A FINE HoTEL,-Though the seat of
government has not yet been duly in
stalled at Baton Rouge, yet the transient
people who have been passing through
our city, have been sufficiently numer-
Gus, at times, to our restaurants and
boarding houses. What will it be when
we have railroads and the State officers!
Can any one doubt that a number one
hotel would pay, that would have a fine
hall orsitting room, where our citizens
and visitors would find it convenient to
meet; where could be found besides a
bar, cigar aud newsstand, barber shop,
billiard room, etc. There will be plenty
of money in such an enterprise.

GENERAL NOTES FROM WASHINGTON.
aARFIELD's DOOM.
Socialists on His Track Expected Chang

Socialists on His Track Expected Change
in the Senate Deadlock.
WASHINGTON, April l6.-Kurtz, o So
cialist leader in Chicago, has written an
impertinent letter to President Garfield,
in which he says the President is as
much Of despot as the Gar OF Russia /;
that in all republics the people are op.
pressed by the rulers, and this is partic-
ularly true OF the United States. This
Socialist concludes his letter with the
opinion that President Garfield ought
to be served with big dose
Of dynamite aad nitro-glycerine. The
President read the letter, and was
amused at its impudence. There is gen.
eral expectation here OF some develop
ments in the Senate this week looking
to the confirmation OF the men who
have been nominated and hanging up
in the Senate. All feel hopeful OF early
confirmation, but both Republican and
Democratic Senators still maintain that
they do not intend to yield on the ques-
ton OF electing officers. At the first ex-
ecutive session the friends OF Stanley
Matthews intend to make an effort to
have him confirmed. Matthews is
anxious to have the matter settled one
way or the other and relieve him Of
further annoyance on the subject.

porary for Libel-Psrtioulars Of the
Case.
CLEVELAND, April 17.-About three
o'clock yesterday afternoon Edwin
Cowles, editor Of the Leod<r, commenced
suit in the Common Pleas Court against
c. W. Scripps and John s. Sweeny as
publishers OF the Penny PreS, charging
them with publishing libelous and
slanderous statements concerning
him., and claiming damages in
the sum of $4,000. Upon the
affidavit OF the plaintiff an attachment
was issued against the presses, printing
material and other property in the Pres
offices and the same was placed in the
hands Of Deputy Sheriff Freeman for
service. Mr.. Freeman summoned
Messrs. ". ]. Gleason and J. Jackson
Smith to act as appraisers. Mr.. Scripps
met his unwelcome visitors in the busi-
ness Office, and upon being informed OF
their mission, requested that the press
be allowed to run until the third edition
had been printed. Mr.. Freeman replied
that this was impossible, and the press
was stopped at once.

An Old Shot Gun Brings Down Two OAR

New ORLEANS, April l6.-A terrible
tracey has occurred at lberville, a hun
dred miles north OF here. Two men
were killed instantly and four badly
wounded. An eyewitness says: A
number Of negroes bave been employed
there cutting timber for j. 0. Terry &
Sons. and Saturday night while gambling
"Cube" Austin and Elijah Wall quar-
relied. The next day eight OF the men,
among them Austin and Wall went
to a supply store where, whisky
was freely drank, the quarrel was re-
newed, and Austin, drawing a knife,
drove Wall from the camp, threatening
death if he came back. Wall went to a
negro cabin, forcibly secured a shot gun,
double loaded it and, in ambush, await
ed the appearance of the boat. When
about one hundred and twenty five
wards from the starting point Wall
hailed them, and, with gun pointed
at them, ordered them to land.
While vet begging him not to shoot, he
fired killing ChPs. Williams and Mar
shall Bow man and wounding four others,
two sevrrey. Austin himself escaped
unhurt, and Wall is still at large. The
Governor offers large reward.

THE CONDITION AT CHIos.

