Resolved, That the action OF
this body in April, 1893, rejecting
the report of the reviewers on tn
road from Colfax to Doggy bayou,
be and the same is hereby recon

Resolved, That the road as locat-

copied, and the hands apportioned
for the year 1898 are continued as
hands on the road SO established.
On motion the president was re-
quested to communicate with the
Diebold Safe and Lock Co. of Cam

combination of the Starns q Mar

The Storm of Death.

On last Sunday night and Mon
day the most terrific and pro-
tracted storm visited the Gulf
coast that has ever been known by
the inhabitants of that region. 1t
is estimated that fifteen hundred
lives were lost, and that millions
of dollars worth of houses, stock
and crops have been destroyed.
Grand Isle, Bayou Cook, Grand
Chenier, Shell Bsach, Pearl River
and the Chandelier Islands suffer-
ed most, but death and destruction
are reported in the entire path of
the storm, all the way from Yer
million and Cote Blanch bays to
the city of Mobile, and it is feared
that the total number of deaths
will be more than two thousand
when word is received from all
points. The storm in Louisiana
prevailde almost without cessation
from s o'clock Sunday night to Z
o'clock Monday morning, and the
suffering, distress and death OF the
victims as they struggled in oceans
of water that rushed inland, and
the beating rains and terrifying
winds of the hurricane, completely
beggars description.

borhood by G. G. Richards into the
Colfax and Pineyille near Reeds
mill was laid over under the rules.
On motion of HI. M. Hutson the
oyerseer on that part of the Colfax
and Liberty Chapel road from
James Swafford's new place to Nc
Arrington's was authorised to
change same near said Swafford
place near half way point between
L. d. P. Lotion and McArrington's,
the distance being under one mile.
The reviewers of Buckeye land
ing road reported that they had
discharged their duty SO as to place
the proposed road entirely upon
the land of G. III. Teal and had as
sesed the damage at fifteen dollars,
whereupon HI. V. Mccain offered
the following resolution, which was
adopted:
Resolved, That the report of the
reviewers of the Buckeye Land
ing road be and the same is here
by received and reviewers dis
charged; but that further action is
deferred, for the reason that Mr.. j.
A. Hyde's proposition to stand be-
tween the parish and damages has
not been complied with, and for
the further reason that there is
now a suit pending which will
when decided settle the entire
question now at issue.
The Jury then went into commit
tee of the whole to consider claims.
The claim of j. e. Walker for
burial clothes was rejected as not
properly coming through the cor
oner and within legal limits.
The claim of ten dollars for Mrs.
Dave Smith, eight children, and
two son-in-law, rejected.
Adjourned until Tuesday Sd inst.
October 8, 1893, 8 a. m.

journment, full board present,
and resumed business as commit
tee of the whole in the considera-
ton of claims, and the following
claims were allowed:

A Gratifying Condition.

The Constitutional Convention
of 1879 fixed six mills as the limit
on State taxation. McEnery tried
for six years to run the State on
that limitation and retired from Of
fee leaving large amount of out
standing unpaid warrants. Nichols
succeeded McEnery and for four
years ran the State government,
paid the intesest on the bonded
debt of the State and left cash
balance of the interest and general
fund and left not q single unpaid
warrant against his administration.
In 1890 McEnery and Foster
were rival candidates for Cover
nor. McEnery, in his letter of ac-
ceptanace said that the State gov
eminent could not be run on six
mill limitation, and he had his six
years term as Governor to prove
the correctness of his assertion.
Foster stumped the State, saying
it could be run on that limita-
ton, and cited the Nichols adj
ministration as proof that it had
been done and that it could be
done again. Foster was elected,
and we state it with authority, that
the interest on the bonded debt of
the State has been paid to July /,
1893, and that there is in the State
treasury more than four hundred
thousand dollars to the credit of
the interest fund. And we further
state that every warrant against
State treasury for the Foster adj
ministration has been paid, asy-
lums, schools, hospitals and pub
lie institutions have been literally
provided for, and there are to-day
several hundred thousand dollars
in the treasury % the credit of the
general fund.
The above statement ought to
be gratifying to the tax payers Of
Louisiana. Murphy j. Foster has
been a faithful representative Of
the peoples interest. He has been
a conscientious, painstaking Gov
ernor. He has to-day the conf
dence, the respect and admiration
of the men of all factions of the
party elected him. He is Dem
ocat, public spirited, and axious
to heal all difference between the
good men of the State. Then let
no man complain without cause
against an honest administration
of the State government of LOUISE
ana.-Mer Rouge Vidette.

