WEATHER-CROP BULLETIN.
FOR THE WEEK ENDING JUNE IA '92.

The rainfall during the past week
has been deficient in all portions of
the State, exceptin a few of the south
eln parishes where a normal fall was
measured. Showers have been quite
general during the past two DAYS,
however. and will in a measure relieve
the dryness complained of by cores
pondents living in the outlying parish
es who rendered their reports too early
to include these later rains.
The temperature and sunshine have
been above the normal in nearly all
sections.
Crops have not received sufficient
rain for their proper development, but
the warmth and sunshine have been
very beneficial. Cotton, cane and
rice have progressed rapidly in growth;
corn has been somewhat checked bv
dry weather, and the smaller products
of the gardens have suffered still more
severely from the same cause.

Napoleonville, Parish of Assumption, J

about twelve men, of whom four were
white. With this heavy load, when
the boat was pushed into the current
the rope by which the ferry was a
aged broke some of the machinery,
causing the boat to turn around and
finally break loose, the rope catching
and forcing the mules to IN side of
the boat, and by their weight bursting
the guards on one side, precipitating
men and animals into the bayou. A
cry was raised, and the citizens of Ma
poleonville, believing that there was a
%creyasse, rushed to the bayou to dis
cover ever a more dire misfortune.
The darkness was so intense that the
struggling men and animals conld be
seen with difficulty. Every assistance
possible was given to rescue the un-
fortunate men. The mules swan to
the shore, and the men held to the
boat, which was filed with water and
floating down the stream. Edmond

an overseer on the Foley plantation,
Jacomini Nardelli, a well-known citi-
zen of that town, an Italian, name un-
known, and a negro, Robert Aiken,

sheriff, was rescued as he was clinglng
to a small plank, with strength about

On Tuesday evening, by the means
of a strong rope, the locomotive of the
Southern Pacific Branch road, pulled
this ferry boat from against the main
pier of the bridge, on the batture of
the leyee. This was found necessary,
as the boat while lying sideways, and
entirely under water, acted as an i'm
pediment against the flow ofthe waters

Furlong had quarrel with James john
son, another of the sailors, and the men
began stabbing each other with their
sheath-knives. Johnson for a time seemed
like a maniac, and as the men struggled
back and forth on the deck, he struck
wildly at Furlong with his knife.
William " OOd, John W elsh and Will

com mbatants, but were cut and slashed in
sickening manner, and the fOrecastle
floor was soon slippery with blood.
| Johnson himself was bleeding from sew
eral wounds, but it was not till others
of the ships crew grappled with him
that he was overcome. Reid and Wood
had a narrow escape for their lives, and
had not their shipmates come to their
assistance, would probably have been
hacked to death.
\ squad of police was summoned and
all five men were charged with assault to
murder. J Johnson and turlong being held
as the principals. Both OF the latter are
in a serious condition.
According to the story told by Welsh.

very vigorous, if not scientific, catch as
catch-can wrestling match between the
two detectives and of one the smartest

time.
The fleeing man was Gus Heberding,
who is wanted at Sacramento on at least
one charge of grand larceny and prob
ably half dozen more, and for whom
the detectives have been on the outlook
Tor several days. Heberding and a fellow
crook forged number of checks which
they succeeded in passing upon credulous
business men, telling them that they were
the owners of a large lot of horses which
| they were bringing to San Francisco. The

arrested was for passing a check. on
which he got 500 in coin.
Detectives Bee and HARPER found
Heberd1ng on Mason street, near Ellis.
and when accosted he submitted quietly
to arrest, and walked along quietly with
the officers. Suddenly he made break
for liberty and ran down Mason street.
The detectives finally overhauled him
and took him to the City Prison to await

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Surgeon-Gen-
eral Wyman Of the Marine Hospital
Service, in answer to questions as to the
danger Of temperance of cholera the
coming summer, said: 1.-TWO factors rem
der the situation serious. One is the ap-
pearance OF fresh cases in Hamburg, and
the other the continued prevalence of the
disease in Russia. Great care has been
exercised to prevent its gaining foot
hold on this side of the Atlantic. The
speedy passage of a bill giving clearly-de-
fined powers to make precautionary reg
ulations, with sufficient appropriations
to make them effective, is extremely de-
sirable. Despite the efforts to stop immi-
grafton from the infected countries, emf
grants of those countries are persistent in
their efforts to reach the United States.
There is also danger of cholera reaching
the United States from the Island of
Cuba, because of the close commercial in
tercourse between Cuba and Spain and
other European ports.'
The regulations of the circular of Au-
gust 18th, regarding the Importation of
rags, DR.. Wyman said had been enforced
all reports to the contrary notwithstand-
ing.
