On Saturday night a fire occurr-

ing in real estate alone, as much as
$4,000 at the lowest estimate.
The fire originated in the back por-
ton of VIM. Finders furniture store,
and communicating with the store
house on each side soon made a
grand blaze. The property entire
" consumed, is as follows: The dry
goods establishment offs. G. Drey-
fuss and +. Moch, and the turni-
ture stock of VIM. Enders. The
fire department made the most he
role endeav0rs to avert the i'm
pending catastrophe, but with a
scarcity of water and a seemingly
general arrangement of the force,
efforts were unavailing. This
morning, at about the hour oftive,
the alarm Of fire was again sound
ed, on it's being decOvered that the
flames, thought to be subdued, had
been reilluminated. The alarm
repeated itself at intervals of ev-
cry fifteen or twenty minutes, and
finally at about seven o'clock, Cad

which at first threatened to COM
municate with the stock of j. b.
Lewis boot and shoe store, which
had been exposed to the fire by
the caving in of the roof from on
top. The want of water for the Oc
casion operated very seriously
againt the department, and under
the circumstances, our fremen de-
serve the highest of praise. Loss

ONE HUNDRED TO GO.
THE ELECTION ARRESTS.
The Grand Jury Hard at DIRK.
IN. @. Times. |

a Times reporter yesterday spent
an entire morning at the statchousc
to ascertain whether any Of the re
cent reports from Red river had
reached the State executive, and
whether any steps had been taken 10y
the State authorities to MAINTAIN the
supremacy of the law.
If any information has been recelv-
ed at executive headquarters from the
country parishes, he has been unalle
to CLEAN the fact. and failing to ob
tain any intelligence from this source
the reporter was compelled t" seek
other linton n'antS, upon whose res.
possibility he places confidence.
1t appears that the federal grand
jury has devoted the past week t" II
careful investigation Of the manage.
ln-ut of the recent election III the
parishes of Caddo, Bossicr and De-
Soto.
1t is shown that at Il ma "rIty OF
polls in these parishes, not "n;. the
federal laws. but those of the last
legislature have been utterly violated.
1t is confidently asserted that from
the testimony last week elected, oven
one hundred indictments have been
found against citizens Of the parishes
named for violation of the election
laws, both of the State and the Unit
cd States.
The reporter is authoritativcly in
formed that a number of deputy mar
Sha)s left the city on Saturday even
in. to make arrests under the lndlct'
mrnts found. He, nevertheless, wa:
unable to- discover a single Officer
connected with the State govcrnmen
in any informed concerning tl''
matter, and no one who has any
knowledge excepting what he CLEAN
ed from the Times Of the capture o
two witnesses on board the steame
Dundee and their removal from that
boat and ultimate fate.
The impression among federal Of
fcials yesterday was that if any re
sistance to the DEGREES of the United
States court were offered that resist
ance would be manifest in the cours'
of very few days: but apprehension
were in a measure dissipated by
telegram received by Marshal Whar
rom Yesterday. to the effect that on,
of his deputies with a batch of wit
ncSScS were on their way to this city
and that as yet their passage ha'
been unohStructed.

The anniversary Of the brit, of the
Savior of mankind was ushered in
here with the usual "glorious pomp
and circumstance of egg.nog and
big DRINKS.
In fact the indications were on
Monday and Tuesday, if drunk as a
billed owl is any indication, that the
ChriStmay of 1873 was to be some
thing outside the usual. Early Mon
day the fun began. Our Front street
for more than a mile was one "block
and JAM of men, women, wagons,
mules and oxen. Humanity of all
sexes, ages, conditions and quality
piled into all manner of business
houses from Ellen's Coffee Bazarr of
the palatial Front streets dry goods
emporiums. All we're bent on pre-
pairing for Christmas. White men
black men, yellow men. and women
of these various shades, drummed,
called, talked and vocitera ed, which
made din for hours worse than
pandemonium. Preparing for Christ
mas is n vague term. At least the
preparation assumes many shapes, and
it seems that what's fun for one pre-
parer is poison to another. Permeat.
ing the mass, seeking for toys and all
those little pleasant things we buy to
make happiness in the households on
Christmas morning, is the number
getting drunk by way of preparation.
On Monday they were few in num-
be1s, but by Tuesday night, the eve
of Christmas, "hell had broke loose"
or nearly. Whoops and yels rent
f the air, and every secluded corner
! had it's lcvOtee, overloaded with the
juices of Christmas, calmly waiting to
, get sober or freeze to death. From
the serene conntenances of these "vic
Tins they didn't seem to care which
, melancholy fate overlook them.
We have seen men drunk IN oul
livcs-in fact been drunk ourselves
, and in the last state, with all the

once before. The consequence wa!

Ten Days Mt Sea on a Raft.

NEW YORK, May 22-Monday, February
II, was dark rainy day in the South Allan
tic ocean, and the schooner Carrie Long, of
Stockton, Maine, on her voyage from Buenos
Ayres to New York had reached a point just
south Of the equator, and about 200 miles
from the Brazilian coast, when the lookout
discovered man on frail raft followed bv a
school of sharks. He was picked up and said
that his name was Manuel Francisco, and
that he had been at sea for ten days when res
cued.
Originally there We're three on the raft,
but one had been washed overheard and de-
voured by sharks before his eyes, before they
were two days out. The second died from
exhaustion on the fourth day. He threw his
body to the sharks, thinking in that way to
cause them to quit following the raft, but
after they had torn his cOmrade to fragments
they only followed him the more intently.
He dared not sleep for fear of walking off the
raft into their open jaws.
His supply of water gave out on the sixth
day, and thirst was added to the loss of
sleep. His only food was bread, which had
become musty from long confinement in a
kerosene can, and the eating of which only
added to his thirst without satisfying his
hunger and his sufferngs became so intense
that he was about to cast himself to the
sharks, when the Carrie Long hove in sight
francisco and companions were escaped con-
vlcts from the Brazilian penal island of Fer
nando Noronha. He was committed for a
small theft, and escaped ON the raft after
serving three years.

The National Democratic 0lnmIttee-Ths
Address to the Country.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-At the meeting Of
the Democratic National Committee this
morning twenty members were pres
ent The session lasted nearly an hour. and
adjourned to meet again at o'clock to-mor-
row morning, in order to permit members of
Congress who are members of the committee
to be present.
At the meeting this morning the question
of issuing an address to the country was
favorably discussed. and will probably be
disposed Of at the meeting tomorrow 1t
was generally conceded by those who took
part In the discussion to-day that the Demo-
cratic executive committee having announced
to the country shortly after the conclusion of
the late presidential election that the Demo-
cratic candidates for President and Vice
President were, in their judgment, duly
elected. but deprived of their rights by fraud,
it was the duty of the national committee to
rciterate that declaration and recite the acts
of fraud that operated to gives the offices of
President and Vice President to the present
incumbents.
The address will also state how the party
will proceed under the Potter resolution The
general opinion is that the address will de-
clare that 1t Is not the intention of the Demo-
cratic party to contest the title of President
Hayes, but simply to expose to the judgment
of the people the frauds by which, it is al
legged, he obtained his office. The indications
are that the sessions of the committee will
last several days
