THREE BLACK CROWS.

During the early part Of June shooting
ARRAY took place in front of Methodist
church in Franklin parish, rear the village
of Alto, in which Geo. Gilly, Tom Chap
man and several other young men were
wounded. About the same time number
Assumption parishes, to the effect that
Messrs. Gilly and Dossat, two young men
doing business on Bayou Lafourehe be-
tween Napoleonville and Labadieville, had
become iuvoived in an ARRAY and both had
lost their lives. According to one version
they we're rivals for the favor of charm
ing young widow and fought duel with
bowie knives. Another account had it
dered in one of the Attakapas parishes and
that the young men had gone over to inves.
tigate the affair and recover the body;
that they were attacked by the murderers
similar tales we're not wanting, but when
the CHIEF instituted inquiries to ascertain
the truth with regard to the bloody affair,
it appeared that the excellent young men
whose tragic fates had been predetermined
by that indomitable hnssy. Dame Rumor,
were alive and we'll, with no thought. of
shedding each others gore or of having it
spilled by others. 1t is more than probable
that the franklin affair was the only foun-
dation for these rumors. and that SINH
larity of names gave rise to the sensational
reports concerning Noteworthy young citi-
zens of orr neighboring parish-a series of
not unlike those recounted in
the ancient tale of the three black crows.

tor of the East Carol Democrat, absconded

$4,000. He was one of the most popular
menein the parish and enjoyed the cont

fetal vacancy resulting from Powel's de-

Editor CHIEF:
You know all the Big dailies tbig with capJ
say about reopening the Exposition. Well,
there is hardly scintilla of fact in it. The
truth is out at last. Pullman accepts the presi-
dency if certain conditions are complied with.
First, cool million OF Uncle Sans dollars
must be deposited in bank for Pullman to pull
from when bills are presented. of which
amount Pullman will put in fifty thousand to
start it; secondly, Mr.. s. H. Buck is the only
New Orleans man to be retained on tho board,
and thirdly, the railroads must pool their issues
with Pullman and if this is done. the work of
repairing the sieves at tho Exposition grounds
will commence. Mr.. Pullman is of tho opinion
that it will take million to place the scheme
on proper footing.
Your correspondent heard Mr.. Barrow ex-
press his doubts of tho Exposition reopening
under the present management. and it is the
opinion OF prominent mon here outside OF the
boosters that it cannot reopen except as a one
horse fair or bazaar, unless the opinions OF Mr..
Pullman are carried out
The Main Building has number of exhibits
boxed and stored therein ready for anything
that may turn sp. In the Government Building
everything of value is packed and shipping is
going on rs rapidly as cars can be provided.
which is slow business, as the railroad CON-
pany say they cannot get the cars. Ohio called
for nine cars and was furnished with three and
other States are treated the same way. When
loading first commenced it cost So 80 per car
for the nse of trucks. Monday last the price
was raised to So 50, and in consequence the air
in tho Government Building was sulphuric.
number of Commissioners declare they will
not return under any circumstances. and some
of them cannot Justly be blamed. Tor instance
take Ohio: 1t had the finest wool exhibit in the
show and could not get even an honorable
mention thereof, neither of the mound builders
exhibits. 1t did not ask medal OF prize. but
simply honorable mention. and that is denied.
Then in the Woman's Department., in making
the allotment of $4,000 not one cont was given
Ohio. The Secretary of tho Commission holds
a certificate to that effect which he declares he
will have printed and sent to every Congress
man and Senator by the opening of the next
Congress.
The World and the Post -otfico remain intact
as also several fine exhibits near them. which
will be removed only as cars can ho furnished.
The government makes q clean sweep when it
does move.
Wards Natural History exhibit is being
slowly packed, apparently waiting for Tulane
University to raise $1,000 to buy it, which is
$4,000 less than cost. 1t is we'll worth a few
few hours spent examining it,

LEI THE GOOD WORK GO ONl
Public sentiment has been thoroughly aroused
at last. in favor OF the movement toward the
erecting Of Bartholdi's Statue. Liberty En-
tightening tho World" in the harbor of New
York. Americans now understand that those
among them who subscribe to the completion
of this grand work, will perform IN act Of pa
triotism, and at the same timo one of interna-
tionai comfy worthy of the enlightening ideas
permeating this nineteenth century.
Some idea of the extent of the public senti-
h1ent is shown by the fact that the New York
World has been able to report subscriptions
Of over $4,000 in . months time, in sums aver
aging less than 81 each, the great bulk of these
contributions being in dimes and quarters.
What nagnih ent object it Yill be-, towering
almost into the clouds from New York's beauti-
full harbor! 1t will stand as grand symbol of
liberty before the eyes of every one coming from
the oppressed countries beyond the ocean. At
the gateway of no other nation could it stand
with such appropriateness. Here it symbolizes
the fullest achievement of human freedom and
will forever stand to tell that story.
The committee in charge of the erection of
the pedestal for the reception of this great
work have prepared a beautiful statuette, rs u
souvenir to send to each person who subscribes
81. Ought not the heart OF every American to
respond with pride when he has the opportu-
nifty of contributing toward the erection of
such monument?
1t is one of the grantlest undertakings of mod
ern times and eminently fitting that it should
be built from the heart and pockets of our peo-
pie.
The committee does not believe the Ameri-
can people are Indifferent to this great work.
therefore calls upon them f, their aid Every
person wishing to become a subscriber should
send their address to Richard Butler, Secretary
American Committee of the Statue of Liberty.
No SO Mercer street New York inclosng 81 and
will receive in return miniature reproduction
Of this great work:
While large subscriptions are always desirable
it would be far more to the credit of this great
nation if every man. woman and child should
own Il block in the pedestal which will support
the everlasting monument of

Mt. Elvaine Himel. a rice planter of La

District Court of cutting his levee for the
purpose of irrigatin9 his fields. Judge
Beattie sentenced him to six months i'm
prisoment in the parish Jail aud to pay a
tane OF $500, but subsequently, gsanted a
motion for new trial by jury. The law
which prohibits the cutting of ievees may
be deemed BY some unnecessarily stringent
and severe, but the great amount of damage
that has resulted from this dangerousprac-
tice justifies strict enforcement of the
statute in question.
