A Dallas, Texas, SPECIAL Of the 18th
inst, to the Galveston Nerss, gives the
following particulars Of the capture of
a man wanted in the parish Of East
Baton Rouge for a murder committed
last June: On the 18th of last June,
at place called Fridge's Store, IN the
parish of East Baton Rouge, Craft
Holmes was killed. A man named
Green Watson and four more persons
were indicted for the killing. They
fled the country, or at least Green
Watson did, and the Governor offered
reward of $500 for his arrest. A
few days ago Mr.. Jack Duncan received
letter from Mr.. J. d. Castor, of New
Orleans, saying that Watson was badly
wanted in Louisiana, and it was be-
lieved he was at Caddo, |. T., where
he was going under the name of Tom
Tompson. He inelosed description
of him. Mr.. Duncan Immediately set
to work to find his man. From the
express agent at Caddo he found that
a man answering that description and
going under the name of Tom Temp
kins WAS working on the farm of D. B.
Hampton, near that place. Mr. Dun
can left here Saturday night, found
Tompkins, and brought him to Dallas
Sunday night. He is dressed in
rough garments, and answers the de-
scriptlon given of him in every way.
He denied that he has killed anybody, |
and says his name is Tompkins. He |
refuses to talk, only saying that he
came to Caddo about two months ago,
and that he came by the railroad. Mr.. |
Castor and fellow-oficer, Mr.. Cain,
arrived in Dallas last evening, by the
Texas and Pacific road, for the priso-
ner. They never saw him before, but
are satisfied he is the man wanted.
The prisoner refuses to criminate him.
self, and adheres to his story that he
s Tompkins, and not Watson.
When Mr.. Duncan arrested him be
lad on his person a letter from Miss
cynthia Lee, which had the neigbbor-
rood news; 1t WAS from Fridge's
Store, and in all probability the cor
between the two was the
means of locating the prisoner. Miss
cynthia says they had a picnic not far
rom where she lived, and they all had
/ good time, married only by fight,
n which five men were killed and
wounded.

Assaulted by a Negro HoOdIum

We are informed that quite seri
Gus difficulty occurred last Tuesday
morning in front of L. Kaufman's store
between Mr.. Geo. TheiIman, of Sugar,
town, and Ike Leblue, mulatto in the
employ of Mr.. J. B. Watkins. Our
informant gave us the particulars
about as follows Ike Leblnc was
sitting in his hack in front of L. Kauf-
mans, when Theilman, who is running
hack to and frou Sugartown, came
up, and wishing to get near the store
asked the negro to move his vehicle,
which he refused to do, and Theilman
then caught hold of the horses and led
them ont of his way, whereupon the
negro called him d-n s-n of b..
This aroused the German blood in
Theilman, and he made at the negro,
who was armed with a loaded buggy
whip, with which he struck Theilman
a severe blow on the forehead, making
an ugly wound and staggering him SO
much that time enough elapsed before
be could advance; to allow DR.. Knapp
to get to the scene of action before
another move could be made. DIR.
Knapp caught the negro, and thus
brought hostlities to a close.
The negro claimed that Theilman
had knife which be was going to
use, but parties around say that no
knife was in sight. The excitement
caused by the disturbance shook the
negro's faith in his felIow-mortals, and
he fed Immediately, and has not been
seen since, at least not in these parts.
We regret very much that such
trouble as this should occur in our
town, but men should not make use Of
the words used by Ike, as it always
brings trouble.

Exposition Rates.

We reproduce the following from
the New Orleans States in order to let
the management of the Louisiana
Western Railroad know what other
lines propose doing for the Exposi-
ton in the way of cheap passenger
rates, and sincerely hope that this
road will give TO our people more rea-
sonable rates than was accorded them
during the late Worlds Exposition,
for certainly if passengers can be car
ried from Chicago to New Orleans and
return for SO, the Louisiana Western
can afford to make the price not to
exceed SIS from tins point for round
trip tickets; as the distance is so
much shorter: Mr.. r. II. Carrot, the
popular ticket agent of the Louisville
and Nashville Road, has retained from
trip through New York and Canada,
where he visited friends and relatives.
In conversation with States reporter,
Mr.. Carrot said: al found all
through the North q great interest
manifested in the success of the Elk
position, and the people talk about it,
and l have no doubt there will be
thousands of them flocking to see it
during the coming winter. ] do not
speak officially, but believe the rail
roads will do all they can to make the
Exposition success, and that they
will put on round trip tickets from
Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati and
other points in the West, at $40 for
the round trip, in order to bring a
large crowd of strangers here to wit,
ness the opening.

Under the above heading our con
frerc of the Commereial, in his last
issue, makes nse of the following Ian
guage, which to say the least of it, i.
uncalled for He says: THE people Of
Lake Charles viii long remember how
efficiently they 1.-THE GounciD have taken
care of their interest in providing them
with some security against the devour'
ing element which has played such sad
havoc among them of late" Now,
the only word we object to in that
expression is the word some. Our
friend would have the people under
stand that they have had no protee-
ton in the past, and that not on &C.
count of the inefficiency of the engine
SO much as the fault of those who have
manipulated it. For in the same con-
nection he says that the old engine is
to be turned over to the colored folks,
and in their hands it will prove an
efficient assistance in case of fire, etc.
This, to our mind, is clearly an effort
to create an impression which cannot
be substantiated by facts, for we hare
had some protection in tie past, as
every citizen will testify, who owns
property nearest to the fires VIC have
had. While we believe that the en-
CINE in the hands of our colored peo-
pie will do us good work, still to say
that in the past, in the hands of some
of our best citizens, it has offered no
protection, but in the hands of the col
ored people it will be effective, etc,
is to take up a tune that has been
whistled by the chronic grumblers of
Lake Charles until it is unfit to be
used as warp for weaving, even where
the filing is mud, and should not be
used by editors who claim to repre-
sent the interests of the very mon thus
slured

REPUBLICAN papers throughout the
country are making a great 10 do
over the result of the late Ohio cleo
ton, which in fact amounts to moth
ing. Ohio is usually a Republican
State, especially when the Democratic
nominee for Governor declares in favor
of mixed schools, as Mr.. Hoadly did
in the past campaign. Too much
mush will choke a dog, That which
is Democracy in Louisiana should he
Democracy in Ohio. The defeat of
Hoadly is only just rebuke to dem
agogue, and will serve to strengthen
the Democracy of the Old Buckeye
State, as it will show to the world that
the Democracy are not advocates of
mixed schools nor promoters of false
ideas.

THE Philadelphia Press says: The
great majority of the people pay no
attention to their health or their men,
tai sanity. Their whole time and en-,
ergy are devoted to securing wealth
and distinction. They leave their
health to the doctor, their quarrels to
the lawyers, and their souls to the
ministers. A little education m the
right direction would change this.
But it may be asked why pipe to those
who viii not dance. 1t may be that
people will some time learn that health
and mental sanitation are worth more
than wealth and distinction.
