MuaICIpA1. REFORM.

The regular Jtne session Of the Common
Council is tosbe held 'ne1t Tuesday etsning,
When Il is anticipated considerable business
of cngrossine public interest y i'll he trans
acted. The people look to the new Coun-
Gil to effect radical reformation OF abuses
en9rafted upon Our municipal system for
political purposes, and We feel confident
popular expectation in this respect will not
tYe disappointed. 1tis crying shame that
a town With such liberal sources OF revenue
"A ours should be saddled with large ana
constantly Increasing debt, without cores
bonding works Of public improvement TO
Offset and justify the expenditure And We
shall be greatly disappointed in our ESQ
mate Of the composition Of the new admin
istration if prompt and effective measures
are not adopted to correct existing evil,
curtail expenses and redeem the damaged
credit of the corporation.
Thu, work Of rstrenchment and reforma.
ton will undoubtedly be surrounded bJ
many difficulties and drawbacks, but w
believe the men upon whose shoulders tht
task will devolve have the manhood, the in
tegrity and the public spirit to carry il
forward in the face of any opposition tina
may be organized by the friends and bone
fciaries of the present system of municiPa
misRovornment.

LEvEE INsPDCT1oN.-On Wednesday last
Assistant State Engineer Sidney +. Lewis,
accompanied by Parish SurveYoe and Levee
Inspector NJ. W. Darton, examined the lev
ees on the left bank of the river in this
parish and found them generally in fine
condition, though caving banks render it
necessary that four new pieces Of levee be
built on that side of the river during the
current year. The lines for new levee at
Messrs. Crossley l. Sons Mount Houmas
plantation have been run and the contract
for its construction rendered to Messrs.
James Il Magnify. 1t is to extend from the
angle il the old !evee near the head of New
River lane down through the front of the
Mount Houmas quarters and short dis
lance behind the residence, the length of
the proposed new smbankment to be about
1000 feet. The bthst points where levees
will be necessary are at Riverton upper line,
Riverton lower line and Orange Grove low
er line, and each Of the ehbapkments will
measure from 1000 to- 1900 feet in length
At Orange Grove the bank is caving badly,
and barely three feet of the crown of the
ievee remains at one place. Mr., Lewis in
tends to return to Ascension during the
coming week and inspect the levess on the
right hank of the river. !.

BASE BALL.-The Plaquemine Viguets
came to Donaldsonville last Sunday and
administered second defeat to the Nolans
Of this place by the subjoined score:
yiguets' .......o ] ! . y ! "a
Umpire Henry Gainer of New Orleans:
Scorers-9. A. Backes for viguets, Il. Mclui-
loh for Nolans.
Strikes called-Childs; So; Tearney 70; Burke aa
20. Balls called-Of Childs, IS; Tearney, ~;
Burke 2G.
The game was witnessed by about 200
people and was very interesting, though
number of bad errors were made on both
sides. It will te noticed that the Nolan
batteries made better record on strikes
and called balls than the semi professional
city battery employed by the Viguets. The
Nolans attribute their defeat to costly
errors at critical periods of the game. The
| Viguets, ON the other hand, were lucky
enough to bunch their hits just where they
would do most good. The Plaquemine
boys arrived on, the morning train and
we're entertained at the Lee Hotel during
their stay. The ball game was begun at 2
o'clock, which enabled the visitors to re-
turn home on the evening train at 4:33
Capt. Bourgeois and the young gentlemen
of his fine club are highly esteemed here
and their visits will always prove welcome
events. Another game between the Nolans
and Viguets will take place within few
weeks.
At the conclusion of the Viguet- Nolar
match last Sunday, the Fortiers and Nolans
started a second game, but it was suspen
ded at the close of the sixth inning as mos
of the boys we're toQ tired to play with an,
spirit. The score stood Is to in favor o.
the Fortiers.
The Fortiers will go to Plaquemine OF
the 7th of June to meet the Yigqets, and i
is expected return game between tn
same clubs will take place at Donaldson
vile the Sunday following.
The Nolans and Picards play their frs
match of the season ut Dutchtown on tn,
7th of June, and the match will doubtless
prove one of the most interesting features
of the festival to be held at that place o,
the 9Th and 7th,
If the proposed Fortier- Viguet game TO
June II, at Nolan park, is arranged. the
Nolans will probably run down to Pain
courtville to play the Charlet club. TIL,
Charlets and Nolans play here tomorrow
The Quicksteps and 0. KS of Shreveport
are organized for the coming season ane
are both seeking games with clubs from

them.
Baton Rouge now has fine base bal
park ON the Garrison grounds and un
usual interest in the national game is dis
played in that city this season. The lead
ing clubs are the Dixies, Ramos and Peek
a-Boos, and the Donaldsonville mines hope
to have an early opportunity of testing thu
skill of the Capital city players.
