Last Saturday an accident occurred
at Garland's mill near Opelousas, that
by mere accident did not result in .
death. Mr.. Charles F. Garland, who
was the engineer. after getting up
steam, went to the fy-wheel, which is
some ten or fifteen feet in diameter, to
start it. He was on the side where the
band went off into an adjoining room
to turn q smaller wheel. He pulled
down on the wheel, putting one foot on
one of its spokes, and holding one
higher up with his hands; while . me-
gro man, on the opposite side, pushed
upwards. Suddenly the wheel started
like lightning, carrying Mr.. Garland
round with it. The wheel is only eight
or ten inches from the ground, and in
making the passage some of the VIC
TINS hair was torn of. When he
reached the top he was thrown Oft at a
tangent, on the same side he started,
striking feet foremost, the weather
boarding of the building some twelve
or fifteen feet from the wheel and about
the same distance from the ground,
then falling on the band and from that
to the ground, where he lay apparently
lifeless. 1t all happened in an instant.
The man before whose eyes he passed
so closely, did not see him, the motion
was SO rapid. Near where he struck
the weatherboarding there were pro-
jecting timbers, which, if he had struck
them, woald have killed him instantly
A broken collar bone, one or two cuts
above one eye, bruise on his back
and general soreness, is the sum OF bis
Injuries. The physician announces

constitution will therefore restore him
to health in a week or two.

The Failure of Joseph Bloch

The sensation in Opelousas this week,
has been the failure Of Mr.. Joseph

oct, s74.s5, for money and advances to
enable Bloch to run Poplar Grove plan
tation, and to carry on his store IN
Opelousas; and the petition "repre-
sents that the said Bloch has mortgaged,
assigned or disposed of, or is about to
mortgage, assign or dispose of bis
property, rights or credits, or some
part thereof, with intent to defraud his
creditors, or give an unfair preference
to seine Of them and that he has con-
yerted his property into money or EVIL
dences of debt, with intent to place it
beyond the reach of his creditors; and
that he will dispose Of said crop during
the tendency Of this suit"
A writ of attachment and sequestra-
ton was issued, and Mr.. Bloch's store
in Opelousas, and crop on Poplar Grove
plantation went into the hands of the
sheriff.
On the same day similar writ was
issued against his property, on the petit
ton of Levenson g. Co., of New York,
through their attorney, Kenneth Bail
lilo. They claim $2,350.0O. The allega-
tons of the petition are about the
same as in the preceding one.
On Tuesday, Kieffer Bros, New Or
leans, sued out a similar writ, on the
same grounds, through their attorneys
Estilettlc & Dupre-amount claimed
$5T.OO.
On the same day, Yale & Bowling, Of
New Orleans, did the same thing, or

| Co., New Orleans, through their attor'
ney, Kenneth Baillio, obtained a SINH.
lar writ, on same grounds-amoun1
Il
claimed 1858.
Mr.. Bloch, through his attorneys
/ Lewis g. Bro. and w. A. Robertson
/ acknowledge the Indebtedness, bu
/ deny the other allegations in the petit
4 lions; and on account of injury done
him by the wrongful seizures, which
stopped his business and ruined hi
] credit, he claims large amount fo
. damages.
A suit for $2O,OOO.0O has also beer
filed against him, in the United State
District Court here, by Lehman Bros.
/ of New York, through their attorney
