A Strange Story.

The San Francisco Examiner
publishes an exceedingly strange
story, which, IL true, makes the
circumstances perhaps the most
trsg!cally romantic that ever c.
CURED in California. It is to the ef-
feet that young and accomplished
woman of the town, known az
Molly Dinsmore, recently died in
that city, among whose possessions
were some valuable diamonds. A
plot was concocted to rob her body
after burial, and among those en-
gagged in it..was one George Morris, "a
lover of hers. One night the grave
was opened, aud Morris took from
the girls neck locket, in which
was slip Of paper, which he read
by the light of match. 1t was q
newspaper notice Of the girls birth,
and gave him the information she
was his own sister. Morris went
mad on the SPIT, and is now an in
mate of the Naps asylum. Here is
is a plot enough for frst-class
drama.

Railroad bonds in better demand

usual activity and excitement, arising
from developments in regard to affairs

understood, is not to be sold for year.
In addition to the sale OF these stocks the

appears that some parties with whom
Oregon Transcontinental had deposited
stocks as collateral and had loaned them

Subsequent developments in Northern

New York, 28.-The stock exchange
has been the scene of great excitement
since IL O'Clock. Northern Pacific and
its kindred stocks have been the great
features of speculation and shorts have
been more badly twisted than ct any
time since the famous list in Northern

books for the second mortgage loan.
Oregon Navigation sold as high as Ill

rise OF 33H per cent. from the closing
quotation on Saturday. Oregon Ina.
provement advanced to 40, Northern
Pacific preferred 81 to 49. common q to

was the purchase on Saturday by gym
dictate OF $4,000 shares Northern Pacific
preferred, 10000 shares common and
1000 shares Oregon Navigation from
the Oregon Transcontinental with a pro-
viso that the stocks were to be withheld
from the market for year. This places
the Oregon Trsnscontinentsl company
in an easy financial condition, and it is
further stated that the syndicate agrees
to furnish the company any further
sums of money il may need in future at 6
per cent. per snnum. The sharp rise IN
the Northern Pacific system caused q
general advance in other active shares
and prices rose to 2as, the most promi-
nent being Louisville & Nashville.

St. Landry democrat., 1884-10-18
Democratic Mass Meeting.

The public speaking and barbecue
came off as announced, on Thursday the
10th, ON the Courthouse grounds. A
large concourse of people, many hun
dreds in number, were present, listened
attentiyely to the speaking and were
bountifully fed upon barbecued beef
and mutton. The meeting organized
with Hon. j. NJ. Moore, as president,
and following presidents: Hon.
Henry L. Garland, Hon. t. S. Fontenot,
Hon. B. A. Martel, Hon. Paul Stage,
Hon. E. D. Estilette, Hon. J. NJ. Martin,
Abram Hartman, P. D. Richard, c. NJ.
Daily, John Roy, Sam Haas, l.. D.
Young, and C. w. Foreman; Judge
Moore called the meeting to order, in a
few forcible and well-timed remarks
followed by Henry L. Garland, Esq, in
a stirring and ringing ten minutes
speech. Hon. A. B. Irion, candidate for
Congress in this district, and Spencer K.
Thorpe, Esq, from Avoyelles, then adj
dressed the assemblage. The speeches
of these gentlemen were we'll received
and produced most excellent effect.
The meeting will undoubtedly be pro-
ductive of good results. The nominees
of the national Democracy, for presi-
dent and vice president, and the Demo-
cratic nominee for Congress will receive
the hearty support of the St. Landry
Democracy, and will doubtless obtain
the usual majority in this parish.
After the barbecue was over, the
crowd again assembled around the
speakers stand and listened to addresses
by Hon. j. NJ. Martin, John N. Ogden,
Esq, Thos. H. Lewis, Esq, and Joseph
Gibbs, Esq.
Excellent orderand good feeling were
maintained throughout the day and the
crowd dispersed in good humor.
The meeting adopted suitable resolu-
lions endorsing the Democratic nomi-
nees, and pledging party support to
them.

parish, was shot and probably fatally
wounded by his clerk, Michel FOntan.

ing the night by loud noise near the
store, and seeing some one nearby, called
who's there ~ but receiving no an
swer fired upon the man, who fell to
the ground, the ball having entered
sidewise and lodged against the spinal
column, inf1icting a wound that will
undoubtedly prove fatal. Investigation
revealed the fact that the wounded man
was none other than the owner of the
store, who is now in an unconscious
condition.-Sugar Planter.
