PERSISTENT THIEF.
He RObs the Same Store Twice in
One Week and Gets away
with His Prize.

At 251 Carondelet street stands q small two
story frame house, the outside appearance 9
which is none the best for wear. 1t is occu
pied by Mr.. Frederick G. Hartleb as a resi-
dence and also as jewelry and watchmakin.
establishment. On either side of the door i
a show window, in which watches ant
jewelry of different kinds is placed for show
On Wednesday evening, the 10th inst
about half-past o'clock, as Mr. Hartleb was
sitting in the store, doing some repairing, he
heard loud crash, and on looking up found
that the left hand show window had been
smashed in, and saw man snatch watch
and chain and run rapidly up Carondelet
street with it. Mr.. II. gave the alarm, but
the thief was out Of sight before assistance
came, and no clue was ever discovered as to
the whereabouts of the thief. The window
was mended, and the occurrence had we'll
nigh faded from the memory of Mr.. Hartleb
when it was brought forcibly to his mind by
A second Bold Robbery,
which took place on last Monday, the 18th
inst, about the same time in the evening.
Upon this occasion, Mr.. Hartleb was in the
back room at supper, and his wife was taking
charge Of the store, when she says short,
thicLset, hump-backed negro man, kept
prowling around the window on the left hand
side of the front door, Suddenly he struck the
window with thick, Short iron bar, shat
'ering the entire frame and glass, and hur-
'iedly making grab for what he could get
lis hands on, succeeded in carrying away this
ime three heavy double case silver watches. |
Again the thief made his escape with his
'rize, as no assistance was at hand to aid in
lis capture. 1t will be remembered that this
5 not the first time Mr.. Hartleb has been
made the victim of these negro thieves.
'ome months ago two negroes went into his
tore and robbed him of valuables to a large
mount. And this time his loss approximates
200. Is there policeman on that beat?

HE PL,No-PLAYINi OF THE PERIoD.-It
was young woman, with as many white
tlounces round her as the planet Saturn has
rings, that did it. She gave the music stool
a whirl or two, and tuffed down to it like a
twirl of soap-suds in a hand-basin. Then
she pushed up her cuffs as if she was going
to fight for the champions belt. Then she
worked her wrists and hands to timber EN-, I
suppose, and spread out her fingers till they
looked as though they would pretty much
cover the ey-board, from the growing end
down to the little squeaky one Then these
two hands of hers made jump at the keys as
if they were couple of tigers coming down on
flock of black and white sheep and the
piano gave great howl as if its tail had been
trod on. Dead stop-so still you could hear
your hair growing. Then another howl, as if
the piano had two tails and you had tread on
both of EN- at once, and then a grand clatter
and scramble and string Of jumps, up and
down. back and forward, one hand over the
other, like stampede of rats and mice more
than anything l can call music.-[ Ohuer

MEETING OF THE WHITE LEAGUE AT
ST. MARTINVILLE.
No Compromise for Them.

, According to previous notice, the Whit
Leaguers OF St. Martinville and vicinity, me
this day, the 18th Feb, 1875, at Duchamp'
Hall and organized the meeting by the ap
pointment of MIR. Chs. Gueriniere as Presi
dent, and Chs. L. LacaZe as Secretary.
On motion, a committee composed OF
Messrs. A. Declouet, Chs. Gueriniere, E. A.
Duchamp and Hy. Wallet, was appointed to
prepare resolutions expressive of the views OF
the assembly.
The committee reported the following pre-
amble and resolutions, which on motion of
| Mr.. w. Thomas were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, the illegal and violent usurpation
of 1872 has trampled upon all the rights of
self government and frustrated 7all the efforts
OF the people OF sovereign and coequal
State of the Union to maintain these rights:
Whereas, the gross and palpable frauds of
| the Returning Board Gas set forth and exposed
| in the report Of the first Congressional Com
mittee), upheld by the arbitrary Intervention
OF the President of the United States, have
again in 1875 sapped the very foundations of
OF republican institutions.
Whereas, the people of Louisiana by their
unfaltering and persistent resistance to mis-
rule and usurpation have asserted and estab-
lished the proud claim OF manly and patri-
otto devotion to the great principles of con-
stitutional liberty; and
Whereas, the cause of Louisiana is now at
the bar of the high tribunal of public opinion
and in the hands of the American people.
BE 1t resolved, That with all due respect for
and without impugning the motives and
patriotism of those members of the Conserva-
tive Legislature who have entertained propo-
sitions OF compromise, or voted for the same. |
in the hope of solving thereby the difficulties |
of our position, We, the people of St. Martin, |
in mass meeting assembled. repudiate any
and all compromises having in view or coun- |
tenancing the recognition of the kellogg |
of the Hahn organization, and Of
the legality of the military interference of
Federal authority in the organization of our
Legislature and in the internal affairs of the
State.
Resolred, That our submission to the pres
ent dc tdcto government is, and has been com
pulsory, and that in our present helpless and
distressed condition, we appeal for Justice
md redress to our sister States, whose vindi-
cation of the rights of down trodden Louisi
ina can alone save our common country from
he encroachment of Capitalization, and the
Of high-handed abuses of
power.
Resoloed, That copy of these resolutions

