SHOOTING AFFBAY. - 4 scrimmage &C.
Cured in Mr.. J. e. Landry's store at La-
croix settlement, on Sunday last, in which
Andrew Baker and Henry jackson, both
colored men, were the principal parties,
they becoming involved in a rough and
tumble fight. While they we're engaged in
this amusement several shots were fired
and Baker received two wounds, one in the
breast and one in the thigh. He was at
first thought to be fatally hurt, but his con-
dition has since improved and he will no
doubt recover. He has made an affidavit
against Mr.. Landry, proprietor of the store,
charging him with doing the shooting by
which affiant was wounded, and another
against Jackson for shooting at him. Mr..
Landry has furnished an appearance bond
of $50, but Jackson is in Jail, having been
as yet unable to furnish u bond of $3.50.
CRIMINAL CULLlNGs.-Nelson Washing
ton, Justice of the Peace of the fifth ward
week on an affidavit made before Justice
Martinez by District Attorney Gaudet,
charging Washington with extortion and
oppression in Office for illegally demand
ing and receiving $40 as costs from Henry
Miller on the 9th of June. The accused
furnished an appearance bond of $500,
with Alfred Stephens as surety, conditioned
for his appearance before the District
Court on the first Monday of September.
Gustave Poydras, charged with embez-
zling 81 65 belonging to Ernest Enalhartt,
on the 30th of July, has furnished bond
of $50 to appear before the District Gonrt

Jnlienne Anderson made affidavit before
Justice Brandy of the sixth ward on the
21st ult., charging Thos. Mcneil with
making an assault on Allen Anderson with
a double barreled shotgun ON the 18th of
July. The particulars of this case were
published in the CHIEF of the 18th ult. Nc
Neil shot Anderson in the left arm, infict-
ing a wound that was not believed to be
dangerous at the time, but which festered
and became gangrenous through lack of
surgical .sttsstion, necessitating an ampu-
tatiop of the limb, from the effects of which
the patient died. Mcneil was arrested
shortly after the death OF Anderson and is
now in the parish Jail.
Alfred Julien, Who seems to be an invet-
crate and incorrigible thief, is in Jail again
charged with his standing offense, petty lar
ceny. The property upon which he is now ac-
cused of laying unauthorized hands is
satchelof clothing belonging to a colored
man working on the New Hope plantation.
There were about twenty prisoners in the
parish Jail yesterday. most of whom are
charged with the commission of minor Of
lenses.

There is still some doubt rs to the locali-
ty of the race to take place on the 2;srd inst,
between the horses of Messrs. Jos. St.
Amant of Ascension and Edmond Selassie
OF Livingston. It was agreed that it should
come off at Port Vincent, but we under
stand that Mr.. st. Amant objects to that
place on account of the inferiority of the
track. It has been suggested that the
owners of the horses toss up for choice of
ground, and this plan may be adopted as
the best means of settling the disputed
point.
The new Board of School Directors for
this parish is to meet at the Office of Judge

who was the only member of the old Board
excepting the late Dr.. Love complinented

has been recommended in his stead. We
have not heard who is likely to be named to
fill the vacancy caused by the death of
DR.. Love.

Dangerous Green Peas.

Those who love timed green peas
should, it appears, arm themselves with
suspicion before making purchase.
In police case at Liverpool, it was
stated that dealers in these dainties do
not give any warning to the public
even when they know their goods to be
poisonous "unless their customers are
suspicious persons" When this hap
pens. on goes label stating that
"these peas are slightly colored, but
insufficiently TO be injurious to health. !"
But any confiding. customer Is left in
ignorance as to the addition of color
ing matter, the belief of the dealers be-
ing, apparently, that this is one OF the
instances in which it would be folly to
be wise. Jnasmuch, however, az the
coloring matter often contains poison,
we think it would be only fair to give
the public some choice in the matter.
1t was proved by tho public analyst
during the hearing of the case which
led to these interesting revelations that
the tin Of peas sold by the defendant
to the plaintiff contained two grains Of
crystalized sulphate of copper. This
quantity is sufficient to exercise an in
furious effect on human health, al
though not, perhaps, to a dangerous
degree, and there can not be much
doubt, therefore, as to the necessity of
stopping the sale. The defendant could
only urge that the public insist on hay-
ing green peas. and. as the required
color must be produ ed by artificial
means, he resorted to what he con-
sidered the least harmful adulterant.
That may be so. but all tho more need
to warn wouldbe purchasers to beware
of carrying their love Of beauty to the
extent Of iniuring the coats OF their
stomachs. Lonton Globe.

The New short Route to Kansas
and the West.


Attention is called to the new Kan
sas City railroad line now completed
and in operation between Memphis
Tenn, and Kansas City, Mo. BY this
new route the south and west is
brought into close relation. Saving
several hundred miles and many hours
travel between the two sections. Its
in fact now the only practical route
from the south to all points in Kansas,
Missouri. Colorado ana all western
states. A through train with Pullman
Palace Sleeping cars and elegant day
coaches leaves Memphis daily, running
through to Kansas City without chang
Ing cars. where it arrives in time to
make connection in the Grand Union
Depot with all trains leaving Kansas
City. For emigrants to the Pacific
coast and the Northwest, or for home
seekers in Kansas and Missouri, time
and money Is saved by this short route
as against the circuitous routes via, st,
Louis, heretofore the only outlet.
Special low rates are made for this
class OF business and all are carried
through TO Kansas City In first class
