| A GAY EyCURsIoN.-The announcement
that the steamer Edward J. Gay would tnkc
passengers from DonnldsonVille to Bayou
! Sara and back for 81 each induced party
| OF young ladies aud gentlemen from this
| town and parrish to make the round trip on
| that fine boat, and the excursion proved a
delightful one. When the Gay reached our
wharf at o'clock last Tuesday morning,
she was boarded by q party consisting of
Mr.. ii. D. Percy aud mother, Misses Lucille
Brand, Emily MaToG, Clara Heating, Maggie

ready on the steamer, aud Misses Landry
and Allen, escorted by Mr.. W. T. Denny,
who came aboard at the Landry landing.
The Italian string band from the Lee Hotel
accompanied the excursionists, and fur
nisfeli music which proved moi the least in
teresting feature ot the trip. Although
most OF the pleasure seekers had set up ell

entered into tho enjoynents Of the occasion
witt, keen Ze3t AMI spirit. They had
splendid time from the moment of leaving
DonaldsoHville until the boat reached The
wharf again at midnight of Wednes-
day. The Doraldsonville party danced all
night at the Mavor residence before EN-
barking on their trip, and Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings the ladies' cabin of
the Gay was turned into a veritable ball
room and Terpsichore ruled the hour.
Capt. Streck, Clerks Bergeron and Pugh
and the other officers Of til boat showed the
excursionists all possible courtesy and at
tentloE, contributing greatly to their enter
and enjoyment. The Gay reached

exactly sorry to get back, of course but
still regretting that their delightful trip had
SO soon come to an end.

The proceedings Of the State lovee con-
vention held at Baton Rouge on the 1871,
and 18th of June have been published in
pamphlet form, supplemented by the opin-
ions OF number Of our prominent Judges
and lawyers concerning parochiai power of
taxation FOR the building and maintenance
of levees. Such men as Judges Henry L.
Lazarus, John H. Kennard and Z. T. Mer-
rick, Messra. j. B. Eustis, T. j. Semmes,
w. T. Melien and others concur unani-
mously in the proposition that, under the
Constitution of 1879 and Acts Nos. 10 and
126 of 1882, Police Juries are fully empow-
cred to leVc and collect taxes for levee pur-
poses to any extent in excess of the general
ten mill limitation that may be considered
necessary, provided they secure the sanction
OF majority vote of property tax payers as
prescribed i'll Act No. 1876. The pamphlet
has been printed by the State Printer, and
will prove an interesting document to all
who are interested in the vital subject of
levee construction and maintenance.

The Red Rirer YnLLen.

A. E. johnson, emigration agent of the
Manitoba road, has just returned from
trip through the Red River valley, and
DEVILS Lake country. In the former Sec
ton seeding is about three-quarters done,
and with fair weather will be completed
during the current week. Small farmers
completed that branch of their work last
week, and are now breaking new ground.
The snow of the past winter has had a good
effect upon the ground. Wheat planted
ten days ago has begun to sprout, and the
general opinion is that with fair weather,
a good harvest will be gathered. The new
corners there this year are able bodied and
willing to work, with hardly any of the
class known as spectators. They are men
of means and will be permanent. The
season is being availed of for building up
of towns and villages, and Improvements
are in progress, though there is a lack of
residence accommodations. There is no
investment, Mr.. johnson thinks, so sure of
steady and substantial returns as building
residences in the Red River valley.
Bartlett, at the end of the Manitoba road,
has grown into town of several hundred
within three months. All kinds of bust
ness is represented there, and 1t is not an
unusual sight to see from fifty to one hun
dred teams at time loading with mer-
chandise for the DEVILS Lake country.
Villages have sprung up as if by magic in
the vicinity, including Niagara, inhabited
by New York emigrants, Michigan City by
settlers from Michigan City, Indiana,
Mapes settlement by people from
Ohio and Iowa. Pushing beyond these
are DEVILS Lake city, Creel city,
Grand Harbor, and on toward Dry Cooley,
the Turtle mountains and Mou Sc river
country. Prices of merchandise, provis-
ions, groceries, ETC., are cheaper than
would be expected, and everything points
to rapid and immediate building up of
the country.

The Bad and Worthless

are never initiated or counterfeited. This is
especially true of family medicine, and it is
positive proof that the remedy initiated is of the
highest value. AS soon as it had been tested
and proved by the whole world that Hop Bltters
was the purest, best and most valuable family
medicine on earth, many limitations sprung up
and began to steal the notices in which the press
and people of the country had expressed the
merits of H. B., and in every way trying to
induce suffering invalids to Use their stuff in
stead, expecting to make money on the credit
and good name of H. B. Many others started
nostrums put up in similar style to II. B., with
variOusly devised names in which the word
"Hop," or ''Hops'' were used in way to in
duce people to believe they were the same as
Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or
cures, no matter what their style or name is,
and especially those with the word ''Hop'' or
Hops" in their name or in any way connected
with them, or their name, are limitations or
counterfeits. Beware of them. Touch none
of them. Use nothing but genuine Hop Bit
GERS, with bunch or cluster of green hops on
the white label. Trust nothing else. Druggists
and dealers are warned against dealing in imi-
tations or counterfeits

A Railroad Var Imminent.


