the corner Of Customhouse and Burgundy
streets, between white man named joe an
cook, o negro named Gaspard, which termi-

about the head with bar room tunnblers, by
the empioye Joe, that bis lifs is despaired OF.
A reporter Of the DEMOCRAT visited the
scene of the difficulty and CLEANED the follow

It appears Raphael was absent from the
establishment, and the man Joe was playing

the habit OF coming to his work under the In
fluence Of liquor, and yesterday was not an
exception to his rule
At about o'clock customer ordered some
trout, and Joe ordered Gaspard TO prepare the
fish. When the cook announced the fish
ready, Joe entered the kitchen and found that
the fish had been burnt to such an extent that
1t was not fit to be eaten.
Joe demonstrated with Gaspard for bis
negligence, and the latter becoming angry
allowed that he would not be bossed by any
one but Joe Raphael, and seizing o cleaver
chased Joe out OF the kitchen into the hall
leading TO the bar-roorn Here. Joe
seized IL glass, and hurting it at
Gaspard, brought bis man to earth.
Joe then armed himself with two more tum-
bers and, jumping upon his vanqnlshed foe,
beat him numerically. Some Of the bystand-
ers pulled joe off of Gaspard and took the lat

They Favor the Demaerat with Some OF
Their Impressions.

Last night representative Of the DEsIo-
CRAT had the pleasure f cOngersing with
some OF the gentlemen composing IN, the party
OF editors from indiana, arrived on Saturday,
and who have oil registered their names at

remarked that for politeness aud uibanity
towards strangers its inhabitants have no

the Bayou St. John, which, they Observed Is
remarkable for It's picturesque scenery, the
beauty and excellent location OF the priYatH
| residences and gardens in its vicinity The
| rifle parks and boat houses also attracted
| their attention.
A number Of our Indiana visitors went
| through the French market during the busy
hours Of yesterday morning. They were as
| tmished ut the number of persons and were
struck at the great variety and profusioh of
| the articles exposed for sale. Everything iss0

gnr and take drink in the bargain, and still

wife, from hair-pin toa silk dress.
| These gentlemen asked several questions
about this city the number Of its Inhabitants,
the rate OF taxation, the improvements already
done Or contemplated, and one f them re-
marked that the gas used for lighting the
streets seemed to be of very poor quality.
The Returning Board question interests
them, and they will call at the Superior Grim

in that case.
Our visitors speak In high praise Of Coy.

Among other general topics they mentioned

boulevard OF the United States for the ele-
ganes Of it's houses, stores and public build

The reporter withdrew, highly pleased with
the courteous manners and bearing OF the
gentlemen from Indiana.

Barrel-HOuse ROw-During which .
Man Is stabbed and MOrtaily
HVOnnhed

Barrel-house! The very name brings be-
fore the mind whisky, drunkenness, vice and
crime of every description, and sometimes
these dens are the scenes of the most terrible
MURDERS and such was the case at half-paat
o'clock Sunday morning at the el-hCt sc
kept by one Williams, in which
BLOODY AFFRAY
occurred between two white men named q 90
Eckert and Geo. Davis, which culmina ted in
Eckert drawing a large clasp knife and utt ng
Davis three times about the head, nd also
cutting large piece of flesh out OF his left
shoulder.
A DEMOCRAT reporter repaired to the scene
Of the stabbing, and CLEANED the following par
uculars 1t appears Eckert was playing a
game OF seven-up with three other persons,
and Davis was standing by his side looking
INTO HIS HAND.
Toward the close of the game Davis
changed his position, and took stand by the
winner. This forced Eckert, as he held q
good hand, to believe that Davis had sold
him out, and, rising to his feet, he said :
Davis, Cd d-n you, you have given my
hand away, and by Cd, | will go to the
Penitentiary for YOU With this re-
mark the accused moved on his man and
made pass at him. Davis retaliated, and as
he did SO Eckert ran into him and cut him as
above stated. After committing the bloody
deed, the accused broke out of the room and
started as fast as his legs would permit to
make his escape, but Officer Quinn, with
limbs as true as STEEL started after the fugi-
tive, whom he succeeded in arresting at the
corner Of ITALIA and Tchoupitoulas streets.

NEW YeRH, Jan. 2T.-Henry Ward Beeeher.
this morning previous to his sermon. said he
had been subjected TO angry criticism on ac-
count of reports of his, sermons, that were
grossly wrong. He alluded to his bread and Nc
said that his sermons were printed I'm his paper
just as they were delivered, and in most gases
without revision by him Mr.. Beeeher said that
the reporters Of the New York dailies had not
had long theological training.
He did not care for himself. but one OF the
baleful effects of reporters eondensing SER
mons was that the eonscenees of good men
were disturbed, particularly editors of religious
papers. In closing. Mr.. Beecher said he did
not claim to represent any danomi nation. and
no one but himself was responsible for what
he said.
It is a noteworthy fact that reporters. when
a hell sermon was preached, each made the
same mistake that Mr.. Beecher complains OF.
although the reporters sat In different parts OF
the church, and had no conversation with one
another.