entatives, the Hon. Chs. Delhommer and the
Ion. Felix VOORHEES,, and the same be pub

Two of the Parties Implicated
Come to Grief.

1t will be remembered that on the evening
OF the 18th instant, about s o'clock, some
parties entered the store of Mr.. Richard

THE SUSPENSION BRIDGE AT At. Jopy.

At the time of its construction there
were only three larger suspension BRIDGES
in the world. One of these was at Niaca-
ra. and the other two at Freyburg, Swiiz-
erland, and Lewiston, N. Y. 1t NAV be
stated that the span is $50 feet between
the points of suspension, the width of road
way is % feet, and the floor is 20 feet
above the highest spring tides. The tow
at the base. and feet square at the cap
stone. They are built of grey granite.
from Spoon Island, on the River Saint
John. The cables are ter in number. three
inches each in diameter, and each con-
tains 800 strands of best No. 9 iron wire.
one-elghth of an inch in diameter. They
were constructed on the Douglas Road,
and six barrels of linseed oil and Frank
lmite were used in boiling them to pro-
tect them from the weather. The anchors
are in the solid rock They are made, of
best refined iron, 1-2 inches in diameter
Each cable has two ofthese. the one being
six feet behind the other, in holes drilled
by machinery eight feet into the rock.
They are at right angles to the tangent of
the curvature Of the backstays. and are.
held by iron wedges and lead. The an
chorages are securely housed and pretec.
ted by masonry. Each cable is 1,O30 feet
in length, and the total length Of wire in.
the structure would extend q distance Of
GOO miles The suspension rods are three
eighths of an inch by six-eighths, and are
IVA in number. alternating from one ca.
BILE to another at regular distances. The
work of placing the cables was performed
by machinery from the eastern end. the
haipo a
worked by two horses.
The strength OF suspension bridge is
calculated by the stability of the towers
and the power of Its cables. These have
stood the test of over twenty years and
are as secure as ever. In March, 1868,
the heavy gales causing great oscillation
for several days, portion of the roadway
OF the bridge gave away and fell into the
river. Fortunately no person was on the
bridge at the time. 1t was then thought
advisable to renew the entire woodwork,
and this was done in a most complete
manner by Mr.. Tomlinyon, C. f. The
beams which support the flooring were
replaced with pitch pine, truss work was
added, and substantial braces placed along
the bridge at different points, adding
greatly to its rigidity and preventing the
possibility OF recurrence of the accident.
In 1864 a flaw was found in the rock of
the southeast anchorage, and measures
were taken to prevent any accident from
this cause, the assurance being made
doubly sure by the precautions then taken.
Mr.. Charles Walker, c. E., was the en-
gineer of these latter repairs, and made
some important improvements in the sys.
tenn of the anchorage at this place. By
this system the defects in the rocks are
overcome, and full security guaranteed.
The bridge may now be considered
thoroughly safe. and with proper care
must SO remain. 1t has been kept under
constant supervision, and the stout floor
ing of four inch shore spruce has been re-
newed regularly every live years.
