THE MAIN LAST NIGHT.
SEVEN FrGHTs- BIG MONEY TO NE
wAGERED TO-DAY.

There were about four hundred people
present at the cock pit last evening 10 witness
the third seven fights OF the grand main.
Before the respective cocks were pitted, the
bets were In favor of the Georgia cocks, as
those who seemed to know most about them
favored the shawlnecks.
THE FIRST FIGHT
was between brown breasted red on the part
Of Georgia and dark red for Kentucky. The
battle was short one. and after few
shufIies the. Kentucky bird killed his adver-
sary.
THE SECOND FIGHT
was between two five pound five ounce cocks,
the Kentucky side showing up a dark red
and Georgia deep red. AT the fret flutter
his own way. aud IN sixteen seconds he killed
his cock and scored tctory for his State.
THE THIRD FIGHT
was between a shawl-neck on the part or
Georgia and red for Kentucky. At the first
ny Georgia killed his cock In three seconds.
FOURTH FIGHT.
Kentucky showed dark red and Georgia
a game looking chicken black -hrnastad
Georgia after four rounds won. killing his
bird In nine minutes nicely.
FIFTH FIGHT
When they pitted their birds Georgia
showed q black-breasted red, which looked n
most spirited cock, and Kentucky dark red.
At the third fly Kentucky received blow In
the shoulder, penetrating the lungs, which
laid him out, and Georgia won the fight In
eleven minutes.
THE SIXTH FIGHT
was good one. Georgia showed up shawl
neck light red md Kentucky dark red. In
thirty-tive seconds the Kentucky cock was
dead In the pit and the Georgians sent up
cheers over the victory.
THE SEVENTH FIGHT
was, on the part of Kentucky, q gray don't
nick, and for Georgia black breasted gray.
They got to work at once, and the shuiIling
blows Of the Georgia cock told at once on his
opponent. When they were pitted the sec
ond time, II was evident that the Kentucky
cock was gone and bets Of FIVE TO three and
five to two were freely offered without being
taken. With double shuttle the Georgia
cock put quietus on Kentucky and won the
battle.
Az the main now stands, Georgia has won
seven fights to kentucky VS. six. Large money

THE FOURTH OF MARCH.

On the fourth Of March our firemen will
show their strength and efficiency. They are,
like our military, an indispensable necessity,
and our people need no argument for convic-
ton of the fact; but we venture to say that
the day Fourth of March, will be celebrated
In grand style, and will bring out on Canal
street and on the route of the procession
more of citizens and the fair sex than any
other occasion can bring forth. We see that
the marshals of the various companies are
actively engaged in preparing for the enter
tainment of the various companies. Louisi-
ana Fire Company No. 10 will have banquet
at GrunewaId Hail. to be followed by a COM
plimentary ball.

A DANGEROUS NUISANCE.

The car starters station erected on the
neutral ground OF Canal street, north side,
opposite Clay Statue, is not only an UNI
seemly construction, but Is a very dangerous
affair. Owing to its situation 1t entirely shuts
the view to the cars that come up Canal
street, until the pedestrian Ia imme-
diately under the head Of the driving
mule, and Is, therefore, liable to cause
serious accidents. Already several com
plants have been made against this sta
ton, which, like others of a similar kind
have no business on the neutral ground. We
therefore ask Administrator Houston to
cause the removal of the eyesore and danger

Our ever welcome friend. Norman q. Jones,
left yesterday morning for Houston. Texas,
where his headquarters, az general traffic
agent of the entire South for the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy Railroad. are esteb-
lished. His friends and patrons may. how
ever, expect him soon again-and frequently
In New Orleans, where he has earned for him
self In the past popularity which could
be acquired only by intelligence activity,
keen perception and judgment, aud
that affability and amiability which
distinguishes the truly business man. A
glance at the official railroad guide and map
reveals the Importance of our friend Jones'
mission to the South. For we find that the
Burlington and Quincy Railroad runs or
operates over 1000 miles of tirst-class steel
railways. that spread out In all directions like
n SPIDERS web, through the most fertile and
thiokly populated sections Of the great North
waet. The road has three main trunks one
extending towards the Pacific az far as
Omaha, there connecting with the Pacific
Railroad system: another extends towards
Texas as far ~ H hannibal. connecting at that
point with the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
Railway. which passes through the beautiful
and romantic Indian Territory and connecting
at Dennison In a friendly interchange with the
Houston and Texas Central Railway. which Is
the main commercial artery uf this young and
tlourisbing empire, whose resources, al
though she Ia yet In her infancy, prov okes
the admiration II not the envy Of the Old and
New Worlds. The third trunk extends down
the Mississippi valley as far as st, Louis, ut
the practical head OF navigation Of the Mis-
sissippi river. and there connects with the
railroad system Of the South Atlantic and
Eastern Gulf States In the Union depot at st.
Louis, and also through improved grain and
package elevators with powerful steamboat
and barge fleets plying between that city aud
New Orleans, defying competition both
in point of comfort of passengers, econ
omy. of freight and rapdity of transit,
matters u.on which the CONNER cial
strength ana prosperity Of New Orleans de-
pend 10 such great extent. These three
trunk lines, with innumerable approaches
from all points Of the compass come together
before entering Chicago. forming one grand
trunk line. which connects In It's turn with
the various trunk lines leading to the cities of
the Atlantic seahoard, the manufacturing
districts of New England, and also through
steam elevators with the extensive lake
steam and sail crafts. The trunk lines alone
compass the States of Missouri, Illinois, Wis
consin, Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska, from
st. Louis to Chicago, st. Paul and Omaha,
its ramifications reaching besides every
point Of the continent accessible by rail or
water. the whole forming the most complete
and extensive combination Of our railroad

W. l.. Pope. whom nobody knows and

make you believe that he was the very aun-
tescence Of honor, he is In reality, 1t Is said,
a most notorious villain.
Now II was with these manners and this
oily tongue that he got Dir. Harris so wrap
ped up In him that the latter took him to
room with him.
During the epidemic DR.. Harris went into
the country and as he worked nohly he was
presented with gold watch and chain This
was not oil that Or. Harris had In the way Of

pair Of sleeve buttons valued ut $500. This
jewelry was elegant, and Pope Is said to have
made up his mind that he must have them.
by fair or foul means.
He had the desire TO take them but not the
courage to put the desire into execution, for
every time that he made up his mind to take
them he saw the Penitentiary 10 the distance,
aud the gates, as they stood open, seemed
just yawnng for him 80 he conceived the
idea to have n man to do the stealing. He no
sooner thought Of this plan than no put the
same into execution. But the fellow he hired
went back on him. for he went to DIR. Harris
and told him the whole circumstances
The man. after relating the circumstances,
said, doctor. suppose you think am ly-
ing but TO show you that | am not, will re-
late to you the conversation between Pope
and myself. He said to me- that you had n
fine gold watch and chain that had been
given you during the epidemic, also fine
pair Of sleeve buttons, worth $500: also dia-
mond stud. He also gave me a diagram Of
the house. and also OF your room. and where
you placed these things when you went TO

TIvOLu CIRCLE.

The matter OF the dumping of offensive
matter In Tlvoli Circle lice Place. has, we are
informed by Administrator Houston, been
stopped. This matter, II will be remembered,
was complained Of to the Administrators q
day or two ago but as he had nothing to do
with IT further than to permit the contractor
for filling the Place to take the street scrap
ings for the purpose, referred the complain
ant to DR.. Chopin, the President of the
Board of Health The decision OF that Off
cial was adverse tn the dumping of street
stuff In the Circle. hence It's stoppage.
