Chas. H. VOORHEES, Dead.

On June 10Th, ChaS. ID. Noor-
HES and Michel Fournet had some
words over trifling matter, quite
late in the evening, which termi-
mated in a shooting scrape, in
which VOORHEES, received three
wounds, two in the thigh and one
in the foot, Fournet was not woun-
ded.
At the time of the shooting
VOORHEES, wounds were not consi-
dered fatal.
The wounds in the leg healed
nicely, but the foot wound day al
ter day developed SYMPTOMS which
we're quite alarming. His family
and friends seeing that he was
growing worse every day, decided
last Sunday to take him to the
Charity Hospital in New Orleans,
where they thought he would re-
ceive better treatment, but they
we're mistaken in this, as he reach
ed the hospital Sunday evening,
sustained the operation of the
foot the next day which apparent
ly gave some relief to the sufferer,
but Tuesday he grew worse and
died.
His remains were brought here
on the four o'clock train and bu-
ried in the Catholic cemetery.
VOORHEES, was aged 35 years and
leaves a wife and 3 children to
mourn his demise.
The cause of the unfortunate
difficulty as far as We could ascer-
tain is as follows: Two or three
days previous to the shooting
VOORHEES, had gone fishing with
friends at Bayou Millien where
Fournet resides; VOORHEES, bar
rowed from Fournet a fish net
with the understanding that if
any damage was done to the net
that VOORHEES, would pay for.
Fournet claimed that his net was
damaged and called on VOORHEES,
for payment.
They talked apparently in a
friendly way, in low and unex-
cited tone. Their conversation
was so calm and seemed 80 natu-
raj that those who were about ten
feet away from them were not at
tracted by the excitement in their
talk, except the last two or three
words which were exchanged be-
tween them, and as soon the re-
volvers were out, and they were
firing at each other, with the re-
suit stated above. The first shots
were fire dsemultaneously .Fournet
fired three shots, all he had in his
revolver, and all three took effect
VOORHEES, fired four shots without
effect.
The unfortunate affair is very
much deplored by our people.

The press of New Orleans is
bitterly opposed to the bill recent
ly passed by the legislature, make
the judiciary of New Orleans cleo
tive instead of appointive as here
tofore. The election methods in
the Crescent City are so fraudu-
lent and corrupt, that the honest
element of the city fear that the
judiciary will fall under the con-
troll of the 'hoodlum ring that
run New Orleans. The way things
are going in New Orleans will
surely bring a conflict between
the best element und the hood
lums at the next election. And
when that comes, we anticipate
much shedding of blood.

the young people and older ones Of

Meats, flour, sugar, coffee, fruits,

done. Nothing small about it. For
two hours the time was spent happily
and by none more SO than by the

ever feel that "the lines have fallen

people of Maryville, regardless of

shoulders to this burden and meet
this necessity with the building re-
quired. Praise the dear Lord for the
prosperity of the school.

A SAD DEATH.
A Popular Young Lady Of Loudon
form ally ofthls place passesaway

n PODuiaF Oun2 Lazy OF LOuuOn
form ally ofthls place passesaway.
With genuine sorrow, the news Of
the death Of Miss Mona Greer, was
received in Maryville Thursday morn
ing. This young lady was known
here as this was her fathers home for
number of years. She was the
daughter Of Mr.. James NJ. Greer
She was highly accomplished and
blessed with lovabe sweet disposit-
ion which won the hearts of all she
met and, if true of anyone, it is true
of her that none knew her but to love
her. She died Of Consumption and
was buried in the old Presbyterian
grave yard by the side of her mother
and sister. A large party came over
from Loudon and Knoxville as the
young lady was well known and has
many relatives in the latter city. AT
ter the large number of friends from
'hls place had gathered in the Presby-
terian church it was nearly full. Dr..
Bartlett preached very touching and
eloquent sermon after which the large
congregation of friends were permitted
to look for the last time upon the re-
mains of the friend. who had won
such high place in their hearts and
in the sleep of death looked as though
in natural sleep. Never has there
been a funeral in Maryville where
there were so many mourners, as all
there Joined their tears with those of
of the near and dear ones, for all who
knew her felt almost as though one of
their own family circle had been TAX
en- away. Peace be to her ashes and
may she be, as she said she would be,
standing at the gates Of the Beautiful
City, with harp in her hand, to well
come her loved ones home.
