THE PIPER COMBINATION AT
ORANGE GROVE

This delightful retreat was enlivened last
Sunday by q complimentary fete champetre
given by the society to their friends The
music was afforded by an amateur brass
band, the performers being mere youths, led
by Mr.. George Lacaze. They played charm
ingly and added to the pleasures OF the en-
tertainment by their beautiful music. Beauty
and fashion graced the fete. The gentlemen
on entering the grove were presented with
satin badge, which was at once attached to
the lapel Of their coats, and the ladies' with
their bouquets, dressed and draped with good
taste In airy muSltnS. reminded US OF Hover
show. Before shutdown two young gentlemen,
Mr. a. f. Michel and j. Grinage, members OF
the society, performed on the tTHptle, taettit-
Ing the most daring and graceful feats, not to
be surpassed even by professionals. The air
was biImy. and as the shades OF night APP
preached, the grounds were lighted up with
torches admirably placed 50 as to reflect
orange trees, laden with their juicy fruit. 1t
was delightful and enjoyable entertainment.
Great praise Is due to the gOod-looklng presi-
dent, Mr. Charley Piper, who, aided by Mr..
knapp, the vice president, ami the stewards,
Messrs Sesmen Brink, Stanley, Scott and
Gill, achieved thorough success by their ex-
cellent management. The young people
"trippcd 1t on the light fantastic toe until
the wea hours Of tho morning. Good humor
and hilarity prevailed, and when the party
broke up all united in hearty good wishes for
the success and prosperity Oh the Piper Com

CROWNER's QUEST.
Of the Clarke-Re1lley
Homicide Statements of
Witnesses.

Last evening Deputy Coroner Cain re-
sumed the inquest In the case OF the killing OF
the woman Celestine Kelley, who was shot
and killed at the Dixie saloon by Turnkey
Thos. Clarke, on the night OF the eighth OF Au-
gust. The following is the testimony elected
STATEMENT OF CAPT. ZACH. BACHEMIN.
! was Informed that woman had been
shot went to the place and finding she was
wounded placed her In carriage, and was on
the way with her to the hospital when she
died. / then brought her body to the station.
When Clarke was arrested took himinto my
private office and he asked me how the woman
was, and ] replied she was dead. He then
threw up both hands and exclaimed, my
God, | did not intend to Kill her, AID then
requested me to put him In a cell.
cIAs. GREEN.
On the evening Of the eighth Clarke and the
deceased came to my saloon. / was In the
yard. He came there and asked me for two
cups of coffee. told him that had no coffee,
because my cook had gone home. ne then
ordered drinks; after talking about fifteen
or twenty minutes they ordered drinks again.
When / had served them three or four
drinks heard pistol shot. | thought that
the pistol had accidentally exploded, for |
was standing with my back to Clarke, who
was facing the woman. Clarke retreated Q
few steps toward tho rear door, and when |
advanced toward the woman he went out OF
the front door. | called on several citizens to
arrest him, but they would not, and | sent
Mr.. Ferguson, one OF my boarders, to the
Fifth Precinct Station to notify the police.
JAMES REILLEY.
The deceased was the mother OF my chill
dren. Clarke for some time had been paying
his attentions to her, and | had been sepa-
rated from her fol about one month. Two or
three days before she was killed ! met her
with Clarke. Turning around, she said my
God, there is James Kelley" Clarke put his
hand behind his back and said, "lf he says q
q word / will kill the s OF 81 b--h.'
There being more witnesses to be examined,
Coroner Cain continued the inquest to Satur-
day evening at O'Clock.

ATTENTION POLICE!

Garbage Vessels to the Front.
There ID complaint that both the police and
housekeepers are becoming negligent In the
matter of attending to the vessels Ia which
garbage ts placed for removal by the city
CARTS This Is 20 important O matter that 1t
is proper to direct the attention Of both po-
lice and housekeepers to Ordinance No. 47S5,
which makes 1t the duty Of occupants Of
dwellings,, Offices. stores or buildings OF every
character to put Or cause 70 be put the ordi-
nary refuse, sweepiDgs. ashes, cinders and
kitchen otfal, and all other similar substances
into tubs, barrels or other suitable receptables,
to have the same placed on the outside Of the
bnnalett6s Immediately In front OF their
dwellings, offices or stores, convenient 70 be
taken off by the offal carts. The time fixed
for making such deposits Is not earlier than3
n M nor later than q. m, and the recepta-
cles must not be left on the banquettes later
than 10 a. M.
it IL made the duty Of the police, to enforce
this ordinance to make affldavltB before re-
corders having jurisdiction, against any and
all parties violating Il, and, II necessary, to
arrest them.
The execution Of this ordinance is abso-
Jutely essential to the cleanliness and health
fulnesB Of the city, and, as 1t Is o very simple
matter, there ought to be no use for the In
terference of the police. Inasmuch az 1t is
easy to drift into bad habits, and carelessness
seems to be chronic with some people, con-
slant vigilance is necessary.

SPANISH FORT.

