Dry kilns Burned.

Friday night, at9:30 o'clock, a fire
was discovered in the drying kilns of
the Woodwork Lumber Company, one
mile below Monroe. When the fire
was first discovered it was thought it
could be easily controlled, as eyery
preparation to fight fire had been
made. The elevated tanks surround
ing the mill property were full of
water and hose were immediately at
tached, stream of wafer was playing
on the fire, and when the fire was
nearly under control the couplings
broke, and about the same time a stiff
breeze sprung up, which famed the
flames, and before many minutes all
the kilns we're on fire, burning. over
100000 feet Of lumber, twenty-four
kilns and a half-mile of tramway. The
loss is estimated at $4,000, with not a
cent OF insurance. It has not been
much over year when the same par
ties lost their entire plant by fire, en-
falling loss of S25,OOO.

The Storm in Louisiana.

Dispatches received from many
points in Louisiana report that
droughts of from four to eight weeks
duration were broken Friday night by
copious and refreshing rains, which
will greatly benefit all crops. In
Nachitocaes and adjacent parishes
large corn crop is now assured. At
Monroe, La, the rain storm was one
OF the seyerest in years. Many fields
of corn, large numbers of trees and a
great many fences were blown down
and some houses wrecked. A few cat:
tie were killed and half dozen persons
are reported wounded, with only one
whose life is despaired of. The Mer
Rouge country, twenty miles north Of
Monroe, suffered greatly from severe
hail storm that accompanied the wind
and rain, crops being badly damaged.
The rain is general and will be great
blessing to the farmers, gardeners and
cattle men of North Louisiana, the sec
ton that suffered so severely from the
drought last season.

If the farmers along the line of the
Houston Central road, from Mer
Rouge to Alexandria, do not 90 into
the raising of early potatoes for the
Northern market next year, it will not
be because they have not had an OBJ
ject lesson taught them this spring.
Those who had the enterprise this
spring to plant early potatoes and to
ship them have reaped profit over
and above all expenses of $50 an acre,
and in some instances more than that.
That boots cotton, and not only that,
cotton can be planted after the pota-
toes have been dug, thus making two
crops on the same acreage.

Give, 'E,nl AWAY.

As the result Of a family quarrel,
Phil. Oster, counterfeiter, of nation
al reputation, surrendered himself at
police headquarters in New Orleans,
Friday evening, and made complete
confession of his nefarious transactions
in spurious coin. Upon Oster's state
ment, Mrs. Alvin Adams, his sister-in-
law, and James and Williem Murray,
his brothers-in-law, were also taken
into custody. Oster's story to the po-
lice is that he commenced bis career as
a counterfeiter while serving a FIVE
years term for burglary, in the Missis-
sippi penitentiary. There he made in
all about $4,000, which he passed
through TRUSTEES and others. Upon
his release in Mississippi he was ar
rested upon the confession of an &C.
complete and sent to the Chester, Iii
nois, penitentiary, where he served
four years. Later, he settled in New
Orleans and became involved in nu-
merous crimes of various sorts. For
the last six or seven months, under the
alias of Spaulding, he has carried on
the business of counterfeiting,in which
he had become expert. The counter
felt coins were all dollars and were
made of mixture Of tin, anthony
and other metals, in plaster Of paris
moulds, and washed with silver. In
appearance they were perfect and had
good ring, but the weight was slight
" deficient.
