the Pioneer of Assumption promis
ed to give the SENTINEL an over
hauling that would oI'er ate worse
than u charge Of dynamite, in
the explosion OF his advocacy of
the closing of Bayo" La:ourcl,e ut
DonaldsonviIle.
Last Saturday the Pioneer cooed
as amiable rs n sucking dove on
that subject aud proposes to wait
a while longer.
The Pioneer in the first place as
suIned that the S%ENTINEL'S arti-
cles were prepared for \ certain ob
ject which were entirely foreign 10
the purposes for which they were
written.
The SENTINEL has advocated the
closing Of Bayou Lafourche at Don
alds0nville for the explicit and
avoweJ purpose of saving the peo
pie Of this Parish from annual inun
dations aud ultimate rnin.
The stream is gradually closing
in the lower portion until to day
the outlet is practically within a
few miles of Lockport instead of 60
! Or 20 miles farther down, where it
| should be.
Ten years !ago the le, ees were
giving way 20 miles below Lock
port when there was three or more
feet of water at Thibodaux. In
1885, when the levee yielded at
Barrilleaux's, the Bayou was full
here, and rising 80 rapidly that
there w0ald have been breaks here
or above, within a very short time,
had not the break, at Barrilleaux's,
occurrsd.
The deposits occasioned ~ the
Barrilleaux crevasse will again de
crease the capacity of outlet, be
low that point, aud disaster may
he expected &c any point above
Lockport whenever the Mississippi
river reaches the level of the sur.
face of the earth at Donaldsonville.
This is n certain effect, simply
because the water flowing 10 can
not pass out,and will be damned up
30 as GO fill the stream to overflow
ing.
These freaks may just as likely
be in Assumption ~ in Lafourche
for those deposits arc forming all
along the bank and are plainly per
ceptible in this vicinity.
Year by year they advance like an
army with spades, and it will find
not be long before the Pioneer will
to its sorrow, that sitting on the
levees in it's vicinity waiting for
"a crevasse in Lafourche to save his
neighbors from overflow, will be OF
no avail.
Now we wish to avert this ruin OF
our people annually. We care not
how it will be done. Let the capa
city Of inlet, at Donaldsonville, b.
diminished /; let locks be placed
there by which boats car be passed
in and out; let it be permanently
closed, or let the deposits in the
lower part of the stream be remoy
ed so as to furnish Il sufficient out
let.
This last we have advocated fol
fifteen Gears without avail.
This is what should he done
what ought to be done, but wher
it cannot be had, then we shall f;
vor some, or any other feasible
plan.
Let our contemporaries of Nap(
leonvil!e aud Donaldsoaville, inve.
tigate thoroughly aud dispassionat'

CORONER AND COMMISSIONER.
VIZ. Bell and DIR. Quinn Come Into
Collision.

SOLILhAODs
The kick made by Commissioner Bell at
the last meeting of the county board about
the large number of inquests, needless as
he claimed, that are being held by Coroner
Quinn, has not been without effect. The
day following the event a young man died
in the Market restaurant. The fact that
within a few hours after his death the body
became swollen and turned black was
sufficient cause under ordinary circum-
stances for an Inquest, but none was held.
On Thursday afternoon Frank Howard
drowned himself by jumping off a barge.
There were peculiar circumstances which
drove him to the act. but Coroner Quinn
declined TO hold any inquest. In fact he
declines 20 hold amy more inquests until the
buzz las blown over. lie claims that he
has not held any inquestS when such were
not necessary, but he does not intend 10
mold any more until he knows whether or
not he will be paid for it.
Mr.. Bell, in conversation last evening
with a reporter. said ne based his remarks
on the law on the subject, which reads as
follows:
'CoronCrs shall take inquest upon view of
the dead body Of such persons only as are
10 have come 10 their death by viO-
lence, and not when the death is believed to
have been and was evidently occasioned 10y
casualty"
lie said too many inquests had been held.
anu 1t was putting the county to a needless
expense. The county would not lose much
IL Dr. Quinn didnot hold any more inqueSts.
A meeting OF the committee appointed to
consider the matter will be held in a few
DAYS.
