GOVERNOR McENERY.

We learn from Il telegram from the
Governor to Senator Ably that the
Governor expects to reach Monroe on
the f.. A. Blanks, due this morning.
We infer that the purpose of the Gov
crnor's visit is to investigate the trou-
bles existing between the Railroad
Company and one Of the firms of con-
tractors lately at work on the road,
about which we publish some cores
pondencc, not of II satisfactory nature,
in another column. About these diff
ferenccs, we have gathered nothing
positive, except that there arc two
sides to the quarrel, and that each
party seems equally rcsolutc in main
tanning his views.
We again say we regret that such
| hurtful troubles should arise in this
parish. The methods adopted by either
party arc contrary clearly to law--thc
one in resorting to force, and the other
in invoking military aid, not having
exhausted his civil remedies. There
must be common ground for indiVid.
uals to stand upon where both appeal
to improper tribunals, and we shall
confidently expect this ground to be
| found.

on Sunday morning and after every

Sunday morning, at 8 30 O'Clock,
Mrs. Saluda G. Chapman of this city
died, at the residence Of hersonJ. G.
Chapman, Esq, corner of Thirteenth
and Edmond streets. Mrs. Chapman was
born in Clinton, louisiana, December
2G, 1926, and was the widow of w. w.
Chapman, who died December "a,
1868, at Monroe, Louisiana. She had
been resident of this city for the past
twelve years, was universally. loved
and respected. She; a consistent men,
Der of the Francis ST., Methodist
church, and had been devoted Chris
tan for 30 years. She leaves 6 children,
three of whom, Rev. M. 3. chapman,
Mr.. j. q. Chapman and Winans, a
younger brother, reside in this city.
We copy the above from tho ST.
Joseph (Mo.) Herald of the Goth ulti
mo. Mrs. Chapman was we'll known
in this city where she had lived, adj
mircd and beloved, and where her hus
band, no less esteemed, died as stated
by the Herald. Both are remembered
with affection and love by all who
knew thcm-Mr. Chapman for his up
rightness and strict, integrity, Mrs.
Chapman for her many social graccs
and great kindness Of heart.
We learn that Mr.. Eph. Fow-
Ter, of Eichland, died suddenly ut his
residence in that parish Sunday last.
He had left Monroe but that morning,
apparently in his usual health, which,
however, had been precarious for some
years, cntailing a nroat amount of suf-
Scring. Mr.. Fowler was, some years
ago, 4 citizen of this town and parish.
He was 4 man Of great energy and
thorough in all he did. lie was prOba-
bly, 60 years Of age. Peace to his ashes.
The physicians in one of the hos
pitfalls of Vienna have made the re-

mcnt since early childhood. The man
was 40 years age, bookbinder, and al
ways passed for Il thoroughly intelligent
person The nail in his brain did not
seem to affect his mental powers in any
particular. There is probably no case
on record to parallel this.

BIG FIRE IN FARMEHVILLE!
-. Stein Il Co.'s Store and Contents
Destroyed:
From the Gazette. |

From the Gazette.J
On Monday morning about 1890 it
was discovered that the large brick
store-house of Iessrs. d. Stein & Co.,
of Main and Bayou streets Of our town,
was on fire. When the alarm of fire
was given, Mr.. Stein and some
friends were at his residence about
$50 yards from the rear of the store
house. They quickly reached the burn
ing building, when it was discovered
that the iron shutter on Bayou was
open. Mr.. Stein entered the building
from the rear and succeeded in getting
to the Office. The cash drawer in the
Office, he discovered, had been broken
open. The fire was overhead and to
all appearance had originated in the
loft. No one had been in this part of
the house during the day so far as
those employed in the store knew.
The flames had gained such Roadway
that it was apparent the only property
which could be saved were the books,
which were thrown out of the window
that had been left with open shutters
as we stated before. Scarcely were the
books in a place Of safety before the
flames drove the master of this fine
property and his faithful clerks out of
the building which had been their
pride, and which had served the people
of Union parish, so well as a depot for
their supplies when short crops were
pinching the scanty purse OF the far.
mers.
| from the Appeal
The building is total loss. 1t cost
about SIS 900 and is insured for about
half its value. The stock on hand was
immense. The firm carries always a
large stock and had been replenishing
for the year. The actual amount OF
the loss cannot at present be ascertaincd
but those most competent to judge es
innate it at from 100000 to Sl50,O0O.
The amout of Insurance on the stock
cannot at present be exactly arrived at
The origin OF the fire can only be
surmised. The position where it was
first seen had neither fire or lights
near by. 1t looks like the work of an
incendiary. The clerks report that
that they found the money drawer
broken open and robbed and the back
window open. 1t is thought that some
one concealed himself in the warehouse
on Sunday morning and after every
one had left robbed the drawer and
tried but failed to open the safe; then
raising the fire escaped through the
back window.
Mr.. Stein, with that energy that has
made him the leading merchant ir
Louisiana outside New Orleans, will
at once resume business in his ware
house.
