THE FIRST MUNICIPAL COURT Room
Never until this date has either OF the re-
corder's court rooms been fitted up IN any.
thing like proper form, unless the third
District be excepted in part. They have
always been neglected, looking old, dark
and dusty, with the hardest kind of furni-
ture. 1t remained for Judge Macarthur to
work change for the better. At his sug-
gestion the First District municipal court
room has been transformed so that to-day
people need not shudder on entering.
The furniture and fixtures, though
plain, are comfortable, and wear a
bright look Even prisoners are now so
disposed of that it is not likely that coro-
ner will be called in to find verdict that
death was caused by suffocation. Ladies
who may be so unfortunate as to be sum
moned az witnesses can now enter the room
without fear of sOiling their dresses, con-
tracing disease or being frig htened at the
approach of repulsive vermin. The entire
place has cheerful air and is sufficiently
dignifed for city court.

Found DRowNED.-Yesterda afternoon
about halfpast two o'clock, the body OF an
unknown man was found in the New canal.
On the body was discovered fine gold
watch and chain, no money, penknife, a
pair OF sleeveless, card and letter. The
letter was directed to Mr.. William Smith,
care of F. Otto, New Orleans. 1t was
signed George Johnston. Its tenor IS to
the effect that Smith should Immediately
return to Chicago, where the writer lived,
as did also Smiths relatives.
Deceased was a man some thlrty-tWO
years old. 1t appears that he has been
cook on the dredge boats. On Friday, at 8
P. NJ, Smith left the house at which he was
stopping, announcing that he was going to
seek work. He returned and stated that
he would have work on Monday or Tuesday
Yesterday he was found drowned. He had
no money and no valuables on him except
the watch and chain. Whether he was
overcome by drink and accidentally fell in
the canal, or whether he voluntarily sought
the realms of Oblivion must forever remain
secret. Deceased is said to be the son of
Captain H. p Smith, wealthy old sea
captain of New York.
The watch and chain and other effects
await a claimant at the central police sta
ton.
Mr.. Rawlings. the sexton of the city
cemetery. took charge of the body, and the
burial will take place to-day

THE MARKET WAR Is Nor ENDED.-Ad-
ministrator Turnbull yesterday assumed
the role of magistrator, by virtue OF act
No. 81, relative to city markets. More ar
rests were made yesterday, but the private
market men took things as cool as they
could, considering the weather. They are
firm in the belief that their cause will
eventually be crowned with victory, and
they know that the citizens generally
are weary of this turmoil. However,
this is good time to read the
fable about the monkey that used cat 8
nav TO pull out red hot chestnuts Lawyers
are not cats in this trouble, and if at some
future time attorneys on both sides should
write true history of this meat and vege-
table war the reader would be astonisbed
at the vast amount of money which has
been expended not only in litigation put IN
ways that are dark. Perhaps few OF the
inner secrets will leak out before peace is
proclaimed.

ODDS AND ENDS THAT NOBODY CARES TO
READ-In the above category are to be
found quite often items of intelligence of
vastly more Importance to the individuals
mentioned and concerned them to the
public at large For instance, John Smith
gets drunk and is arrested. As soon as he
gets loose, straightway comes Smith round
to printing house square. He doesn't want
his name published; il would ruin him, etc.
Now if Smith only knew how little people
cared about him, he wouldn't worry bit.
So to business.
The excessive heat overcame Harriet
Porter yesterday morning and she died OF
congestion of the brain. Her death was
sudden and occurred on Gasquet, near
Liberty street.
Joseph Rocasta, a small boy aged five
years, died suddenly yesterday morning, at
his parents house, from the effects OF the
excessively warm weather.
Bailey Williams, colored, employed on
the French steamship Sully, yesterday at
ternoon at two O'Clock fell through hatch

An unknown man was brought to the

evening in cOmatose condition. He was
carefully attended, and upon his recovery
it was ascertained that whisky was the
main cause of his distress. case of sun
stroke was thereby spoiled, and a dweller
in the lookup obtained.

SEVENTY. THREE YEARS OLD AND I'M
PRIsONED-A Woman at ThGt-A poor old
woman seventy-three years old was lately
arrested for selling Havana lottery tickets,
and for that Offense was confined five days
in the Parish Prison. 1t is absolutely in
credible that the officers of the benevolent
lottery association could have known OF this
severe result Of the powers granted them.
The old woman is doubtless known to
many of our citizens; she is simple.
harmless, hard working old creature. and it
is q matter of wonder that any one could
have had the heart to arrest and lock her
UP. The distich, ''True hearts are more
than coronets, and simple faith than Nor
man blood" on this occasion was alluded to;
"greenbacks are more than sentiment, and
dollars more than kindly deeds" The old
woman is out now. The outraged law has
had it's revenge.

