Row IN ALGIERs.-For some little. time
the employees of Coyle & Co., coal dealers,
have been threatened by strikers who de-
manded higher wages than the firm were
willing to pay, and who asserted that no
one should work for less than their price.
Yesterday they proceeded to open vio-
lence by first ordering the men to cease
working, and then attempting to enforce
the command by sticks, stones and fists.
The coal men were plucky and ready, how
ever. and having plenty of their kind Of
ammunition, held their own until the police
came, and the row was then ended. Sew
eral men were injured, and one or two Sc
verel =.
SPIEL MARKs.-Every now and then
some innocent is deluded into the belief
that he is purchasing twenty dollar gold
piece for half or quarter price, and is
thrown into fever of Indignation on
learning his valued possession may be pur-
chased for 1877 a hundred. Then he goes
for tie police. tells what . fool he has been,
gets the swindler arrested, loses his money
of course, and thinks he will never be
caught that way again. But he will be.
Some swindle just as simple will gobble
another X from him and he will make the
row all over again. Fanny Walker was
the one who last gave good greenbacks for
q composition spell mark, and William
Sanders the one who got nd spent her
money with the idea it served her right If
she can't take joke.
The VoUDoU CEREMoNIEs.-A large
number of enthusiastic seekers after SEN
sation proceeded to Bayou ST John on a
false scent Tuesday evening. The REPUB-
LICAN reporter was as eager to 60 as any
one else, and made preparations accord
ingly, but a we'll informed friend held him
back with the remark that he would thereby
expend several hours in making an A No. |
"gOoney" of himself, and not get voudOued
either. So he kept away and saved his
time and temper. Those who did 60 found
some bOnfres, evidences of destroyed
whisky, ballroom half filed with bac
chantes, but the voudOu queen was invisi-
BE. Last night promised to be another at
fair altogether, and those who went saw
stranger things than are dreamed OF IN
most peoples philosophy.

EIGHTH WARD. At a meeting of the
Eighth Ward Club last evening. +. Burns
was elected president, vice A. J. Armstrong,
deceased, and the officers elected May %
were installed. The club adjourned with

ANNIVERSARY OF THE ORLEANS Row
ING CLUB.-The programme for the first
anniversary of the Orleans Rowing Club,
to take place this evening at the club
boathouse at the head Of Terpsichore
street, has been slightly altered. 1t
was expected that there would be race
between the Riverside and Pelican clubs,
but the former club has declined taking
part. The programme as now determined
on will be as follows: A review of the Or
leans Club fleet will first be held, and after
ward there will be a pair cared race between
the boats of the Orleans Club. Afterward
four cared barge race between boats OF
the same club. The third race will be be-
tween the Pelican crew of the "Niola," and
the crews of the pair cared race in the four
cared gig of the Orleans Club, the Annie
r." Music and refreshments will be at
hand to regale the guests Of the club, and
the expectation is that this first anniversary
will prove success in every respect.
CRUELTY-The animal protection society
seems to have a rather hard time of it in
carrying out it's schemes. Two of the street
railway companies have obtained manda-
muses. which prevent any further interior,
ence with them, and yesterday the grand
jury took cognizance of the over Jealous ac-
tien of one of its officers in imprisoning
citizen Many complimentary letters Of
fcially Endorsed by the president and sec,
rotary of the company have been received
by prominent citizens containing appoint
ments of positions under the seal OF the
sOcity, but they have been very generally
declined. There is more common sense
about this subject in the community than
President Bernau seems to believe. 1t Is
the general impression, and it ls correct
one that the legal aspects of the matters
contained in the charter of the company
should be attended to by the police au-
thorities and not made the subject of profit
by self-constituted spectators.
In this connection, a Mr. H. Brown in
forms us that Notwithstanding the anxiety
IL Ht Il.
not be cruel to turtle by putting it on its
back, he is very Indifferent to the troubles
of turtles in other quarters. He addressed
two letters to Mr. Bernau telling him where
three turtles were having their shells taken
off, and the benevolent president paid no
attention to it.
The SECOND STREET MARKET.-Mr. j.
Curtis Waldo has entered the Fifth District
Court, claiming 1000 from Mr.. Raymond.
The allegations of the petition are rather
weak, consisting chiefly of vague asser-
lions of arguments to owners of lots. to in
duce them to sell them cheap, and Mr..
Raymond appears with a card, containing
assertions which suggest unconventional
demands, which would upset the plaintiffs
claim.
BRUrALITY.-SOme time Tuesday eve
ming some unknown persons entered Mr..
Dueo's stable, corner Of Drya and Terp-
sichcre streets. and cut and slashed his
horse, a valuable animal, in several places.
Who the parties were, or what motive
prompted the vindictive act. Mr.. Duco is
unable to state. His wedding was taking
pIace at the time, which adds to the aggra-
walton. This is clear case of cruelty to
animals. but the society for its prevention
is useless under the circumstances. The
officers haven't the ability to discover the
perpetrators and if they had the police
would be more effectual in causing justice
