LOUISIANA DAY All THE EXPO
SITION,

The celebration of Louisiana Day at the
Exposition, on Thursday, April 80, proved
the grandest triumph yet achieved in the
history of the great Worlds Fair, and the
manner in which the occasion was observed
reflects the greatest credit upon the people
of the State. The attendance .~as ihoTe
than double that Of any. previous day, be-
ing variously estimated from $1,000 to
1p, 600 souls; The gate receipts. 50 far. 9s
reported, were about $25,C;o, and when il
is remembered that besides admitting chill
dren as rule for % cents, those from
schools and orphan isylnms who came in
a. body were charged. only Is cents each,
and that exhibitors, members of the press,
the visiting troops and other invited guests
were charged nothing for admission, it will
at once appear that even the larger est
mate of the attendance given above may
not be extravagant.

AN INSANE PROHIBITIONIST,

ATLANTA Ga, Nov. 2S.-Loud shouting and
praying were heard in the station house to-day
at noon and investigation showed that w. S,
Blackman, who lives at No. "a Larkin street, had
gone crazy, and was in the hands of the police
authorities. Blackman had been a jealous
worker during the heated prohibition campaign,
and on election day his coat and hat were be-
decked with blue ribbons He had taken little
rest and eaten but little, and the night after the
election his family noticed that he was acting
queerly. He would talk about nothing but pro-
hibition, and spent the time in either singing
or praying. When the result of the election
was announced he went all about town shaking
hands with everybody he met and yelling at the
top OF his voice. Last night he became quito
boisterous, and the efforts of his family could
not keep him quiet He would eat nothing and
talk of nothing but prohibition. This morning
he got up and announced his intention to give q
grand feast to which the blue ticket should be
invited. He secured an AK and with it knocked
down the fence in front of his house to let the
multitude in, as he expressed it. Some one tried
to stop him, aud he threatened the intruder with
instant death This alarmed his household. and
police officers were sent for. Patrolmen Kean
and Hitson responded to the call and took Black
man to the station house, where he will be kept
until the authorities can take steps for his safe
keeping

On the evidence given before the grand jury by
Mrs. Roskelly, Payne was indicted. The case

The Treatment Mr.. Hendricks Received Dur
ing. His Last Illness.
The following statement was made by DR.. w.
c. Thompson, in an interview yesterday:
'Mr. Hendricks was never in his life bled
by me. To have bied him, under the circum

Gated great recklessness. But never thought
of bleeding him. We were in the habit Of
putting dry cups on him, and, in obedience
to his request on Wednesday. cupped him. I
suppose it is from this that the impression that
l bled him gained such Roadway Said Mr..
Hendricks to me: If you don't give me an
opiate you must put dry cup on me- 1t was
favorite remedy of his"

He was chilly and we gave him warm water

His bowels we're depleted by simple stimulat

which was thus relieved by two gentle
operations. He said he felt better;

McMinnville, Mar, 10, 1885.
Another week has gone and but
few changes to report in the local mar.
ket.
Wheat, corn and oats are in demand
at unchanged prices.
But little bacon yet has come to
market, hardly enough TO establish
prices. AS yet prices are low, and
farmers are not disposed to offer their
bacon.
Poultry and eggs are still in demand.
Now that spring has opened and the
old hens have begun in earnest to pro.
duce eggs, we may reasonably expect
much lower prices for eggs. Poultry,
(hens) will probably be in demand for
a few weeks longer.
Dried fruit still dull with but little
prospect for better prices. 1t has
hardly ever been known to be so very
low before as now.
Green apples are very scarce. a
few loads of nice apples just now would
readily bring Toe or Sl00 bushel in

are in the country are being hauled

The sight of the marching troops, ascending
Capitol Hill from all directions was a grand
one, and different strains Of music from
many bands had an inspiring effect upon the
multitude. BY half-past 10 o'clock the space
east Of the main entrance of the capitol was
literally packed with human beings. Many
persons took positionss on the steps Of the
house wing as early as o'clock in order to
nave good view of the proceedings. Nearly
as far as the eye could reach from the capitol
in all directions the streets and avenues were
crowded with military organizations. Both
ides Of Pennsylvania avenue from
Eighteenth street to the capitol were lined
with surging mass of humanity. The stands
erected along the route were crowded and the
