A Fatal Accident

The following is special from
Houma to the New Orleans Picayuns
Of Feb. 80. Felix Bonvillain, who
had such a narrow escape from a
most horrible death, is the brother
of Mrs. J. L. Duhart of this town,
and is well known in Lafayette.
''To-day at 3 O'Clock p. M, on the
Laurel Farm plantation of Mrs. c..
Bonvillian, situated on bayou Black,
miles from town, the boiler of the
draining machine exploded, killing
three boys and wounding four 9th ers,
one of which the doctors declare
will die, thus making the total cas-
ualties four. At the time Of the ex-
plosion Mr.. Felix Bonvillian, man
ager on said plantation, was stand
ing over the boiler with St. Clair
Quick and colored man name d
Johnson Clement, who had charge
of the machine. None of the men
were hurt, though badly shocked
from the noise of the explosion.
The three boys that were killed and
the four that were wounded were
fishing at the time on the banks Of
9 levee, just in the rear of the
draining machine. All three BOYS
are colored. The names of the
killed are: John Clement, Jr., aged
"A years; Wilt Rollins, aged 12
years, and George McKinner, Jr.,
aged 10. Young Clement had the
top part of his head and his brains
completely blown away. A brother
of George McKinner,, Jr., was badly
and the doctors declare he
cannot live. John Matthews, col |
ored man on the place, had two boys
badly scalded; Joe Martin, aged IL
years, was badly SCALED.

New Hampshire is another in line

matter is that all this cry against the

hensible methods by which the
wealthy classes seek to avoid paying
tribute to the government. It is in
line with those Industries that raise
such . howl against tariff reform
simply because it affects the pro-
sected profits they have SO long en-
joyed under republican high robber

learn to bear and be compelled to
pay their share Of the government
