Major Rogers aud party arrived from
the interior last Friday night for the
purpose Of locating the O. p. Il. sxtsn-
sion from Port Moody 10 Coal Hsrbof.
The written instructions have not yet
arrived, bat the Major viii 90 on IN 40
oordance With telegram received from
Mr.. Van Horne, asking him 10 locate
this line. II 10 intended 20 run the line
from Port Moody down the soath shore
Of Barnard Inlst 20 Coal Harbor. In
reply 10 question Major Rogers said
the locating Of this line did not imply
the abandonment Of the middle route
at all. In his epinion the railway COM
pany will need at least nine miles OF
<wharvea on the inlet. The wharf and
harbor accommodations 81 Port Moody
were altogether insufficient. and there
would be wharves constructed from
Oeal HArbor all the way up. The pen
insulA between the iules aud the Fraser
River voaId eventually be like the
mouths OF the Mississippi-branchee
would shoot ous from the main line OF
railway, touchins every harbos that vss
worth seeking. There might be q
branch. via Burnahy Lake. 10 Enolish
Bay, and one 10 New Westminster. He
did not think there was any probability
that the syndicate vould leave this city
and harbor without railway connection.
Major Rogers' present headquartsrs are
at the end Of The Nsrth Road. and be
intended to begin operations yesterday.

A SOCIAL SENSATION.
New Orleans Excited Over the Sad Sequel to
Brilliant Marriage.

NEW ORLEANS, May A. Eleven months ago
the social sensation of the city was the brilliant
wedding at the cathedral of the beautiful
daughter of Chief justice Edward Bermudez, of
the Supreme Court Of Louisiana, to Henry Far
gas, lieutenant of artillery in the army of
France The ceremony was performed by the
late Archbishop Perehe, assisted by Bishop
Leroy and accompanied by the most impressive
religious and social accessories The groom was
young and handsome and the bride of noble
ancestry, the acknowledged queen of our creole
bellies, while the acquaintance and courtship
were the poetry of romance. After the wedding
the happy couple left for Chicago and New York
and then for Europe
Now the sad sequel comes in the latest news
from Paris whispered with dismay from lip to
lip. The story is that while the Lieutenant was
engrossed at distant point, the Colonel of his
regiment at Paris lay siege to the heart of the
young wife, and when the Lieutenant returned
he found a state of affairs existing that to his
mind justified his taking the life of his com
manding officer. He cabled message to the
family of his wife to come and get their daugh-
ter and then fled the country to avoid the pen
atty of his crime Mrs. Bermudez has already
left for Europe to bring home her unhappy
child. The details are meagre, but this is the
substance of the narrative. Further advces
are anxiously awaited None who knew the lady
in the case of the unsulled honor of the family,
and the tender and religious care of her raising,
harbor for moment any thought of her guilt
while they mourn the sad event that has cast a
shadow over her young life.

INDIANA POLITICS.
How the Democrats of Monroe County Were
Cheated by Ring.

How the Democrats of Monroe County Were
Cheated by Ring.
Special to the indianapolis journal.
BLOOMINGTON, May 3-The most notable
political meeting ever held in Monroe county
was the Democratic convention, to-day, to select
delegates to the different conventions. For sew
eral years there has been a ring" in town who
hare dictated and controlled every action of the
party, and it was the intention of the voters to,
if in any way possible, elect delegates that rep
resented the people The first motion brought
on the fight and it continued till the crowd ad
iourned in disgust. When the time arrived the
meeting was called to order, and the candidates
were nominated for permanent chairman, the
outcome of which was that Eli Millen, the choice
of the ring, was easily selected, and hardly
had he taken his seat when another
of the same faction moved that the chair
appoint committee Of five to select the dele
gates; and here the fun began. Judge Pittman
opposed this saying that this convention did not
assemble to have delegates appointed by five
men who had been selected by the ring before
land, and succeeded in getting through an
mendInent for the house TO select their dele
;ates and instruct them accordingly. When it
anne to the instructions for a congressman,
Hon J. W. Cooper's friends insisted on having
an Inspector but the chair refused the privilege,
when Captain Shoemaker stepped forward and
said that he intended to see that fair count
was made. The chairman ordered him away,
but the Captain was stubborn, when the police
were called, but none near and the chair
man said he would resign, and stepped aside.
