E. Mcneil. widow OF Alexander Mcneil. late OF

granted because Of death resulting from inju-
ries received in friendly wrestling match with
fellow soldier while in camp. Gen. Bussey
holds that the soldier Was in the line OF DUTY at
The time OF receiving the injury. This decision
places more liberal construction upon the

man case. Gen. Bussey saws that be considers

Commissions on the sale Of Tickets.
The public room OF the interstate commerce
commission in which hearings are held pre-
sented an animated appearance this morning.
This was due TO the presence Of n largo number
OF railroad people who had come 20 Washing
ton as the representatives Of their respective
roads pursuant 20 an order of the conn.,
mission. This order was issued on the
10th OF April and required the presence before
the commission to-day of Representatives OF "a
carriers, most of them western roads, 70 answer
and set forth what commission each OF them
pays npon the sale of passenger tickets. and 10
whom, and how this business il conducted by
them. Several Of the roads had fled an
swers with the commission, but the majority
answered through their accredited repre-
sentative. The general trend Of the tes-
timony given was that the roads were paving
commissions in accordance with the rates es-
tabhshed by the Western Passenger Agents as
ISOLATION, and that the roads were acting under
tins agreement. which was generally faithfully
observed TO the betterment Of the service.
When the case of the Wabash Railway COM
pany was reached the commission took q recess
until 23O o'clock.

many relatives, returned on Thursday

Mr.. Jack Smith, one of the Oldest

last at his home near Oak Ridge.
Our friend, Mr.. Brown, made a
recent visit to Oak Ridge, and judg
ing from his radiand countenance, his
visit must have been an exceedingly
pleasant one.
Rev. Mr. Mosely was in our town a

him said, yes. When asked what he
had to say, simply said, "when?" His
Honor informed him that that was

that the Governor would fix the date.

The way in which some peopl,
tangle their property reminds us very
much Of The fox in his acts to throw
his pursuers off their gard. We have
had some experience in this line lately
az we were called upon to make alb.
stracts, show the status &C., of prop.
crty. When it comes to transferring
undivided J by two different parties
10 other different parties makes work
for lawyers or somebody else, but
when it comes TO one-sixteenth, one
thirty-second part &C., that makes
work that is work and work that
most people dread. We do not wonder
at large properties being involved in
litigation. Mrs. Smith marries Mr..
johnson. She goes before Notary
and Says her name is johnson. What
was your maiden name? the Notary
will ask. The answer will be Jones
The law requires that the Notary
shall give the maiden name. The
law should REQUIRE the name continued
on down, but it does not. Some old
hands at the business understand the
intention Of the law and trace the
name down. We remember some years
ago a party came to the Recorders
efhce to transact some business. We
asked the usual questions, Madam,
what was your maiden name? MY
parents name was McBrier, I married
triiiing fellow in Illinois and his
name was Thompson. So I married
McDougald." How arc you going to
trace property under such circum-
stances? The officer has to supply
the names &c. Here was a case in
which the contracting party had
married, then married sgain without
adivorce.
Suppose she had acquired property
during the first marriage and sold it
under the name Of the second. the
Notary not giving the second name,
how would an abstract be made un-
less by one familiar with all the
details and supplementing the names

Board Of Directors, Soldiers
Home, Of Louisiana.
New ORLEANS, FEB. Dist, 80.

NEW ORLEANS, FEB. Dist, SO.
Owing to the depreciation in the
State warrants for 1888, the Board of
Directors of this institution are com
PEELED to make this appeal to the
public.
At its last session, the, General As
sembly of this State appropriated for
the support Of the Soldiers Home but
$500 per annum. instead of the
larger sum suggested by members of
this board. In the early part Of 1888,
the Ladies Confederate Memorial
Association, of New Orleans, supper
ted by the benevolent Association of
the Armies Of Tennessee and of North
ern Virginia, by means of an enter
tainmert given in this city, raised
about $1,000 for the clothing fund of
the Home, and which proved a most
timely contribution Now, our re-
sources are still more crsmpe,l, as we
have been able to realise but little on
the warrants for 1888, and must wait
some time for those of 1889. The
board is, therefore. compelled to ap-
ply to all friends Of the Soldiers of
Louisiana, for assistance.
This board is composed of the presi-
dent, three vice-presidents and the
recording secretary of each of the
benevolent associations of the armies
of Northern Virginia and of Tennes-
gee, making ten in all, none of whom
receive any salary or fecuniary re-
ward, Of any kind. To these two
associations the Home chiefly owes
its existence and prosperity, and
whenever they have called upon the
public to aid them in their noble and
patriotic efforts, they have always
met with a liberal response
To each Police Jury and to each
individual citizen of Louisiana, we
make this appeal. it is the glory of
our State that, as her battalions were
foremost in the conflict, so has Louisi-
ana been the first in providing for her
veterans, whether manned in battle.
crippled by disease or disabled by old
age. We invite YOU all to visit the
Home in New Orleans, that you may
judge Of its condition for yourselves.
All contributions and remittances
should be sent to John NJ. Coos, Treas
urer, No. 2 Tchoupitoulas street, New
Orleans, and will receive his prompt
acknowledgment. Please respond at
once, Respectfully submitted.

COLORED SCHOOL,


In consequence Of the great need of
school requisites, and of a very much
impaired house, the patrons met to
consider the matter.
On motion, a committee was APP
pointed to draft resolutions.
The committee recommended the
organization of an auxiliary educa-
tIonal society, having for It's design
the repairing of the school house, and
furnishing the school her needs
generally. Likewise supplemeAting
the scholastic terms.
Two desks, black board and five
pair of window shades have been fur
nished. Other necessities will be had
coon.
Heading the board is Henry Viii
liams, President; Thomas jefferson
Secretary, and Cesar Williams, Treas
urer. These are some of Rayville's
energetic, enterprising, fairminded
and incesant ls6oring citizens. These
and their comrades manifest a great
desire to have their children thyurogh-
ly drille1 in the rudiments of educa-
sion. Especially in those studies
necessary to constrain them to be con-
sistant citizens.
Gentlemen, you can succeed by
untiring energies only.
There are here many sprightly
minded boys and girls, who will, if
the work of developing those dormant
talents and engenuities continues, ere
long reflect great credit upon these
tOiling parents.
Special mention needs to be made
of the recent visit of the superintend-
ent, W. T. Insley, which has been so
instrumental in influencing both the
patrons and pupils to the dispersion
of their duties.
