prospective bidders and disinterested spectators.

THE COMMERCIAL COLLEGE TROUBLE.
Thomas j. Bryant Charges His Late Partners
with Fraudulent Means to Influence Him.

In his complaint filed in the Superior Court
yesterday, Thomas J. Bryant sets forth an i'm
portant grievance against Oren Ell. Trook, EN-
NETT J. Heeb Eli F. Brown, VIM. M. Redman
and Cornelius N. Hamilton. He says that Feb
ruary 2, 1884, he and Hamilton formed part
nership to conduct commercial college. Trook
and Heb became teachers and assistants there
in until January "a, 1885, A few weeks before
this last date Bryant fell sick. The business
was successful, but his sickness wholly in
capacitated him from attending to it, SO all
the management of the college was done by
Hamilton, Trook and Heeb. He charges tha&
they conspired to fraudulently get from him his
two thirds undivided interest, and that the plan
was to take advantage of his sickness in urging
him to sell out to Trook and Heb, after which
Hamilton would sell his interest to the same
parties at proportionately much higher rate. In
the event Bryant refused to sell, Hamilton, he
charges, was to threaten toput the college in the
offer of 81, 900 for Bryants interest This plain
tiff refused, when Hamilton said: "Pll be id
if you don't do it! You will mover get dollar.
I'll have receiver appointed if you don't do it
within twenty-four hours" After persistent
urging on the part of Trook, Heb and Redman,
he made the sale on the Oath Of January last.
With the college was sold a large lot of personal
property. Now the plaintiff charges threat and
fraud, and says that when he found this out he
made tender of the 81, 900 for rescision of the
SALE This defendants refused and he now asks
that they be ordered to accept this tender and
pay him 81, 600 damages He also petitions for a
receiver for his two thirds interest

NeuraIgia Of the Face

Capt. John Orr, Pennington, Miss, has
been a most intense sufferer from facial
neuralgia for over twenty years. He has
had seventeen operations performed on
the neryes--that is, had them divided, cut
off close to the bone from which they
emerge. But this never did him any good;
the most excruciating pain continued
without the least interruption. lie often
wished for death to relieve him of the in
tolerable pain. The best physicians failed
TO relieve him. They finally advised him
10 consult Drs. Hartman & Miller, at the
ST. Charles Hotel, New Orleans, which
he did. They prescribed PERUNA, and
in less than month was entirely relieved
of the pain. Before consulting these doc
tors Che least touch to any part Of his face
OF nose would cause the most fearful pain,
while now he can blow his nose and wipe
his face without the least fear of pain.
The captain is grateful beyond measure
for this unexpected and unhoped for result.

Judge Eahn's Successor

The tity Item notices the nomint-
ton Of Mr.. Emile Rost Try the Repub.
lcan Convention which met recently
in the Parish of st. Charles, as loug
stride toward practical reform. AS
Judge Rost is Democrat and has the
nomination OF the Republicans of a
strong Republican Judicial District,
1t would occur TO plain man. unac-
quainted with the rules of modern
politics, that no opposition is possible
against Judge Rost's election. New
ertheless, the Waterman is by no
means sanguine in ant'cipa ting such
a result MIR. Rost Is n gentleman,
and he was quite pronounced in his
advocacy of Gen. Francis T. Nichols
in the last gnbernatorial struggle.
Those are reasons sufficient to set in
motion tho same deadly machine
which counted out Judge IIough aud
Judge Fontclicu and which counted
in q constitutional amendment which
was voted out by popular majority
of not less than fifty thousand votes !!
With sad but sincere misgivings, we
admonish Judge Rost and our friends

sheen !" Above all gentleman, don't

The Tensas Suit in the q. s.
District Court.

To Editor North Louisiana Journal:
In your issue OF the 25th instant
you published an article In which
1t is stated that Wade H. Hough has
sued the undersigned for damages
caused him by our alleged Illegal acts
as commissioners of election, at the
last State election, at which the said
Hough was candidate for Judge of
the 9th District Court As q matter
of fact we were not ommissioners of
election.
The principal ground for damages
reeited in Hough's petition, is the
| AIT that It was necessary for q vindi-
cation Of his character against certain
charges made against him as a man
and Judge, that he should be re-
elected to thejudgeshp. Hough hav-
ing opened the question of character,
we desire to publish with this card
the petition of Ger tain citizens of good
standing in this community, which
contains the alleged slanderons
charges from which Hough pretends
he desires vindication, and which
petition was fled with the then At
torney General, In the summer Of
1881.
When this suit comes to trial, we
propose to prove the truth of every
charge contained In the petition to
the Attorney General, and that the
true reason why Hough was defeated
at the late election was that every
voter in the district knew that he
was guilty of the vicious misconduct
there charged against him, and felt
that the bench had too long been pol
luted by his beastiality.
We ask that in Justice to US, you
publish this card, with the accompa-
nying copy of the petition to the At
torney General, referred to above.
