The attention of the overseer on
che road from the Burnt bridge to
Rigolette bridge is called to the
f.ct that several logs and a large
amount of drift is lodged against
the first named bridge, and that it
Is liable to injure the bridge if not
removed. A good axe hand can
remedy the evil in about one hour,
by cutting three or four of the
main logs into short lengths, SO
that the entire mass could pass
under the bridge when the water
rises.

The lowest estimate yet given
out of the strength of the Demo-
cratic party in the next Congress is
$50 members. This would give
the Democrats working majority
OF four members, enough for all
practical purposes. In years like
the present, when there has been
80 much to cause unrest and dis
content among the people, it is i'm
possible to prognosticate the result
of the election with any degree of
accuracy. There may be a land
slide, as in 1890 and again in 1892,
but of this no man can tell at this
date. If, under existing circum-
stances, the Democrats are able to
save themselves, even by bare
majority, it will be a most unusual
victory to win. Baton Rouge ADV.

allied that he was seriously sick, and con-
gestion and death ensued rapidly. His

miles north of Colfax, q number of friends
and relatives being present to assist in
the last sad rites. Thus ever "The dear
ones are gathering home," and our be-
reaved hearts are left alone with the only
consolation known for human woe, the
balm left by our blessed Saviour, "of such
is the Kingdom of heaven"

DIR. JOSEPH B. GREEN.
A Jefferson County Physician Receives an Appointment as Surgeon in
 the Navy Department.

Dr. Joseph B. Greene received notice yes- terday morning of his appointment as sur geon in the navy department, and he will leave in short time for Staten Island, N. Y., where he will be stationed.
 Dr. Greene is brother of Judge Samuel B. Greene of the Jefferson county criminal court, and son of MT. Robert N. Greene.
 He graduated at the University of Ala . bama and then took two years' course Tn the medical department of the University of Virginia, after which he further pursued his studies at Johns Hopkins, in Balti- more, where for six months he practiced in the hospital of that institution.
 Returning home last spring he stopped over on his way in Washington and passed examination for an appointment in the de- partment of the navy, standing third in a class of between thirty and forty. At that time there were only two vacancies and pr. Greene had to await another before he could be appointed.
 Dr. Greene's position pays well, for the first two years his salary being S2000 an- nually, the third year $30O0, and thereafter $4000 a year. The govern ment pays his board in addition to his salary.
 Surgeons are appointed for life.
 Dr. Greene is a Jefferson county boy and his hosts of friends here congratulate him on his appointment.

TWO SMALL FIRES.

Sunday morning at 10 o'clock an alarm was turned h from box 15, corner of Fifth avenue and Twenty-tiith street, to which the fire department promptly responded: :: The run was needless, as the blaze proved to be one easily overcome and was extin- guished before the laddies arrived. A de- fective fiue had started the blaze in the roof of the residence of Capt. J. W. Fitzpatrick, and did but little damage.
 Yesterday morning at Il :30 telephone and box alarm, both almost simultaneous, called the department to Seventh avenue, between Twenty-third and Twenty fourth streets. Fire had been discovered in the roof of Kitchen in the residence of MT. John McCaffey, No. 2321 Seventh avenue. Neighbors rushed in and were fighting bravely, but Intellectually, and the flames would soon have unicated to the main structure but for the timely arrival of Chief Mullins men. The fire was as good as gone then, for they made short work of 1t. The damage was slight.

A DIAbOLICAL CRIME.

 FROM AMBUSH.
 CHARLESTON, s. C.. Oct. 29.-A special from Green wood to the News and Courier, dated today. says: A most diaboIical crime was committed here last night while the colored folks were returning from prayer meeting. A party was waylaid and shot into. One man was killed, one woman shot in three places and another man had his clothes riddled with bullets. The cor oner's inquest has been in session all day, and tonight adjourned for further infor- nation, as the assassin has confessed.
 A requisition for the bloodhounds in this neigh borhood was made without favorable effect this afterooon, and now the si.ua- tion Is that if the party can be taken away from the officers a lynching is probable. The colored people are very much stirred up over the tragedy. The inouest was ad- iourned until tomorrow.

MAKERS OF QUEER.
Two Men Arrested for Making and Passing Counterfeit $10 Gold
 Pieces.

Deputy United States Marshals J. R. Perkins and w. I. Love went over into Walker county Sunday and captured two white men who are charged with making and passing counterfeit money.
 One of them, c. c. Frost, 1t is said, is a deputy sheriff in Walker county, and an ex- United States deputy marshal. The other is James w. Branton.
 The spurious coin they are charged with making and passing is $1O gold pieces, said to be perfect in size and external ap- pearance, but without the true ring of the precious metal.
 It is said that quite umber of these coins have been put in circulation, those not frequently handling the yellow money being unable to detect it's fraudulence.
 It is believed that gang of counterfeters have their headquarters in the vicinity of Corona, where Frost and Branton were ar rested, and that they have abundant ap- paratus for manufacturing their product ana splendid system ofdistributin them.
 Frost and Branton will be tried in United States Commissioner Wilson s court today.
