In the report of the town Finance Com
mitlee submitted to the Common Council
at its meeting of the End inst, two errors
occurred. One of these was the omission
by the committee from it's statement of
market house revenues, of the amount COL
lecte2 for the month of January. Capt.
Da.feres had settled for four months up to
the 18th of May, whereas the committees
report only accredited him with three
monthly settlements. The oversight was
or course entirely unintentional and we
may remark en- 1sttSsant that it does not in
any MANNER affect our structures on
the existing system of collecting market
dues. The other error, we are informed,
was in the statement of amount discussed
for collecting wharf revenues for March.
The sum was given as $1l8 SO, whereas
Judge Maher informs us it was really but
$95 50, the committee having enormously
charged to the March account expense bills
of 1913 which we're included in the expense
account for the preceding month.

Ice FAcToRY.-Mr. Henry Cook, the on
terprising proprietor of the Donaldsonvilie
Ice-kouse, has just entered into contract
with Mr.. T. l.. Rankin for the purchase
and erection of an ice machine Of which
Mr.. Rankin is the inventor and patentee.
The apparatus is to be built by the Reading
Iron Works of Reading, Pa, and is to be
put up ready for operation by the 18th of
August Or LIST of September. 1t will be
capable of freezing at one time 175 cans of
ice weighing ITO pounds each and will turn
out from four to five tons daily. All the
piping is to be extra heavy and frst-class
workmanship-in fact, the machine will be
A No. in all its parts and it is the aim of
the inventor and Mr.. Cook to make the Don
aldsonville factory a model of its kind.
1t will be located on Mississippi street,
alongside the ice house, and the erection of
the necessary buildings will be commenced
in the course of a few days. The establish
ment of this institution will be an incen-
tive to the display of like energy and enter
prise in other branches of business, and
Mr.. Cook deserves commentator for the
good example he has set in this regard.

BASE BALL.-Both the leadi lg Donald
sonville clubs played away from home last
Sunday. The Fortiers went to Plaquemine
and were neatly taken into camp by the
Viguets, the score being rs follow:
Fortiers, go 0 o o @ . Q II
Strikes called OFF Chllds, 50; off Burke and
Balls called-of Childs, 81; off Burke and
Fortler. 81.
Struck out iguets, 4; Fortiers, 6.

Gross errors-Vixuets, 1; Fortiers, L.
S gmp: re- ! Il: Bowen e 81 St CHICAGO: y
Blum of Donaldsonville.
The Fortiers think the score would have
shown much smaller majority against
them but for the Unfortunate circumstance
that pitcher Burke's arm gave out at the
sixth inning, and he was compelled to retire
from the box. The figures were to 0 at
that stage of the game. At all events, the
Fertiers are by no means discouraged by
the result and will impatiently await a
chance to get back at the Vigucts on Don
aldsonville grounds.
The Nolans went to Dutchtown in stages
and defeated the Picards of that place by
the subjoined score:
Nolans, ...........5 8 Q 1 0 0 2-23
Picards, ...........3 0 Q 0 0-9
Umpire Harry Thatcher of Donaldsonyille.
ScOrers-R McCulloh for NOlans, }. B. Hebert
for Plcards.
As this was the first real match game the
Picards have played this season, they had
no expectation of winning and showed II
decided want of practice. They have the
same strong nine they had last season and
will soon be able to hold their own with the
best amateur clubs of this section. Their
reception of the visiting club was cordial
and courteous and the town boys enjoyed
their trip very much. The Picards have
new field in the edge of the woods just
across the way from the store of their
patron, Mr.. Leon Picard and there is no
better ball ground in the parish.
There will be an interesting game at
Nolan park tomorrow between the T. S.
Webers of New Orleans and the Fortiers of
this place. The Webers have one of the
best teams in the city, and the Fortiers
hardly dare to look for victory. The visi-
tors will come by the Mississippi Valley
railroad to Burnside station, and from
there in stage, returning by the same
route after the game.
The Nolans go to Paincourtville to-mor-
row to give the Charlets of that place re-
turn game.
The j. G. Bach club of New Orleans will
play in Baton Rouge tomorrow with the
II. G. Ramos nine. 1t is reported that the
Ramos club will follow the example of the
Viguets and employ a professional battery
for the season.
