accidental death at the Brooklyn club, Clinton

at the club about o'clock, with Mr.. Oman, q
friend. whom he had proposed TOR membership.
While dinner was preparing he sat in the parlor
In conversation with Judge Calvin T. Pratt
Senator James F. Pierce, II. III. Wheeler and a
few other gentlemen. The principal subject OF
conversation was the sudden death of William
II. Vanderbilt and its effect on the stock
market. After quarter OF an hour or so Mr.
Patchen went to closet in the basement
The bartender suddenly heard a heavy fall and
ran into the room. The door leading into the
cellar was open, and Mr.. Patchen lay doubled
up at the foot of the stairs. The bartender
called for help. and Judge Pratt, Senator Pierce
and several other gentlemen hurried down
stairs. An attempt was made to help Mr..
Patchen to his feet, when IL was discovered
that his neck was broken and he was dead.
Mrs. Patchen was also summoned, and was
distracted with grief. Coroner Menninger gave
permit for the removal OF the body to the

THE NEW SOUTH.

The Indianapolis Journal pub
lished one day last week the fol-
lowing letter from Judge Baldwin
on the New South
For three weeks I have talked
with everybody l could reach
black and white, rich and poor
,in::New Orleans and the Red river
country. 1t seems to me that the
new South is a coming fact that in-
,terests everybody.
The South is full of elements of
wealth that, rightly handled and
developed, will make her in TWEEN
ty-five years the rival of New Eng
land. She is richer in lumber, iron
and coal, climate and cost of living
than the most favored regions OF
the North. Besides that, the Miss
issippi river is the gateway and
waterway to trade richer even in
the end than that Of the old world
enjoyed by New York City
Among the attractions Of the great
exposition is a model of the pro-
posed Eads ship railway, which
seems to me bound to be put into
successful operation in the next ten
wears, and which will divert to New
Orleans the China and East Asian
trade. The cotton industry is only
half developed. 1t is now founc
that the seed is more valuable thar
the fiber. By and by, when the Sc
cret of making sugar successfully
is naturalized in the cane regions
which is, for one set of men--th'
farmers-to grow the cane and dc
nothing else, and for another set
the manufacturer, to own and ope
rate the sugar mills, and do thu
manufacturing and nothing else
the South will, with the aid of tn
protective tariff, furnish sugar TO
at least 60,OOO,OO0 people. Th
next step will be to set the cotto1
factory down beside the cotton fiel
and sugar refinery beside the cane
field and sugar mill, instead c
sending raw sugar and cotton t
New York and New England, an
then carrying both back in tn
shape of the manufactured article
and thus paying tribute and n
light tribute, either to the me
chants of the North.
The South is poor in money ar
way behind the times in enterprls
Her railway system is hardly
dozen years old; vast tracts
country of untold natural resourc
are yet to be opened up. The
are no banks to speak of, and b
few school houses, as compare
The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1885-04-29

found no bank within one huhofeo
miles; yet, this town OF 2'sooo
in the midst of an agricultural re-
gion not inferior to Shelby ana
Johnson counties. Money COM
mands Is to 30 per cent per annum'
The war swept away every thing,
and the slave system left the peo-
pie as helpless as children in Or
eanizing labor and developing
their means. Since then the new
South has made its appearance and
it has come to stay. A new gene
ration is fast coming to the front,
which is bound, in time, to emu
late the thrift, enegy and inventive
industry of the North, and out OF
poverty and necessity to find the
road to wealth and prosperity, such
as was never dreamed Of even in
the old slave days.
| say to all young men, as would
have said the immortal H. G., 600
South, young man. Go South and
grow up with the country" Dur
ing my brief stay I saw a hundred
chances to make independent for
tunes. For example. The North
writes and publishes the school
books south of the Ohio. Suppose
an enterprising publisher should
make headquarters at Chattanooga
and induce leading Southern men
to write school books. An arith-
mctic written by some man like
Bishop McTyeire would drive out
Northern competitors and make the
fortune of its author and publisher.
And so on to the end of the chap
ter. A good banker could coin
money in almost any Of the larger
Southern cities.
| 1t is all nonsense about life and
property being insecure in at least
two-thirds of the South. 1t is pos
sible that there are places like Co
piah county, Miss, where a North
erner would be unsafe ) but in ths
Red river country | found social or
: der as perfect as in any county il
Indiana. In Louisiana local op

