Two MEN KILLED IN ST. LANDRY.
Says the Opslousas Democrat Of the
18th inst:
On Saturday last difficulty took
place on the race cs,urse, near tLis
town, between man BY the name of
COulin Fusillier and Hildsvert Car
riere. Coulin Fusillier drew bic pia-
tol to shoot Carriors, bat his hand
was caught By j bystaDdsr, and whils
attempting to ct the pistol away it
Vas discharged, killing . msa by the
name Of Co1fez, Who Was standing be-
hind Fusiiiier. The stories are very
conflicting - to Whist occurred after-
wards. FrsAm all We can gather, il
seems that Fusillier - soon q be saw
what he had doue drew his knife and
attempted to rua through the crowd.
Several sh.ts were cred 1t him By
the crowd, four Of which struck him,
three Of which would have proved
mortal, killing him instsataneously.
But one man has been identified as
c0noesnsd in tho killing Of Fasiliisr,
to.wit: Sosthene Harpio, . youpg
man from Vcrmilion parrish, who was
arrested upon the aaadavit at A. p.
Wiliisms, deputy Sheriff, and is now
confined in Jail. The verdict of the
coroDer's jury was to the effect that
!" Coulin Fusitlier came to his death
by pistol shots from the hands 0f
Sosthene Harpin aud some unknown
PARTIES"

districts show that the increase il
acreage under cultivation this year 10
to be very large. This condition is
the result Of the crop statistics Of last
year. It cost 81 cents per pound 70
raise cotton, and the planters received
an average Of Ill cents, realizing
profit Of s. cents per pound. The
crop was estimated at five million
bales, of $50 pounds each-2, ,25O, COO
600 pounds yielding profit that has
been put into the pockets Of the
Southern pl.nters OF $l24, ,0OO, 600.
The vapor engine referred to from
time to time has been running for
several days aud has been seen by
many engineers and capitalists. For
years experiments have boon made
with sulphide Of carbon as y motive
power but they have uniformly failed.
The inventor in this case has sue
ceeded beyond his most sangaine ex-
pectations in producing the power by
vaporization under low pressure IT
steam from a three gallon boiler with
out exhaust aud with Ere box not
holding peck Of charcoal or wood.
From reservoir the bisulphide is
pumped into an empty heated resort,
it is Instantly vaporized, passes to the
cylinder, does its work, is conducted
to a condenser, from thence back into
the reservoir to be used over aud over
again. Glycerine is used as = luhri-
Gator as it will not mix with the biz
sulphide ir any form or combinations.
1t is claimed that yapor engines con
be built from cat power up to en-
gines for ocean steamers. At least
eighty per cent. Of the cost Of fuel
will be saved while the expense Qf the
machinery will be reduced from thir-
ty to fifty per cent. The economy in
space cuts great figure as ten
horse power engine will not occupy
more than four feet square. A COM
pany is being organized for the build
ing and introduction of this new mo-
tor under royalties, and applications
arc being made for stock by many
leading capitalists to manufacture.
Inquiries addressed (enclosiDg stamp)
to Presby e. Green, Patent. Attor-
neys, ETC., Washington, D. c., will
have prompt attention.

| Tho Reichstag,s Coming SessIon-Pr0s- poets of BIsmarck's Army BIll-A sharp Contest for the Presidency in Prospect.
 BERLIN, Feb. 9.-The German Federal
 Council, consisting of one or more delegates
 from each of the States composing the Ger
 man confederation, has accepted the army
 bill. The council having quasi advisory
 functions, the fact of the army bill receiving favorable consideration at it's hands will rem der its passage by the Reichstag more proba- bIe.
 The approaching opening session of the Reichstag is causing considerable discussion as to the measures likely to be introduced by tine Government on important questions now pending. The struggle over the presidency of the body especially promises to be more warmly contested than any similar one for some time past The OlerioaIs and Conservatives will place in nomination Count Armin Barlzenburg as their candidate and the Liberals will enter the field in oppo- sition with Herr von Heningsen. The dispo- sition to contest the question of the presiden- cy of the Reichstag grows out of the fact that the feeling against imposing such heavy bur dens upon the German people as proposed in the army bill increases rather than diminishes as the time for it's submission to Parliament draws near. The Conservatives are disposed to second Prince Bismarck's army scheme as a defensive measure, but assert that no further burdens should be laid upon the people than are absolutely necessary to insure the safety of the empire in case of general European war. On the other hand the Liberals, while approving the substance of the precautionary steps taken by the Government, agree with the Conservatives in protesting against the levying of taxes for military purposes be- yond what the immediate situation appears to call for. It is believed that unless an unex- pected change occurs in the situation of the parties the Government will be most fully en- dorsed by the Liberals of whom Herr Won Hen- ingsen Is the leader. It is therefore held to be possible that the coming session of the Reich stag will witness an almost complete reversal of the position of the different parties. The Conservatives demand a minute examination of the provisions of the army bill and are in- clined to criticise the Government for the secrecy in which it's plans have been enveloped and for the haste with which the military authorities have now begun to act. The new bill is said to justify the conclusion that the peace strength of the army will be augmented by 25, 900 men and the war strength by from 80, 900 to 90, 900 more, besides calling for the enlistment annually of 5000 more recruits than under the former army laws.
