The LANDMAN CAsE.-The case of Ro-
dolph Landman, who is charged with the
murder of Charles Hidden, colored, was
fixed by Judge Cheevers for preliminary
examination on Thursday, but was contin-
ued until yesterday on account of the alb
sence of Messrs. E. N. Pugh and R. N.
Sims, attorneys for the prisoner. When
the matter was called up pursuant to the
reassignment, District Attorney Earhart
moved for a continuan ce in order that the
attendance of absent State witnesses might
be secured. These witnesses were the COM
panions of Hidden who entered the Land
man store with him just before the killing,
and who are said to have left that night on
the steamer Natchez for their homes up the
river. Counsel for defendant opposed the
motion for continuance and asked that
their client be admitted to bail. The fact
of the killing was admitted, but it was con-
tended that the absence of generalization
deprived the act of the elementary constit-
uent of the crime of murder and entitled
the prisoner to the privilege of bail. Judge
Cheevers inclined to this view of the case,
and ordered that Mr.. Landman be permit
ted to furnish bond in the sum of $4,000
for his appearance at the next criminal
term of the District Court. This was read
lily done, Messrs. Ben. Gibson, Jno. 7. No
Ian and NJ. Tobias, father-in-law of the ac-
cused, qualifying as sureties in the sum of
5000 ca CHI, and Mr.. Landman was released
from custody. 1t is reported that new and
important testimony bearing on the Cir
cumstances which Immediately preceded
the shooting, has been discovered, but the
main facts of the case are as given in the
CHIEF last week. The unfortunate affair is
deeply regretted by the accused and his
friends, and the distress it has occasioned
the immediate relatives of Mr.. Landman
has excited much sympathy. Nothing has
yet been heard from the family of the de-
ceased, who are said to reside i'll the parish
of st. Helena, but steps will be taken to as
certain their exact whereabouts, in order
that the money found on Hudden's person,
amounting to s2l So, may be transmitted
to them.

prominent citizen of the metropolis, spent
a short while in our town yesterday, having
stopped off from the steamer Natchez en-
route home from the Baton Rouge conven-
ton. He resumed his journey on the even
ing train, and had pleasant travelling COM
panion in the person of his namesake, Hon.
Morris Marks, and we venture to say that
the trip wasn't whit more monotonous
than the State convention itself.

December meeting last Monday evening,
and among other matters considered was
the proposed enlargement of the stage in

pressed willingness to take part in an
entertainment having for its object the
raising of funds with which to defray the

An interesting rumor reaches our ears to
the effect that while the coming year is in
its infancy-scarcely month old, in fact
a prominent and handsome young profess
sional gentlemen of our town will approach
the shrine of Hymen with one of Donald
sonyille's sweetest girls, young lady
whose charms of person, mind and manner
are the admiration of all who know her.
The prospective event is supposed to be
close secret, and we dare not say more at
present.

THE GLORY OF WASHING-
TON.

The visitor at this time realizes
that the glory of Washington is in
its trees. says a letter from the ia
tional capital. Every street and
avenue is lined with them; they
shade the parks and little triangles
and squares of green which the pc
culiar conformation of the city
places at almost every street cor
ner. Washington, with more than.
a hundred miles of trees In its
streets-not including those in the
parks-surely sets good example
TO other American cities, so many
of which have allowed their streets
to look like tunnels in broWn-stone
quarries or brickyards.
It is fortunate, too, in another re,
spect as a city ofresidence. Hav-
ing no commerce and no traffic in
its streets, it can maintain the
smooth asphalt payements and
make carriage-driying here easier
than on well-kept country Dad.
In one particular it is still far be-
hind the metropolitan standard,
The detestable brick sidewalks still
exist in almost all parts of the city,
and with their bulges and hollows
wrench the feet SO badly that it is
common thing for pedestrians TO
take to the streets, which are much
better adapted for walking than the
sidewalks. The squares, circles
and other parks alluded to are
special feature of the capital.
Many are beautifed with beds of
flowers set out from the govern
ment gardens and thoroughly cared
for. They furnish delightful out
looks for the houses about them,
and are continual pleasure to the
eye of the passer-by. Many Of the
public buildings are surrounded
with slopes of well-tended grass,
dotted with beds of flowers.

AN EDIToR,s DREAM.