Fully 1000 Persons Perished-etste-
msHts Of an Eye Witness
LONDON, April l6.-A correspondent
of the 7inles from Chios says: i have
now come to the conclusion, from per-
sonal observation and with the help Of
others in q pretty thorough canvass OF
the state Of affairs throughout the island,
that the total number OF dead is scarce
ly less than 1900, although some allow
ance may be due TO the fact that imme-
diately after the disaster many persons
crossed to the mainland, and some OF
these now reported as dead may be there.
The villages on the southern side OF the
island are completely wrecked, hardly
a single house being left standing. The
centre OF the volcanic action seems
tohave been near Venita, overlooking
Megalo lay on the east coast, where
three hundred persons perished out OF
a population Of twelve hundred.
Kallimassia is simply mass OF ruins,
and it is difficult to distinguish one
house from another. 1cannot conceive
how any considerable number OF the
population escaped. Only four hun.
dred and forty-eight perished out OF
eighteen hundred. The neighboring
villages suffered similarly, seven of the
principal ones, containing eight thou.
sand five hundred and seventy people,
are believed to have lost thirteen hun
dred and seventy in dead. At least
nine. .tenths of the houses in the SOUTH
ern and southwestern portions OF the
island must be rebuilt or repaired. The
population is now camping out and
there is great need of food and shelter.
The northern part requires help, but
to a less extent. Those severely wounded
are being brought to Chic by men from
the ships. The work OF clearing away the
ruins has begun here, but in the villages
the people are still panic stricken. Lit.
tie can be done as long as the shocks
continue. OF the 200 persons who per.
ished in Thelopatomia only 65 OF the
bodies have been recovered and simi.
lar proportion in the other villages.
About 5000 people are camped in the
southern half of the island with nothing
but what they have on their backs. Pro-
gress has been made towards systema-
tizing relief organization. The people
are further demoralized by the preach.
ing OF foolish Greek priest who warns
them all to flee as the island is about to
be completely swallowed up. The arch.
bishop and Governor are seeking to al
Law the excitement but many are still
emigrating to the main land and ada.
cent islands.

Quit the Army and Gone to Railroadirg-
Dissatisfied Democrats.

Dissatisneu Deuocrnts'
CHICAGO, April l7.-Col. Fred Grant
to-day resigned from the army his posi-
ton as first lieutenant OF the Fourth
cavalry and his rank as lieutenant
colonel on the staff of the lieutenant
general, for the purpose OF entering the
employ OF the Chicago, Texas and Mexi-
can central railroad as civil engineer OF
the road. His father.in.law, II. ii.
Honore, OF Chicago, Is also prominently
identified with the road.
There is much dissatisfaction here
among the Democrats at what they
allege TO be unfair treatment
in the municipal election returns by the
returning officers OF the West and
South towns. The officers have
thrown out several precincts for what
thew consider gross and essential viola
lations of the law, with reasons that the
returns SO purified elect all the Re-
publican candidates for town offices in
South and West towns, although the
face of the returns would have elected
most of the Democratic candidates. Con-
tests will probably be made to test the
legality of this action. The North town
votes are not yet counted.

HORRIBLE TRIPLE MURDER.
Two Women and Q Little Boy Brutally

ST. LOUIS, April IA dispatch from

BILE triple murder was committed about
eight miles from that city on Thursday

John Simmons, whose throat was cut
from ear to ear, her little boy,
four years old, whose brains were
dashed ont on q rock, and Mrs. Emily
Psrder, mother of Mrs. Simmons, who
seems TO have been strangled. 1t was at
first thought that John Simmons, the
husband and father, who had bad rep
utation in the place he lived, was the
murderer, but sheep-herier named F.
r. Phillips, was arrested last evening on
suspicion OF having committed the terri
BILE deed. A pair OF suspenders, known
TO have belonged to Phillips. were found
tied around Mrs. Simmons legs, and his
gun was found near by with blood upon
Il. Facts and circumstances seem to
show that Mrs. Simmons, and perhaps
her mother, were outraged and then
