STATE POLITICS.

Mr n. O. Blanchard is suggested by cor
respondent Of the Shreveport Standard for
Judge of the Caddo district.
Mr.. Thomas J. Butler has been nominated
by the Democrats Of Benville as their candi-
date for the Legislature.
The Republicans Of Madison have made
the following nominations: For sheriff, L. z.
Coates; for clerk, w. r. J. Clemens; for coro-
ner, DIR. Bozozowski. Pinchback and Bobe
were elected delegates to the State convention.
The sentiment here Is pretty generally
against the course taken by Mr.. Lusher. To
start out with, everybody knows the nomina-
tion OF Mr.. Fay was fairly and honestly made
and that Mr.. Lusher has no reason to com
plain beyond the fact that his own parish
fOrleans) refused to support him for the nom
nation. East Baton Rouge will give Fay her
solid Democratic vote.-lBato Rouge Advo-

Crushe d In an Elevator.

Yesterday while James Wright col.
ored waiter at the Clayton House, with
a curiosity peculiar to gents of his pro-
fession, was meditatively intent in con
sidering the metaphysical analogy of
cause and effect rs evnced in the me.
chanical operation OF the new elevator,
he was unfortunate as to get his head
caught between the elevator proper and
the partition. The position was an EN-.
barrassing one to James The machine
had him fast, SO fast in fact that he
could feel the bones crushing beneath
the pressure. The effect was such a
practical one that the relative philO
sophical consider alton which cause had
in the matter was wholly lost sight oil
in the more pressing question how to
get his head out without scraping oil
the scalp. Fortunately James had hold
of the rope which operated the machine,
and as the machine squeezed his cran-
ium he unconsciously olntched tighter
to the rope which unconscious action
had the effect of stopping the progress
of the elevator. When taken ont James
was in a serious plight, and owing to
the lop sided appearance sf his head it
was thought that the injuries would
prove fatal. DR.. Blocksom was called
in and examined the wounds and found
the injuries to consist of several scalp
ahrasions and few cuts under the
jaw. James knowltdge in relation to
the mod0s operandi of machinery in gen
eral, and the Clayton House Elevator
in particular, has been materially
strengthened.
