TAKING Toll ON BAYOU ST.. JoHN.-Re.
Gently several citizens have inquired as TO
the right of the Canal Carondelet Company
to charge toll on vessels that ply Bayou st.
John, and it is hoped that the interrogato
ries will be kept up. 1t is asserted that
skifs which pass ia and out Of the bayou
are charged half dollar toll, but by what
right is beyond the comprehension of most
people: That the bayou is a natural stream
can not be disputed, therefore no com bina-
ton may rightfully demand payment for
any craft that floats in that water. 1t may
be claimed that the city once granted the
company control of the bayou, but if such
was the case the city overstepped its pow
ers. Should a few of the men who suffer
by this imposition combine, they might
give the company or its lessees considera-
BILE trouble for levyiDg tolls on them. 1t Is
suggested that the managers SGT up Offices
on the banks of Lake Pontchartrsin and
the Mississippi river, and every vessel that
floats be made to pay tribute; it would be
quite as sensible as the present rule on
Bayou St. John.

THIRD DISTRICT COURT FOR THE PARISH OF
ORLEANS.
The Dallas weekly herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1885, 1875-08-28

Judge Burford had his gallantry
put 10 the test yesterday. Three re-
spectacle ladies we're brought before
him on charge of stealing peaches,
and as the papers were all regular and
the prosecutor aud witnesses present,
he had no recourse Tut to go On with
the case. IL is not often the Judge
gets into a position where his equa-
nimity is not equal 10 the occasion,
tut this time he was cornered; the de
PENDANTS smiled sweetly upon him,
and seemed to say, "of course you don't
believe thir ridiculous story, the idea
OF Us stealing peaches is absurd"
There was the prosecutor, however,
who wanted "jesliee," and with
a doleful sigh he ordered his
bailiG to open the court, and COM
menced the investigation. Though
the proof was plain a to the taking Of
the fruit, no shadow Of guilty intent
could be shown, and Judge b. thought
the Law would be satisfied with a two
bit fine from each of the fair defend
ants, and so announced. The ladies
triDped out Of court, the prosecutor
scowIed and stalked away, the specta-
tors laughed, and the Judge rubbed his
hands glasfully ,remsrking-"well, I'm
glad that JOys d0Hs, snyhos."

IL Its sb1p,

A gentleman from loui-yillr n VIZ
lnge In Denton county, just beyond
the Dallas county line, aud nl"nl
twenty-five miles northwest "i llls
city, furnished TnE HERALD yesterday
with the annexed additional rnrllrII'
lars OF the foul murder committed
there Monday night between eight
aud nine o'clock. The victim was MI
Henry Sterling, butcher and I"
gentleman highly esteemed by the
community In which he resided
Mr.. =. had sold during the day
couple OF beeves, and was,
when shot, making an entry III
his books In reference thereto. The
assassin approached him from behind,
and, as IL thought, stood In or near the
door of the butcher-shop when the
shots were fired. Eight buckshot
struck the unfortunate man In the LETT
side of the back part of the head, and II
ball entered the body just below the
left shoulder. Persons living within
fifty yards of the spot heard the shots
and went Immediately to ascertain
the cause, but Mr.. S. was already in
sensible and only breathed for about
fifteen minutes, remaining unconscious
the while. A man named Powell! was
arrested on suspicion of having COM
mitted the cowardly act and
is now in the Jail of Denton county.
The grounds of suspicion on which the
man was arrested were detailed to the
writer, but it is deemed proper to with
hold mere speculation until the affair
is judicially inquired into. The MUIR
,dered man was an Englishman, and
so far as is known, had no relatives in
the State. by upright, gentlemanly
department he had gained many
friends in the village where he had
lived and done business for nearly four
years, and they declare that they will
use every means known to the law to
bring his assassin to justice.
