Dor soldiers returned from Baton
Rouge OH Sunday, delighted with
their trip, aud looking none tue
worse for wear, after their exciting
campaign. They left here Oh Friday
ut 3 O'Clock p. n. and arrived home
Oh Sunday at 1880 A. NJ. making
the round trip in less than As houls:
The journey was made by rail to
New Orleans, thence by steamboat
to Baton Rouge.
The militia parade was doubtless
very grand aud made a handsome
show in the streets of Baton Rouge.
There vas one battalion of Wash
lngton Artillery, comprising three
companies, one company of Louisl
ana Field Artillery, and four com
panies of Infantry from New Or
leans, que company from Ascension,
W OF cadets at State University,
one from Iberia, II from West
Baton Rouge, one from St. Landry.
one from Lafourche. one from st.
Mary, one from East Baton Rouge,
and one from CaddO.
In addition there was IA beyy of
officers, Inspectors, AiaS.de-camp,
Surgeons, Quatermasters, Commits
saries, and the usual number of or
namentalS.
We regret to say that the com
pany from Lafourche was put in
the Penitentiary and kept therein,
long as they desired to stay.

=BANQUETTE.

ment leading to the Catholic
Church ? it is suggested that some
thing be done with a view TO its
completion.
Various methods have been ven
tliated b"t the most practical as
yet suggested ~ to enlist Father
Menard in this enterprise. 1t was
he who directed the old work. and
who is most likely to carry on the
same to a successful determination.
Father Menard having been inter
viewed stated that according to the
average cost of the old pavement, it
will require in the neighborhood if
not quite five hundred dollars to
finish the main walk fronting the
bayou, There will be a space of
$50 feet about which will require
paving, and all of five hundred do!
lars will be required to accomplish
this with the necessary crossings,
sc.
Having been asked whether lie
would not lend his assistance and
aid in this enterprise, he stated
that he would certainly do so, aud
furthermore, provided he was assis
ted by the prblic will take entire
charge and control of this work and
complete the same with the least
expense possible.
To assume this responsibility he
will exact the right Of directing Cd
erations himself and relieve the
public OF any further trouble than
that OF providing the means to car
~ Though this enterprise.
Though he has abandoned for
sometime the idea of raising funds
ny means OF fairs. nevertheless as
the pavement as it now stands has
been built through means raised by
fairs, he will if required, iorego his
determination in this RESPECT, and
in view OF this great work of neces
sity, will consent to give one and if
TWO fairs in order to raise
means for this purpose.
Should this be agreeable to the
public there is no doubt that in IA
very short time our pavement will
be completed.
Any surplus after having compile
ted the f'Ont pavement could he de
voted to building the pavement on
to the church.
1t is to be expected that Father
Menard will refer to this matter at
high mass O-mOrrOw.
Let the public give its assistance
and let Father Menard complete
this pavement by all means.

THE NEW STEAMBOAT.

one o'clock Z. NJ. "a large number of
citizens assembled in front of the
boiler mandatory of w. Fl. Ragan,
just above the depot, to witness
the launch Of the new boat. that
had been built in the yard aIjoln
ing the shop. The uoat il constr NC
ted entirely of steel bar and sheet.
aud is probably the first one so CON
structed in the State or perhaps in
the Southern section of the Union.
At the hour appointed Mr.. Hogan,
accompanied by his charming little
daughter, Maggie, vent on board,
followed by several other persons.
The boat was balanced on a set
OF rollers On the Ievee, and when
the signal Was given a few pulls OF
the ropes sent her gracefully into
thelbayou, where she tloated, trim as
a muscovy duck. Once fixed in the
element on which the boat is here
after to float, Miss Maggie, opening
a bottle Of champagne, sprinkled it
over the boat and said IL baptize
thee, Parnell go forth, and may
You ride the waves of these waters
as your namesakt rides the oppres
>ors of "a brave people, whose repre-
sentative lie is"
This was received with the ap
plause of the multitude when the
"PARNELL"
took her place among the boats up
on the waters.
This is the first attempt at boat
building ever made in Thibodaux,
and will probably be the folerun
ner Cf q profitable business for the
town.
The Parnell is 20 feet in length,
over all, 81 fee: beam, i feet depth
OF hold. Her engine, already in
the boat. has s inch stroke. 9 inrh
bore, improved pattern. The boat
will be driven by a propeller, "A
inches in diameter, at IL speed of
80 revolutions per minute. The
boiler to generate steam will be
made of steel, also. She will have
two cahins, seat IS passengers, and
il expected to make Il miles per
hOuv.s
The Parnell was bnilt by Ragan
and Hogan, after designs made by
Mr.. T. 5. Hubbrell of Duluth, Wis
consin, an able and skilled mechan
ic, who has been here for some
months. e
AS an evidence of the success of
the boat, thus far, she is found to
draw about foot less water
than it was anticipated she would
draw.
The boat will have her boiler put
on board, and cabins erected with
despatch when the good people of
T~hibodaux, and Lafourche will
have an opportunity to see, moving
on the beautiful bayou a specimen
of the workmanship of Thibodaux.
Let US hope that the enterprise
may be Q financial success. Ger
tsinly the enterprising builders
have the best wishes of the commu
nifty, that theii labor may be amply
rewarded.