He fell asleep after time, and
10! he dreamed again. And it
seemed to him vision, that, hav-
ing armed himself with certain
papers and books, he turned his
steps once more towards the palace,
and knocked at the gate.
"Hello is that you, again?" said
Peter s.What do you wish?"
LET those persons again come
FORTH" replied the editor; and
Peter this time made them all come
through the gate and stand out
side.
They came as before and uttered
the same cries as before.
"Why didn't you notice that
big egg sent you?" yelled the
first"
eft was rotten
aWhy didn't you write up my
soda fountain?" cried the druggist.
'sYou had your tickets printed at
the other Office" calmly replied the
editor.
"Why did you write up about old
Tomlinson's hens, and never speak
of my new gate?"
'sOld Tomlinson paid for his adj
yertisement, and you didn't. Here's
the bill p said the editor.
"Why did you spell my name
wrong in the programmed" groaned
the local talent.
"Take a look at this manuscript
of yours and see for yourself" said
the editor, with a grim smile.
The rest of the company yelled
their complaints in unison, and the
editor calmly sorted out series Of
bills for unpaid subscriptions, and
presented each with one and it was
SO when they received them they
tore their hair and rushed violently
down steep place into the sea,
and Peter, taking the editor calmly
by the hand, led him within the
York World.

THE TRAMPs' arIsTAKE.

They were two tramps, and they
were crossing a cornfeld in Flat
bush in search of watermelons.
The farmers scarecrow had fallen
up against the fence.
They armed themselves with des-
icated tomatoes and began pelting
the figure. Then they began to
make bets of a million dollars as to
which could plunk it in the back or
knock its hat off
AS the sport grew exciting they
approached nearer and nearer, and
were soon firing young pumpkins
at the nondescript.
'See where that last tomato
fetched him in the headT said one.
bet you can't come within a
mile of that shot |"
"Bet you a thousand dollars
"Done."
"Ill do better than that. Bet |
hit him before you dol"
Done"
And then to get the bulge on
each other they both started on q
dead run toward the object. To
make assurance doubly sure, they
ran to within a couple of feet of it
and then halted to take aim.
And then, as one went over the
fence and the other landed in
nearby ditch, the scarecrow picked
up hoe and, as it started in on
another row, it recited the follow
ing paragraph:
"I've been layin' fur you fellers
fur some time. I seed ye comm
an leaned over the fence ter give
ye a chance at that watermelon
patch. Ther next time ye come
around this way drop in an take
bite-ov the bulldog"
And the tramps made believe
they were dead, and didn't even
dare to laugh at the farmers back,
which looked as if he'd been shot
with tomato field

WRESTLING WITH A TELE.
GRAPfa POLE.

It was midnight, and the situa-
ton near the World Office. The
man was fearfally and wonderfully
full. He walked up to the fire..
alarm signal box and placed nick.
81 in it. Then he sat down on
the curbstone.
.Why don't the car start z
He received no answer.
sWhy don't the car start p
Still no answer.
Gimme back me fare, then Z"
It vas not returned.
Then he jumped up, grabbed the
telegraph pole around the waist
and attempted to trip it up. There
was a spirited tuggirg for several
seconds, and then be had made
terrific kick at the -'feet OF his adj
versary; and the result was that he
kicked himself over his own head.
He picked himself up and moved
of, saying:

JUMPING THE TRACK.

= whenever a man is killed in a
run-off,"" said a veteran trainman to
a reporter, "a great many people
who imagine that they are wiser
than they really are, wantaato know
why he did not save his life by
jumping. The fact of the matter is
that no one on train has a chance
to jump, except the engineer and
the fireman, for the reason that they
are the only persons who can sec
the danger ahead. Whenever an
accident occurs, it occurs SO quick.
ly that a passenger or trainman has
no time to do anything but trust to
luck to pull him through. / have
figured in a great many accidents
during my career as railroad man,
and | have arrived at the conclu-
sion that the best thing for any per-
son to do when a train jumps the
track or goes down an embankment,
is to hold on like grim death to the
first object they lay their hands on.
You would be surprised to know
how strong is the desire of many
trainmen to jump whenever the
wheels leave the rails, but the
sudden jolting and bouncing
which they receive so dazes them
that it is impossible for them to
jump. | was in a run-of one day
and was considerably amused when
the whole train was safely brought
to a stand-still, to see a long, lanky
fellow bound from the door Of a
baggage car down bank ten
feet high. He firmly believes to
this day that he would have been
killed if he had not jumped when he
did. Hundreds Of trainmen have
done the same thing. They get so
frightened that they will make per.
ilous leaps when the train is per
fectly still and all danger is past.
'.In run-of the baggage master
has the most dangerous position, as
the heavy trunks and the train
chest. loaded with links and chains,
are liable to fall on him and crush
him to death. Many a good fellow
has shared this fate.
mo man in railroad accident
can ten how he is coming out until
the danger is over, and escapes
from death often appear miracu-
lous, The nearest call I ever had
in my life was in the early days of
my railroading career. At the
Time I was brakeman on freight
train, and one night while we were
galloping along at the rate Of
twelve or fifteen miles an hour, the
on car top of which / was standing,
together with six others, left the
track and went down a bank thirty
feet high. / heard a crash and the
splitting of timber, and felt myself
tumbling down through the dark
ness, and that is about all l could
ever tell Of the accident, except
that, after l had got back some of
the mind which had been knocked
out of me / found myself lying on
the ground beside the cars, which
were in a pile and smashed to
pieces. l escaped without bruise."
