The publication OF card in this paper
signed with the name OF Louis Power
was gross imposition upon US and ar
Infamous outrage upon that gentleman
The card was received through our busi
ness department, and was accepted with
the implicit faith which the genuine
name Of Mr.. Power always merits. We
have since discovered that the name
was n forgery and the card a base and
malignant fabrication. We, therefore,
tender to Mr.. Power our sincere regret
for having been deceived into making
the publication In question, and de.
nounco the author Of the forgery as a
scoundrel 50 low that It would be com
pliment to call him villain. '.'.,f..
Attention Is called In this connection
to the genuine card OF Mr.. Power. which
will be found on our fourth page. +,

sHOOTuN1i APFRAY ON ST. CHARLES
STREET.


About half-past IL o'clock to-day o
difficulty took place on st. Charles
street, near the corner OF Common, be-
tween Mr.. Angelic Rodriques and Mr.
George Mcconnell, which resulted In
the shooting OF a young man named
VIM. Keller
A DEMOCRAT reporter was Immediately
upon the scene, and CLEANED the follow
ing particulars
It appears that Rodrigues' paramour
Jennie Virgins, had been shown up In
the columns Of the Chicago Street Ga.
zette. and Rodrigues, while in conversa.
tion with George Mcconnell, made the
remark that he was going to thrash the
man that had written his girl up. Nc.
Connell remarked that that was q job
easier said than done.
This seemed to rouse the anger in
Rodrigues' breast, ard he made lick
at McConnell; he then drew his pistol
and fired, but instead OF hitting McCon-
nell, the intended mark, the ball sped
wide Of it's aim and took effect I'm VIM
Keller's leg just rs he was In the act OF
separating the combatants.
The wounded man was conveyed to
the Charity Hospital for medical treat.
meDt. RodrigTes and Mcconnell were
arrested and locked up In the Central
Station, where a reporter interviewed
them, but neither would make state
ment. Rodrigues acknowledge the
shooting OF young Keller.

CITY ITEMS.

What did they care for this being the
centennial year or our national exis-
tence, those unknown thieves that bur
glariously entered the residence OF Mr..
Gueble, No. 1868 Bienvile street, on
Wednesday night. They were on the
make, and they made a good haul, get
ting away with one gold watch and
chain. a vest, and u pocketbook con
tanning a SIS William. The entrance was
effected by climbing gallery post and
thence through an open window. The
thieves made their exit in the same
manner.
Even In this, the centennial year Of
our national existence, gasoline oil Is
Just as likely to explode as 1t did in
years gone by. as will be seen by the
following: Last night. about o'clock,
Mr.. II. Ziegler and his little sou, a boy
about 3 years OF age, were severely
burnt about he hands and arms while
In the act Of lighting gasoline lamp at
the store. corner OF Ninth aud St.
Thomas streets. 1t appears that the
boy was fixing the lamp when some OF
the burning 6uid fell upon his hand,
and his father, In attempting to save
him, was also severely burnt.
J. .E. Quinn did not care "A rush for this
being the centennial year CT our ma
tional existence or any other year. He
had good cause and did verify believe
that one Joseph Edwards did larceny,
from No. SIT Dryades street. q gold
| watch and chain. a breast pin and a
locket, all valued at $3.50. And in this,
the centennial year OF our national
existence, Court Officer Adams bounced
the festive Edwards and inarcerated
him in the Sixth Precinct.
Joseph Lewis was In want Of covering
for his pedal extrernitics, In this, the
centennial year OF our national exist
ence. 80 he entered the sleeping apart
ment OF Richard Nolan, on the steam
boat Mary Ida, and discovering that
Nolan was bountitully supplied with
shoes, he pinched pair; and Officers
Dugan and Dowling pinched him, and
the last seen OF Lewis he was killing
time In the Harbor Station.
Gorin Brown, alias CORN Celestin, is
the name OF a gushing female in this,
the centennial year OF our national OK
istence, and she was housed In the Fifth
Precinct last night, charged with cutting
and wou1ding with intent to kill one
Louisa Royal.
Including this, the centennial year OF
our national existence, Caroline Jones
has reached the 45th year OF her exist
ence, and yet she has not given up her
stealing propensities. She was pulled
last from 249 st. Louis street, at the
request OF q. T. Frank, who charges her
with breach OF trust and embeZZlement.

A MODEL POLICEMAN.


We regret that we have been unable
to identify by name or number the
valiant Metropolitan who last night
patrolled St Charles street. in the neigh
borhood Of Gravier. A short time after
II o'clock on Thursday night most es-
timable and respectable woman, in the
employ OF a gentleman residing upon
Gravier street, left her employers house
and proceeded quietly out the street to-
wards her own residence. On reaching
the corner Of st. Charles street, she was
startled by some one grasping her
by the shoulders and informing her
that she was a prisoner. Her re-
,monstrations and the incoherent or
ders of her captOr attracted the
attention OF several gentlemen who
happening to be in the neighborhood
Immediately approached, and dis
covered that the woman was in the
clutches Of valient guardian Of the
peace, who was endeavoring to bring
her to the police station. One OF the
gentlemen who had seen the prisoner

At the meeting OF the Board OF Health
called for last night, Drs. 9audet and
LeMonnier and Mr.. Alfred Shaw alone
were present, those who failed to attend
being Drs. Finney, Smythe and White,
and Messrs. Woodward, Heath and
Joubert. No quorum.
The report Of DIR. Taylor, the In
spector OF the Second District, was
read, and showed that the streets
and cutters OF the district were
in u very filthy condition. espe-
cially In the rear Of Claiborne street,
and says "the rains have ceas sd and tho
dirt has been left in the cutters, which
prevents the water flowing freely when
the water plugs are open. 1t is made
my duty to report upon the sanitary
condition of the entire city, aud / warn
the Board that unless the streets are
immediately ciedned we must expect the
evil consequences resulting thereftom.'
Several dHries In the Sixth District
were reported MS nuisances by DR. Baily,
among them are one on Austerlitz
street, another on Constantinople, and
the dairy of the irrepressible Pat Clark,

or the streets and cutters which needed
immediate cleaning, but had been in.
formed by Mr.. Burke that he had
no means for the purpose. Col. Loan
had, at Dr. Gaujet's request, issued
orders TO the police to enforce the
health ordinances, but the police had
failed to pay any attention to the mat
ter, and the dumping OF filth and garb.
age into the cutters was still continued
DR.. Gaudet says, besides, that he has
never seen the city in such a filthy con
dition, and that In case an epidemic
was to visit US he feared the conse'
quences.
OF the absent members OF the board
five are in the city, and one is absent a1
the Centennial, and two or three have
never appeared at the meetings OF the
board since they were appointed.
1t is only re-echoing the sentiments o
the public to say that IL the members o
the Board Of Health have 30 much oc
cupation elsewhere that they cannot
afford to meet once week, at this criti
cal period Of the financial affairs Of the
city, and administer to the hygienic ne
cessities Of the community, they may as
we'll resign. Some OF them might re-
sign anyhow without provoking the
tears from the most sensitive.