What delightful evenings are now spent at
this attractive lake resort. Thousands Of our
people upon concert evenings hurry down to
the shore Of Lake Pontchartrain, and some
gather In groups under the gaily illummina-
ted trees, and enjoy the splendid music OF
Prof. Moses's band, while others saunter out
upon the long pier, which reaches far out into
the lake, seeming determined not to loose one
particle Of the fresh and lnvigorating breeze,
coming as 1t does, giving new life and vlgor
to lungs which miss it SO much in the city,
where high walls surround them and keep it
off.
Messrs. Schwartz Bros. deserve the thanks
OF the whole community for developing and
identifying the natural advantages OF this
delightful retreat, and we congratulate them
upon the success OF the great enterprise; for
within a very short time indeed the old
Spanish Fort has become the centre OF attrac-
ton to pleasure-seekers, and the magnitude
OF the travel over the Spanish Fort Railroad
has compelled these gentlemen to place q
large number of new cars upon the road to
accommodate the passengers.
The concert this evening, and those to take
place in the future, will begin promptly at
half-past 5 O'Clock.

ASSESSMENTS.

Now Is the Time to Correct Them.
The time for making corrections Of the as
sessments, city and State for the ensuing
year Is rapidly passing away, and property
owners or their agents should lose 40 time IN
calling to inspect the rolls at the City Hall,
where they are displayed to all parties inter-
estel. After the thlrty-tirst Of August 1t will
be too late to complain Of any over assess
ment, il any such there be. A glance at the
rolls yesterday revealed reduction on al
most all property, and it is estimated that the
total assessment will not exceed $aooooooo
d. against SllO,O00,o00 last year., There ar
very few, If any, complaints made, and the
belief IL general that the assessors have been
remarkably fair and discriminating, and have
made their figures TO represent as nearly as
possible the cash value Of properties. Inis 1s
d vast Improvement over some OF the regimes
post bellum, when the idea seemed to be to
make the assessments tally with the neces-
stiles Of administrations, in which vast sums
Of money were expended without correspond
ing benefit to the people. Those lavish old
regimes are now numbered with the very many
other costly Injuries OF a dead but once lively

Appointment of Commits

Appointment of Commissioners.
Yesterday Acting GOV. Witt appointed, on
the recommendation OF the Convention for
the Protection Of American Commerce, which
was held in this city December, 1873, three
commissioners, Charles G. johnson, John
Phelps and A. II. May.
This board Of commissioners is empowered
to inquire into all matters appertaining to
the Improvement Of the navigation OF the
Mississippi river and Its tributaries,
and Of the improvement Of their banks
so as to prevent overflow, and OF the
commerce Of the valley Of the Mississippi,
and 1t Is their duty to disseminate from time to
time through the press Or by address to the
public, or In any suitable way, such intelli-
gence among people 80 vitality Interested, as
to them may seem desirable, upon the sub
ject and also to collect and communicate all
such facts to Congress by way Of memorial OF
otherwise, for the purpose Of inducing that
body to make appropriations fol- the improve
mentB proposed.
No better men could have been selected for
the purpose than those selected by the Acting
Governor, and there is no doubt their labors
will result in practical benefit to the people Of
Louisiana and OF the great valley.

THE HABEAs CORPUS CASE.

Judge Rogers, OF the Fifth District Court
Yesterday rendered bis decision on the ap-
plication Of Mack Lawson for writ Of ha-
beas corpus.
Lawson was sentenced to the Parish Prison
for carrying concealed weapon, and as
ground for his application for the writ he al
legged that the sentence and commitment did
not define an offense known to the law.
The law defines the crime as carrying a
weapon concealed on the person. 10 passing
upon the case, Judge Rogers said:
Counsel has strenuously urged that the
prisoner should be set at liberty, because
there is no such offense as carrying concealed
weapons, and 30 clearly right - the proposl-
tiOn that 1t was admitted by the dlstrlct at
tOrney. and IL this was the only matter to be
considered the court would acquit the pris-
oner without hesitation.
He then went on to show, however, that the
court In reviewing the grounds for writ OF
habeas corpus could 60 behind the commit
ment In which errors might occur through
the neglect or incompetency Of clerk.
He found that the sentence was legally and
formally passed, after the legal prelimtnaries,
and continuing, he said:
The writ of habeds corpus can reverse no
Judgment. neither declare the null1ty 81 any
proceedings with the force OF judgment, and
with great force therefore do the authorities
any interference with the
judgments Of competent tribunals.
It appears that the prisoner was, in due
course OF law, convicted OF an offense against
the law Of Louisiana before court Of COM
petent Jurisdiction and the sentence was such
ID authorized by the statutes, and that he is
detained in the Parish Prison by virtue OF that
conviction and the sentence pronounced by

NUISANCE ABATED.

Those Of our population who 60 forth in
buggies and other light vehicles for rides Of
pleasure know the odor OF draining canal
afar off, and skillfully avoid the same. 1t has
been noticed. however, Of late, that there is a
very material abatement of these unpleasant
and unhealthy odors, and inquiry as to the
cause shows that the discontinuance of the
use OF the dumping grounds in the various
districts. and the general reform In the mat
ter Of dumping garbage about promlseuously
has wrought this most delightful and desira-
bic change. Formerly the seepage from the

THE NEW GARBAGE BOAT.

The steam tug Continental left the Canal
street ferry yesterday at 80 with Surveyor
Brown, and other officials, on board to wit
ness the launch of the new garbage boat,
which has just been finished over the river at
Freetown. The new boat is larger than the
two now in usa, and has several improve
ments which was suggested by the Depart
ment of Improvements and Surveyor Brown
She is much more substantially built, and Is
better suited in every way for the important
service for which she Is intended. Her cost
was about $780,