The Z. S. Telephone Co., at Mad

phones which bids fair to revolu
tionize the cost of telephone ser
vice and at the same time an al
most perfect system. The clear
ness aud distmctness that results
iu the use of their telephones is won
derful. The telephones were tried
on a line twenty miles long. and
q reporter carried on a conversation
which was tar more distinct than
for a few blocks with the ordinary
Telephones. There was none of
the Internal humming that is al
most always heard in other tele
phones. Not il sound marred the
clearness OF the conversation. The
telephones are made to work on
che club system, with trunk liues
and requires no Exchanges. As
the Company sells the telephones
outright, consequently there is no
exhorbitant rents to pay.
By sending your address and q

SUIT FOR A PRINTING BILL.
End or n Tedious Legal Wrestlt
with the County Commissioners.

End OF "a Tedious Legal wrestle
with the County Commissioners.
In the case Of A. Skillmsn vs. Eureka
county, the Court yesterday ordered that
a p%eremptory writ Of mandate be issued,
commanding the defendants, as the Board
OF County Commissioners Of Eureka
county, at their next meeting or session.
and before G o'clock p. NJ. OF Monday,
December 6. 1886, and before .he allow.
anos Of any other claims against the
county, to proceed to the consideration OF
the judgment, claim and demand Of A.
Skillmau against the county Of Eureka,
and allow the same for the sum OF
81 1910 10. and that they make return OF
| their action in the premises TO the Court
| by IL o'clock NJ. Of the 7th day of Decem.
Der, 1886. It was further ordered that
judgment be entered accordingly in favor
OF plaintiff and against defendants, and
that plaintiff have judgment against the
defendants for his costs OF suit.
The case in which the above order 10
the eliminating point has been dragging
along in various forms OF litigation for the
past two years. At one stage 1t was ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court, but was
dismissed by that tribunal for want Of
attention on the part of the attorneys en-
ployed by the Commissioners. The suit
resulted from q printing bill covering
legal printing required for the election OF
1884. The original bill as presented was
for 81, $40, one half OF which belonged to
the SENTINEL and the balance to the
Leader. the latter having assigned to Mr..
Skillman to avoid the expense OF two suits.
The printing was done and the indebted
ness incurred in pursuance Of the annexed
order OF the Board of County Commission
ers duly passed and spread upon their
minutes at the meeting held Saturday,
October A., 1884.
Whereas, 1t is desirable and proper that
the voters of both political parties be
fully informed In regard to all matters
pertaining to the coming election. it is
therefore ordered that all notices OF reg
istrstion lists OF registered voters in the
several precincts Of the county. and all
other matters pertaining to the said cleo
ton. that ia proper or necessary to pub.
lish, be published in the Eureka Leader,
ss we'll az in the Daily SENTINEL, and the
Eureka Leader Publishing Company are
hereby authorized and directed to publish
all such matters.
The bill should have been paid long
$780,. The litigation has been expensive to
the county and annoying TO the publish
ers. At one time the SENTINEL proposed
to compromise and settle its portion for
$500. rather than embark in q tedious
lawsuit. The Evening Leader refused to
accede to any form Of compromise, as also
did the Board. The plaintiff has won the
case at every stage. We are glad that the
end has at last been reached.
