The Onachita Telegraph and Homer
Journal-two Of the strapgest support
ers of the socalled reform movement
In the State-are now kicking vigorous
ly over some appointments made by our
reform GoverDor.-EurDaer Gazette.
The Telegraph, speaking for itself,
supported Gov. Nichols because it
thought he would give the State bet.
ter government than his predecessor,
but it did not thereby engage itself to
wear his collar. Whenever he makes
an objectionable appointment the Tele+
graph will not hesitate to say so. The
appointment OF Flynn was extremely
Objectionable and the Telegraph took
the first occasion to SO characterize it.
It opposed McEnery principally because
of the Houston ring and if Gov. MI
cholls is TO favor Fitzpatrick ring it
will oppose him too. The Telegraph is
opposed 10 the politician of the Hous-
ton, Fitzpatrick stripe wherever found
and sincerely friend of reform.

AFTER FITZPATRICK'S SCALP,

Boss John Fitzpatrick, recently ap-
pointed U. s. Marshal for the Eastern
District of Louisiana, will not be allow
ed confirmation without vigorous op-
position. The N. o. City Item says:
The following petition Is being circu-
lated for signatures, and will be for
warded to President Cleveland and the
u. s. Senate:
We, the undersigned, Democratic citizens
Of Louisiana and residents of New Orleans,
respectfully protest against the confirma-
ton of John Fitzpatrick as United States
Marshal for the Eastern District of Louisi-
ana, for the reasons:
l. That he and his followers were repudi-
ated by our people last spring by $4,000
majority.
2. That he is now under charges of NAL
feasance in Office.
3. That he is q leading representative OF
| the worst form Of political bossism we have
ever known.
There is also petition being circu-
lated In business circles recommending
Mr.. VIM. B. Hayward for the office OF
U. s. Marshal.
That petition should be signed by
every true friend of genuine good hon
est government in New Orleans.

4 Meteor Mt Minuen.
shreveport Times


MINDEN, La, Sept. 10, 1SsS.-The
brightest meteor ever noticed in this
section passed over this place last
night. 1t appeared about 8 p. III.
slightly south of east, passed rapidly
TO the west, disappearing before it
reached the horizon. The flash was 50
bright as TO completely obscure all
other lights aud the moon aud make it
fully as light as midday. The light
had the peculiar whiteness noticed in
electric lights. About ons minute af-
fer it disappeared it was followed by II
report like thunder or cannon. 1t
was seen by IA great many people in
this section, and all describe il rs be-
ing the brightest ever seen, ard all say
1t reminded them Of IN electric light.
Some say it Travelled due west; others
south of west, while others think it
went north of west. They state also
that the report was followed by a
rumbiing noise Ike boiling or seethinp
water. 1t must have been what is
called detouating meteor. Did it fall
to the earth, and if so wherea

The Ouachita Telegraph is getting
red in the face over the fact that Boss
John Fitzpatrick will probably be ap.
pointed to fill the U. S. Marshalship in
this State made vacant by the death
of r.. B. Peasants, and thinks that the
tshoOdlum element has already had
more than enough recognition" We
are of the same opinion, too, Mr..
Telegraph but what are you going to
do about it? The people arose in their
might last April and swept the bosses
out of place temporarily, but they are,
thanks 10 Gov. Nichols, gradually
getting back into power again. Tom
Duffy and Geo. Flynn have been pro-
vided for, and now President Cleve-
land and Senator Gibson are boosting
John Fitzpatrick into place and power
again.-Sugar Planter.
We propose to enter our respectful
but solemn and indignant protest, and
If the press OF the State generally will
do likewise these Objectionable ap.
pointments may be checked. II tho
voice of an independent press be not
needed then there is no other recourse
but for tho press 10 head a movement
TO hurl tho present administration from
power four years hence. Tho Nc
Emery administration was set down
upon by the people for just this reason
and the Telegraph does not believe
they will tolerate it in Gov. Nichols
administration.

