The Aqueduct Commissioners passed some
resolutions yesterday peremptorily ordering
the contractors who are digging out the tun-
nels to light and ventilate them properly. This
Is the second or third declaration on the subject
which the Commissioners have made; but that
is all the good it does. If the Board have
power to stop the work of these men when
their directions are 4 OF obeyed, some reference
to this fact in the next resolutions adopted
might have little effect.

The value of individual votes has never been
more numerOusy illustrated than in the late
elections in New-Jersey. One more Republican
or Democratic ballot cast in the lid Assembly
District of Mercer County would have made
the Legislature stand 40 Democrats, 40 Repub-
lcans and Labor par ty member. recount
of the ballots in this district yesterday gave
both Walter (Dem.) and Jones (Rep.) 1884
votes. Another election should yield the
Republicans the victory if every member of the
party goes to the polls. In the lid District of
Cumberland County, the Republican candi-
date has pit rality of seven only. These are
two Of the most conspicuous instances Of mar
row majOrities in that State.

When Mr.. Blaine undertakes TO refute
siapder he does it ef1ectually, as letter from
him printed elsewhere in tits paper proves.
The charge was widely circulated in Massa-
chusetts during the recent canvass that Dir.
Blaine had srepudiated reform In the Civil
Sery ice. and had sneered at 1t. OF course
such story could only be sustained by per-
version of what he had said in his Pennsyl-
vanis speeches and this perversiOn was fur
nished by circular issued by the so-called
Independent Com nittee of Massachusetts,.
Dir. Blaine points ont That no did not say what
was attributed to him. but merely condemned
tho English Civil Service. which is too often
held up to Americans foI admiration by woGld-
he Civil Service reformers, although that Scr
vice In Great Britain is now under iDvestiga-
ton and apparent condemnation by the Eng
Iish Government Mr.. Blaine suggests that
those WIN misintsrpreted what he said should
have tho fairness TO withdraw their state

YELLOW FEVER AT BILOXI

DR.. JOS. Holt. President OF the
State Board of Health, DR.. L. F.
Solomon, Secretary. and DR.. T. S.
Scales. Health Officer of Mobile,
Ala, visited Biloxi, Miss, last
Wednesday. and Investigated the
fever cases prevailing there. They
reported as follows:
1--WE made thorough examins-
ton of the seven convalescents. also
OF one patient now i'll. and have OBJ
taiDed the official histories of the
two persons who died last Sunday
Aug. 20. The sum of the evidence
indicates yellow fever as the Cause
of illness"
In consequence Of the above re-
port. the neighboring cities and
towns have declared quarantine
against Biloxi, and there is a gen
eral stampede of summer visitors
Railroad trains now pass through
the town without stopping. The
disease is iu an isolated part OF the
town called 1.-THE point" and every
precaution is being taken to pre-
vent its spread.

Bob Taylor. recently nominated

MONEY IN TOBACCO.

Considering the fact that tobacco
does we'll in this parish. wherever
tried. the following article. from
the Colfax Chronicle. will give some
idea of the profits in its cultivation
Relative to diversified farming.
we will mention most remarkable
growth of tobacco raised III this
(Grant) parisb. by Mr.. +. E. Lays
sard, who lives in the Red River
bottom, four miles south OF Colfax.
He has about fifty stalks OF tobacco,
second growth since cutting his
first crop. that will average over
five feet in height, aud on which,
every leaf is rank aud luxuriant
His first crop averaged II pounds
of good cured tobacco to each
stalk, and the second or sucker
crop is likely to make n still better
yield. Thus he will make full two
pounds and halt to each hill. Al
acrs of such tobacco would yield
$3.50 pounds. worth, at the lowest
estimate, 1892 90! And this
too, be it remembered, can be made
with about the same labor that i
takes to raise six bales of cotton.

We hope to see q large atten d.
ance at the nominating convention
next Monday. the 9th inst. Two
delegates will be elected to rep.
resent this parish at the Congress
sional nominating convention, and
ifthe Democratic voters OF the par
ish have any choice among the
various candidates. they should at
tend the convention and express
their views, so that the delegates
may be instructed in accordance
with the popular will. Probably
some Of the candidates will be pres
snt to press their claims. At all
events. it would be better il the
people would manifest a deeper in-
terest in these primary elections
aud nominating conventions. for
they are the foundation upon which
rests the entire structure of govern
ment.

