THE EXCURSION.

The excursion on the steamer
Henrietta left our port last Sun
day morning with about $50 per-
sons. Their destination was Ar
naudville, but owing to the low
stage of the bayou, the boat could
not 90 further than Breaux Bridge
which place was reached at eleven
O'Clock. The trip going was very
pleasant and was enjoyed by every
one on board until the unfortu-
nate cutting of the cook of the
boat by Mr.. L. A. Olivier, which
created a panic and CONSERVATION
among the lady passengers.
While stopping at Breaux
Bridge the excursionists visited
friend and acquaintance while
the others went to see the races.
While passing the bridge at the
st. John plantation the boat was
delayed on account of several bar,
ges of coal, and Mr.. Grevembere
the affable manager, said he was
sorry to give the party such q
coal reception. But while talk.
ing of Mr.. Grevemberg's little
joke many of the excursionists re.
marked that they we're given g
cold reception at Breaux Bridge
without any coal in it at all.
Returning the boat left Breau2
Bridge at half past four O'Clock
and glided smoothly down the
beautiful Teche. The weather
was nice cool and pleasant. The
Excelsior brass band furnished
the music and the young people
awaited of this agreeable opportu.

was in front of the boat for dane.
ing, which was pleasantly indulg.
ed in until the boat reached st
Martinville.

THERE seems to be little doubt
that the Populists, who are hold

propose introducing some of their
old tricks again this year, and n
fusion will be made with the Re
publicans in every county where
they think there is a possibility of
electing Republican or Populite,

steadily losing strength, and the
combination between the POpulites
and Republicans can not make the
showdown they did even in 1892.
The bargain of the Alabama Re-
publicans in 1892, whereby the
Populist electors, if chosen, were
to vote for HARRISON, and koLB
was in turn to be chosen governor,
is the sensation of the present cam

the whole business. DELEMOs has

FOUL rLAY SUSPECTED.
Grave Suspicious Aroused by Sud
den Death at Ocklawaha.

Y
Gambler, Fla, Oct 3. - Word was
brought to town by ]. c Freeman of
Ocklawaha, three miles from here, that
Mrs. Fannie Stark had died there very
suddenly, and there were such grave sus-
picions of foul play that he thoughtit best
to inform the coroner. The circumstances
are as follows:
Several weeks ago Mrs. Stark sold her
place to Harter, and when she went off
She left some household effects temper
arily in the house. until she could remove
them. She came up last Satur-
day to get her things, and Hartcr
refused to give any of her things
up to her, and they had a quarrel
and it is stated he kicked Mrs Stark in
the side She retired to room in the
house where her goods We're stored, and
no one saw anything more of her until
yesterday morning. Harter told the
neighbors Mrs. Stark was dead He said
he heard her grooming in the night, and
going into her room to see what was
wrong, she tainted and died from fright.
The coroner is now at Ocklawaha hold
ing an inquest, and the indications are so
strong that the lady was injured by Har-
ter, that there is scarcely any doubt that
he is responsible for her death. Both he
and his wife were arrested yesterday.
