Row ON A STEAMER.-While the
steamer George Leary was returning
from down the river with about 500
coored excursionists last night, shortly
before midnight, and just after leaving
this city, riot was started among
those on board. The row began among
number of drunken men, on account
oftwo women, Mary Jones and Mary
Brooks. Special Officer Smallwood,
colored, tried to quell the riot, but was
oyerpowered. Bottles and clubs were
used freely and pandemonium reigned
on the steamboat. When the dock
was reached Smallwood attempted to
make several arrests. The men, how
ever, broke away from him and made for
the cable cars. A distress call brought
two patrolmen, and they pursued them
through the angry crowd to the steamer.
There was large pile of cobble-stones
on the wharf, with which the rioters
armed themselves and threatened to
annihilate the police. A call for the
wagon was sent in, but when it arrived
the mob had disappeared. The two
women who were the cause OF the
battle on the Leary were locked up
and will be tried in the police court to-
day. Several of the combatants were
badly wounded, and it is reported one
man had an eye gouged out.

Why Not Return Bolton to the

What is the matter with Bolton,
a man of position and influence So
cially, politically and financially,
who has reflected honor upon his
parish and who can be elected
Speaker of the House, that he
should be politically ostracized
and be superseded by some one
without even local reputation and
who would be lrretrievably lost in
the labyrinthian mazes of the leg

We are not authorized to speak
for MI. Bolton and do not know if
he would accept a denomination,
but it is safe to assume that it he
did, he would execute in good faith.
the instructions of his constituents
on the financial and every other

The parish of Rapides will de
rive no credit or honor by his pc
litical ostracism and the substitu

Sweet potatoes are splendid, We

ample. More attention has been
given to stock and food proauc-

that the old aud we'll settled doc.
