A LITTLE BLAzE.-About o'clock yester-
day afternoon some clothing was found on
fire in the house occupied by the family OF
Albert Mcclure, colored. at the corner of
Conway and Lessard streets, and an alarm
was given that reused the town and brought
hundreds of people out on the streets. The
fire companies responded promptly to the
alarm bells, and were rolling" to the
scene Of the threatened danger when word
came that the flames had been extinguished.
Circumstances connected with the fire
indicate that it was of incendiary origin
and colored woman named Bella Harris
has been arrested and jailed upon suspicion
that she is the guilty party. The afiant in
the case is 9 sister Of Albert Mcclure.
Mr.. Maxine Dupaty, one of the best
known and most popular citizens of Napo-
leonyille, has purchased from Mr.. NJ.
Schonberg the stock apd fixtures of the
Dexter Livery Stables, ON Railroad Ave-
nue., Donaldsonville, and will hencefortl
conduct the establishment on his own ac-
count. with enlarged and greatly improved
facilities for the accommodation of the
public, including new stock of horses and
vehicles rivaling those of any stables in ru-
raj Louisiana. Mr.. =. E. Nose man. an
exceedingly affable and competent young
gentleman. has been intrusted with the
general management of The business, and
we are confident the enterprise will meet
with degree of success that will make it a
credit to our town and source Of merited
profit to the enterprising proprietor and
genial manager. A new advertisement OF
the Decker Stables will appear in our next
issue.

KILLED HIMsELF.-About half past
o'clock yesterday afternoon, David CLARK,
colored boy Is years of age, accidentally
shot and killed himself while playing with
a shotgun in the basement of manager j.
NJ. Breaux's residence on the Ascension
plantation, in the first ward of this parish.
The gun belongs to Mr.. Breaux's son Will
lie, who expostulated with Clark when the
latter began handling the weapon, looking
down the muzzle and lingering the trigger.
Suddenly the gun was discharged and a
load of No. shot entered the foolish boys
head, just above the left eye, making a hole
in the skull as large as silver half-dollar,
scattering the victim g brain over his face
and causing his instantaneous death. David
was son of Booker Clark, a laborer en-
ployed on the Conway plantation. Coroner
Duffel repaired to tho Ascension place up
on being notified of the accident and held
an inquest, after which the boys body was
taken in charge by relatives for interment.
