of all jury cases until the September
term To this a large lnaiosit, Of the
bar interposed objections.
On Tuesday morning, Judge Hnds-
peth having ascertained that the Only
cases If small pox in the parisl were
confined to the vicinity OF Nlriteville,
on Bayou Bnuf, twenty miles from
Opeiousas, ordered the Sheriff to pro
ceed 10 cite witnesses for court. except
such as we're residents Of Bayou Bout.
There are only two of the ysnirs OF
inrors from that section; tkss we're
drawn for the second week, and have
been already excused. All criminal
casss where parties reside on the Bayou

Terrible Fate of Two Children.

FORT WORTH, Tex, April II.
A frightful holocaust occurred here Sum
day afternoon about one o'clock. Pedestri-
ans on the main street observed a dry-goods
box burning in vacant lot about fifty feet,
from the sidewalk Several stopped to
watch the flames, while others went to the
spot, fearing that pile of lumber would be-
ignited and set fire to the rear OF some store
houses. One man took long rail to turn the
box over, when he saw child's foot protruding
from the burning straw in the box. He
called out that there was child in the box,
which drew a large crowd to the scene. He
succeeded in breaking the box and turning it,
over, when the bodies of two white chill
dren about eight years of age were exposed
to view. A bucket of water eXtinguiShed
the burning straw around them. 1t was dis
covered that they were both dead, though
but little charred. Their clothes were
burned off, though they were easily recog-
niZed. No one heard them cry, and it.
was at once thought that they were killed
before being placed in the box. The father
of the little boy, j. T. Howard, was arrest
ed, but afterwards released. Two small
colored boys who were short time before,
seen playing with the children were arrest
ed but nothing could. be learned from them.
Mrs. White, the mother of the little girl,
says the child left her home only a short
time before. The general opinion now is
that the children got into the box to hide.
from their playmates, and the boy, who had
cigarettes, in attempting to light one Of
them fired the straw, which suffocated both
of them INSTANTLY

The Postal Money Order System.
WAsH1NGroS. April II

WASHINGTON, april II.
The notifications made in the postal
money-order system authorized by Congress
at its last session are'to go into effect about
September 1. The act left it discretionary
with the Postmaster General as to the time
when the new rates should begin, but speci-
fled that it should be within six months from
the approval of the Measure by the Presi-
dent, which was given March 3. The six
months limit will expire September 8,
though it is found inpracticable to make the
proposed changes before the first of that
month. The new law provides for postal
notes. for sums less than five dollars, which.
are to cost three cents. The fees for money,
orders Of greater amounts are also reduced
quite largely.

IDENTIFY predicted that the increase during the
past year will be very satisfactory.

The Prince of Wales Unveils n Statue in
Memory of Prince Louis.
LoNpoN, Jan. 13-The Prince of Wales to-
day unveiled the statue at the Royal Military
Academy Woolwich, erected to the memory
of the French Prince Imperial by the sub
scriptions of $4,000 officers and men of the
British army. General Lord Wolseley,
Prince Lucien Bonaparte, Due DeBassano
and a large and distinguished company as
sisted at the unwilling. In his remarks the
Prince of Wales said: at is obvious this
short ceremony is not political one in any
sense of the word; we are inaugurating a
monument to the memory of a young and
gallant Prince who fell fighting for the Queen
of England"
After tracing the career of the Prince I'M
perial to the time of his death, the Prince of
Wales concluded:
"His virtues, his blameless life, his cour-
age, his obedience to others will always prove
a bright example to cadets educated at Wool
wich, who, when they gaze on the statue in
augurated to-day, will see the features of the
young and brave Prince who died with his
face to the foe"
The Prince of Wales was accompanied by
his two sons and by the Dukes of Edinburgh
and Cambridge. The Queen sent two wreaths.

tan medals to the patients in Herbert Hospi-

The funeral procession instead of going

the foot of which the orations were delivered

farewell to the great patriot.
The mayor said Nice was proud to receive
as precious trust the illustrious remains of
Gambetta. The privilege which had been
grudged her enabled her to attest her French
Republican sentiments.
The project said a voice from the tomb
cried: Forget barren rivalries; think of
France always, and only of France"
After these speeches a member of the
Gambetta family requested there be no
more.
At nightfal the crowd continued to file
past the catafaque without any sign OF di-
minishing, and Gambetta's friends, in the
absence of the municipal councillors, who
had retired had to interfere and order the
coffin lowered into the family vault Rain