CHICAGO, May 9.-Great fears are ex-
pressed that passenger rates to the west
and northwest will soon go to pieces. The
passenger business between Chicago and
Council Bluffs is pooled, but it is under
stood this pool has not been carried ont
lately, or division of traffic made. There
IS also an agreement between the roads
running to st. Paul and MINNEAPOLIS for
the maintenance of passenger rates. but
this agreement also, it is claimed, mas not
been maintained by all the lines. In con-
sequence, considerable bad blood has been
shown during the past few weeks, especial
ly between the Rock Island and Milwau-
kee d st. Paul. The Rock Island. it is nm
derstood, has been getting away with large
proportion of the emigrant business to the
northwest, and the Milwaukee g. st. PanI
and Northwestern claimed that it obtained
it by unfairness, which, however, is en-
phatically denied by the Rock Island. II
is learned now that notice has been given
by one of the Iowa lines of its withdrawal
from the passenger pool on Omaha &,
Council Bluffs business, and this. of
course, will carry with it an abandonment
of the passenger agreement On northwest
ern business. 1t is generally believed that
unless something is speedily done to re-
store amicable relations between the

Upper Mississippi Traffic.
Especial Telegram to the Globe


CHICAGO, May "a meeting of the man
ayers and general freight agents of the
roads leading to upper Mississippi river
points was he'd at Commissioner Garments
Office to-day, to make one more effort to
adopt the new agreement recently pub
lished establishing differential rates on
upper Mississippi river business, or in
other words, to establish three rates, one
for all rail, the other for rail and water,
and the third for all water. The Illinois
Central road was not represented at the
meeting, and therefore nothing could be
done. The meeting was dissolved and all
efforts to form an agreement have proved
fruitless. Last week the Illinois Central
officials were at first inclined to become
party to the new agreement, but the at
tempt made to force them to submit to
the rules and regulations of the North
western Traffic association caused them to
change their mind. They claim that
by doing so their hands would be
tied, and that they would have no means of
resenting the encroachments upon their
territory in Iowa by other Northwestern
lines. All they want, the Illinois Central
people say, is to be treated fairly at points
in Iowa, to which they have the short line.
and they have no desire to disturb upper
Mississippi river rates. The situation is
now serious in the case, and fight on up-
per Mississippi river freight rates will no
doubt begin tomorrow. The feeling has
become especially bitter among all lines
interested, and there can be little doubt
that rates will be cut to an astonishinplv
low basis this week.

Ratlrau Buildino this Year.

CHICAGO, May 9.-The Railway Age will
say that in the first four months of the
present year there were l, 45O miles of main
track laid, against 1890 during the CORES
ponding period last year. The decrease is
owing to the cold winter and backward
spring interfering with the works. Not
withstanding this fact, the mlleage.thus far
this season is greater than for the same
period for any previous year, except 1882.
The work done on seventy-fve different
lines in thirty-one states and territories:
California, 40 miles; Utah, 1876; New
York, lis; Pennsylvania, SO; Montana, Sc;
Idaho, S5; Arizona, "a, and Missouri, 70.
The estimated railway building for the
year is 5000 miles.

REPUBLICAN STATE CoMuITrEEs.
State Convention Called at st Paul, We'd
nesday, June 81.

OhAtCu at 81 dul1 w GU
nesday, June FL.
The meeting of the Republican state
central committee was held at the Office of
Hon. @. K. Davis, chairman of the COM
mlttee, McQuillan block, yesterday after
noon. The members of the committee in
attendance in addition to the chairman,
were, j. b. Wakefield. J. II. Lawrence, G..
IL. johnson, G. Fl. Petit, II. G. Day, F. E.
Bissell, o. S. Reishus, II. A. Castle and S.
z. Jennison, proxy for j. A. Thatcher.
The first matter considered was as to the
time for holding the state convention,
which was fixed, after brief interchange
OF views, upon the motion of G. II. Petit,
on the third Wednesday in June, the 9th.
The decision upon this date was clinched
by Col. Johnson remarking that if it was
put off until the time for holding the
county conventions, every county in the
Fifth congressional district would have
two or three boiling delegations de-
handing recognition and admittance.
The basis of representation was fixed at
one delegate for each county, and one del
egate additional for each 400 Republican
voters or major fraction thereof, cast at
the late gubernatorial election, averaged
upon the several executive officers voted
for at the time.
The place of holding the convention,
upon motion of Mr.. Day, was fixed at ST..
Paul, to meet at II NJ, the securing of a
hall being left to the committee.
The resignation of L. W. Collins, ST..
Cloud, member of the committee, recently
appointed judge of the Seventh judicial
district, was presented and accepted, when
the committee adjourned.

ASKING a Judan,ent be Set Aside.

PHILADELPHIA, May 9.-The court of
common pleas have granted rule to show
cause why an execution issued upon a
judgment of w. Hesh against the Phila-
delphia & Reading Railroad company for
the payment of $24,553, principal and in
terest of dsbenture scrip, should not be
set aside upon the strength of an affidavit
of Francis j. Gowen, counsel for the com
pany, in which he sets forth that he had
made an agreement with plaintiffs coun-
SELL H. G. Harris, to settle the judgment
by assigning it to third party instead of
satisfying it, but that he received word
from Harris, his client, who refused to
carry out the agreement unless he received
in addition to the amount of judgment an
additional sum, on account of interest on
the coupons, which interest he had not in
cluded in the judgment. Gowen further
affirms that before he could again see the
attorney the execution was issued, and he
claims that Harris knewthat the company
was ready to pay the judgment, and that
the delay in doing so was only until it
was determined whether the plaintiff
would agree to assign.
