A Napoleon Of Finance.
[Picayrlno.l

The trial of Henry S. Ives in New
York for grand larceny, which IS now
in progress, recalls one OF the most
sensational financial scandals that has
ever convulsed Wall street. The fail.
ure of Ives was announced on the
New York Stock Exchange in August,
1887, and according to the report OF
the assignee of the broken firm it was
developed that Ives had been able TO
pile ND liabilities to the extent of over
Seventeen million dollars, while the
assets in sight barely reached eleven
million dollars. The failure of course
created an immense sensation, tue
more so because of the fact that mere
boy, for Ives was nothing more, should
have ever como to control such enof-
| nous interests.
The fact of Ives youth and the
rapidity of his ascent to fame in the
financial world had the effect of COW
ering up to great extent the real
criminality of his gigantic operations,
hence the general belief was that the
matter would be suffered to pass into
oblivion. The fact that Ives was un-
molested for long time strengthened
the belief that the whole matter would
be hushed up, but this was not to be.
as it has again been opened by the
criminal prosecution of Ives on the
charge of grand larceny on the COM
plant of Julius Dexter, president Of
the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton
Railroad.
i The warrant charges Ives with. ap
propriatiug to his own use 100000 o
the funds of the railroad company
The trial, which has now been in pro
cress for several days, has developed
the most startling statements as to how
Ives wrecked che Cincinnati, Hamilton
and Dayton Railroad and the rascal
ties and fraud that he resorted 10 u
secure possession of the shares OF tint
plupdered road. 1t has developed tn

A Special Railroad Line.

A railroad has been built from Natchez
to Trinity, La, and there stops. It was
the intention of this company TO pulld
nany viii look over the territory they, cer-
tainiv would find it more to their advan-
tage to build to Shreveport. If such route
were taken the road would traverse
through as fine timbered country all the
way from Trinity to Shreveport as there is
i'm The south besides, it would also ira
verse good farming country. Another
thing to DO o oaken be an, no eompetins line
running in the same direction, not even
water course. There is no denying the
fact, that this would be much peter pay
is an inviting field tor the projectors of this
road. and they would do we'll to look over
the route.-W VIM Democrat:
A glance at the map will show that
this road built to Trinity near the juno
ton of Little and Black rivers with
the Ouacbita, opens up rich country
whose land will be enhanced in value
by the construction of the New Orleans,
Natchez and Fort Scott road now being
built from Port Allen opposite Baton
Rouge, west of the Mississippi river,
which will intersect the Vicksburg.
Shreveport and Pacific railroad at Ray.
Vile. in Richland parish.
The new line from Trinity tc
Shreveport would traverse the parishes
of Catahoula, VIM, Bienville anc
i Caddo, through fine timbered and
Agricultural country. 1t would proba
bIy touch Winfield and cross ono Of thu
upper branches of Little river in tina
locality and thence northwest to Spart'
or close to the northeastern corner
Red River parish. 1t would furnish
hitherto inland section outlets to tn
Mississippi southwark and northwart

of all kinds. Such road would prov

INatchez Democrat
As was announced in the Democrat
the Natchez Construction Co., which
ia TO build the New Orleans, Natchez
and Fort Scott Railroad, yesterday
morning, bright and early, broke the
first ground on that enterprise on the
western bank of the river at Arnaudlia,
inst below Vidalia. The company ex-
perienced considerable difficulty in
getting tea ms and labor that was &C.
ceptable, and hence made a beginning
with but limited force. This small
force will be in few days largely aug
mented with teams and laborers now
en- route to the work by both riverand
rail from Memphis, Kansas City and
Indian Territory. Some OF the supplies
were expected to arrive last night per
steamer City of Monroe, aud more
will come on tie steamer DeSoto on
Thursday or Friday.
The work which was begun yester-
day morning was Immediately on the
river bank, where the incline is to be
built, and as it will not take long to
get through with that portion Of it the
laborers will commence grading on top
of the bank for the yards, switches,
etc. The weather yesterday beng cool
and cloudy was most favorable for
work, which fact was highly apprecia-
ted by the laborers. The company are
not hiring any plantation hands where
they know it, as they are not disposed
to interfere with the planters who are
now gathering their cotton crops.
The engineer corps which is working
from yidalia westward toward Bayou
Cocodra have about completed theil
work on the incline, yards, etc., at the
river bank, aud have begun the per
manent stalking out and location OF TIM
line in the direction Of the Bayou. we
are also told that the surveying party
working from the Tensas river easteriS
TO Bayou Cocodra are also making
good progress, though they have SUI
fered somewhat from the heat. Botf
corps are getting along so well will
their labors that it is hoped they VII
have sufficient work staked out for th'
contractors to enable them II
prosecute their work in the most Wig
orous manner and without the slight
est delay.

