A CONFEDERATION

At seven o'clock Friday night
last the usual puictness of this
town was q isturied by the fire
alarm and the wild and exciting
cries of fire, fire, which were heard
i'll every direction. All the bells
in the town began to call the peo-
Pile to the dreadful reality that a
threatening fire was endangering
one of the thickly settled portions
of the town.
When the people in their wild
rush responded to the alarm the
small old frame building opposite
the market house was wrapped in
a sheet of flames devouring its
frame and threatening the adjoin-
ing buildings which were only a
few feet apart. The tiremen were
soon at their post and had the
steam engine by the bayou but
there they experienced great diff
ticulty, trouble and disappoint-
mcnt, the steamer requires only Z
minutes Ia raise steam sufficient to
work the engine. but this time il
was u hard matter to start the fire
and it was only after a hard work
of about 80 minutes that n suf,i-
cent amount of steam was raised
to work the engine to advantage.
During the delay in raising
steam in the engine the fire had
made tremendous headway, tax
ing the residence of the late Adol
phc Ncazey which was in n few
minutes II mass of flames and than
communicated to the st. Louis
Hall which burned very fast.
When the fire had about reached
the south end of the great build
ing the steamer started three hea-
Wy streams which were fortunately
in time to check the progress
of the furious flames, and with the
courage and endurance of our peo-
pie they succeeded In controlling
the fire and saved the store build
ing of Mr.. Jules Oyer which is
also two story frame building
about 10 feet from the st. Louis
Hall. The saving of this build
ing reflects great credit on the
tircmcn, the people and Evange-
line, as only steam engine could
have performed the work that was
done. The boys of the Hook and
Ladder Co. did good service in
pulling down with their hooks the
walls of the burning buildings.
The residence of Miss Clara Mil
lot was kept from taking fire with
bukets until a stream could be di-
rected there and save the building
from further danger.
The fire made rapid Roadway in
the yard and communicated to the
kitchens and other small buildings
and to the dwelling facing the
street back of the church, belong
ing to Albert Veazey which was !
in few minutes reduced to ashes. I
In the greatest fury of the fire {
The wind began to blow from the i
east and a rain of sparks began
o fall on the small buildings in |

at a fashionable restaurant, and after having .
row with his host suddenly aruse from the table
and started for the White House, with the in
tention, as he announced it, to do" Ben Har-

THE NEW POLICE JUDGE.
Belief That Mr.. I. G. Kimball VIII RI
ceive the Appointment.

1t is thought that the appointment of an-
other judge for the Police Court will be made
before the end of this week, as the jury will be
in attendance at the Police Court one week
from tomorrow. at which time the services of
another judge will be required.
1t is generally believed that Mr.. Ivory G..
kimball will secure the appointment. Attorney
General Miller sent for Mr.. Kim5all yesterday
and had talk with him, and as all the applica-
tions were referred to the Attorney General his
sending for that particular candidate gives
ground for the belief that he is to be the sue
ccssful one.

The Case of Evans vs.. the National Guard
To the Editor Of The Evening starr
few words more on this case of George w.
Evans VS.. the National Guard of the District of
Columbia and will leave the decision with the
reading and understanding public. The plain
tiff used some of your space yesterday evening
in a not too lucid but evidently honest en-
deavor to explain why he should not and would
not reply to statements made by rue few days
since and while doing this he brings up the
only sound argument he has yet advanced. He
is u citizen and a taxpayer. Did Mr. Evans
ever sit down and calmly figure out how much
he has contributed to the support Of the Dis
trict National Guard?
His reasoning reminds me of the old farmer
who WAS making his first tour Of man-of-war.
He attempted to enter the captains cabin but
was stopped by marine.
Il gness you cant stop me-" demonstrated
the indignant agriculturist. I'm taxpayer
and some of my money went to build this
ship"
An officer overheard the remark. He at once
pulled u splinter off convenient scrap of
rough scantling and held it toward the visitor
Here's your piece" he said. Take it and
Had Mr.. Evans been simply an unprecedented
citizen possessed of an idea or two no one would
have made any objection to his criticisms of
the District military, but it is a well known and
thoroughly established fact that he has been a
bitter enemy of the guard from its organiza-
ton. He openly opposed the legislation which
brought the present brigade into being, and if
his gleefully reiterated statements are accurate
he has done everything in his power to cripple
the command by active lobbying among MEM
beers OF Congress.
When the District militia needs advice as to
matters of detail it will ask for it. 1t would
be just as reasonable for Mr.. Evans to insist
that his ideas as to the proper manner Of con-
Quoting street parade DO adopted by the
guard as that his notions in the matter of
armories and consultations be complied with.
His privileges as contributing citizen must
have reasonable limits. - yfI
What would the public think of Mr. Evans if
he rushed in front OF the commanding general
at dress parade and at an inappropriate time
shouted: "Iam a taxpayer! Adjutants to the
front and center, march ~