DESTRUCTIVE EARTHQUAKE

Last Tuesday night, August 81,
between 8 and 10 o'clock, probably
the severest earthquake occurred
that was ever known in this coun-
try. It extended, with more or
less severity. from Charleston, S.
c., to Des Moines. Iowa, and from
Chicago. ILL.,, to New Orleans.
where it was scarcely perceptib!e.
The greatest damage occurred ut
Charleston, 8. c., where three
fourths of the buildings were de-
.troyed or irreparably damaged.
Several lighter shocks occurred
Turing the night. Many of the
fallen buildings took fire. which
added to the terrible scene Of des-
rruction and death. It is estimated
that nearly a hundred persons were
killed, while hundreds OF others
we're injured. The loss in property
will amount to about $4,000, 900,
Slight shocks were also felt on
Wednesday. in various parts of the
country.
Prof. Mendenhall. Signal Office,
It Washington city. who has made
, study OF earthquakes for man,
years, and has felt shocks OF num-
Der of severe ones in Japan, says
that of Tuesday night, while no,
especially severe, was, nevertheless
the worst hs ever experienced in
this country. He expresses sur
prise at the wide extent of the phe
nomenon, and thinks it likely tina,
when the reports are all in it vii
be found that the area affected il
larger than that OF any previou.

THE CANDIDATES.

From the Capitolian- Advocate:
The friends OF Col. L. w. Rob-
e, tson have determined to present
his name to the consideration OF
the District Convention for the
Congressional nomination. Col.
Robertson has filled various posi-
tions OF high trust in the State. and
served three consecutive terms in
Congress rs the Representative of
this District. It is but inst to say
of him that he has always shown
himself an able and faithful public
servant. and that he did yeoman
service in the cause of the levees
and of the Improvement of the
Mississippi river. To no man more
than to him is due the creation OF
the Mississippi River Commission.
Strengthened by his experience in
nationa. legislation, lie would GER
tainly serve the people of the dis
trict with the greatest efficiency.
He will doubtless prove a formida-
bic competitor for the nomination
before the convention.
From the Potato Conpee Banner:
We regret to chronicle That dur
ing the visit Of Hon. A. B. Irion to
this parish he was stricken down
with malariaI fever. On Thursday
morning, feeling somewhat better,
he departed for his home in Marks
vile, where we hope he will soon
recover from his recent indisposi-
ton.
The New Orleans Bee says:
Mr.. T. J. Herman, who occupies
a distinguished place at the Louisi-
ana bar, is now in the city. He
practices law in the parish of East
Feliciana, at Clinton, where he
lives. His talents. his integrity.
the universal esteem in which he
10 held, have attracted to him pub
lie attention, and his friends have
resolved to support him AS candi-
to Congress from the Sixth Dis
trict. We are assured that hs will

convention ut Ration Rouge.

Welded AND PARrED.-Can any
person accurately betray the emo
tons of an amiabls and sensitive
young bride, who, on the very day
of her marriage, finds her hopes
shattered by an appalling revela
ton. that forces her to droop her
head in utter dejection, ana spurn
her husband with contempt? This
was the sad fate of Violet Ainslie. n
lovely girl, the heiress TO almost
boundless wealth. Although only
nineteen, fresh in the bloom of rare
beauty, she turned an inattentive
ear to all her eager wooers, aud un-
mistakubly manifested u strong dis
like for matrimony, But suddenly
Il change Came over hes, and, to the
utter anuzement OF her friends, she
accepted the proposal of Norman
Leigh, who, of all men. had been
deemed the lenst likely to succeed

ON the heart of the beautiful heir
ess. To the still greater surprise OF
all who knew the parties. the we'd
ding was set for an early day. and
the most rnseem!y haste was evil
dent in the preparations for the.
strange bridal. The "hnppy day"
arrived; but it proved to be n very
unhappy one for the little bride.
Just two hours after the close Of
the ceremony. rs Norman Leigh
entered the apartment occupied by
his bride, expecting to be greeted
by joyful eyes and the fonlest Ca
resses. lie became pale with alarm
rs he realized that hs was not a
welcome husband, but an object of
contempt. Her Chances expressed
the deepest Indignation, aud she
spurned him with the spirit of n
woman whose eyes had just been
opened to his deep duplicity. How
Violet Ainslee had been wronged,
and why Norman Leigh made her
his wife, is touchlnsly told III Der
