jeans pants, etc. The last incident
of the grave affair, however, is the
pretended falling of Councilman
Dudoussat into trap set by the
famous Dominick O'Malley, a pri-
vate detective in the city of New
Orleans. O'Malley enjoys rather
an unsavory reputation, and the
statement made by him and corrob-
GRATED, however, by several wit
nesses, that he caught Dudoussat in
the very act of receiving bride of
800 reads like one of those famous
detectives stories that we read about
and needs confirmation. 1t sounds
so unnatural for q man, already under
one indictment for receiving bride
of $l400, to venture and expose
himself to the clutches of the law
for the paltry sum of 500, when
already one bribe-taker has been
tried and convicted, that we cannot
make up our mind to believe it.
But if Dudoussat is guilty, do not
spare him and give him the maxi
mum penalty for his efrontery and
scoundrelisin.

( began to smash the windows of the
coaches IN frantic attempts to get air.
Driven back by the flames eating up
| the sides of the freshlv-varnished
coaches, they stood in baffled amaze
ment for a moment, when dozens OF
them in sheer desperation tumbled
through the open spaces to- the
ground below, some being instantly
killed by the fall, and others linger-
ing in the horrible heat and smoke
until suffocated.
In spite of the fact that the tram
was on FIRE from the engine to the
rear end brake, the train crew brave
ly stood at their post and ran the
train back the entire six miles to
Skunk Lake, where the passengers
rushed out and into the water. Some
of them were in such a state of ex-
haustion that they were unable to
walk. and half dozen were entirely
unconscious; all the latter we're rolled
in the mud and water and laid on
their backs just far enough out into
the lake to keep the water from run
ming into their mouths. All around
the lake the forests were roaring with
great fury. Many of the people in
the water were still in such state of
excitement that they stood and offer
ed prayers in loud voice for de-
liverance. The scene was one of
the most remarkable ever witnessed.

list of dead reaches $50. OF some
who tookrefuge IN the swamp with
their teams, there was none left to
tell the tale, and IN space of little
less than fiyes acres were counted
$50 corpses. A train of refugees
started from Hinckley with 800 per-
sons, and the engineer, James Root,
a hero now, thought he could over
come the flames, but as they were
coming after and bearing down on
him at a sixty.mlle gait, they soon
overlook the train, set it on fire,
broke the windows from the heat,
and Root had to turn back with his
crazed human freight, and, atsthe
peril of his life, brought them back
to pond where they took refuge.
Scenes of this kind are to us I'M
conceivable; we have overhows
sometimes, but at least we are given
a timely warning and never have to
run for our lives. Only one man
perlshed in the overflow of last
year; fleeing for our lives be-
fore the demon Of fire is never
known to us. Neither have we
to suffer from strikes, from an
archists, or be in terror concerning
our lives or the lives OF those that
are dear to US. After all, Louisiana
has its drawbacks, but for the man
who does not want to race through
life, but to take things easy and
make comfortable living for him
self and family with little work and
plenty of leisure, there is no State
better than that of Louisiana.

No doubt, there is something rotten
In Denmark, and the conviction of
j. T. Callahan, after trial of one
week, is a sign that the grand jury
has done good work. They deserve
the unstinted praise that Judge
Noise gave them, when he dis
charged them, for they did their
duty in way that deserved COM
mendation. And now that these
city councilmen have been indicted,
let them be prosecuted to the full
extent of the law, and if they are
guilty and have served the city Of
New Orleans in such an efficient
manner, it is time for them to do
something for the state at large, to
help building Ieyees or making
