To NEW YORK AND BACK FOR len DOL
LARs--There is movement on loot IN our
CITY to make up party OF SIX hunored 10
make a railroad voyage to New YORK ana
back, and if the required number signs, the
fare will be only teu dollars Tor the round
trip. OF course each excurslonisb must
pay all his own expenses, such as eating
drinking and the luxury of sleeping cars.
The party Will have ten days more TO
spare after reaching New York. but all
VINO desire TO return OF their cheap tickets
must settle on a certain day to start back.
1t is probable that a meeting will be called
for those who desire to participate, in order
TO agree on programme. As vet the pro-
ject is il it's infancy, but single call will
most likely set everything right.
Nor QUITE A RoBBERY.-Recently cot
ton factor of this city. who occasionally
trips down to the lake for recreation and TO
obtain a clear glass of soda water, lost his
pocketbook which contained $500. He did
not discover his loss until he returned home
and then believed that plckpocket had
gone through his clothing. He filed In
formation at police headquarters and a de-
-ective was sent out to hunt the money and
the thief. The officer first visited livery
been left and questioned a groom. An
swers were not as straight as they should
have been and the man was sent to prsoE,
while III that disagreable atmosphere he
concluded to tell all he knew about the
affair and finally gave up most of the miss
ing money. He explained that he had
found the pocketbook and contents in the
Ouggy. and not really knowing who it be-
longed 20 concluded to keep 1t. AS his
statement was very probable he was per
mitted to return to his work. The gentle
man lad been careless and dropped his
wealth in the buggy.
RETURN OF KNIGHTS TEMPLAR.-A band
OF music on Canal, Camp and st. Charles
streets last evening announced that the ex-
cursive knights Templar had returned from
Biloxi. AS the Templars marched along
-horoughtares mentioned they attracted
general attention. Each looked as fresh as
II Just out of a cool bath, and their unique
uniforms were as neat as if only then taken
out Of bandbOxes. Under plumed hats
beamed healthy and familiar faces, and pos
sibly there were smiles of satisfaction at
returning home. The short but interesting
history Of Camp Palmer will, at no distant
day, be recorded by a competent scribe,
who underwent all the hardships and de-
privations of camp life in Biloxi, where iced
champagne and fish dinners could be Oh
tanned only once each day.
FIFTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS WORTH OF
LoGs.-Monday night stranger from up
the river, who had brought down good
raft Of saw logs and sold them for
$500, strayed out to Dryades street and
entered No. 81, notorious den which
should be RACED to the ground or burned.
The man had his $500 with him when he
entered. but a fool and his money 5000
parts. French Marie, Lizzie Smith and
Louisa Douglass were in the house, which
IS a sufficient hint, for they can smell
money and tell to q dime how much money
man mas in his pockets. The stranger
left hurriadly, but his cash went before him.
He made complaint at police headquarters,
but up to date none of the currency has
been found. The women were found
secreted in the Fourth District, and ar
rested. Being innocent lambs, they know
nothing of the stolen wealth.
GRIEF MENTIoN.-Two horses, attached
to beer wagon at the corner of Louisiana
avenue and Tchoupitoulas streets, must
have had taste of beer, for they started
of at railroad speed, throwing the drivers,
Louis CHASER and A. Miller, to the ground,
injuring them slightly.

caiaboose last night because j. V. SchOel-
Loft says he stole Sl60 from him.

with undated fury, and the war bids fair
TO result disastrously to some one.
