At the residence of Mr.. A. Drey fus,
corner of Crescent Place and Missis-
sippi street, an accident occurred
Monday night which nearly cost Mr..
Dreyfus' son Jesse his life and came
within an ace of setting fire to the
house. The lad accidentally knocked
from the dining room table a lamp
filed with puroline oil. The lamp
broke and the oil ignited, creating a
blaze that reached almost to the cell
ing, but which was soon extinguished.
Jesse's garments were spattered with
burning fluid and he ran shrieking
into the yard, where the colored ser
want girl had the presence of mind to
seize him and roll him on the ground
until the fire was out. He was very
fortunate TO escape with severe but
not dangerous burns upon his face
and hands, from which he is rapidly
recovering.

SHOOTING AFFRAY AT THE JAIL
A rifle of excitement was caused in
town, last Sunday evening, by a
shooting affair, the circumstances of
which were peculiar. Deputy Sheriff
Israel had occasion to arrest Mr.. r.
S. Smith for alleged disorderly and
violent conduct at the coffee house
corner of Mississippi and Lessard
streets. Mr.. Smith, who was under
the influence of liquor, became very
violent after being locked up, and
repeatedly threatened to kill the Off
Ger who arrested him, Constable St.
Martin, acting as jailor at the time,
and Depaty Sheriff Louis Lefort, the
Jailor proper. After Mr.. Smith had
been incarcerated a short time, an
order for his release was obtained
from Mayor Duffel by Mr.. Richard
Fletcher, who presented the order at
the Jail. The prisoner was still bois-
ferrous, continuing to declare that the
moment he obtained his liberty he
intended to kill the. three officers be-
fore mentioned. Lefort and st. Mar.
tin expostulated with him to no effect
save to increase his rage. Constable
st. Martin unlocked the door of the
cell III which Smith was confined, and
as the latter stepped into the passage
way he was fred upon by Lefort, who
was standing iu the door of the Jail
or's room, about fifteen feet distant.
The weapon used was Smith & Yves
son five shooter, and the ball passed
very close TO Smiths right hip, tear
ing holes in his pantaloons and coat
skirt, and barking one of the knuckles
of his right hand. Mr.. Fletcher, who

bic st. Martin picked it up; taking a

ing. Meanwhile, Fletcher had gone
into the yard ard picked up the pis-
tolls, returning to find the door closed,
Lefort standing behind it with shot
gun. After brief parley, Fletcher
proceeded to Mitchell's stables in com.
pany with Smith, for the purpose of
.rocuring a buggy to take his friend
nut of town. Lefort went to his house
ear the stables, fired the charges of
mall shot from his gun and reloaded
| t with buckshot, and then started to
eturn to the Jail. Seeing St. Martin
| It Mitchell's corner, however, he
vent there, and upon perceiving
Fletcher, demanded of him the re-
urn of the revolvers taken from the
ail. Fletcher replied that the weap-
ms were in the Mayors possession !;
hen he called upon st. Martin to ar
| est Lefort for parading the streets
| 18th a gun. Lefort therenpon aimed
is weapon at Fletcher, threatening
shoot if any attempt was made to
AXE away his gun. Lefort shortly
thereafter walked off, Fletcher and
'mith went up the river in their bug
Iiy, and the large crowd attracted to
he scene of disturbance gradually
dispersed. Next day Fletcher made
kffidavit against Lefort and ST. Mar
in for shooting at Smith with intent
TO kill, st. Martin being charged as
hccessory. The parties furnished APP
9earance bonds, and the case was
ixed for examination Tuesday, but
bhe Parish Judge subsequently, re-
assigned it for Friday. Accused aud
witnesses were on hand at the Court
House yesterday, but Lefort's counsel
Ind the District Attorney pro tenn.
were both absent, in consequence OF
which the examination was contin-
led indefinitely.
This unfortunate affray arose from
those fruitful causes of nine-tenths OF
such occurrences the use of intoxi-
Eating liquors aud the lack of law
prohibiting their sale on Sundays
The principals have always been on
friendly terms. In his sober senses
Mr.. Smith would not have uttered
his rash and improbable threats in
his right mind our efficient Jailol
would have attached little, if any,
weight to those threats, and would
certainly not lave deemed it neces-
sary 10 the protection of his own life
to fire upon al intoxicated, unarmed
man. Louis thinks he was sober, but
for the reason inst assigned, combined
with other circumstances, we believe
differently. We understand that
Messrs. SmitI and Lefort have ex-
changed regrts relative to their re-
spective parish the affair.

SUGAR SQUIBS.-The finest speci-
men of new sugar we have yet seen
this season is a lump sent to US by
Mr.. j. Adlard Brand, Jr., being a
sample of the product of his cane,
manufactured at the splendid Brin-
gier mill. The color and grain are
very fine, aud we do not remember to
have ever seen better quality of
sugar made by centrifugal process.
Messrs. Loeb g. Drake, lessees of
the Stella plantation, claim to be
making open kettle sugar of a quality
unexcelled by any other manufac-
tured in the parish. A sample has
been exhibited to us, and it is GER
tainly hard to beat. The yield has
also proven very satisfactory, from
II to i bogsheads per acre being the
general average. Two hogsheads per
acre were obtained from q small tract
of plant cane.
Mr.. John T. Nolan, Jr., is making
from 1t to II hogsheads per acre of
all excellent quality of sugar, en-
ploying the centrifugal process. He
used open kettles prior to the present
season.
Accidents to sugar house machinery
at the Wallis and Teller places, be-
low town, have caused a temporary
suspension of rolling operations.
Rolling was begun on Mr.. John
Reuss' Germania place this week.
The clear and cool weather now
prevailing facilitates cane hauling and
sugar-house work, besides increasing
the yield of sugar.

While looking over some old pa
pers recently, Deputy Sheriff Lefort,
keeper of the parish Jail, discovered a
memorandum of the fact that in June,
1876, an officer from Iberville parish
who came here in search of two white
law breakers, also inquired for infor-
nation of Alex. Madison, colored,
charged with breaking into DR..
Stones meat-house and stealing l60
pounds of pork, 100 pounds of sugar
and halfa box of tobacco therefrom.
1t at once flashed across the jailor's
mirAi that he had the missing bird in
his cage, and he sent word to this eff
feet to the Sheriff of Iberyille, who
dispatched a deputy to investigate
the matter. This officer has recog-
nized the Iberville thief in the person
of the Alex. Madison confined here
on the charge of burglarizing Mr..
A. Barthelmy's gun shop. Alex is
wanted by our neighbors up the river,
but as he stands committed for trial
before our District Court, we doubt if
the claim can be recognized before
the Ascension case is disposed of.

Col. Dan Rice put in an appearance
wit: his circus on Monday, according
to advertisement, and q performance
took place at night, on the public
square. Owing, doubtless, to the wet
weather, the attendance was not so
large as it would otherwise have been,
and for the same reason the ring was
in such poor condition thata number
one display was impossible. Further
more, Dan Rice had been called to
New Orleans on business, and his alb
sence deprived the show of one of its

visit Donaldsonville in few weeks,

ditions, to present his moral aud in

turning last night, started down the