whole story of how the boy fnancier,
with no other capital than an uniimit-
ed supply Of audacity and nerve was
able to secure csntrol of millions of
dollars OF interest and to possess the
confidence OF the oldest and richest
habitudes of Wall street.
But few years ago Ives was an
Grand boy at few dollars week,
and his first business ventures on his
own account were in unlisted securl-
ties which were carried for him by
firms of his acquaintance. From these
small beginnings Ives soon came into
prominence by the purchase of the
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton
Railroad. The success Of this auda.
cious scheme was promptly followed
| by the purchase or attempted pur-
chase of other roads, but Jaw devel-
oped in his plans that he was unab Q
to bridge over and he shortly came 10

ventures and apparent success were

The Louisiana and Arkansas Railroad.
[Floyd Messenger.l


The last news from our railroad Is
cheering. There are one hundred AMI
fifty teams at work in Arkansas.
This proves conclusiveiy that we are
certainly going to have road. The
gentleman who has faken the contract
to build tho road from Delhi to the
Arkansas line says that as soon as
cool weather comes that he intends to
put at work one thousand hands on
the road and complete it to the line by
the 1st of January. If such is the case
we can all take a Christmas ride to
Delhi on the cars.
We understand that some of the citi-
zens of Chicot County, Ark, intend
getting out an injunction TO stop the
building of this road, but we trust no
damage will be done. The injunction
may retard or impede the building Of
the road for short time, but We do
not think it will ever do that, for it Ia
an absurdity for few people to over
ride the majority. The masses want
the road built. The times dem and, it.
If those directors do not get out of the
way the iron horse may run over
them and somebody will get hurt.
So gentlemen we trust that you will
become reconciled to this onward
movement of progress and clear the
track

TRINITY BEARD FROM.
Another Shooting in the Streets of the
Town-One Man Probably Fatally
Wounded-F Family Engagements
the Cause.
INatchez Democrat.l


Gentlemen over from Trinity, La,
yesterday brought US the news OF
another shooting ARRAY at that place
on Saturday afternoon, The parties
to the shooting were James Bailey, a
Isteamboatmap, working for Capt.
George w. knight, on the Marcus
Collins, and John Ivy, employed as
ferryman by Mr.. lack Snyder. Our
information is that the families of the
two men had been living together, but
q disagreement sprung up between
them. Last week while Bailey was
of up the river on the boat, Ivy went
to his house and abused Mrs. Bailey
and threatened to kill her husband on
i his return to Trinity. When Bailey
/. returned home he was told Of what
: had happened and the threats made
; against his life.
On Saturday afternoon he was stand
; ing in front of Capt. Knights store,
Q and when he saw Ivy approaching he
Q disappeared in the store and re-appear-
q ed almost Immediately with shot
o gun. Ivy continued to approach when
It Bailey drew his gun on him, and after
Y firing both barrels, started to run
q Ivy shot al him with his pistol, ane
70 started in pursuit. After running
n some distance and thinking that lv!
rs had given up the chase, Bailey stoppe'
is and turned around. Just as he did s.
s. Ivy fred again, the ball striking Bal
ley in the right breast just above tn
er nipple, inflicting what is feared is
ut fatal wound. The gun fred by Ball
is was charged with buckshot and one
ne the shot struck him in the right lie
IN hot ween the knee and ankle. penetra
d. ing the bone. 1t is expected that h
in leg will have to be amputated, as TT
c., bone is shattered.
Of This is the first shooting that Trim.
'is has had in some months, and 1t WI
,ot be a fortunate thing if it Is not atten
;as ed by at least one fatality.
