ASTONISHED BURGLARS.
Two Marauders Receive a Warm
Reception.

The residence of Mr.. J. B. Van Bsnthuysen,
on Valence, between Pitt and Prytania streets
was entered by two burglars at half-past l
o'clock Thursday morning. While the fellows
were trying to open the bureau in Mr.. Van
Benthuysen's room, the gentleman awoke and
drawing a revolver from under his pillow
commenced firing upon the burglars.
The house is a two-story building. with a
gallery in front. Mr.. Van Benthuysen occu-
pied the front room up stairs, and when he
was awakened he saw that the window leading
to the gallery was open. Knowing that it was
closed when he retired, he quietly and eau
tiously raised himself and saw a man kneel-
ing at the bureau and another just under the
window, half in and half out of the room.
He quietly and cautiously drew his revolver
from under the pillow, and placing his hand
on his wife, who was between him and the
burglars, to keep her down, he, with his
right hand, quickly cooked his weapon and
fired at the one who was kneeling at the
bureau.
At the report the burglars fled, and Mrs.
Van Benthuysen screamed, but quoting his
wife, Mr.. B. pursued the invaders. One OF
them jumped over the gallery, and the other
went over the side. The distance to the
ground was about eighteen feet, but both men
escaped, Notwithstanding that Mr.. Van Ben
thuysen blazed away at them several times.

RATHER A MIXED CASE.
A Sugar Broker Arrested for
Forgery.

j. J. Martin, a well-known sugar broker,
was yesterday evening arrested, by virtue of
warrant, at 233 Galvez street, charged by
Louis Matheo with obtaining money under
false pretenses, to the amount Of 5000, and
also forgery. The particulars of the case are
as 70 flows:
1t appears that on the Goth day of June
last Martin went to Matheo, and showing him
a warehouse receipt for twelve hogsheads of
sugar, off red them for sale to Matheo, who
purchased them for 5000. The buyer and
seller went together and had them insured,
and Matheo rested easy, as he had no suspi-
cions that anything was wrong.
Last Wednesday Mr.. Matheo went to the
ware house for the sugar, and TO his surprise
found that there were only two hogsheads
there. He inquired of the re-houseman
what was the meaning of the transaction,
when he was was informed that MIR. Martin
had never had more than the two hogsheads,
and that he (the ware-houseman) had only
given him receipt for the two hogsheads.
This statement appeared very strange, and
Mr. Matheo Immediately suspe ted that Mar
tin had raised the receipt and placed ! in
front of the number 2, making the receipt
call for ~ hogsheads instead of the original
number placed by Martin in the warehouse
Mr. Matheo, finding that he had been swim
died. appeared before Judge Evans's First
Municipal Court and made an affidavit against
M ,rtin for obtaining money under false pre-
lenses and forgery, whereupon warrant was
issued for the arrest of Martin and placed in
the hands of detectives Pecora and Pierson.
They went in search of theirsman and over
hauled him as above stated.
| reporter of the BULLETIN visited Martin
in his cell at the Central Station, and obtained
| his versionsof the affair. Martin says that he
borrowed 1900 from Matheo. and gave him
as collateral security twenty-eight hogsheads
lofsuear, and that he was employed to sell
the sugar fdr: Matheo. Hs subsequently did
sell it, and went to Matheo with the proceeds
of the sale, which he offered him, but that
Matheos lawyer advised him not to receive it,
as he (Matheo) was in suit with the Sugar
Shed Company, and, therefore, he (Martin)
kept the money, when Matheo had him ar
rested. He also denies having ever had any
intention to swindle Matheo. And here the
case rests until the facts are developed.

Wednesday morning woman named Laura
McCrea entered the grocery store of MIR. Kel-
Ter, situated at the corner of Melpomene and
Liberty streets, and asked for bottle OF
whisky. While the proprietor was.at the barrel
filing the bottle, the woman leaned over the
counter and softly sliding open the money
drawer, stole therefrom S4S. and departed in
haste, before the proprietor discovered the
theft But Mr.. K. g suspicious rested upon
Laura, and he Immediately repaired to the

Acting Chief of Detectives, P. Fl. Boyle, who
promptly put specials Cain and Roxboro on
the case to work it up.
Thursday morning at o'clock they re-
paired to the place where the robbery had
been committed, and got on the trail of the
female till-tapper, and had lively trace
through the streets, alleys and byways; but at
last their labors were crowned with success,
for as the officers hove in sight of the st.
Mary's Market, 10 and behold, there stood
their fugitive, making purchases with her
i'll. gotten gains. The officers approached, in
formed them that she was wanted, and, con-

