THE CAPITOL.

While in Baton Rouge last week, We
learned that, owing to the depreciation
Of their warrants, the State House Com
mission have concluded not to soil them
at present. The failure to realize the
necessary funds to pay Off the contrac-
tors will npcessitatc tho partial aban-
donnent and postponemcnt of work on
the capitol until the legislature applies
a remedy for the depreciation alluded
to. 1t is therefore proposed, VIC under
stand, to keep only a few men at work
on the building until the meeting of
tho legislature, be that until next May,
tho time fixed for its regular session.
Very little more work is required to
make it fit for occupation-the Press
Association met in the Senate Cham
ber-and we unhesitatingly commend
the Commission for having declined to
sacrifice their warrants-they arc
quoted at 45 cents-cvcn though the
completion of the capitol will thereby
DO delayed six months or a year. Tho
legislature can certainly better afford to
meet in an unfinished building than
the State can afford the loss that would
be entailed by the sale Of the State
House warrants at ruling prices

Through the <sNIud-lIOlcs"

A correspondent of the Baton Rouge
Advocate gives the following dcscrip-
ton of the difficulties encountered by
the Ouachita packet Clara s., at the
mouth Of Red river, on late trip to
New Orleans:
Sunday evening we entered the
mud hole. For a mile before us ran
a little stream so narrow tho smallest
steamers cannot pass each other with
out tho greatest danger and difficulty.
For five or six hundred yards, on either
side and on line with the waters
edge, extends the bed of the river
with not a single stump or snag in
sight to fasten a line to, and soft enough
to bog an alligator. The boats were
lowered and manned, but the current,
caused by water from the Mississippi
rushing through to the Atchafalaya,
was SO swift that much caution was
necessary to prevent upsetting. AT
last, after several hours sounding, the
deepest places were found to be between
two and four feet. Our boat had several
hundred bales Of cotton and other
freight, and Of course was deep in the
water. We were without lighters, and
had the cotton been rolled ashore it
would have sunk out Of sight. The
men could neither crawl nor swim in
the mud, in short we were in the worst
predicament imaginable. WHAT'S to be
done: How will we get through:
Is the ice out? How long will the
provisions last? were the all important
questions.
But, Notwithstanding tho accum-
lating difficulties and dangers, the
officers in charge lost neither their
energy, patience or determination. .
They did all in their power to make
| the passengers enjoy the situation, and
| the passengers in turn did what they
! could in admiring first one thing aud
then another, all of which council was
wisely disregardcd. Work without
| intcrmission was necessary, and all
began with will.
After ssburying several Gead men,
parting two or three lines, upsetting 4
skiff, and witnessing the explosion OF
one of the boilers of the towboat Pain
tcr-which damaged the boat consid
erably but fortunately did not hur
anybody-we steamed out into thu
broad Mississippi. We were 20 hours
in the mud and left behind us three o
: four boats that seemed to be laborin.
under greater disadvantages than w
had overcome.

Father Mcclure.

Rev. John A. MCGUIRE died at the
residence Of his son, Mr.. J. +. Nc
Guire, in this city Saturday morning.
Father Mcclure, as he was affectiona-
tcly called, was born in the last century,
April 81, 1893, and was a native of
Henry County, Kentucky. His health
had been failing for some years: but
not until a short time back was he
unable to appear on the streets where
his presence always received marked
attention. Funeral services were held
at the Baptist church, of which de-
nomination he was an exemplary
member and devoted minister, aud his
remains were inferred in Monroe
Cemetery with Masonic honors and in
the presence of q large concoursc of
mourning friends. ~ life lustrous with
good examples to both young and old
has found its close, and the reward pro-
missed to the righteous has found
another claimant upon its cXhaustlcss
store. We may say with truth, tho
country mourns the loss of a truly good
and pious man.
