We had light rain Sunday, ano
although inadequate, it afforded an
agreeable relief from the abomina.
/ BILE dust.
DR.. Parker's little son, George
came near meeting with serious
accident last Sunday. George is q
wee bit of q boy, and loves to ride
horseback. AS he was out riding
Sunday his horse ran away, and
after proceeding a good distance,
threw the little fellow off, but for
tunately without causing any SER
ious injury.
We do not know what to make
Of our public school. Prof. e. E.
Ortego was assigned as principal,
and Mrs. Mouillaud as assistant,
but up to this hour, Tuesday even
ing, nothing has been seen or heard
from Mr.. Ortego in regard to the
opening of the school, which should
have been done yesterday.
1t is amusing to see our mail
contractor Ca negro) since our mail
route has been changed to Opel
ousas, instead of Washington. He
insists on going to Washington,
although our assistant postmaster,
Mr.. Currie, refuses the mail for
that point. Mr.. Currie has received
a telegram to refuse the contractor
the mail if he does not want to
take it to Opelousas, and to hire
another carrier, which Mr.. G. has
done, but Mr.. Negro still persists,
and every morning he comes and
asks for the mail, which is duly
refused. The negro determined
not to be outdone, and proceeded
to Washington without the mail,
and made his report to the post
master at that place, who gave
him the same nothing" to come
back with.
We had a visit from Misses Her
nina Bodemuller, of Opelousas,
and Alice Trainor, of Washington,
accompanied by Mr.. Louis Des-
marais, Jr, of Opelousas, on last
Sunday.
Our change of schedule in the
mail service is a great benefit to
to our community. New Orleans
papers reach this Office the same
day they are published. JAKE.

We received a godsend blessing
last Sunday night, In the shape Of
a heavy shower of rain, which,
although not sufficient to give wa
ter for the stock, did a great deal
of good to fall vegetation. Tur-
nips, cabbage, etc., look fine.
One day last week, while testing
the capacity of new machinery,
Mr.. Hugh Evans undoubtedly
broke the record by turning out
twenty bales of cotton from sun-up
to sun-down eR a 70 saw Pratt gin
ginning, fifteen bales per
day.
Mr.. and Mrs. F. Il. Pitre, of Wash
ington, passed through Plaisance

Mrs. and Miss Truman, of Opel
ousas, passed here Monday.
Mr.. Alphonse Reed, of Opelousas,
accompanied some ladies through

BRIDGEPORT FIRE.
HILLS LIVERY STABLE PARTIALLY DE-
STR0YED YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.
The Origin Of the Fire a Mysisry-PrObably the
Work Of lncsndariss-The Loss and
the Insurance.

Yesterday afternoon about 1890 fro
was discovered In the rear OF the livery
and feed stable owned by Mrs. John w.
Hi, In Bridgeport. The alarm was
promptly given, but as no fire company
Is supported In Bridgeport tho Wheel
ing authorities were telephoned, and
promptly responded.
The Vigilant FIRE engine and the
Island hose cart and extinguisher were
At once sent over. The engine was not
used as the pumps could not be attached
10 the plugs. However, good pres
sure OF water was maintained, which
prevented the spreading OF the blaze to
the adjoining buildings.
The building was owned by Earl
Oglebay, former Bridgeport citizen,
and is Insured in a Wheeling agency.
IL can be repaired. rs the large timbers
are holding together solidiy and only a
portion OF the weatherbonrding was
torn OF. The main loss is on tho con
tents, which were insured In
the Milwaukee Mechanics, OF Milwau-
kee, and National Insurance Company,
OF Hartford, Conn, To the amount Of
$1,000 In each company.
lhe insurance Will not cover the con.
tents OF the stable by about 5000
There were eight horses in the stable,
which were gotten out In time.
AS VIM. Cloudy was leading out the
last two, he fell amid the binding
smoke, both horses passing him. and
narrowly missed trampling him TO the
floor. The stable contained, besides
the horses, two car loads OF bAled
hay SIX tons OF loose straw, a feed cut
ter, five sieighs and tho stable utensils
and articles which were stored there.
The harness and vehicles were saved.
Some mill feed was destroyed which
was delivered few minutes before the
FIRE was discovered, also the corn and
oats and very pretty side saddle be-
longing TO Miss Maggie Hill.
How the IRE oriPinated could not be
ascertained. Many persons are very
positive that IL was OF incendiary
origin. The spontaneous combustion
theory will not apply, as there was no
damp straw or manure where the fire
broke out.
The stable was a comparatively new
building, having been rebuilt about
three years ago, at which time the old
stable was burned to the ground. The
building is three stories high behind
and two In front. This Is the first blaze
OF any consequences In Bridgeport for
about three years. The last iro burned
the stable which stood In the same
place.