INDIAN COOLIES.

Hon. Joseph Marsden, who wa'
sent to India some months since tC
make inquiries regarding Indian
coolies, returned to San francisco
in the steamship City of Rio, and
while in that city was interviewed
by a reporter of the Chronicle. A
portion of this interview we insert
below:
India found a wonderful field for
labor" continued Mr. Marsden, 8 but il
is doubtful if the English Government
will allow any of the natives to go to the
islands. found that it would not let
them 20 to any country with which it
had no treaty. 1t happens that it has none
with Hawaii, so if we get any native In
dams it appears that we will first have
to enter into a treaty. England demands
a treaty covering emigration OF subjects
because of former abuses. | will make
q favorable report, and the matter OF
negotiating a treaty can then be con-
sidered< You understand that by the
Hawaiian laws the Chinese are practic-
ally restricted from coming 10 the ISL
ands. As it is we pay more for common
labor than in California. We pay $35
and $40 month for white Transfers be-
sides board and lodging. We also pay
from $50 to $40 for ordinary labor, be-
sides free house, free schools, Tree
medicine, and all the taxes. In Deme-
rara this same kind OF labor is paid only
20 cents day, and the laborer boards
himself This kind OF competition our
sugar growers cannot stand.
90 WISHED all that part O. India south
of Calc1tt; and Bombay. found that
in the hill country the laborers were
only getting cents a day. They live
5000 to 10000 feet high, however, and
cannot stand our climate Up there
they are very rosy and robust and eapa-
BILE OF carrying great loads. 4 common
two days work is to carry = chest OF
eighty pounds OF tea twenty miles over
frightfully rough mountains and return
the second day with the empty box
They are OF medium height, and the
women do much of the carrying.
"In the lowlands are the typical Him
docs, very black and strong, and with
their arms, legs, nose and ears tinkling
with jewelry These are the kind L
found would best suit US | talked with
their principal men, and they all told
me they thought it desirable for many
OF their people to migrate. As it is they
have hard work to live; 81 or So is IA
little fortune. Crowded as the country
is with 800, 900, 900 people, famine even
now threatens them in places. was
much impressed with these people from
labor standpoint. They will just suit
us. The climate and everything OF Ha-
wall are admirable Tor them. They
would not cost US more than II or 20
cents day"

A New Fire Engine.

The W. 6. Irwin brought down a
large fire extinguisher for the Fire
Department. 1t was unpacked and
set up Friday at the Bell Tower.
The engine is the work of the Fire
Extinguisher Manufacturing Co. of
Chicago, and cost, landed here,about
$4,000. 1t has two tanks each with a
capacity of eighty gallons. 1t takes
twenty minutes TO empty each tank.
There is a cylindrical container con
nected with each tank which is filed
with bi-carbonate of soda and sui
phuric acid. This goes into the
water, and when the latter is thrown
on to the fire, carbon1c acid gas is
developed which extinguishes the
flames. The chemicals have not yet
arrived, but are expected by the
Australia on Tuesday. AS sooD as
they are received an experiment with
the engine will be made.
