The BRIDGE.-On Tuesday last


The BRIDGE.-On Tuesday last,
the new pile-dr'ver was placed in
position on The Berwick side of
the bay, and in the presence Of a
number of officials of the Morgan
Line and many of our citizens,
the frst, or test, pile was driven.
The machinery did not work as
smoothly as it was expected it
would, but it is thought that this
will be remedied by use. Work
has now commenced on the bridge,
and will be pushed forward as
rapidly as possible.--Eree Press.

WIPED OUr.--Marrelin GMn-
ger, alias lie torn de la Mermen-
tau Anglice, the }" Mermentau
BULL" met a long predicted fate
last Sunday morning near the
Mermentau river in this parish, at
the hands Of Homer Lognon.
Granger, who had threatened to
shoot Lognon on sight, went to a
party OF horse herders, where he
knew Lognon was employed, aud
challenged him for fight. Lognon
proposed to dismount for that
purpose. Granger, replying that
he 1Granger) did not want to
fight, Lognon turned away from
him, when Granger fired. Both
men dismounted, aad Granger
advanced on Lognon, both the
young men firing at each other
with pistols. Changers last shot
being at such close quarters that
it set Lognon's clothes on fire.
Lognon's last shot entered Gran.
forehead, killing him
instantly. Granger was hit three
times out of -four shots. each wound
being mortal. Granger fred four
shots, but Lognon escaped unhurt.
Granger is accredited with two
murders, Of peculiar atrocity, and
his taking off, strictly in self
defence, gives, we understand
general satisfaction along the
Mermentau river.-Lake Charles

trade ETC., but aoiM draauing back
into your pocket the above sum
paid the ''monopolist" and as to
how most speedily do SO. And
how have you done it? By fulfill
ing your promises to "your sap
porters,' to the men who believed
your aoord in preference to Capt.
Phasr's? MOI but by making "an
entirely n,e,U permanent tariff, in
creasing your old rates fifty cents
per HID, on sugar. and other
freights in proportion This is
charged not to the mep who sup.
ported Capt. pharr's "deplorable
monopoly" but to your { aends and
supporters, who did all in their
power to aid you in your wal
upon said "deplorable monopoly"
(thanks for the original express
sion) and without whose support
you would never have succeeded
in causing the withdrawal Of the
Fuller. How fare those who be-
Hered Capt. Pharr and bound
themselves TO the opposition for a
period of twelve months at spe
cial rates" Did Capt. Pharr for
get them when he sold the trade
to you? No! bu, he exacted tnat
you should carry ont his contracts
with his friends and supporters, and
to-day your boat carries my
freight, and will continue to carry
it until the last day of September
1881, at the special rates for
which | "bound myself" | pre-
sumo the other gentlemen who
bound themselves" are in the
same "deplorable" situation. Com
parsons are generally odious, bat
in this instance the comparison
between your manner of fulfilling
your promises and Capt. Pharr's
manner of fulfilling his, is odorous.
As for your being neither pre-
pared nor willing to make special
contracts etc.. | thiuk the most
emphatic comment and decisive
answer is given by your conduct
in the above stated cases, and par
don me, if | allow myself to think
that what has been done once, can
and may he done again.
In conclusion allow me to state
that | AM prepared to prove by
most trustworthy persons, whose
yeracity is unimpeachahle, every
statement / have made in regard
to your assertions as TO the profit:
Of your steamboat, and yoprprom
ises as to a reduction, in your ole
rates Of freight. and ! aciW prove
them to be true in case you require
it.
Inow leave this matter TO a dis
eliminating public and sign my
self
Most respectfully yours