The Wilson Bill.

The bill, known as the Wilson
bill, which proposes the repeal of
the purchasing clause of the Sher-
man act, was passed by the House
of representatives by vote of 239
to ITO. The bill as passed reads as
follows:
To repeal part of an act ap-
proved July IA, 1890, entitled, "an
act directing the purchase of silver
bullion and the issue of treasury
notes thereon, and for other pur-
poses" Be it enacted, etc., that 80
much of the act approved July IA,
1880, entitled, "an act directing
the purchase of silver bullion and
issue of treasury notes thereon,
and for other purposes" as directs
the secretary of the treasury to
purchase from time to time silver
bullion to the aggregate amount OF
$500, 900 ounces, or SO much there
of as way be offered in each month,
at the market price thereof not ex-
ceeding 81 for 81 25-1OO grains of
pure silver, and to issue in pay
ment for such purchases treasury
notes of the United States, be and
the same is hereby repealed; but
this repeal shall not impair, or In
any manner affect, the legal tender
quality of the standard silver dol
lars heretofore coined and the faith
and credit of the United States are
hereby pledged to maintain the
parity of the standard gold and sill
yer coins of the United States at
present legal ratio, or such other ra-
ito as may be established by law.
To this bill Mr.. Bland, of Mis-
souri,, offered an amendment pro-
viding for free coinage at the pres
emit ratio of 16 to /. This amend
ment was defeated by vote of 22e
nays to 124 yeas, and among the
minority we find Louisiana's three
Democratic representatives, Boat
ner, Blanchard and Robertson.

The claims of w. B. Richardson,
for $50 for repairing bridge, was
laid over until his bond could be
produced +.
The committee of the whole was
then raised, and the body proceed
ed with regular order of business.
The report of the committee to
build bridge across Fish creek
on Lincecum ferry road was read,
received and committee discharged,
and the president authorized to
warrant for $75 in the favor of
G. G. McCay and John Martin
builders.
The finance committee submitted
written report, in substance that
they had no report to make, as but
very little taxes had been collected
and no settlement made as yet be-
between the sheriff and treasurer.
A communication was received
from Mrs. G. E. P. Calhoun, ask
ing that the police jury take action
to protect her tenants from the de-
predations of stock, ETC., caused by
the general public passing through
her place, travelling over her lands,
leaving the gates open, etc. She
requests that lane be built from
the town limits of Colfax to the
Darro bridge, so as to. afford the
public a means of reaching the
court house and at the same time
afford protection to her interests.
On motion of III. V. Mccain the
following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That the president OF
this body and w. L. Richardson
be and they are hereby appointed
a committee to examine into the
status of the road from Colfax to
Bayou Darro bridge and ascertain
if same has any legal existence; al
SO to estimate the probable cost OF
building 3-wire and 2-plank fence
on the south side Of said road from

side of said road from G. II. Teals
line at or near the first bridge go

Very Poor Apology.

Last week we spoke of the bad
behavior of two men connected
with Capt. G. G. Hayden's U. s.
surveying party in Red river. The
guilty parties are w. ]. High, OF
Shreveport, and w. w. Garrett, OF
Campte, who got drunk and acted
altogether shamefully while in Col
fax, and then got away by the assist
ance of the Captain and his crew.
Capt. Hayden denies any response
bility in the matter, alleging in
letter of apology to Mr.. r. R. Jeter
that the parties had been discharg-
ed at this point, and he could not
therefore be held to answer for
their acts. This is all very well;
but why did Capt. Hayden allow
them the use of his boat to avoid
the officer and escape arrest?
