The Assassination in st. Landry
Particulars of the Killing of Col.
Offut.

On Monday a dispatch was received an
nouncing that Col. Offu,, formerly Demo-
cratic Senator, had been assassinated in st.
Landry parish, and from persons who came
down on the steamboat Fleta. which arrived
last evening, we cleaned the following par
ticulars:
Col. Offut on Saturday was proceeding to
his home in buggy, and when about a mile
from Waxia Landing, on the Bayou Courta-
bleau, three miles from Washington, he was
shot. it is said, by negro, and was instantly
killed. The charge penetrated the back of
his head, and one Of the balls came out OF
his left eye.
The citizens of Washington claim to know
the name of the murderer, and assert that
steps will be taken to arrest and punish him.
but they refuse to give any information tina:
would lead to his identity, saying that they
propose to capture and deal with him accord
ing to his deserts.
Quite number of colored men are among
the citizens of Washington above referred to.
and they are just as anxious to capture and
punish the murderer as the white citizens.

The Katie Ashore.
Sucked In by the Current at the Bonnet
Carrie Creyasse.

Monday morning at about o'clock, as the
large and magnificent steamboat Katie was on
her way down the river, drifting down in a
dense fog, she was caught in the current
which rushes through the Bonnet Care Gre
vase, about thirty-fve miles above the city,
and before the engines could be started she
was through the gap.
All Efforts to turn her and bring her back
to the river were unsuccessful and, borne by
the current, she was landed in six feet OF
water, twenty-five hundred and twenty feet,
something less than half mile, from the river
bank.
As she was borne along she struck and
bounced over innumerabie stumps, but SO
great was the force OF the current that the con-
tact with the stumps amounted to nothing, AS
by it the great vessel was forced over or by
them.
The Katie is now lying, with her head on
a sand bank, 1920 feet, as above stated, from
the river.
THE KATIE HAD ON BOARD
three thousand bales of cotton, a large guam
tity of other freight and a large number of
passengers.
The passengers were at daylight all taken
off, and came down on the Lse, arriving in
the city Monday night.
Gen JEFF. Thompson WAS one of the pas
sengers, and he expresses the opinion that the
Katie
WILL NOT GET OUT
for some time, if she gets out at all.
Several tug boats have been sent to her as
sistance.
Some engineers think that it is possible for
the boat to be securely anchored and her
load taken off, and that she may be lightened
sufficiently to enable her to move in six feet
of water, and with the assistance of the tug
boats to face and successfully breast the cur.

A COWARDLY ACT.
A Drunken Man Shoots a Little Bow in
the Garden District,

About $50 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, while
crowd of boys were playing in the street, at
the corner of Constance and Fourth streets, a
man named ]. B. Jacobs came up Constance
street, considerably under the influence CT
liquor, and when he got where the boys were
playing, he deliberately pulled out his re-
volver and fred in the direction where they
were standing, the ball taking effect and
passing through the heshy part of little Harry
Powers's leg, just below the knee.
The following particulars were obtained
concerning the affair from several of the
boys who we're present:
1t seems that quite number of the boys
we're playing at the corner of Fourth and
Constance streets, when the accused. who
was evidently under the influence of liquor,
came up to the boys and taking hold of young
Harry Powers, placed his head under his arm
and struck him over the head with a pistol
and then deliberately shot him. After shoot
ing the boy he cursed him and started down
Fourth street to Magazine, up Magazine to
Washington, out Washington to Camp, where
some one tried to stop him, but seeing his
revolver, which he held in his hand, let him
pass.
He was pursued by companion of the
wounded boy as far as the Prytania car sta
ton, when policeman arrested and brought
him to the Sixth Precinct Station, where one
of the boys preferred charge against him
for shooting and wounding with intent to
commit murder. The boys state that this
man was shooting his revolver in the street,
from about o'clock in the evening, and was
heard to remark that he would shoot some
one. The wounded boy was conveyed to his
home on Washington street, between Con.
stance and Laurel, where his wound was ex.
amined and pronounced not dangerous by

would be brought before the Senate; but both
these bodies considered and debated upon

THE APPoRTIONMENT BILL
will be considered, it is probable and passed
by the House to-day. 1t is also probable that
