A CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS.

On Friday evening last, while accom-
panying Jack Mobiles family home,
Miss Mary Mcconnell, of this city, was
thrown out and had the large bone of
| the forearm fractured. She was brought
home and Dr. Tallmann was called.
She is doing nicely.
On Sunday morning last William
Penhallegon, his wife, and two daugh-
tiers, Flora and Millie, with Mr.. Harry
Pumlee were driving to this city;
when about half way down the steep
hill near Mr.. James SpenSley's house, a
tug hook broke, and the horse threw
himself around on the other side of
his mate. completely divesting Mr.. z.
of all control with the reins. Mr..
Pumlee jumped out to stop them, but
owing to the rapid rate at which they
were running did not get to their
one wheel going into it, throwing the
four persons against the rocks into the
water. many heavy rocks falling onto
them, Mr.. Penhalegon lying at the
bottom, with huge boulder on his
head and body. The timely assistance
of Mr.. Pumlee together with Mr.
Spensleys people, and Mr.. John
Coleman saved them all from being
drowned. They were then taken to
Mr.. Coleman's house; DR.. Tallmann
was called and dressed their wounds;
they were then taken home, where
they are doing rem arkably well after
such Il terrible accident. 1t seems
almost miraculous when the fact is
known that the only bones broken are
two small bones in the hand of Mr..
Penhallegon, though the flesh wounds
and bruises are very bad on all four.
With others we feel deep sympathy
for Mr. Penhallegon and his family, yet
we can but congratulate them all on
their narrow escape.
On Tuesday morning. while digging
out rocks near Mr.. Shaft S mill, for the
new bridge, Mr.. William Ho2re met
with a sad accident. a mass of loose
rocks sliding down broke both bones of
his left leg just above the ankle joint
and injuring the joint itself. He was
brought home and DR.. Tallnan called
to reduce the fracture, *F*

The Opelousas courier., 1882-04-01

Our city cotemporaries of the Times
Democrat and Pieayune are having
quite spirited discussion about the
circulation and advertising Of their pa
pers. The Picayune has long claimed
the largest circulation of any other
paper in the Crescent City; but from
the facts and figures set forth by it's
younger, but giant rival-the Times
Democrat-it would appear that the
former will have TO yield the palm to the
latter at least the public will SO con-
slider it, unless the Picayune brings for
ward proof to controvert the allegations
of the Times Democrat. Without ex-
pressing a preference or an opinion in
behalf of either paper. we must say that
the Times Democrat is the most popular
city paper in Opelousas; it having, ae.
cording to the statement of the Post
master, sixty regular subscribers, and
the Picagune only three.
We hope that onr coayreres will settle
this matter good humoredly, and that
neither will suffer by fair decision of
their rival claims.

opelousas, Parish Of St Landry, La, April 1882

FLOOD NoTEs.-Port Barry is entire
ly submerged. The last steamer
brought to Washington large number
of refugees and stock 6rom that and
other points on the Coartableau and
Atchafalaya, and has lSturned to re-
lleVe many others who are veto sur
rounded by the waters. The waters
are still rising along the Courtableau,
Waxia and Teche, and adding to the
area of deselatiOn and distress. The
advance of the floods is within one and
a half miles of Opelousas on the east,
and still approaching. Deer are to be
seen on the outskirts of the corpora
tion. The wires are down on this side
Of Alexandria, and the cable across
Berwick's Bay is gone. Messages are
sent from Rerwick's City across to Nor
gan City by messengers, to be re-for-
warded either way.
Numbers of people from the section
OF country east of Opelousas care MAX
ing their way toward our town, in
carts, on horseback. on foot, and some
even with wheelbarrows loaded with
their most valuable earthly possessions,
fleeing from the rising waters which
have invaded their homes for the first
time within the recollection of the old
est inhabitant.
Every house aud cabin in and near
Washington is crowded with refugees,
driven away from their homes by the
overflow along the bayous in the east
ern and north eastern portions of our
parish-which, by the by, are the only
sections of st. Landry subject to over
tiow-and the open hearted people of
our sister town are doing what they
can to relieve their distress. Bnt they
cannot do SO properly without assist
ance, and our people in more favored
localities should lend helping hand
until government aid, in the way of
ratlons, can be secured.
