At half-past o'clock Sunday evening CAPT..
Gill discovered smoke issuing from the double
one-story frame house Nos. 1O9 and lo'1s

Chippewa. He attempted to force the door,
but failed In accomplishing bis purpose.
In the meantime the officer on the beat
rushed to box 1s for the purpose OF turning
the alarm into the hall, but owing to the lock
being out of order, and not wishing to break
the box, he ran to the Sixth Precinct Station
and had the operator to notify the operator
at the City Hall to sound the alarm as coming
from box 16. Owing to the fact that this box
was out of order, the fire gained considerable
headway before the fire department arrived

YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AT THE
LAKE.

March, with It's proverbial clustering winds,
seemed yesterday to have softened its heart
towards us. and Sunday dawned as beautiful
as the budding Of rose. The air was balmy,
the sky without cloud, and the temperature
Just suited to the most fastidious taste. 1t
was one OF those days when one feels like q
rollicking gallop over fields afiame with the
first spring flowers. or a jaunt in the woods
where he can "halloo' out some Of Lis super
fiuous vitality.
The people OF the city felt 1t. and early In
the afternoon the Canal street cars were
crowded with passengers bound for the New
Lake End. The trip was q delightful one.
After Metairie Ridge had been passed either
side OF the track was almost snow-crusted
with the white blossoms OF the dew and black
berry, whilst the trees were all OF them In
their new spring suits OF verdure. There was
freshness in the aromatic air and bright
ness In the sunshine that made the afternoon
all the more enjoyable. Once at the lake the
pleasant sensations we're not disturbed. Not
the skimming OF fish broke the mirror-like
surface OF the water.
A haze prevented the line Of the horizon
from being discerned, and distant schooners
DeCdlueu, lay uk6 phiHLcu SInpo .upoh a
painted ocean," seemingly hung In midair.
The shore line, with It's stretch OF moss,
festooned Expresses and marsh prairies, soft
ened by the thin mist, melted away In the
distance, until one could and then could moi
tell where the line OF vision ended. A stray
pelican crossed, going to his nights rest, but
save this the landscape looking towards the
west from the Southern Yacht Club House
was not marked by any moving object.
As the sun slid slowly down behind clumI
Of Expresses, miles off toward Manchac, tht
trees seemed to stand out In bold relief against
the bright red disk. Each minute brought
newer tints to the woods, the lake and the
marsh grasses; and when old Sol gave his last
wink and went to sleep, pearly haze covered
his point OF departure. Above this ther'
blushed gauze Of mist as soft as the menor!
OF half remembered dream, whilst higher
warm yellow painted the sky.
i As twilight came stealing down from Man
chac, the shades grew more sombre, and a.
u the evening star peeped out, the picture be
came, like the old masterpieces, dimmed, AM
details we're gone.
The long string Of people wended their wa,
towards the cars, and a delightful Afternoon
was ended.

GIOver's Explanation.

inquired OF Secretary McCrary whether the
records OF the War Department sustained the
charge which has been circulated that while
colonel of the Third Missouri cavalry. he
drew pay twice for the same month, which
has replied that there is no evidence to sus-
tain this charge, and that 1t appears to be
wholly groundless. Glover has also received
letters from Britt the witness whom he was
accused Of assaultiDg when on the witness

present at the time cont radicting this story.
Glover says he designed to have all these
letters read in personal explanation to the

Democracy than Of their opponents tnat
there should be an honest ballot and correct
cratic by large maiorities with hardly an ex-
oeption. The Republican States are kepub-
lican by very slim majorities, as witness
Ohio. Pennsylvania, Illinois, California and
Wisconsin. A little judicious cheating mas
saved each OF the States to the Republican
party more than once. Its, therefore, to our
interest that these polls should be
watched but better than that 1t Is fair and
consequently right that they should pc. we
propose therefore, that the supervisor law

courts In cities of over 10000 Inhabitants shall
be required to appoint one supervisor for each
poll from each OF the two leading political
parties, or from each party having full
ticket In the field, and an organization sup
porting it, who shall have the right merely tc

HAvERLEY's HOSTS.

J.H. Haverley, who has nine shows on the
road, owns two theatres, two coal yards and
part Of two American lake steamers, presented
his gigantic minstrel combination to New
Orleans public last evening at the Academy
OF Music. The house was crowded. The
show which contains really forty performers,
is evidently composed of the very best negro
minstrel singers, dancers, banjoists and
sketch performers that could be found In the
country. Their success last evening was COM
plete, and secures for them continued patron-
age during their entire engagement During
the week we shall endeavor to be more par
ticular concerning the individual merits OF
the company. Asa whole they are immense,
and deserve all the applause and the recalls
their selections provoked on their first ap-
r,aaranpe.

The light was bright but the wind very
