Dealh of a Noted Turfman.

homas P. Roche, horseman, well
kno wn throughout the country as trainer
and driver, died Of consumption about
eight o'clock last night. at No. 1907 Pine
street. Mr.. Roche arrived from New Or
leans on the steamer Bismarck late Satur-
day night, and a friend who accompanied
him It his request engaged the rooms where
he died He had been eick for year or
more and was greatly emaciated, weighing
at the time Of his death only eightv.five
pounds. Last winter, by the advice of his
physician, he visited Pensacola and re-
NAMED there some months, without, how
ever, being benefited by the climate. His
friends tried to dissuade him from coming
to this city, thinking that the fatigue of the
journey would shorten his life, bat he in
sisted on making the trip and brought all
his horses with him. He was about forty
two years Of age, unmarried, and has but
few relatives in the country. He was
known by almost all the horsemen in North
America, and universally liked. The fune-
raj will take place at four o'clock this after
noon, and as he was an Odd Fellow, it is
probable that he will be buried with the
honors Of that society.-a Louis Democrat

Decoration Bay at Baton Rouge.

We are requested by Colonel Belger,
Quartz rmaster, United States army, Nine
teenth Infantry, to announce that on the
hirtiet of this month the graves Of the
Union cad will be decorated, and would
request those who wish to contribute
flowers to send their offerings either to his
office at the barracks or to the sexton at
the cemetery. He also extends an invita-
ton to the citizens of Baton Rouge and
their families to be present. We sincerely
hope the past will be forgotten in this
matter, and that one and all Of our citizens
will cheerfully respond to the request of
the gallant Colonel. We hope goodly
mum Der of gentlemen and their families
will be present to witness this sacred cere-
mony. 1t has been but a few short weeks
since we were gathered about the graves of
comrades, friends and relatives to pay
tribute to their memories. Among that
little assembly we saw ex-Union soldiers;
therefore, let us, the ex-Confedefate, at
tend to witness the sad tribute to be be-
slowed by the comrades and friends Of
the federal dead. We hope the ladies will
send Colonel Belger an abundant supply of
flowers Baton ROuge AdcO3dte.

The SanbOrn Investigation.

1t seems next to impossible to get the
Sanborn investigation closed. 1t was open
ed again yesterday to enable MIR. Sawyer,
assistant secretary Of the treasury, to make
statement" which consisted mainly OF a
violent protest against the proposed vote Of
censure, and. in part. of some choice cpl
thets applied to the press. There seems to
be prevailing impression, in official life,
that when man in suspicious circum-
stances has called the press "a pack" and
described its criticism as "yelping and
barking he has cleared his skirts. and
may retire with proud consciousness that
his good name has been INDICATED. The
misfortune for suspected officials is, that
the community does not generally accept
this view Of the case. If Mr.. Sawyer had
taken the trouble to tell us how Sanborn
succeeded in getting his swindling contract.
and in getting illegal gains from it, he
would nave done much more for his reputa-
ton than he has done by calling names, or
demanding "specifc facts" The one spe-
cific fact, which no one denies, is that the
treasury has been robbed. If this was not
due to carelessness, the department may
accept the alternative.-New York Times,
May &c.

Lieutenant j. X. p. Ragsdale, United
Stateo Navy.

The Belair Agis tells the following TO-
mantle story of the life and admission
into the navy of Lieutenant Ragsdale.
who died recently at Belair, Hartford
county, Maryland, in the thirtieth year Of
his age:
He was born in Mississippi, and when
youth entered printing office conducted
by his brother at Waco, Texas. After
learning to set type, in the year 1901 ne
conceived the idea of entering the United
States navy. Being without lnnuentlai
friends he determined to make application
in person to Hon. John d; kegan, then a
member of Congress from Texas, but after
ward Postmaster General OF the Southern
Confederacy. Not having the means to
paw the expenses Of a journey to Wash
in eton. he set out on foot, working his
way from one printing office to another,
until, after tOilsome trip Of two months,
he reached his destination. The boys
story enlisted the sympathy Of Mr.. Reagan,
through whose influence he obtained the
appointment he sought
Remaining at the Naval Academy during
the war, at its close he graduated with
honor. While at the academy he formed
the acquaintance and friendship of the late
Lieutenant Frederick Mccormick, son OF
James M. Mccormick, ESQ.,, of this county,
who was also a cadet at the academy.
Visiting the hospitable home of young
Mccormick, he fell in love with sister OF
the latter, beautiful and accomplished
young lady, whom he married in 1869. In
a short time Mrs. Ragsdale died, and the
Lieutenant never married again.
Last fall Lieutenant Ragsdale, who was
then on duty in the Pacific squadron, OBJ
tanned furlough on account of ill health,
and came to Belair. He remained here
until the Cuban troubles broke out, when
he applied for orders, and was assigned for
duty on the United States steamer Colo
RADIO. His health being still bad, he was
again granted furlough, when he returned
once more to his adopted home here, where
he remained until his death.

The Cuban Press on the Rodriguez A flair.
A late Havana letter to the New York
Times says:
The Diari0 de la Marina comments upon
the action OF the grand jury at New Or
leans, in finding cause for complaint and
true bills against the Spanish consul in that
city. as well as the chief Of police and his
agents, concerned IN the arrest of the Span
ish paymaster, Captain Rodriguez, who es-
capped from this island with $4,000 belong.
ing to his regiment. 1t argues that, what
ever other motive there may have been in
the action of the grand jury, the principal
one was to get rid of an active and jealous
Spanish official, who for a number of years
has been the terror of all the filibusters
residing in New Orleans, and has conse-
quently deserved we'll OF his country. The
Diario promises to follow up the matter
with vigOr. l am reminded here of story
told of a Spanish paymaster who, about two
years ago, escaped to the United States
with large sum of the regimental funds.
Upon arriving safely in the States he wrote
letters to bis former comrades whom he had
robbed, giving them his present address,
inviting them to call and see him when any
of them happened his way. and gratefully
thanked them for having contributed to his
present felicity

HumDhries and Barnard.

A controversy has arisen between Gen.
eral HUMPHREYS, chief of engineers, and
General Barnard, of the engineer corps, in
regard to the course Of the latter relative
to the report of the board Of which he was
president, on the Fort st. Philip canal.
General Barnard alone recommended jetties,
and after the board adjourned wrote some
unwarranted criticisms on the report of the
majority. General HUMPHREYS thinking this
uncalled for, retained General Barnard g
letter until it was called for by the House
committee, and now he has sent it with a
very plain statement Of his disapproval of
Barn ards course.
