SuGARTowN, July 8, 1886.
Editor Lake Charles Echo;
Now that the excitement created by
the late storm of wind and rain has
somewhat subsided, we can begin to
form tolerably correct estimate of the
damage done. In this immediate sec
ton, while few whose crops were
within reach of the overflow from the
creeks, have lost large part and some
nearly all of their corn and cotton;
others are not seriously damaged. The
most injury being done to the corn by
the wind. All the corn was laid fiat,
and in some places was badly broken,
but has since rightod up and is doing
remarkably well, Cotton was some
what hurt, and all the forms then on
1t have since fallen of; but it has now
taken new start, and where it was
badly washed by the overflow it has
come out and is doing better than any
one thought it could do, If nothing
more serious befalls the crop in this
section it will yet in general be very
good, Notwithstanding the backset by
the storm.
All the bridges on Whiskychitto
creek, except one, were swept away,
and all on the main roads across the
creeks between here and Alexandria
were carried away, suspending the
mails and cutting off communication
from the outside world for several
days. BY the enterprise and energy
of the merchants and citizens at and
near Sngartown, the bridge across the
Whiskychitto, on the mail route from
Lake Charles to Sugartown, has been
rebuilt and is now in very good con-
dition, but by little more labor can
be made very firm and substantial,
On Spring creek the storm was very
severe and destructive, sweeping away
the entire crop of very many citizens
of that section and in several instances
carrying dwelling houses and out
buildings, the families barely escaping
with their lives by climbing shade
trees standing in the yard. So total
has been the destruction on some of
the farms, that they will be abandoned
and no attempt will be made to repair
them. The sufferers have petitioned
Government for aid, and unless help
comes from some source soon very
many will suffer for the necessaPies Of
life. One WAGNER, who was caught
at Lacompte during the storm, de-
scribes the desolation as complete. He
says that on his way ont he passed
plantations of corn, cotton and cane as
fine as he ever saw, but on his return
not stalk Of corn or cotton or cane
was to be seen, not even q pannel Of
fence was left to mark the place Of
dividing lines between the plantations.
Crops, soil, fences, and all had sue
to the violence of the waters
and gone from view, TAGIFus.

While meandering around Trinity
one day last week we assembled the
stairway of the old building form

Guss Brothers, but now being torn
down by Mr.. John II. McCabe,
where our attention was attracted by
an object upon the floor, which, npon
close examination, proved to be .

in state since the high water of 1889,
and in perfect state Of preservation,

the swan when swimming. The eyes

doubt if any other, bearing the same
resemblance, is to be found N the
State. The spot where The carcass
was found was in the upper story Of
the building where neither rain nor

It seems great pity that the chem
lists and microscopists should come IN
and destroy the long time illusion
that if q piece Of ice looks absolutely
clear TO the eye, it is necessarily pure
and healthful. 1t has been demon
strated by numberless experiments in
this country and in Germany that bac-
terra, Or germs Of disease, can sur
yive temperature far below freezing
point. In the case Of the Plymouth
epidemic Of typhoid fever which DIR.
Edison, Of the New York board Of
health. went into Pennsylvania to
stpdy, he discovered that the typhoid
germs had been subjected to temper
atpre twenty degrees below zero for
several months. This illustration alone,
in DR.. Edson's opinion, is sufficient to
prove the necessity of guarding the
purity Of anr leo supply. Another case
in point was that Of several families
in Now York last summer who were
seized with fever which was dag
nosed by reputable physician as
typhns. Investigation finally showed
that all these families were served by
the same iceman, and an examination
Of his ice revealed the presence Of tbs
deadly bacteria, EacAqage.

A STREET CLEANER.'
The Operation Of the HambOrn
Road Machine.


There was a trial yesterday morning
of the Lamborn road machine on SEQ
ond street, between Chestnut and Pry-
tania. Surveyor Brosnan and several
Of the Councilmen were present and
appeared to be satisfied with its work
ings. 1t consists of an iron frame
work and carries an adjustable steel
blade scraper set at an angle This
blade on being lowered sGrapes along
the surface, cleaning it up as it goes,
and when it is required to fill a hole
or depression the blade is raised and
the material dropped at the proper
place. 1t is well adapted to dirt
streets and shell roads and throws its
cut from the ditch bank to the centre
Of the road, thus gradually raising the
level of the middle Of the street and
affording better drainage. 1t will per-
form the labor Of seventy-fVe men, at
the same time causing no diminution
Of the hands employed by the city,
The advantages Of its introduction are
claimed to be its Fapidity, thorough
ness and the means of cleaning dozen
streets in the same time that it now
requires to clean one.
