A Victimized Employer.
Twenty.Three Hundred Dollars
Gone Where the "WOOd.
bine Twineth."

Mr.. W. F. Walsh, who owns large coope
establishment at the corner of Front snt
Customhouse streets, has been victimized BY
sn employee and beneficiary. 1t appears
that young fellow, sixteen years of age
named Joseph Cautini, has for many year.
past been in the employ of Mr.. Walsh, and
has received at the hands Of that gentleman
many acts Of kindness and generosity
The youth possessed the entire confidence
of his employer, and was often intrusted with
the custody and transmission of large sum:
of money for deposit and collection. Las
Wednesday Mr.. Walsh gave Cautini check
for $4,000 on the Louisiana National Bank
instructing him to present it for collection al
IL 80 A. NJ. Cautini left the establishment Of
his employer, but at P. NJ. of the same day
he had not returned, but Mr.. Walsh having
entire confidence in him, suspected nothing
wrong.
Three hours later, the boy was still absent,
which caused some fears to spring up in the
mind of Mr.. W., when he repaired to the
bank, and learned that the check had been
paid at noon, in two $1,000, two 500, and the
balance in $40 bills. 1t then dawned upon
him that Cautini had abused his confidence,
when he proceeded to the Office of Superin-
tendent Loan, and placed the matter before
him, who, consulting Capt. Malone, placed
the case in the hands of Detectives Cain and
Pecora, to work.
They began to watch the departing trains
and steamboats, that evening but without &C.
com plishing their end, and then vigilant
search was made in all parts of the city where
it was thought that the youth was most likely
to frequent, but with similar result Thurs
day morning one of Mr. Walsh's employees,
and a companion of Cautini, told Mr.. Walsh
that at 1890 Wednesday night, while cooper
ing barrels on the Elevator wharf, he was
hailed by Cautini, who was on the promenade
deck of the steamer James Howard.
Cautini called out to him goodbye, I'm
going to San Francisco, and moment after
the boat pushed of. Upon the receipt of
this information dispatch was sent to Baton
Rouge to stop the boat, and hold the fugitive.
A return telegram was sent from Baton
Rouge stating that the boat had passed up
between and P. NJ, but that the young
man was not on board.

the managers or the contractors Of
the said drainage, who prefer
their interest to the public health and do not
consider themselves guilty of murder, if by
their we'll directed efforts they have increased
their profits, though said delays or neglect
have caused several hundred persons taxed

THE GAS LIGHT COMPANIES.
An Important Bill in Chancery.

Messrs. Saml r. & @. L. Walker and F. O.
Zacherie have filed bill in chancery which
promises TO develop fully the whole history Of
the late gas light war. The bill was entered
on the docket of the United States Circuit
Court yesterday, and is quite lengthy docu-
ment.
It is brought by Charles 81. Kilgour, q mil.
liopaire of Cincinnati, against Henry Y. Attrill,
]. 81. Oglesby and James jackson, President
of the New Orleans Gas Light Company, and
sets forth that the complainant was the owner
of 1900 shares of stock in corporation
known as the Crescent City Gaslight Com
pany, incorporated under q statute Of this
State; that the value of this stock was $3.50,
600.
Kilgour alleges that q combination was
formed between Attrill and others to bring
about q consolidation between the last-named
company and the New Orleans Gas Light
Company, and to thai end set of directors of
the Crescent City Company called for large
installments which were extravagaut and not
needed, in order to close out certain indi-
viduals and have their stock fraudulently for
feited. The bill sets forth that in this the
board were successful, and high assessments
were made, and large number of shares
were accordingly declared forfeited on &C.
count OF the nOn-p8y nent OF THESE Calls, al
as is alleged against the rights of complain
ant
It is further alleged that Henry Y Attrill
employed T. ]. Harris and other brokers to
purchase on the streets all the forfeited stock
Of the Crescent City Gas Light Company they
could, in order to get full control OF the COM
pany, so that he might make consolidation
with the New Orleans Gas Light Company,
which consolidation was subsequently Effected.
Further, that this combination OF the two
companies was contrary to law and prejudicial
to the rights of the complainant.
He prays that in consideration Of the above
facts he have judgment against the defend
ants, declaring that the consolidation OF the
two companies be null and void, and that he
be decreed the owner of fifteen hundred
shares of stock in the Crescent City Gas
Light Company, of the value of $3.50 600, or
in the event that the court decides that the
consolidation of the two com panies be legal
tkat he have judgment against the New Or
leans Gas Light Company for CPS shares Of
its stock under the act of consolidation.
The litigation in this case promises to be
extensive, as all the parties to it are wealthy,
and many complicated questions in equity are
involved.

responded to by the grandson of the liberator

They shook the chains attached to the ban
ner, in the Mayors face, and drowned his
voice with shouts of '.No whiggery."

the Grafton, but finally Withdrew, and pro-
ceeded to his carriage under the protection of

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
A Brutal Murder in Red River
Parish.

