STUFFED BALLOT BOXES.
The Louisiana Election in New Orleans
Farce and MOckery.

New ORLEANS, Apr. "a.
Mayor Bernbau published in this mornings
Picayune, an address to the people of New
Orleans, expressing condemnation of the
course of proceedings, and the manner in
which the election was conducted. He states
all the election polls were taken possession of
by an organized band commissioned, as
deputy sheriffs, numbering from 800 to 300
who usurped the entire control of the cleo
tion inaueurating such a system of intimida-
ton as to destroy for the entire day all pros
pects of fair, free expression of the popular
will. The inspectors of the election were in
most instances, denied admission to polling
places and in some cases driven from the
polls. After further pointing out unlawful
acts. the Mayor SAYS "Such an election as
this has been but mere mocking, a defiance
of the people and is in the law and justice
but sham election" The Picayune editor
ially urges the people to take action and sIg-
gests that mass meeting be held to deiiber-
ate upon the proper course to pursue. The
returns for the city are not half completed.
Full returns will not be obtainable until to-
night. The most single success achieved bv
opposition to McEnery was in the city of
Baton Rouge and East Baton Rouge parish
where Stevenson, the republican candidate
for Governor and the anti-McEnery ticket
received one thousand majority. Two ballot
box suffers had been sent to Baton Rouge
from New Orleans but we're discovered by
the people and placed in jail before their
labors we're completed,

amounting TO several hundred bales. The
cotton was on fire in three places when found
leaving little doubt that the fire was incendi-
ary in origin. The flames cut Oh all the
stairwsys and il WAS fortunate that the fire
occurred after the mill closed for the day.
As il was few women were in the weaving
room. The FIRE in the tower cut off their es.
cape by the stairs, and they made their exit
from the building by the escape. The flames
spread rapidly through the cotton and the
superintendent, after striking the alarm, tried
with others to stop the headway of the fire
by the use of the Distinguishing apparatus at
the mill. One of the men who aided was
badly burned about the face and hands.
When the firemen arrived the tower was
mass of flames. and the burning cotton sent
forth dense black smoke which greatly inn
peded their work. Despite the efforts of the
firemen the flames spread SO rapidly as TO be
beyond control. The burning cotton in the
basement filled the mill with sitting smoke.
rendering it impossible for the firemen to
work inside. The flames climbed the ele-
water shaft. and through the tower to the
stories above. Soon after seven o'clock the
flames were issuing from the upper stories.
At eight o'clock the whole interior was a
mass of flames. At $50 o'clock the roof
fell in, carrying the floors to the basement.
The south half of the east mill fell with
tremendous crash. At 1890 O'Clock there was
nothing left of the mill but the tower and
portions of the walls, with the exception of
the low er story OF the engine house. The
loss will amount to about $500, 900.
The mill was built in 1873; was of brick,
five stories high. basement tower in thh
center, Afour story ell in the rear contained
the engine room, which was saved. What Is
left ofythe mill will have to be torn down.
The company had a capital Of $3.50. 900, and
ran two mills. The mill ran about 10000
spindles and 1000 looms, and employed about
500 handf with weekly paw roll of $1,000.
In the state of public feeling here there is
a strong opinion that the fire is OF incendary
origin. The time of the discovery and the
fact that the cotton was burning in three
places, is regarded as unmistakable evidence
that the fire was set.
