutral ground on
Basin street, at its junction with Canal
street, down Basin to Cont street, out
Cont to Bernadotte street, along Berna-
dOtte to Orleans street, and thence on the
embankment on the upper side of Orleans
street to the lake.
The committee of the whole reported
back to the Council yesterday. and the or.
dinance was ordered to be printed and laid
over forfeiture action.
We have given the ordinance cursory
examination, and find IN it many commend
able features. The company is to lay rails
Of the 7 pattern. to weigh not less than
twenty pounds to the yard. The levels and
grades are to be located by the City Sur
veyOr, and the road is to be built under the
supervision of the Administrator Of I'm
provements. The company has permission
to use any kind of propelling power that
may be selected, but greater speed than
six miles an hour is not to be allowed be-
tween Basin and Broad streets. The COM
pany has permission to extend its
track to New Lake End, Bayou
St. John and Milneburg, along the
lake shore, and may use the lake shore
embankment if desirable. The fare is not
to 20 Do
ten cents to any part Of the lake shore.
The company shall keep its tracks and the
road Hereunder, in good order at its own
expense. The work is to commence with
in thirty days from the passage of the Or
dinance, and be completed to the lake
shore and in running order in twelve
months and to New Lake End and Milne
burg in two years thereafter, under pain
of forfeiture. At least one car in every
half hour shall be run from each end of
the road up to P. M, and one ca. every
hour up to twelve o'clock at night. The
charter is for the term of twenty-five years.
These are the principle features Of the
ordinance before us, and with some few
amendments, they appear 80 be such as
will commend Themselves to the public.
One of these, we would suggest, is that the
city reserve the right to amend the charter
at any future time, so as to compel the
company to put on more cars in case it may
become necessary, and to compel their rua-
ming after midnight Again, it would be
better for all concerned if the line was made
to start from Tivol circle, and then out
Delord street to Rampant, and down Ram
part and out to the corner of Canal and
Basin. This would be a great accommoda-
ton to the residents above Canal street
and it appears that amicable arrangements
could be made to use the tracks of other
companies the greater portion OF the way
down to the proposed starting point on
Basin street.
An inquiry as to the corporators devel-
opes the statement that Messrs. William
Henry, Thomas Hassam, Ben S. Harrison,
Louis Gagnet and J. S. Smith are among
the most prominent of them. These are
men of energy, public spirit and discern
ment, and belong to that class into whose
hands the people may trust public interests
with safety.

the Bank Better than was Supposed.


New YORK. July 22-The real estate
agents Of Mr.. Mills do not credit the suicide
theory. Mills arranged with them, the
evening before hi, death, for the compile
ton OF some buildings. He was as cheerful
as usual. Mills income from his real estate
which these agents managed, was 5000
per annum.
REGARDING the Georgia bonds held by the
institution, Secretary Rodman said to-day
that various eminent New York firms held
the Georgia bonds. and that the Broadway
Bani. holds $500 900 of them. He believes
that the company will pay every dollar it
owed to depositors. without calling on the
stockholders.
The assets were reasonably good, though
some Of tlles ecurities were slow. The as
sets of the company were s., s99, ,059; amount

have been assured they will not lose any
thing. and the majority have resigned them.
selves to the situation. 1. is understood
the directors have estimated the loss at
S225 ,00o. The capital and surplus were
$655 900.
The loss wi,,. therefore. be one-third Of
the capital and surplus, an advance, there
fore, OF thirty-three per cent on each share
of the stock held By the stockholders, which
will enable them to square up. 1t is said
that the depositors will be paid in the
course of ten or fifteen days.
l. is expected some of the loans will
be realized on by that time. as Mr.. Mills
VIII. show an estate valued at 100000,
clear of all iucum brances. and some of the
depositers seem to think there will be no
great difficulty in obtaining the $4,000
due on his account. The request made hy
Receiver Chauncey that the depositors de-
liver up their books. was responded to to-
day to a very limited extent.

Shooting Limits.

4 city ordinance prescribes the limits
where hunters and others may discharge
firearms within our boundaries. The lake
shore is open to all. but, perhaps, the City
Council would perform IA good deed were it
to make two or three exceptions, namely, in
the immediate neishborhood Of Mi'neburg,
mouth Of Bayou st. john and at the lake
end of the new shellroaG. At these points
many people assemble. and, in case of pro-
miscuous shooting. some enc is liable to re-
celve stray lead. When the limit ordinance
was adopted these important points were
probably forgotten. However. it is not too
late to remedy the omission. and it is ex-
pected that the Council WI. take action a.
its Npvt session.

Railroad Matters.

A correspondent of the New York World.
writing from Holly Springs. Mississippi,
July Is, says:
The utter cOllape of the Memphis and
Selma road-which was to pass through
this place-has wrought great injury to this
t1ourishing, progressive town of 5000 inhab-
itants. 1t is stated that the company, hay
iug assets worth 81, ,500,0 900, will be sold in
bankruptcy and bought by General Forrest
and j acob Thompson. Thompson conveyed
to the road vast tracts of wild lands il Or

State remitting all taxes on railroad prop

the village. General Forests contract
with Memphis was that he would expend
the 100000 paid him by 1t within the
county (Shelby) of Memphis. The county
courts engineer, after measuring the work,
reports more than $4,000 unaccounted for
by Forrest. Forrest and the court are in
hot water, and a terrible conflict between
Forrest and his attorney, Ex-Governor l. q.
Harris. on the one hand, and the county
court nu the other, is in progress at Mem

leve himself of imputations involved in