THE REGATTA SALooN-Just as little
breeze sprang up last night and relieved
the heated attaches of the REPUBLICAN. a
messenger appeared from the new candidate
for patronage, the Regatta saloon, late Tat
tersall's His manners were warm, even
cordial, but he bore vessels of glass con-
tanning wine of foreign birth, of wonder
fully cooling nature. Enjoying the newly
awakened breeze and slipping the chilled
n9ctar, it was natural that wishes for the
prosperity of Mr. John r. Sutton. proprie-
tor of the new Regatta saloon No. 80 St.
Charles street, should be the staple Of the
conversation. The compliment OF his dona-
ton is appreciated, the articles consumed,
and the patronage of the public recon-
mended.

DIsMANTLING OF ST. ELIZABETH ASY-
LUM-The work of tearing down this
staunch structure goes on apace. Three
weeks more will probably see 1t leveled
with the ground. Meanwhile the erection
of the store buildings from the old material
ing down the old building is in the hands of
Mr.. Thomas Kennedy. The contract for
brick work in the construction OF the new
stores, is being most efficiently carried out
by Mr. Thomas Cary. This gentleman has
lust completed similar contract in erect
ing the walls of the buildings adjoining the
Varieties Theatre.
Concerning the work now in hand, on
Magazine, between Josephine and st. An
drew streets, there will be eleven stores
fronting on Magazine street and two stores
fronting on Josephine street. The walls OF
four O. the stores fronting on Magazine
street have already been erected as high as
the second story The dimensions of the
stores will be 80 feet 3 inches front. The
lots extend lie feet. In rear of the stores
and on plane with tue flooring, will be the
diningrooms, IL by l6 feet, and kitchens, II
by Ia feet. Similar rooms will be in the
second story of the kitchen building.
The plan of the store fronts shows that
there will be two show windows and CEN
tire door to each store. The second story Of
each store will be reached by cOmmodious
hallway The whole design reflects great
credit upon the architect.
Each store building will have attached
cistern of $500 gallons capacity. The entire
work is beng done under the entire control
of the good Sisters. 1t is understood that
rear alleyway viii be reserved for the
stores fronting on Magazine street, which
will add vastly to the comfort and conve-
nience of the occupants.

talDS tAe following.
The people have determined that the
Kellogg government has to be gotten rid
of, and thew will not scruple about the means
as they have done in the past.
How far results have been developed by
their teachings correspondent sets forth
in very facetious way in the Bulletin OF
August l3:
Ozarks are wanted, Mr.. Kellogg, for the
deluge is rising. In some parishes it is
quite high, it having already swept away
your officials.
Natehitoches parish is cleansed, and her
recuperation is begun.
Webster parish ditto.
Claiborne parish ditto
st. Martin parish ditto.
In CaddO the Kellogg officials have done
no distinctive acts of government for sew
eraI months, except as the tools of the Tax
PAYERS Association. which is the govern
ment there, operating through commit
tees.
am informed that the same revolution
has taken place in Bossier.
When the outposts are reduced the cita-
del NAV be attacked. The Organ stable,
wherein YOU herded your cattle last week,
NAV be cleansed by the whelming flood.
siTo the arks"-Ozarks or any others that
NAV save yours and your mOngrei crew,

This is from the Mansfield Reporter OF

next to . view Of the ocean, one Of the
most sublime ideas Of vsstness possible,
softened by the beautiful color and grace
fulness in outline. We onoe read that men
living near the ocean have broader minds
than men living in the interior, on account
Of being brought constantly to view the
vast and sublime in Nature. If this be
true Of life by the ocean, what must be the
effect of life on our western prsiries where
the sublime, the graceful and the beautiful
are all combined.
We were glad to witness everywhere in
this section Of the county, the evidences
of thrift. Poor, unpainted houses, which
generally, as matter Of necessity, deface
IS new q country as this, have become the
exception, and fine two story frame houses,
we'll painted, generally white. and furnish
ed with green shutters, have become the
rule
Among the structures we noticed very
fine residence just built by Mr.. Wells, one
Of the Oldest settlers of Warsaw, and q
fret-class barn in course Of erection by
Hon. John Miller in the town of Leon.
The barn is 46x7z feet, is up and inclos-
ed. and in one part Of it Mr.. Miller already
had NOW Of hay Is feet wide, 80 feet
long and 80 feet deep. On one side of the
barn is shed for wagons and farm mo-
oh of fhor ri al 10
fitted up with ten stalls for horses,
while in the rear Of the barn is COW sta
BILE. Mr.. Miller also has very fine resi-
dence built two years ago, nicely painted,
furnished and fitted with window blinds.
At Boyntons mill on Belle Creek we
found MIR. Boynton busily engaged in franz
ing new mill building which he expects to
put up this fall. The old mill is to stand
several rods below the present mill and the
old mill is to be moved back and used as a
warehouse. By this change Mr.. Boynton
secures sixteen feet foil and will put in
three run Of stone instead Of two. This
mill does custom work only and gives every
man all the -four from his own wheat, and
their customers come as far as twenty miles:
At Cannon Falls we witnessed the evidence
Of that thrift which has made the village
noted for the past year or more. Stores
are being enlarged, bridges built. new
buildings being erected and a general
growth manifested. But we cannot do the
town justice in one short paragraph and
so we shall not make the attempt.
