One OF the most sckening affairs-if, in

been cur duty To chronicle happened last Sat

men, Robert and Denis Patrick, brothers, got
into dispute about each others share In the
years crop. A long kettle filled with water
was near by. The water In the kettle had
been heated to such O degree that they were
waiting for II to cool little In order to scald
hogs ID It. The water was SO hot that they
we're afraid 1t would "set" the hair OF the
hogs. This was the high temperature OF the
water when the brothers began to QUAR-
he would put him In the kettle II he
didn't shut up, and Robert, the preacher
brother told Dennis that II he put him, Rob-
ert In that water, he, Dennis, would have to
go with him Dennis caught Robert and
pressed him back ward In the direction Of the
kettle. He pressed him. both OF them having
their arms locked meanwhile, until they both
went headlong into the Kettle OF seethng
waterl Their piieous, awful screams and
means soon sttracted others to the pl zee, who
finally extrlcated them from the white hot
cauldron. They retained the r senses when
first taken out, and heir intense ag0nies were
simply beyond description. Thy Mt once
complained OF their hot clothes, and when
these were taken from their limbs great
flakes Of boiled flesh went with them, leaving
their bones exposed. Their boards fell out,
and their hair dropped from their heads.
They had lit. rally been cooked alivel The
sight was such that those who witnessed it
were well nigh paraIyzed with horror.
All possible measures or relief were tried
during the night, but Robert died next day
and Dennis died on Monday.

Last Saturday Mr.. VIM. Cantine returned
from Lake Charles, and Mir. II. l.. Shaw came
from west OF Poupsrville, and from them we
obtained the following Information:
Between Vrrmionvile and Mermentau
river, distance OF about thirty-eight miles
there then remained but four miles OF road
bed to grade-at Bayou Banc-and as l5O con-
victs were engaged In this work, the work
will probably be- completed In few days.
Between Mermentau and Lake Charles the
grading Is all complete, AMI eighteen miles OF
track had been laid eastward this side Of Pine
Island.
Work on the bridge over the north end OF
Lake Charles Is progressing rapidly, and
when the cars run passengers will have a
magnificent view, embracing the whole OF
the round lake and thu town Of Lake Charles.
This bridge will be one OF the most substan-
tial ever built The piers are surrounded
with Immense iron tubes aud the masonry
work inside so thoroughly cemented that 1t
will be everlasting. From the shore each end
OF the bridge Is suspended to the first pier,
From Lake Charles to the Sabine, dis
laid except over eight miles Immediately
east OF that river, where 1t Is graded. From
the Sabine to the town of Orange, eight miles,
the track Is all laid, bit the bridge over the
Sabine Is not ct completed.
Tt Ia expected the cars will be running from
Houston to Lake Charles in two months, aud
as the iron to complete the Louisiana WEST
ern Railroad to Narmillonvtlle Is now all at
the mouth of the CAlcasieu, we have no doubt
the entire road will be completed by June /,
or sooner.

Washington Special to Cincinnati ENQUIRER. I
There is abundant surface indication that
the Republicans are becoming alarmed.
Tuesday Secretary Sherman sent for Con-
gresham Hubbell, chairman of the Con-
gressional committee, and had long con-
ference with him at the treasury department.
Those who have talked with Sherman rep
resent that be IS discouraged at the outlook,
and believes more firmly than ever that the
canvass should have been made on the
record of the party on the financial sues-
ton, and the appeal have been made to the
business interests of the country rather than
the passions which have developed since
the war. Secretary Schurz is more hope
full. He believes, though, that if
Garfeld.shall be elected it will be by the
business vote of the country, and the bloody
shirt is not having any perceptible effect on
the canvass.
Both Sherman, Schurz and other officials
of the existing administration secretly damn
Conklipg for the side thrusts he gave the
President and his friends in his New York
speech. There are Republicans who say
that Conkiing really does not want Garfield
elected. He is assembling, so as not to ap
pear in the light of Q kicker. His hope is
to trot Grent out in 1884 as the only Repub-
lican who can save the party. and it is for
this reason that Grant himself appears to
take deep interestin the impending strue-
gle.