A CHEAP STEAMBOAT,
The Famous Ed Richardson Sold Mt
Auction for $2,15O-Shc Will Go
TO st. Louis and Hun as an
Excursion Boat


Yesterday the large side W h eei steam
er Ed Richardson was sold at auction
for what many consider mere song.
The sale took place at the Auction Ex-
change on st. Charles street, and was
made by Mr.. Albert Paul of the firm Of
Macon, Paul & Robinson.
Although the attendance was expec>
ted to be large there were less than fifty
s.eainbnasuien present and only four
bidders.
Mr.. Paul called for an offer and re-
ceived a bid IF $1,000 by Mr.. M.
Schwartz, followed by one of $4,000 by
Mr.. VIM. Evans, $4,000 by Mr.. Joseph
Schwartz. and $3.50 by Com modore p.
P. Manion of ST. Louis, to whom the
vessel was Knocked down. The sale OF
the Ed Richardson disposes of the last
but three of the list of floating palaces
that for half a century have made
steam boating on the lower Mississippi
famous. The Naichez, Oliver Beirne
and Jesse X. Bell alone remain as re-
minders of the exciting days of long
ago.
The Ed Richardson was built in 1879
at Jacksonville, Ind, for the Memphis
and New Orleans Packet Company,
composed of the late Captain J. w.
Tobin, Mr.. Ed. Conery ami the late
Captain John w. Cannon, and cost
$40, 900. She was originally intended
for the New Orleans and Memphis
trade, but only remained there short
time, when she was placed in the New
Orleans and Greenville trade. She was
one of the largest cotton carriers on the
rixor or1 xHoS an 1,nluaEx, koof N =,
Improbable one to its owners. Her
shafts overheard and otherwise dam
aged herself to the extent of about So
600, and lost nearly all of that seasons
business, which wonld have amounted
to considerable. Two years ago while
coming down tho river with u load of
cotton, she ran Oh a stump, knocking a
hole in her hull, and was prevented
from sinking with great difficulty.
That accident, however, ended her ca.
reer as a cotton packet. On her arri-
val here her hull was found to be seri-
ously injured and as there was no dock
in this vicinity TO take her in and it
would have been too expensive to take
her to st. Louis for repairs, she was
taken over to Algiers to lay up. Dur
ing the storm last month she was
blown over to this side Of the river and
damaged to tho extent of several thous-
and dollars.
The Ed Richardson is $40 feet long,
beam 40 feet, width over all 95 feet,
depth of hold II feet. She has nine
doubIe-flucd steel boilers. 50 feet long,
az inches in diameter. The engines are
IS inches in diameter, 10 foot stroke.
Commodore Manion, new new owner,
will have her towed TO ST. Louis, when
he wilt then decide whether to disman-
tie her or convert her into an excursion
boat

YELLOW FEVER NEWS.

The latest reports from Jacksonville
arc to the effect that the fever is still
spreading and owing to tho lateness of
frost there, December LIST, there is little
hope of its abatement before that time.
One hundred and thirty new cases and
fourteen deaths were reported last
Wednesday, the latest intelligence
received here.
This place was thrown into con.
siderable excitement Thursday evening
when the news reached here that the
fever had appeared at jackson, Miss,
and that the train that evening had
brought passengers direct FROM there.
One passenger Mr.. Crane, a drummer
and resident OF jackson got off here.
He said that he heard nothing of the
fever before leaving home. On that
day there was Il civic celebration of
some character in Jackson, several
thousand negroes being in the city. 1t
Is possible that they may spread the
fever throughout that State. Six cases
were reported at Jackson Thursday
evening and three more yesterday
morning.
Nicksburg has established a rigid
quarantine against Jackson and Tai.
lulah has quarantined against the
State. 1t was reported here yesterday
morning that the railroad track had
been torn up beyond Tallulah and that
no more trains would be allowed to
pass. Shreveport has quarantined
against all stations beyond the Missis-
sippi river but the papers of yesterday
do not verify the report in circulation
here that all points on the ", S. 4 p,
had been qnarantined against.
The council met yesterday evening,
and as will be seen by the proceedings
published elsewhere, took all necessary
action for the safety of this city. While

the manner CT selecting delegates to
represent this parish in the Congress
ssonal Convention which meets in this
city on October 10th next. The Tele-
graph respectfully urges the commit
tee TO adopt the method of white pri-

on this subject that we will forego
making any remarks applicable thereto
on this occasion, but Will submit in
lieu thereof an able and well-timed
article from the West Baton Rouge
Sugar Planter which will be found
elsewhere under the caption of "a

mend to the earnest consideration of
the committee with the hope and be-
lief that 1t will have more weight than
anything we could say.

The Democratic Executive Com
mittee of Lincoln parish met at Ruston
on the 10th inst. and appointed the
delegates 10 represent that parish in

settling a very dangerous precedent.
We hope no other committee will take
like step. Mr.. Newton was endorsed
but the delegates are uninstructed.
