The District Court opened in this
parish on Monday last for civil
business. But two lawyers (Augus-
tin and Baquie) were present; not a

for the first time in many years the

trying any case.
The commissions of tae newly
elected officers were spread on the
minutes, the appointments of depu-
ties were recorded and approved,
and an air of serene mildness pre-
vailed.

said to be owing to the fact that the owners
Of the potteries have determined that all
wares shall be made full size. 1t appears that
crooks and jugs have heretofore not been
made so, whicn has caused much disSatisfac-
tion among consumers. To correct this the
manufacturers have served notices that all
wares must be made full size, and in answer
to this the potters demanded an increase in
price for their manufacture, which increase
has been refused. The strike will throw
several hundred men out of employment, as
it will not only include potters, but will nee
essarily take in all kinmen, who will have
nothing to do if no ware is made 1t is said
that there is a very large amount of ware on

are anxious to resume work at any price
The all-absorbing topic of discussion is the
probable outcome of the conference at

that it is useless to continue the strike any
longer, since number of pits are now running
unintelTuptedly, with the prospects of the re.
naming pits getting all the men wanted

nothing further than that it would be for
the miners themselves TO say whether they
will resume work at the price offered. Ith

CHICAGO, Sept 9.-Charles Downie, who
killed his brother William on Friday after
noon, appears to be rapidly losing his mind.
He was greatly agitated when he looked upon
the face of his dead brother at the funeral
Sunday, and since that time he has walked
necessarily about his cell. During Sunday
night he talked continually about the boys
who were waiting outside to kill him.
Later he was discovered with q
rope around his neck trying to hang himself.
He imagines he sees his parents and his muir
dered brother, and asks willie" to pray fol
him. Il did not mean to harm you, he said
"forgive me, won't youP Again he would
imagine he saw butterflies on the walls,
and all sorts of things.
