F1RE.-On Sunday night last our citi-
zens were startled from their beds at II
o'clock by the terrible cry of fire! and a
serious one it proved to be, withstand
ing it mi ght have been worse. The resi-
dencc ofDr. j. II. Cunningham on Bird
street between Pavie ana Texas was dis
covered to be on fire near midnight of the
night mentioned and, notwithstanding
tn" promptness of the alarm, in few
moments the whole structure was wrapt
in flames. the Doctor and his family esca-
ping from the burning hujllin4 with
their night clothing only. The building
was tue north one of 4 row of five resi-
d"nrcs on Sd street occupied by profession
al ana business men Of our city. and the
tact OF there being no wilma at the time
saved them from destruction; as it was,
it was with the utmost difficulty and by
hard work that the residence occupied by
Mr.. T. Halter and owned by Mr. Joseph
Henry was saved DR.. Cunningham is a
severe sufferer by this fire, losing his all,
including fine library, valuable papers
title deeds and a considerable sum of
money. The only bni1ding saved on the
| premises was the stable in which were
his horses, buggy and large amount of
forage. His loss can he safely estimated
| at least $1,000. The Doctor has the heart
felt sympathy of the whole people of our
city.
STILL ANOTHER BiAZE.-The chimney
of a house on Trnlcau street between
Front and Second, took fire ut 10 o'clock
on Monday night, hut was fortnnatcl;
extingnished without damage. If the
rain had not been falling in torrents at
the time, this last fire wonld have been
very disastrous for the wind was blowing
perfect gale at the time, and the hui|d-
ing is situated in q closely built neigh
borhood. No damage was done.
A good story is related of a gentleman
in this city. who Went fire hunting long
years ago. and after an unsuccessful ram
bic "Shinrd a pair of eyes, ahont two
o'clock in the morning and proceeded 70

One of the most popular Office men
ever in the Grand Ecore trade holds the
reins in the business department of the
Bart Able. 1t is not tlattering to say
that Capt. George Hamilton is in every
way worthy the unlimited confidence
reposed in him by the entire business
community of the trade. Honest to a
fault; closely attentive to all matters
intrnsted to his care, polite and thor
ough gentleman, are qualities which
have rendered him deservedly popular
He is the commission merchant for hun.
dreds OF small farmers along the river
sells their cotton and buys their goods
and that too without charge; while he
is the banker of the whole army of cot
ton buyers in the towns along the river,
bringing them hundreds of thousands Of
dollars every season. If the Grand
Ecore trade were to lose Hamilton, it
would be serious to contemplate, and we
hope he will long remain among friends
who know his worth and appreciate it.
HAMILTON, SINNorr and the BART ABLE,
are indispensable to us.

PACKARD's LAST TRUMP.
Which Has Been BADLY Played and
Euchfes Him.
Especial to N, Y. Tribune. ]

LopbclaI W N, L. 4rlDune.I
WASHINGTON, March 25.-Some Wash
ington lawyers think that Packard has
injured his own case by demanding
ions OF the constitution and the law of
1892 His application will be considered
at an early Cabinet meeting this week,
and will introduce an entirely new
question into the Louisiana case-one
that has not yet been considered by the
President or his Cabinet. That ques-
ton is whether or not the case as pre-
sented by Packard Is one Of those con-
templated by the constitution and the
laws in which military interference by
the general government is warranted.
During more than eighty years the
government Of the United States has
interfered in purely State affairs only
twice-once in Rhode Island and once
in Pennsylvania. During the eight
years of President Grants administra-
ton six such instances Of interference
occurred-two in Louisiana, two in
South Carolina, one in Arkansas, and
one in Texas. It is no secret that many
very able Republican lawyers are of
opinion that in several If not in most Of
these cases interference was unconstitu-
tional and illegal; and it is believed
that the sentiment in the Cabinet
Is almost unanimous against any
Intervention in State affairs which
can possibly be avoided. On the
vital question Of the continuance
of this system of interference the
Cabinet is an entire unit. Intervention,
if it should take place under the present
Administration, must be temporary, and
under circumstances which place it's
necessity beyond question. There may
have been some difference Of opinion as
to the details of the management of the
question in the two disturbed States so
far as it relates to the particular time
Packard and Chamberlain shall be with
drawn, or as to the conditions which
shall precede their withdrawal; but
upon the important principle that
Federal troops are not to be used to sus-
tain local governments In Southern
States there is entire unity.

Aer0mauts HOn0red when Dead-A1fred
DE Musset and Rachel.
Especial to New York World


PARIS, March 13.-The tragic death of
NM. Sivel and Croce-SpinelIi, the aero
nauts, in April, 1875, was one Of the
great events of the day. There were
three persons In the car at the time, and
the balloon assembled to the extraordinary
height Of $4,000 feet, when Sivel and
Croce-Spinelli were suffocated in the
rare atmosphere, and the other barely
escaped with his life. A monument to
their memory has been erected by SUBJ
scription on ground coded by the Mu-
nicipal Council for the purpose, and in
q few days their remains will be brought
from thelr, resting place In Pere La
chaise and placed by the monument,
which will be inaugurated on the 18th
OF next month.
Apropos Of Paul de Musset's bio
graphy of his brother Alfred, they are
telling q very pretty story Of the poet
and Mile. Rachel, who, thirty years ago.
was the great actress Of Paris, and per-
haps of the world. One day she invited
Alfred de Musset to dine with her, and
the rest Of the guests were all notably
wealthy men. Rachel wore very beau
tiful and valuable ring, which was no.
tioed and vastly admired. 'Gentlemen,"
mire the ring SO much, shall now offer
it for sale by auction. What will you
give for it?" In moment the bids ran
up as high as 5000 francs. But DeMus-
set was silent.
''And you, my poet" said the actress,
sswhat will you give?"
II give you my heart" was the reply.
"The ring is yours, was the reply
nor could she afterward, when the jest
seemed to have gone far enough, be
persuaded to take it back again. She
said:
"By Jove, but it is no jest. You have
given me your heart, and would not
return it for hundred thousand
crowns. You cannot take 1t back"
