JACKSON, Feb. ga young ne
gro, named Anthony Thomas, about
twenty-one years old, was turned over
to Sheriff HeFdlng this morning,
charged with shooting and instantly
killing Miss Leila Loftin, daughter Of
Mr. Loftip, near Trenton, Smith
county, yesterday moaning. He was
captured on the train, which he
boarded near Peiahatehie yesterday
evening, and brought here andtnrned
over to the sheriff. Miss Lpftin was
sixteen years old and the daughter OF
a highly respected family. Thomas
was interviewed this evening blythe
Gimes5Democrat correspondent, and
admits killing the yonng lady, and
says his only reason for doing SO was
because he had heard her remark TO
heT mother the night previous that he
was getting too sassy and ought to
be killed. He denies having at,
tempted 10 oriminally assault her, bul
but this is seriously doubted. The
young lady was almost dead when
found, not being able TO speak.
She was hit fonr times with 9
Smiths Wesson pistol. The whole

Cured started in pursuit of Thomas
and ten or tWelEe.of the party reached

and are continually being raised
Yet, the heavens seemed to have
opened the flood , ales, from which
pour down immense quantities Of
water to swell the rushing rivers. The

/ On Friday evening quite number
IF the largestproperty holders Of Lake
Charles, many Of them having large
interests outside of town, met at the
court house to discuss the advisability
Of offering aid to the Gulf, Sabine
and Kansas City railroad, which was
represented at the meeting by MIR.
VIM. Anderson, their chief civil en-
I giueer. Mr.. Anderson, upon being
called upon to staUe the views and
wants of the company, spoke in a
manly, bnsiness.lilze manner, declining
to make any extravagaut promises,
and indicating the inducements which
might secure us the road.
After some discussion a committee
of gentlemen was appointed to draft
resolutions expressive of the sense of
the meeting, which, with report of
meeting, will be found in another
column.
The action of the property holders
present was practically unanimous,
there being only one dissenting voice;
and his opposition not apparently to
voting aid if the road came ID good
faith, but being more in the nature
of doubt of the company's bringing
a bona fde, independent line INTO
Lake Charles.
We believe the action of the meet
ing expresses the sentiment of the
community, and that upon the com
pany indicating their satisfaction
with the terms we offer, which ex-
preston on the part of the company
is to be given or refused within two
weeks; the property taxpayers will
vote tax of % mills tor ten years,
and the police jury will pass an Or
diBance of exemption from parish
taxation for the same period
Certainly, the town will not refuse
a like exemption. These exemptions
are not to be construed into a con
tract to secure the road against taxes,
but simply an exemption in so far as
the police Jury and municipal coun-
ell can give it,
The rlght-of-way through the parish
and town, and the depot grounds in
town, will have to be secured indie
pendentiy Of a tax.
Certainly, the prospect of this road
running into Louisiana, east Of the
Sabine, instead of IN Texas, west of
is good. The country is richer,
and will furnish greater trade. The
Louisiana laws suit railway companies
better; and should the road run
through Texas, with a branch to
Beaumont and one to Orange, it will
depend entirely upon the chances of
deep water at Sabine Pass While,
if it runs through Louisiana, with one
terminal at Orange and the other at
Lake Charles, it will secure the
chances of water at both passes, and
cannot get left
The Texas road would be disap-
pointed if CaIcasleu and Sabine
shonId become the deep water ports
The Louisiana road would get the
benefit Of either, or both,
In any event Orauge, Texas seems
provided for. To show what the road
would do for Us, Mr.. Anderson pre-
fered % mill, municipal tax for ten
years, to $50, 900, payable in ten an
nuaL instaIIments, fully equal to a )
mill tax on the present assessed value
Of town property.
