A True History of Capt. Gains slippery
Prisoners Escape.

A True History Of Capt. Gains slippery
Prisoners Escape.
There was never q more appropriate alias at
tached to thief's name than the one which was
attached to Thomas Connors, which alias was
ssSlippery," for it was in every way characteristic
Of the man. Although he was only nineteen
years Of age he had slipped into bad company,
who led him into all sorts Of vice.
As years passed on he became a burglar, and
in company with man named Gallagher, also
thief, he managed to burglarizs two houses.
The first house that "Sippery" slipped into, in
company with his pal, was Mr.. Boyles grocery
store, at the corner Of Magazine and St. Joseph
streets.
The two night hawks were caught at this game,
and were out on bonds at the time they made
their second slippery move, which was into Mrs.
Bonford,s house, on Carondeles street, when,
before Slippery knew exactly what was up, he
and his friend Gallagher were in the hands OF
TWO POLICEMEN.
For this offence they were tried and convicted.
Gallagher when arrested was found to be armed
with dangerous weapon, and was sentenced to
the penitentiary for life. Slippery was only
found guilty of burglary and sentenced to four
teen years. He was on the steamer Yazoo VAL
ley en- route to his place of punishment when he
committed the most slippery act OF his life, which
was in giving the deputy sheriff the "slp'' by
removing the shackles from his feet, and then
with q thirty foot jump he landed into the water
from the hurricane deck of the Yazoo Valley.
The desperate youth, as soon as he struck the
water, although as turbulent as could be towards
him, tried to reach the shore, but fate seemed
against him, and he had not succeeded in
slipping the handouts from his wrists, the river
was, in every way. his master; and he, realizing
the agonizng situation, made one desperate effort
to reach the rivers bank, and not succeeding
submitted to his lot, and quietly "slpped" into
eternity.

ARREST OF TWO DUELIsrs.

As 1T was Thought They Were About to
Shed Each Others Blood.
Monday evening it was currently reported that
two parties had arrived in this city from Assump-
ton parish. for the purpose ct fighting a duel.
The police authorities, having heard of the affair,
started to investigate the matter and found the
two men alluded to we're E. L. Weber, an ex-Rad-
ical Senator, and Felix Reynaud.
Orders were immediately issued for their ar
rest, and Chief Malone and Special Hennessey
succeeded in capturing Reynaud Monday night.
Weber succeeded IN evading arrest until this
morning. when he was taken into custody by
Special Hennessey.
The two accused were arraigned bsfore Judge
Smith. who discharged them on the grounds
that they had been arrested in Assumption par-
ish and placed under bonds in that parish to
keep the peace of the State OF Louisians. It is
thought that the two duelists are on their way
to Mississippi to settle matters, as Weber was
about to leave on the train when made pris-

AN ELOPENIENT.

The gossips of the lower part of the city are
very busy just now over a case OF elopement,
which happened recently in that quarter. The
affair is deprived Of much Of its romance, in fact,
it partakes of the sombre drama, for the man is
said to have a wife and several children. The
lady is unmarried. young and handsome, and
bears one Of the oldest names in the State.
The gossippers have thus far failed to discover
the whereabouts of the truant couple.

When the starter let go his revolver all oars
were ready for the dip, and the echo had hardly

efforts produce the desired result. Il did at that

and increasing the gap at the mile stakes to four
lengths. The Riversides two or three times at
tempted to close this gap, and nearly succeeded
once, compelling the Hopes to pull for dear life
to keep their position.
Both crews meant business then, knowing
that there was, so to speak, oceans OF money de-
pending upon them.