At nalf-past DclSck last evening, while
the steamboat Shannon was about making

she run into a barge containing some five
hundred sacks of cotton seed, which vas
made fast at the above landing, carrying
away about ten feet of the barge's bow, and
damaging a great quantity of the cotton
seed.
The barge Immediately began to make

the Union Oil Works, of Gretna. line was
quickly passed under the bow of the barge
and made fast to the wharf and boat, which
precaution saved her from sinking. Tn
party who was in charge of the barge at the
time of the collision abandoned her.
Mr.. Peter Riley, steamboat contractor, i'm
mediately went to work on the barge, assum-
ing personally the responsibility, and used
every effort to save as much as the seed as
possible by unloading the barge.

REpoRTED7[ iLLING OF JOHN GAIR.

CLrNTon, La, Oct 14-On the evening of
the 18th DR.. Saunders, of this place, was pois-
oned with solution of arsenic in dipper
and bucket of water administered by one
Catherine Mathews, sister-in law of John
Gair. When arrested she confessed her guilt
and said John Gair and Robert Ray insti-
gated her to the act.
The Deputy Sheriff and posse arrested John
Gair in Baton Rouge, under warrant from
the authorities of this parish, and started to
bring him to Clinton. About night they were
met by body of fifty or more armed men
who took from the Deputy Sheriff and posse
their arms, and took possession Of Gair and
sent the posse on to Clinton.
1t is said Gair was killed by the men who
took him from the deputy Sheriff. The same
body of men, or others, came into town, and
hung the woman. 1t is the opinion of the
entire community that the poisoning was done
by the woman, and that Glir and Riy insti-
gated her to the act.

Indignantly denied the rumor that his report
would be, in its nature, according to the ex-
pressed wishes of the council, and said that he
would state facts and nothing else; and Won
dering why Judge Dewing considered it alb

ing Governor before giving them to the pub
lie, this reporter withdrew.
There was another meeting of the Sachems
last night, but what transpired is not known.

THE COTTON TROUBLES.
Thieves In Our River Parishes.

The recent confagrations in the parishes of
more than ordinary interest in the occur
rences in that locality. For some time past
the negroes have pirated upon the fields Of
the planters, and stole very large quantity
of new cotton therefrom. This has given rise
to serious complaints, inasmuch as it was
known that certain parties we're in collision
with the thieves who we're pilIaging the fields
Of the planters. Hence the aggressive move
ment on the part Of those whose interests
were at stake.
After the labors of the year it is indeed
hard that those who have sought through
their industry, to effect the redemption of
our lands should be subjected to such hard
ships. The communication below We publish
for what it is worth, in toto, differing from the
correspondent, however:
Port HUDSON, La.
To Gov. VIM P. Kellogg:
Dear Sir-At the present we, as people,
need some protection from some source, and
I feel it my duty to call upon you to know
what be done to aid in suppressing an organ
lied mob that exists in East and West Fell
ciana and East Baton Rouge. They seem to
where they can carry off the most spoiis or
injure parties and intimidate the poorer
classes.
In some cases they have taken life, burning
stores and gin-houses and threatening par
ties to quit the traffic in seed cotton, and the
worst feature of it is, there is disposition on
the part of many of our citizens (white) to
encourage it. My son keeps o store; last
wear they came and shot at him during the
night. | did not know who to write to, but
wrote to Gen. Emory, who referred me to
YOU, The life Of my son is in danger; at
least he is informed to that effect by parties
who seem to know the particulars Of what is
going on. Also, his store is threatened, with
many others. What can be done? Or must
we defend ourselves as best we may? There
are parties here, white and black, who wish
to assist us, bat we are scarce in arms that are
of any use.
Now, am in my SD year. I have never
taken any part in politics; scarcely ever voted
at an election; was an orderly in the Confed-
crate army, and served five years as a captain
of militia in Mississippi, and wouli now serve
my State to suppress lawlessness.
Let me hear from your Excellency soon
what is to be done. Very respectfully,
w. B. LIGAN.
Information has been received that the
Clubhouse of Saml. J. Powell, near Baton
Rouge, was burnt on Friday night last, and
that the Clubhouse of E. G. De Isle, on the
