Gen. Jos. l.. Brent visited the Tax Col

settling his o~n taxes, arranged for the
payment Of those of every employee and
1aborcr on the A@hland and Bowden
places who owns taxable possessions.
The General will pay these taxes himself
and make present of the receipt to each
employee, as an encouragement to those
who have been frugal enough to acquire
property. This generous action-which
Gen. Brent had no idea was to be made
known through the columns Of the
Chiefs characteristic of that generous
and public spirited gentleman.

was surprise party given at the resi-

Claiborne street, corner of Railroad Az
enue, the evening of the goth inst. De-
spite the almost impossible state Of the
sidewalks, the pleasure seekers plodded
their way through the mud to the hos
pitable home of the MAYORS, and were
amply rewarded for their pains by the
enjoyment derived from the evenings
amusements. With vocal and instru-
mental music, dancing and playing of
games the hours wore swiftly away, and
it was after o'clock when the uncere-
monious visitors took their departure.

The Terpsichorean Club gave another

bers of the club were attentive and ac-
tive, as usual, in contributing to the en-
joyment of their guests. The only draw
back was the rather slim attendance Of
young gentlemen, but considering the
cxtemporaneous character of the hon,
which was only decided upon the even
ing before its occurrence, this slight
shortcoming was not to be wondered at

MISUNDERSTANDING morning, about
8 o'clock, on Nh D. +. Kcnners Texas
place, in the sixth ward, VIM. Tucker
was shot and instantly killed by Henry
King, who made his escape Immediately
after the killing. Both parties to the
affair were colored men, Tucker being
about - years of age, and King about
so, the latter occupying the position Of
head man I" and time keeper on the
Texas place. The alteration which
ended iii the death Of Tucker had for its
cause that fruitful provocation of such
disturbances, a woman. After the men
had qnarreled while, Tucker called
King liar, and tho latter slapped him,
following up the action by drawing !; re-
yolver.s Tucker begged not Il be shot,
but King deliberately placed the weapon
against his antagonists breast and fred,
and the unfortunate Tucker fell to the
ground u corpse. The murderer ran to
his cabin, secured some money and his
shotgun and knife. told his wife she
would have to take care of herself the
best way hesoould, mounted mule he
had bought from Mr. Kenner,, and rode
rapidly towards and into the woods ia; k
Of the Kenner plantations. A number
OF the laborers on the place witnessed
his flight, but none dared to interfere
With him. King has been Il sober. in
dustrions man, his chief fault being an
undue fonlness for women, a weakness
that has more than once led him to the
verge OF serious difficulties with colored
men i'll his nei ghborhood. He was what
is considered we'll -to-do" in his sphere
of life, owning, besides some movable
an improved town lot in Don
jacksonville. He is tall and strong, a
shillful deer hunter and well acquainted
with the New River woods.
1t is reported to-day that the fugitive
has been apprchended in the parish of
East Baton Rouge under suspicion of
having stolen tho mule he is riding,
which is branded D. F. X. If this be
true, the murderer will doubtless soon
be Ill our parish Jail awaiting trial for
the great crime he has committed.
Coroner Vandegriff held an inquest Oh
the body Of Tucker tho same day tie
killing occurred, and DR.. A. C. Love
performed the autopsy. The jury re-
turned verdict in accordance with the
facts,
