Not long since a very nervous lady took
passage at Tip Top House, to descend by the
almost perpendicular railroad. Her fears
were apparent to every one, and the following
unique dialogue took place between her and
the conductors
Lady-"Mr Conductor, how do you hold
these cars when yon want to make a stop"
Conductor-"Madam, we apply the brake,
which you see there"
Lady-"Suppose,M Mr.. Conductor, that brake
should give way, what do you do then"
Conductor-"Madam, we then apply the
double-actIng brake, which you see at the
other end of the cars"
Lady-"But, Mr.. Conductor, suppose that
brake should not be sufficient to check the
cars, where will we 60 then"'
Conductor-"Madam, / can't decide. That
depends entirely upon how you have lived in
this world"

Horrible Murder.
A Young Tennessean Shot in Cold Blood.

Elsewhere we refer to the lynching Of two
the murder Of young Elliot. The Tines Of
the 18th inst, contains a long account of
this diabolical murder, from which we gather
the material facts. Two days before the
tragedy, two young men named J. c. and
Cyremus Elliot, of Tennessee, arrived at
Shreveport from New Orleans, Oh their way
to Texas
They had a considerable sum of money
with them, and, in their wanderings about
town, were foolish enough to make a lavish
display Of it. Among the acquaintance
which they made was a negro named Ed.
Hill, with whom they drank, and who
became apprised Of the fact that they Lad
the money in their possession. The man
Hill is said to have sent word to white
man named Oliver Hill, telling him that he
was wanted out at Doc Jones's, as there
would be business for him.
The white men went out to this place
which is a gamblers hell, mile from the
town, and the negro and the brothers
Elliott, with Hill and Jones, were all
together in Jones's house when the deed
was done.
A game of cards was proposed, and the
older brother, J. c., and the negro sat down
to play. After Elliott had lost some fifty
dollars, the younger brother interfered to
stop the game, when a difficulty occurred,
during which the younger brother was shot
and killed. The Sheriff having been APP
prised of the fact, found the body lying on
the floor of the house, Shot through the
heart. Two pistols were found one lying
upon the ground, the other Oh the body of
the murdered man. These had been placed
Oliver Hill, A. G. Furmen Tor Fuhrman) and
Jake Duhr, clerks for Jones, were arrested
on suspicion and incarcerated in the parish
Jail. The negro fed and had not been ar
rested at last accounts.
The corpse as viewed by the coroner was
that of man apparently about 81 years of
age. As it lay there stretched out upon the
floor, it presented a sickening spectacle to
the eye. The breast was barred, exposing a
gunshot wound. into which it seemed as
though man could place his clenched hand.
All around the unsightly perforation was
sprinkled fluctuations seemingly made by
scattering No shot, presenting to view a
sight which was revolving in the extreme.
The men Oliver Hill and G. S. Jones, who
were lynched, were desperadoes of the most
violent character, and had long been the
terror Of the town. The testimony of the
surviving brother shows it to have been a
cold-blOOded murder.

at No. sol Royal street, were startled by a

Almost speechless with fright and yet re

The thief made hasty exit when he found

into the back yard and jumped over the
fence. Mr.. Rousseau at once gave chase,
alarming the neighborhood, but notwith-
standing that every outlet was closed the

out, saw the thief moving about. In an
instant his gun was at his shoulder, and
the two barrels were discharged in rapid
succession. In the smoke the man got off,
aud it is not known whether he is hurt or
not.
On hearing the firing, the people turned
out en- masse, and by every endeavOr sought

THE ALDERMAN FESTIVAL.

For some time past the large circle of
friends of Branch No. Z, Hlbernia Benevo-
lent Association, has been busy preparing
for yesterday, where they might testify
their esteem for the gallant boys. 1t was
the only topic of conversation, and many
have lived, for days past, on the bright an
ticipations of sport. Yesterday afternoon
the crowd began early to take up their line
of march to the Fair Grounds, and it was
but short time before they were filled with
pleasure seekers.
The roll of drums called the visitors to the
grand stand, at four o'clock, for the hurdle
race of three leafs. ending Star beat Lady
Johnson and John Morgan, taking the purse
Of $50. The next race was mile heats, and
was won by the same horse.
After this, came the trotting race between
Shamrock and Denny brook, which was
one-sided affair for Shamrock. Pacing, run
ming and trotting races followed; the crowd
frequently testifying their appreciation of
the sport, in loud and prolonged applause.
After the sports atield We're ended the en-
liyening strains Of the band made the blood
Jingle, and the ladies and gentlemen pres
ent. with one accord, launched out in waltz,
ouadrille and polka, which was kept up
until a late hour.
Judging from the manifestation of public
feeling Yesterday, there can be no doubt but
what the next day of the Festival will be
grand success. Look for the next Sundays
treat from Branch No.7.

A dispatch from Shreveport, under date
of May II, says two men-C. I. Jones and
Oliver Hall-charged with the murder of a
young Tennesseeaa named Elliott, were
taken from the Jail on the previous night
and hung by masked citizens Of that place.
During the trial OF these men on Saturday,
the brother of the murdered man and the
principal witness for the State was missing
and it was supposed he had been put out of

the prosecution would fail. Jones was pro-

Trial of the Engine of No. IA.

About year ago Philadelphia No IA re-
ceived handsome engine, and although
there has been great curiosity to see her put
to the test there has been no public trial
Sunday, however, the boys got the engine
out, and, proceeding to the corner Of Clai-
borne and Common streets, gave her a
chance to show what she could.
The word was given, and through 100 feet
of hose, 14-inch nozzle, water was thrown
81 feet.
1t is generally conceded by all who wit
messed the trial that she could have done
better, but the steam gauge got out oforder,
and for fear Of consequences the full pres
sure of steam which the boilers can stand
was not raised.

Removal of army He. dau.r,er..

WASHINGTON, May 1.-the Erening Star
tonight says that the President has finally
consented to the removal Of army head
quarters from this city to St. Louis, and
that Gen. Sherman and his staff will leave
here about the LIST of June. Gen. Sherman
has, for long time, in fact ever since he
has been commander-in-chief, desired to
make st. Louis his headquarters, for reasons
cf the geographical position of St. Louis.
Besides these reasons there has been much
clashing of jurisdiction between the Cen
eral of the army and the Secretary of War,
and it was thought that by separating them
in distant cities, the duties of each could be
more clearly defined.

A MAN KILLED BY A PANTHER IN MIsSIs-
sIPPI.-We learn, from the Vicksburg Times,
that colored man met with horrible
death near Delta, on the 14th inst.
His body was found lying in the road
and huge panther was standing over it,
eating one of the shoulders. The people
ran back to their houses for fire-arms and
returned to kill the animal. When they
got back the panther was still engaged eat
ing it's victim. They fired, but did not sue
coed in killing it, and it ran away in the
woods. They then went to the body and
found that the panther had eaten part of
the head, one shoulder and one foot off.

Heels Over Head.

An old cOlOred woman asks Growler to
come to her rescue. She was arrested on
the arrival of the steamer Mary Ida for
carrying two hens in a basket, with their
legs tied, as it was cruelty to animals. The
old lady wants to know what legal remedy
she has against her prosecutors. Under the
late laws, we fear the old woman will end
her days in the Penitentiary. The horrible
outrage she committed appals the commu-
nifty. The only way to carry hens now is to
wiring their necks first.
