"A fire broke out on the night of

Theatre during the performance Of
the 1.-TWO Orphans" which in a few
moments spread with devouring fury
and burned the whole building. The
flames which spread rapidly, soon en-

panic became general. The audience
rushed for the doors; women tainted,
the aisles were blocked and many
were thrown down and tramped on.
The last accounts give a frightful
loss of human life, no less than two
hundred and eighty-five bodies were
taken from the ruins.

WE have just seen and read the
cheat count of the Board for District
Judge and District Attorney for our
District, and find that it bangs all
cheat creation. Blackman has been
counted out by robbing him of $50
votes and giving his opponent, Col.
r. A. Hunter, who has been counted
in, 251 more votes than he received.
James Andrews has been counted in
giving him 161 more votes than he
received, thus defeating the duly
elected candidate, E. G. Hunter,
whom they robbed, to keep up the
steal, of l59 votes which were legal
ly and fairly cast for him.

THE CHEAT COUNT.

The thrice infamous Returning
Board. whose former cheats pale
their swindling fire, before the re-
cent count, had to figure up and fg-
ure out some huge forced balances to
carry their point. But, as we expec'
ted and predicted, they were up to
time and did the job according to the
palmiest count, addition, subtraction
and division of the best days of Mat
Wells and Keno Anderson. AS far
as we are posted at the present wri-
ting we give below some samples OF
this new Radical algebra, which may
serve as a record and some villainous
news to our defrauded people, and
we hope the special friends and pets
of the Returning Board here, will give
these items a passing glance before
they carve their Christmas turkey:

polls; l44S Democratic and Al Radi-
cal votes counted out and the whole
parish ticket changed.

out.

Born Levisse and Brewster, two
of the Radical aspirants for Electors,
were really ineligible at the time
they were nominated as such and
even when cheated in by the Return
ing Board. But that was not hard
TO overcome by the wire pullers of
the Buzzard crew. The other six
counted in Electors met to cast their
sham cheat, both Levissee and Brew
ster keeping away long enough for
the six TO declare vacancy and then
appoint the two purposely absent
ones to fill their own vacancy, which
never did exist. But they did it in
style in the Counting Board Room in
presence of Mat. Wells, Keno An
derson and several others of the same
ilk, cast the 8 votes Of Louisiana for
Hayes and Wheeler, and then finish
ed the fraud by appointing Keno
Anderson the Messenger to carry the
perjured cheat to Washington.