Some days ago it was announced that 9
peddler named Marcus Jones, had beer
brutally murdered in Red River parish, and
that his murderers had succeeded in making
their escape.
The circumstances connected with the case
have just reached the city through the me.
dunn Of a private letter.
On the 25th of June the man Jones reached
Red River parish with pack mule and q
large stock of goods. He put up on the
plantation of Col Robio.
On the evening of the 25th Henry Nickel
son, who stops on the place, saw the peddler.
and told him that his brother, George Nickel
son, who lived about mile from the Robio
plantation, wanted to see him and purchase
some goods Jones left with Henry, and was
never seen alive afterwards.
His body was found about ten days ago, a
short distance from the place OF Geo. Nickel
son, buried just below the surface of the earth
with the pack saddle of the mule at the head
of his grave
There is no doubt of the fact that the
Nickelsons murdered the man, for, after his
disappearance, they took his mule to
camp and exchanged it for horse, which they
afterwards disposed of and arrayed them
selves in goods known to be in the pack of
the pedlar.
With the proceeds derived from the sale Of
the horse they gave a grand Fourth OF July
spread, which was attended By most of the
prominent people of the parish, including
Col Robio and DR.. Richardson, who both
made speeches on the occasion.
Sometime after the dinner the suspicious
Of Col. Robio were aroused regarding the dis
appearance of JONES' and he laid them before
the authorities together with the circumstan-
ces that pointed to the Nickelsons as being
responsible for it.
Through the timidity and negligence of the
sheriff OF the parish the NickelsoAs got wind
of the proceedings against them, and when q
move was made to arrest them, it was found
that they had fed to the swamps.
The sheriff, however, arrested number of
women and boy, and the boy pointed out
the place of interment Of the unfortunate
peddler.
Since this time. squads of men have been
organized. and have been securing the woods
and swamps in search CT the murderers, but
without success.
The Nickelsons, who are white men, are
noted throughout the parish as bad and
desperate characters, and some time ago,
suspicious were directed against them as the
murderers of man named Oglesby.
Through some source, Col. Robio was
warned that the murderers threaten to take
his life and the lives of his two sons, for in
forming against him, and he is nearly frantic,
and the probabilities are that he will become
insane unless they are captured.

Gov. Kellogg will leave for the NORTH

About sixty roustabouts were before
Commissioner Weller yesterday morning te
seize steamboat for wages.
I'VE learn by private letter from re-
liable gentleman who resides in Anderson
county, Texas, that the corn crop is short,
cotton only fair, and that more rain is needed
to make anything like good crop.
=. In our article in yesterdays edition
concerning the derivation and meaning of the
word Tchefuncta, we erred in the spelling Of
the good Abbe's name, which should be Rou
quette, instead of Roquette, and also as to his
age, which is about ffty-fve, instead Of sixty
five.
It is understood that the Governor will
decapitate some of the Southern Republicans
who presumed to call into account his con
duct and questioned his appointments There
appears to be some foundation for this, and 9
good many Southern Republicans are un-
happy.
Attorney Brown was up before the
First District Court yesterday morning, on the
charge Of acting in manner unbecoming an
attorney.
After hearing evidence Judge Abel dis.
missed the charge and honorably discharged
Mr.. Brown.
Witnesses for the defense impeached the
testimony of the prosecuting witness, who
will probably be held for perjury.
The residents in the neighborhood
of Louisiana Avenue, near st. Charles and
Prytania streets, complain that, lately, some
eight or ten handsome gongs have been stolen
from their gates The business is at last be-
coming monotonous to the victims, and
threats of dire vengeance are made against
the thieves if caught The dwellers in that
region propose offering reward of fifty dol
lars for the detection and surrender of the
thieves into their hands. Where are the
police?
"A new departure in the begging bust
ness has been taken by some tranps, whose
enterprise might have served better pur-
pose. All the old begging lodges have be-
come somewhat familiar to our citizens, and
some one more thoughtful than the others,
hit upon q plan whereby he thought he could
secure larger revenue without subjscting
himself to detection. The new departure
beggar enters gentleman's store, and saying
that he is very DESTROYS of posting letter he
has just written, requests the gentleman to
let him have postage stamp. So small re-
quest is rarely refused, and day spent in
going around the city on such mission must
result in quite neat sum.
