h1LLED WITH AN AKA quar-
rel took place on the Adclard Landry
plantation, in this parish, last Satur-
Gay evening, between two colored
men named Joseph Melancou and
Joseph Jean Baptiste, which resulted
in the fatal .wounding Of the latter.
Melancon was arrested upon the charge
of murder, and the case was exam
ined by Parish Judge Maher last
| Wednesday. The facts elected by
the testimony Of witnesses are sub
stantially as follows: The quarrel
originated at a ball, about some triv-
ial personal matter. Deceased as
saulted Melancon with an open knife,
and as the latter retreated decreased
continued to advance upon him threat
ening to take his life. Melancon
picked up an axe which lay in his
path, aud as his antagonist rushed
forward, struck him on the head with
the weapon, causing a fracture Of the
skull from which portion Of the
brain oozed. Baptiste fingered until
Monday, and then died of his injury.
The nature of the evidence proving
conclusively that Melancon had acted
in self defense, Judge Maler ordered
his discharge from custody.
------------------
A regular monthly session of the
Police Jury was held at the Court
House last Monday. Official proceed
ings published elsewhere will acquaint
our readers with details Of the bust
ness transacted. The Parish Attor-
ney reported unfavorably upon the
proposed purchase Of a map of the
parish, and the matter was postponed
for consideration at the next regular
meeting. An ordinance supplying
deficiency in the la6's relative to the
manner Of making the parish tax rolls
was offered and adopted. The Parish
Attorney was instructed to take charge
of all the delinquent lists of parish
taxes aud proceed judicially against
the parties whose names appear there
upon for the purpose of recovering
the amounts due. The aggregate of
all past due and uncollected sparish
taxes is about $4,000, and if even
one halfthis amount can I've recovered,
it will be a great relief and will large
~ absorb the outstanding indebted
ness Of tho parish, rendering feasible
a return to the cash system il con-
Quoting the parochial government.
The Police Jury approved the approx
innate list Of expenses that has beeu
published in the CHIEF during the
term Of thirty days required by law,
and instructed the Tax Collector to
proceed with the levy and collection
Of the current parish tax Hereunder.
Under this estimate, the regular par
ish tax will b l34 mills, and the
school tax II mills.

Last Tuesday evening, between
sunset and dark, we witnessed a rare
spectacle in the shape of a very large
aud remarkably brilliant meteor,
which shot towards the earth athwal t
the Western sky, leaving behind a
narrow column Of white film or vapor
to mark its course. This line Of va
por remained visible for fully half an
honr. and scarcely began to dissolve
or alter its form until eight or ten
minutes after the meteor fell. Sew
eral other persons in town observed
the phenomenon and were much at
tracted thereby.
"Those minstrels," who we're an
nounced to give performances here
two weeks ago but failed to come to
time on account Of sickness in the
family, are expected to arrive to-day,
and advertise exhibitions at the D. S.
q. B. Hall this evening aud to-mor-
row evening. The managers of the
troupe have ignored the CHIEF in the
bestowal Of advertising favors, but
presuming they have done SO through
ignorance of the best method of an
nouncing their show, rather than an
intention to slight us, we freely give
them the benefit Of this announce
ment gratis, and hope they'll play to
full houses.

In Trouble Again.

Those who remember the frequent rows
of I. E. Ingham, Davenport lawyer, and
especially that one on our streets, with
Maud" in his buggy, last September, will
not be surprised to hear that he is now in
jail in Chicago, charged with assaulting a
man with a deadly weapon. According to
the Chicago papers he was stopping at the
Matteson House with woman, and taking
expensive livery rides, When he went to
the tittsburg depot, the livery man sent
him down. and directed that his baggage
be brought back if he didn't pay his bill.
He refused to pay and stabbed the man
who had his baggage because he wouldn't
give it up. All the excuse he made was
that The paid his bills every six months. y
He is in rather badlscrape this time.

An Illegal Taxa New Township
Wanted

The agitation Of the tax matter in Mo
line has resulted in the discovery that
their township tax Of $7,400 was illegally
assessed, and therefore cannot be COL
lected.
And now an effort is to be made to have
that portion of Moline which comprises II,
range J., lying north of Rock river, set of
from Moline, and organized into new
township-and they want the people in
that part of II, range 9, in this township,
to join with them in the formation of new
township, which we hope they will not do
The fractions No. II, range !, west, and
No. II, range /, east, would make very
good shaped township. This would
include Carbon Cliff and Coal town, with
Rock river for the southern boundary, and
Carbon Cliff would be good name for the
township.

3. OPT acres of coal land, and that the num-
Der of acres worked out is 379f. The
greatest number of miners at work at any
one time during the year was GA, and the
average number employed was sos. There
were produced during the year 240, 46s tons
Of coal, at an average value of $217 per
ton at the mines, The total valued ofcoal
mined is placed at 1921, 667, and the
famount of capital employed in the mining,
at $236, 400. The capacity of production
lis set down at $50, $50 tons. The number

To the Editors Of The Argus:
| read your comments in Saturday s
ARGUS in regard to blaming the 4. |. Co.
Agr'l Association for allowing Mrs. Downs
a stand in the fair ground. Now the facts
and evidence elected before the courts are
these: Mrs. Downs, went into the fair
ground and took possession of the booths
she wished to occupy without any permit
whatever from me, or the r. /. Co. Agrl
Associ alton.
1t is true they were warned of her bad
character and doings on her previous oc
cupSing booths at the fair ground. The
secretary did recognize her right to be
there by making her pay for her booths.
He also testified in court that The order
ed her out, the night the horse fair ended ;
that she promised to go, but failed to git, y
and remained and carried on business that
night and until near IL o'clock the next
day-the day in which the riot occurred
The bold attack Mr.. Jackson made in
court, that the r. [. Go. Agrl Association
had prostituted and made their grounds
an 'iniquity of heU' was unjust and was
only applicable to Mrs Downs. She was
there, to the disgust Of the society, they
blaming me for letting her il. and blam
ing the secretary for not getting her out.
She got in unknown to me, before the trot,
and outgeneraled and deceived two secre
taries trying to get her, after the trot was
over. 0. j. DMICK.
Maj. Beardsley admitted in his argu
ment that he was employed by the Agri
cultural Society to prosecute this woman
And Mr.. Dinnick admits that the society
officers were warned of her bad charac
ter" and that the secretary did recog
nize her right to be there by making hel
pay for her booths" Was there not som.
justification, then. for Mr.. Jackson's alu
sions to the society? And does it no
look little bad for the Agricultural So
ciety to be engaged in prosecuting wo
man while paying no attention to others VIII

society should espouse no ones quarrel
but should treat alike all who occupy an,
