The recent alleged defalcation on
the part Of the parish treasurer Of
Calcasien seems to be in fair way of
settlement. The committee appointed
to examine his books has reported
that the treasurer owes the parish
$l7S4.l9, and this Treasurer Hutch
ms says he is willing and ready to
pay.

Mrs. McFee, of Monroe, mother Of
Geo. McFee who was killed on the
v, S. & p. railroad near Tallulah
some time ago, has filed suit against
the road for $50, 5000 damages for the
killing Of her son. Messrs. Potts q
Hudson, C. J. and ]. S. Boatner and
Lamkin are the attorneys for the de-
fence. 1t is alledged that the killing
resulted from gross negligence of the
company in operating their road upon
rotton cross ties.

THE SHREVEPORT FAIR.

Quite a crowd left Rayville on
Thursday evening, the 10th, to attend
the Shreveport Fair. Among them
we noticed Messrs. Balfour, Edwards
and DIR. Bell, accompanied by Mrs.
Brown, Mrs. Edwards and Mrs.
Balfour. They were joined by Mrs.
Judge Williams and two sons at
Monroe
The writer and his little daughter,
Eunice, were also of the rown.Arriv
ing at Shreveport we showed our way
to an omnibus and after getting seated
we were pleased to see Mrs. Lee (nee
McGrath) in the same conveyance
accompanied by Mr.. Lee, the happy
groom. They repaired to the Phoenix
Hotel and we kept on to Mrs. Fultons,
farther out, where we secured rooms
for self and little daughter.
On Friday, early, a large crowd
assembled at the fair grounds, esti-
mated at not less than 5000 people.
The exhibits were not as numerous
as last year The races however,
made up for all efficiency in other
exhibits. The ten mile catch-and- 90
race was run by two young ladies,
one from Kansas and the other from
Missouri. This race was very ex-
citing, and the vast audience would
rise to their feet to witness it as the
feet horses dashed over the track
with great speed. Miss May White,
of Missouri, seemed to be leading and
made about seven or eight out of the
ten miles, but as it was a ten mile
race, dismounting and mounting at
the end of each mile, and as Miss
White seemed to dismount and mount
so much faster than Miss Lizzie VIII
liams, of Kansas, she seemed to be the
favorite, but Miss Williams displayed
great deal of good Judgment in
holding back her best horse for the
tenth mile, and by the time Miss
White mounted Miss Williams passed
her and kept on gaining to the end Of
the mile, winning by at least sixty
feet. 1t was very exciting. The
plucky little Missouri girl dropped
her cap early in the race and con-
tinued through in the hot sun with
her beautiful suit of hair flowing in
the air.
Miss Williams, the Kansas lady, is
said to be the champion female horse
back rider of the world, and seems to
be at home on horse.
To those who were unfamiliar with
the modes of racing it seemed strange
the one who had made so many miles
ahead should lose, as they did not
take into consideration that it was
one race Notwithstanding four horses
were used by each.
On Saturday morning a prize of
ten dollars was offered for the most
graceful horse back rider between the
ages of 6 and IA years. When the
prize was awarded We asked the ques-
ton sis the boy that rode the black
over ii years old?" and when asked
by the judges, said "he was eight
He did not even get ribbon and
was by far the most graceful rider of
his age we ever saw.
Mr.. Cooper, Of Shreveport, was
awarded the blue ribbon as the best
horseback rider. This was correct.
For the most graceful female rider
the ribbon was given to Miss White,
Of Missouri, but majority of the
spectators thought Miss Williams was
entitled to it.
There being some dissatisfaction
over the result of the ten mile race it
was decided to run that over on
Monday. We venture the prediction
that with anything like as good man.
agement in changing horses, Miss
Williams will again win.

Among the half a hundred rail
road enterprises projected in North

Another thing in this connection
that it is important for our people to
consider is the effect the New Orleans,
Natchez and Fort Scott Railroad, as
at present contemplated, will have

be built as stated. There is no deny
ing the fact that should the New Or

built to Bastrop via Rayville, Oak

Monroe an incalculable injury unless
some other road like the Beebe was
built either to counteract its effect or

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 3.-There were two
murders in this city last night.
At s o'clock George Dillon shot Mrs.
Lottie Lyons in the left temple, killing her
instantly. She had been his mistress up
to last September, when he left her. Re-
Gently he became jealous upon hearing of
her relations with other men, and last
night he quietly entered her apartments,
and, without warning, shot her while she
was washing dishes. Her young son was
attracted by the noise, and Dillon threat
ened to kill him, chasing him into the
street. He then returned to the room and
shot himself in the ear. His skull is tract
ured, but he will live.
At II o'clock Alice Fletcher, depraved
woman, was found dead in her room in a
low dive. An examination revealed a bull
let hole in her breast. She was undoubt-
edly murdered by her lover, an unknown
Italian, who recently came from White
hall.
The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1889-01-04

heard the report OF the weapon. The bull
let went through the indow OF the col
ored ward on the ground floor and lodged
IN the leg Of woman patient, inflicting a
slight wound. The authorities failed to
find the miscreant who did the shooting.
New Years Eve evidently the same
man fired another shot at the hospital.
The shot came from the same street and
apparently from the same house. 1t went
through the window pane OF the children's
ward on the second floor OF the main
building, but had its progress stopped by
the wooden shutters on the inside. The
person who fired the shot has not been To-
Gated.
