TRENTON IN ASHES!
LOSS OF soc SOL



For nearly four weeks tho weather
has been unusually dry for Spring.
Just after a heavy rain storm last Mon
day night, at about the hour of one in
the morning, spire of flame was seen
ascending through the roof of the drug
store Of Jethro Moore, of Trenton, over
an occupied room, of two stories, in
the rear Of the drug store.
About one month ago a fire broke out
in Trenton and destroyed three build
ings, and with this warning and
the prevailing idea that a fire
once started in the place would result
in its total ruin, Of course the inhabi-
tance were in action Tuesday morning,
so soon as the alarm was given.
Trenton was town of wooden build
ings exclusively, and the immense stores
of dry goods, groceries, produce, etc.,
kept there to supply the large agricul-
tural district, comprising several hun
dred square miles, were kept in these
wooden buildings contiguous to each
other, the two rows of houses being
separated by the main street, known as
Claiborne street. 1t has been we'll con-
sidered by every one observant of the
topography Of the place, and especially
by those living there, that no human
exertions could prevent fire from
sweeping away all its business houses,
once the devouring element had fairly
got start.
So, when on Monday night, or rather
Tuesday morning, it was seen that a
fire was we'll under way in the heart of
the place, no ono imagined that any of
the business houses, several in number
and containing large quantities OF sup
plies of all kinds, could be saved from
tho flames.
The fire spread east aud west along
tho north side of Claiborne street with
ont hindrance, the houses being nearly
all contiguous, and crossed to the south
side of tho street, first catching the two
The Ouachita telegraph. [volume] (Monroe, La.) 1865-1889, 1873-05-10

ashes, burning corn, bacon and bagging,
and smouldering ruins. Not a house
remains from Hirsch's store east, on
Claiborne street, or the river front, Of
all that controlled the business OF the
greater portions Of Jackson, Bienville,
Claiborne and Union, and portions Of
VIM, Webster and Caldwell, and por-
tons of South Arkansas. Tho list of
losses made up hurriedly as furnished
in haste by tho losers, will tell how
severe the blow has been. Trenton did
heavy advancing business, and we
presume, in some way, the several FIRMS
will continue business, in order to save
what they have already risked. In the
effort to maintain themselves, the suf-
ferers have the feeling sympathy OF all
of our people.
How the fire originated is wrupt in
mystery. The first observer reports
the flames coming through the roof of
the room indicated above. This room
was unoccupied, with paints, oils, &C.,
in the room below. The origin is vari-
ously ascrihed to incendiarism and to
lightning, anu it is not improbable that
it was case Of spontaneous combus-
ton.

rAdvertisement.1
To the Readers of the Louisiana Farmer.

| 1t is with unfeigned regret that we
bid you farewell for a time at least.
AS the TELEGRAPH will plainly tell
its many readers, the once prosperous
town of Trenton-the business metrop-
oils Of Jackson, Union, Claiborne,
Bienville ana Lincoln parishes
has been recently devastated by the
entirely consumed by the disastrous
confiagration-books, paper, meterial
and everything lost.
Since the fire, we have held n con-
sultation with the owners Of the Lou
isiana Farmer, and we are pleased
to state that it is their determination
to resume the publication Of that pa
per. So, dear readers, wait as pa
tiently AS you can, for we hope soon to
greet you again with our beloved sheet
under the Same beautiful and honored
banner that we proudly hoistcd when
we first took our seat in its editorial
chair.
We would have liked SO we'll to
! have gotten out another issue Of tho
Farmer in order that we could have
replied in length to Il cutting (9) article
| in the Homer IIiad concerning us.
Wonder if Mr.. Blackburn remembers
that he said, just before he commenced
| the publication Of n paper in Vernon,
La, in the ante 6elluns times, that he
would publish his sheet in the inter-
est of the party that would pay him
| the most money! Just such a dishon-
est principle as this still pervades his
corrupt heart and makes him the
mean, low-down, contemplate puppy
that he is-a fraud and plunderer Of tho
public treasury, in crime equal to the
midnight robber. Why did You come
down so heavily upon tho editor Of the
Vienna Herald, Mr.. Blackburn? Had
he not Joined the "progressive Repub-
lican party Of the day." You very
we'll know that he wanted to have a
finger in the pie, and you were too in
fernal greedy to want him to have any
subsistence from the public pap. Just
wait patiently, Mr.. Blackburn, until
the Farmer makes its appearance
again, and then if you wish to fight us
with your vulgar sheet (you are not
fit to edit any other kind,) we say
pitch in. We then will determine
whether or not we will condescend
to notice such cotemptiblc sheet as
the Homer Iliad.

THE TEMPERENCE LAW IN THE LEG
STATURE.

AS was generally expected an effort nas
been made in the Legislature to repeal the
Temperance Law passed by the last Legis-
nature. Numerous petitions were PIE sented
for and as many against its repeal. And the
reports of committees TO whon the law
has been referred have been divided. The
Senate Judiciary Committee to whom the
resolution inQuiring into the workings of the
law was refcrred d, maze two reports on the
LIST, inst.
The committee after g careful review Of
he details of the bill and its operation, con-
allowed to remain on the statue books any
longer.
The report was signed by Senators QUINN
BY, COTZHAUSEN and O'ROURK.
minority report was also submitted by
portion of the judiciary committee, in which
it is recommended that the liquor law be
allowed to remain On the statue books as
they thought sufficient opportunity had not
been given to thoroughly test its workings,
signed by Senator'S BAKER and POTTER.
This shows the majority of the Judiciary
Committee to be in favor of the repeal of the
law. It is questionable whether the Commit
tee fairly represent the Senate.
In the Assembly in Committee of the
Whole, on last Monday, No. SIS Assembly, 10
repeal the Graham liquor law, was taken up
without debate, and the motion to indef-
nitely postpone the bill was carried by SO
to As.
This.indefnite postponement is not final as
it was not reeonsidered and laid on the
table. We do not believe however that the
btll, or any bill repeating the law, can pass
the Legislature and if it could, we think the
Governor would veto it. Whatever the ma
iority of each o. either House Of the Legisla
ture may do we do not believe the Governo'
is satisfied that the law sho uld be- repealed
and if the bill should be passed we should ex
pect it to be vetoed, or fail to become a Law
without the Governors. signiture. That a
majority of the people are in favor Of the la VI
as it is or with amendments to make it more
efficient we have no doubt, and we trust
that the law will remain unrepealed.

military party of Prussia would never
willingly have allowed Belfort to revert

sure, therefore, that for this reason
alone it would be a calamity to have an