it is enforced in the country with
, vim worthy even of Maine. In tn
jail of Rapides Parish there is

and denied bail because of well
defined suspicion of his shooting
negro. Imprisonment for carryln
pistols is quite common. | foun

That Fortune of Sixty Millions.

The readers Of the States will re-
member that some days ago an in
terview with Mr.. Alex We'll, of
Homer, La, was published, in
which he stated that the immense
fortune left by an English lady, of
German parentage, was Resale
We'll, his aunt, and the heirs to her
estate are his sister, Esther Levi,
who is dead, and her four children;
Caroline Reese, Aaron We'll, Sam
pei We'll and himself, Alex. We'll,
making six heirs in all.
We find now that there are in
Louisville a family of Lewis, who
likewise put in a claim to that $780,
100000 which are seeking their le-
gitimate owners, and that they are
taking steps to establish their CLAIM.
| Of this interesting case the Louis
! vile Times says:
Some time ago the fact was made
public that a fortune of S60,OO0,-
600 is in the Bank Of England,
awaiting a claimant. From certain
know facts it was believed that the
heirs to whom this magnificent leg
acy properly belonged lived in this
city, and an investigation was at
ouce set on foot looking to the
proof of this theory. After much
tedious labor, it has finally been
settled that the descendants Of the
Levi family, of this city, are the
heirs to the English fortune. A
few weeks ago Capt. B. G. Levi,
the veteran steamboatman, received
the original papers, which finally
settles the matter. He at once is
sued a cali for a meeting Of the
heirs to appoint an agent to visit
: England and recover the money.
In answer the following named
heirs met at Capt. Lewis office this
morning: B. G. Levi, Willis Levi
G. II. Levi, George W. Levi, r
f. Levi and J. c.. Levi, of thi!
t city; Thomas Levi, of Jefferson
: county; James Levi and Mrs. Jos
Kern, of New Albany j; j. Il. Ru
dy, Of Memphis, and Mock Levi
Mr.. Mock Levi was selected chair
man, and f. E. Levi, Secretary
: On account of the absence Of tw'
. or three heirs the meeting adjourne'
until 3 o'clock until 3 o'clock thi
afternoon to await their arrival,
Capt. Levi says there is no qnes
ton as to the right of these peopl
to the great fortune, and that the
J merely have to 60 through the fol
mality of being recognized by til
> proper authority in England.
1t will be observed that both tn

Mambrino Mohawk. the celebrated
stallion. owned by 8. N. Andrews, was
the center of attraction at the fail. and
is, without doubt, one of the finest pro-
pOrtioned horses in the State stands
with head erect, and his movements
would grace q king. He was not ex-
hibited for q premium, but merely to
give the people a chance to see the
finest horse in the country. Some of
the knowing ones were kind enough
to start q sensational story that Mann
brinO Mohawk could not be shown in
harness, on account of his being un-
manageable, and to put the r story to
q test, the horse was led out, harnessed
aud hitched to q carriage in front of
the band, and midst the din and rush
Of the great crowd, was driven on the
track by two ladies. Those who had
predicted q asmash up We're elected to
go home disappointed, as the horse
moved of with an easy, graceful action
and took the ladies around the track
and back in safety. Mambrino Mo-
hawk was afterwards shown with a
number of his colts, and he has some
of the finest colts to be found in the
States. When we say $500 was offered
for one of them it makes the owners
of brood mares who went elsewhere
look dow in the mouth.
