FIRE. - Last Friday morning at
about three o'clock, the stable building
on Landry street, occupied by Mr.. J. S.
Perkins, was discovered to be on fire.
The alarm was quickly given, and in a
short time the fire companies were on
the scene. The building was old and
burnt like finder, and in an hour and a
half there was nothing left but the
smoldering ruins. No attempt was
made to save it, the fremen directing
their attention to the protection of the
adjacent buildings which were in i'm
minent danger, and they succeeded Inv
saving them. The stock was turned
out as soon as the fire was discovered,
and was saved. All the vehicles were
saved except two, the property of two
drummers, which, together with the
harness and forage, were consumed.
The majority of Hon. A. B. Irion in
this District is about 40O0 Though
there was small vote poled in ST.
Landry compared with previous cleo
tions, and though Mr.. Swayze, native
of this parish, is personally very pop
ular gentleman, yet the Democracy
have been true to its colors, and stood
by the nominee Of the party. This is
shown by the tact nat Judge Irion has
fallen behind Cleveland to only an in
significant extent. We regret the leth-
argy of our people in this very impor-
tant election, but wish to emphasize the
fact here that there is no disatection to
the grand old party that from now
henceforward will control the destinies
of the United States.
