A BOGUS "OUTRAGE."
A Characteristic Bloody Shirt Story
Comes to Grief.

[By Associated Press to the Plain Dealer.l
New ORLEANS, April 22.-The Demo.
crdt publishes statement received from
R. ID. Bridger, Judge of the Fourth Judi.
cial District, in relation to the publica.
tion made by Charles Heath concerning
the burning of the property in Caldwell
parish. Judge Bridger says: "Charles
Heath owns no property III the parish.
His brother, Edward Heath, owns plan.
tation in this parish ten miles below
Columbia, appraised at $3.50. Charles
Heath usually visited the place and man.
aged it for his brother. He was never on
the place more than three or four months
during each year. The place was gener.
ally leased to or worked on shares by
laborers.' The Judge says the ward in
which Heath's place is slocatedis controll
ed by the colored population, represented
in the police jury by a colored man, who
is also member of the parish schoo
board. The justice of the peace and con
stable are colored. The statement OF
Charles Heath in relation to the alleged
troubles and causes are false"
The Judge futher says: There having
been several fires recently in the parish
and all buildings burned being insured,
determined to have the matter investigat
ed. The following is an extract from
the report of the grand jury, at the Jan
uary term, of the burning of the Heath
property: I'VE find the general opinion
of persons residing in the vicinity is thai
the burning was the work of an incen
diary, but can find no clue to the perpe
TRAITOR of the act. 1t is reported that the
property destroyed was fully covered by
insurance"
In conclusion, Judge Bridger says:
am fully convinced the property was
burned to get the insurance money. The
foreman of the jury informed me whilst
they could not get sufficient evidence to
authorize them to find bill, yet he was
fully persuaded and convinced in his owr
mind the property was burned to obtai1
money. think evidence has been OBJ
tanned sufficient to justify the grand jury
at the July term in tindinga bill. Heath's
statement is totally false and slander or
the people of our parish.
RobertJ Caldwell, born in the parish
and Republican since the close of the
war, adds, mo mans property is endan
gered on account of his political feel

DE LESSEPS' CANAL COMPANY
Treasurer AbscOnds With 10000

New YORK, April 23-Panama news
just received, dated ten days ago, SAYS:
The Treasurer of De Lesseps' Canal
Company has disappeared with 100000
in French gold belonging to the COM
pany. He went away on tug, from
which he boarded steamer.
The Canal Company for time at
tempted to account for the Treasurer s
absence by saying that he had commit
ted suicide, for reasons of his own, by
drowning himself in the Chargres River.
The truth is now, however, admitted
1t is now reported that another Off
cial of the Canal Company has abscond-
ed with $500. There is general feeling
OF dissatisfaction on the Isthmus with
regard to the canal people. Many per-
sons under the company are absolutely
disgusted with the manner in which they
are treated. The employees are compell-
ed to take board from the company in
order to get anything to eat, and are
charged stiff price. The food is often
too little to satisfy them. The employees
are compelled to procure more on credit.
For this most outrageous prices are de-
manded on the plea that the company
find it next to impossible to procure tn e
regular supply alone.
AT Matachin an engineer was paying
for board of himself, wife and child $50
month. Not getting enough to satisfy
themselves, they took necessary extras.
having them charged against the hus,
band S salary. In the account at the
expiration of month the engineer found
bill of extras charged against his fami-
ly by the company that amounted to
$19O. bringing him into debt on the next
month's salary $50.
An Englishman who had been at work
seven weeks went to settle up, and found
himself indebted to the company $3.50
over and above all his earnings. The
food furnished by the company consits
of native rice, dried beef, beans, Goldfish,
and occasionally fresh beef given out in
miserly measure. The Canal Company
commlssary department seems to be
managed so as to secure the labor of the
company's employees for nothing.

May, however, hot weather may be ex-
pected and after the 10Th bush fires will
probably break out in certain districts,
although thunder storms are also prob
able on the 18th and 18th. Between the
Goth and 25th there will probably be
cloudy weather with rains. and vegeta.

observance of Memorial Day, the 30th
prorinO, the Department Commander
commits with confidence to several Posts
of this Department, the duty of making
arrangements for this anniversary of
gratitude. AS the years go by this labor
of love is greatly enlarged, as, one by
one, those who have survived the tolls
of the march, the dangers of the deadly
strife, the pain and weariness of the hos
pital and the prison, are called to the
Grand Encampment above, and no longer
answer to our roll-call.
Memorial Day is our pledge. the pledge
of the people. that none of these, nor any
who have gone on with the advance of
the ever lengthening column of our sac
red dead, shall sleep in neglected grave.
1t was happy inspiration that first
suggested the now established custom of
strewing with flowers the graves of those
who died that the Nation might live.
Not that our gallant dead could ever be
forgotten by their surviving Comrades.
Their memory lives and flourishes unaf-
fected by the revolving seasons, save as
the silent lapse of time makes them still
more beloved. Memorial Day comes not
only to remind us of our duty to the de-
parted, but gives us grateful occasion to
express the.unfailing love which is ever
present in our hearts. The buds and bios
SONS of Spring seem to plead for the
privilege of breathing their fragrance

viving nature. types of a better resurrec-
ton, we gladly appropriate, beautiful
though fugitive tokens of our enduring
regard for those who died that we might
enjoy peace and happiness.
Committed anew to the Officers and
Comrades of the Department, is the sac.

Another ''Dead-LOck.''
Especial to the Cincinnati Commercial.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-In addition to
Barnum's circus and the Senate dead
lock, Washington has another matter of
interest-a war between the street rail-
road and a cab company. The most prof
table street car traffic in the city is that
on Pennsylvania avenue, between the
White House and Capitol. A cab COM
pany has lately attempted to divert a
portion of this travel from the street cars.
This was attempted once before by a
chariot company, and the railroad bought
up the whole concern. To drive off the
intruders, the horse-car fare is reduced
to three cents. 1t is great convenience
to office-seekers, and enables them to see
saw between the White House and Capt.
tol at reduced rates. There are no
signs that this deadlock will be broken.
The cab company, like the Democrats,
say they have come to stay.
