Cora LOUISE FITzEEREITER, the beloved
daughter of Charles FitEenreiter and Babetts
c. Coos, was born February 81, 1859, in New
Orleans, where the years Of her early child
hood were passed, and to a large circle Of
friends in that city will the announcement Of
her death bring sorrow and regret
How many can remember the sweet, en-
gaging child, so dear to her parents the
pride and Joy Of that dear relative with
whom most Of her time was spent.
Dear Cora, how difficult it is TO realize
that "Thou art gone )" that thy short life on
earth is closed, for thee its cares and sorrows
are over Thou art forever blessed shelter
ed in the everlasting arms, thou hast reached
the desired haven of eternsl peace but oh
the desolation of heart to those who loved
thee, who were the daily and hourly receipt
emit Of thy fond and dutiful attentions. Thy
motheri what manifold recollections Of thy
loving care the word recalls. God in His
infinite mercy comfort her, and enable her
and all thy dear ones, to look forward to the
hour of reunion In that world where partings
never come and In whose vocabulary the
word "good-byep has no place. 8. g.

CALcAsIEU PARISH, La, /
Nov. Z, 1884.
Editor Lake Charles Echo:
A short time since you published
an article by "An Eye Witness, Z
which purports to give true history
of the killing of John Nicely; never
was written a more wilful perversion
of facts, the writer not satisfied with a
palpable falsehood concerning the ac-
tnal occurrence which resulted in the
death of Nicely, went so far as to de-
fame the character of the dead.
Nicely never went to a ball in his
life, to raise a disturbance; never
"cleared out the room, taking it all
for himself" our pine woods people
are not of such patient tempers. Nicely
was a hard working, honest yonng
man, who defrauded none. He was a
warm friend and good companion; if
imposed upon he resented it strongly,
and as be feared nothing and would
submit to no imposition, it was well
understood that he would be treated
justly.
When Eye Witness was put on
the witness stand at the Coroner's in
quest, he testified that be knew moth
ing about it, that he saw nothing, etc.
His memory has become refreshed in
a most wonderful manner since. Why
did he not swear to these things ard
thereby secure a verdict from that
jury of justifable homieide2 This is
the truth, and will be sworn to: Nicely
went to the ball and behaved himself,
he asked a young lady to dance with
him, she refused; he asked another
and she went on the floor with him
willingly, she did not pull away from
him, she did not fall down in the
struggle; he did not advance on his
murderers but retreated into corner
asking them to let him alone; he ras
shot in the back, as he spun around
in his death agony from the ball in his
breast. The lights were not extin-
guished before the shooting began.
One at least, who served on the Cor
oner's jury, saw it all, and will tell it
all in open court.
This I hope will close the case
through the medium of the press let
the matter rest until court, the dead
lie in his grave, the quick are here to
answer for their crime. JUsTlcE.

We return thar

We return thanks to our Clerk of
Court, Mr.. Thad. Mayo, and attaches
of his office, for missing copies of the
Calcasieu Press. And, inasmuch as
these numbers do not entirely COM
plete the volume, We would be under
deep obligations to those who may
have any old numbers, if they would
send them to us. The Caloasieu Press
was begun in 1855, and therefore one
who may have numbers need not think
them too old. Our object is to have
them bound for future reference, as
we think these volumes will be of
great interest, as they certainly will
show the progress of Caleasieu's in
dustries, political, educational, social
and moral development.

The EIecrEor,

Up to going to press the official re.
turns Of A counties in the close State
Of New York, still go to prove thai
Cleveland and Hendricks have car
ried the State BY about 1900 plurality.
1t is not expected by either side, Re
publican or Democrat, that the re
turns from the Is counties, vet to be
heard from, will change the above
figures. So we think we can safely
say to our readers the thing is settled,
and everybody can settle down to
their business and rest assured we are
TO have a good Government for the
next four years.

On the 18th of October the EcHo
challenged the Lake Charles Com.
nerc'aI to snbstantiate certain charges
which the editor of that paper had
made about "detracting" the Demo
cratic nominee for Congress, but thu.
far he has dodged+the issue, and retort-
ed by asking rs to explain what school
boy of 10 years of age could readily
comprehend. The Echo meant exactly
what il said, Mr.. Mccormick; now
we would like for you. to make good
your "detracting" knowledge. Toe
the mark, yourself, Mr.. Mccormick,
before you retire to that silent posi-
ton You spoke of in your last issue.
With this, the Echo drops the subject.
The Lake Charles echo. [volume] (Lake Charles, Parish of Calcasieu, La.) 1876-1898, 1884-11-15

1t has been in our mind for some
time, 10 speak of what we think a
very dangerous condition of things to
our town. The very first desideratum
in the performance of the duties of a
Town Council, is a close watch over
the health of the people. All other
interests Of town are subseryient to
this one, and without which-good
health-no town can prosper.
The great and groaeing cesspool of
poison permitted to be annually aecu-
mulated on the lake border, in front
of our town, is the one we are now
compelled to call public attention to
and cry out against, and we consider
it the duty of our authorities to take
such steps as will compel an abatement
of the accumulation of debris from
saw and single mills which are I'M
dergoipg daily decomposition, and
distributing poisonous gases which
are calculated to breed the most fright
full results.
1t seems to us that there is no great
difficulty in the way to a rapid dispo.
sition of those accumulstions. CAN'T
be said that the daily accumulation of
saw dust and debris can't be burned
nightly9 That it should be, there is
no question. Then, why not do it.
And if our mill men, who are as much
interested in the good health of our
town and vicinity as other citizens,
understand the necessity of this, we
feel confident that they will take
steps to abate the nuisance at once.
If they should not, however, our au-
thorities should take the matter in
hand. We are sorry to have to speak
out SO plainly on this subject, but we
find ample reason for our justification.
