A Chicago correspondent who has
been visiting Fargo, North Dakota,
gives a graphic description of life in
the divorce colony" The hotels, it
seems, are well filled with ninety day
residents who are waiting as patiently
as possible the expiration of the three
months period which will enable them
to secure a legal separation, and the
town has become a regular winter re-
sort, with comfortable sun-parlors, af-
ter the fashion of the New Jersey win
ter hotels, and many social accessories
not often found in a city Of ten or
twelve thousand inhabitants. 1.-THE
social life in Fargo" says the CORE
spondent referred to, SIS far above the
average Of small towns. Last night
there was a masquerade ball, Thursday
night there is to be german, and din
ners and luncheons are everyday oc-
currencesl"

Louisiana is thought to have the lar
gest farm in the world, a tract extend
ing one hundred miles north and south
and twenty-five miles east and west.
1t was bought some twelve years ago
by a syndicate of northern capitalists,
by whom it. is now operated, and the
fencing alone is said to have cost $780,
900. The principal crops are rice, SUI
gar, corn and cotton.

Bullfighters make more money than
anybody else in Spain, their salaries
being much greater than the incomes
of any except the highest of the mobiles,
and comparing fairly well even with
the stealings OF colonial officials. In
the past year O. toreador named Guer-
rita appeared sixty-eight times and
pocketed $685. 900 francs. Another, Rev
erie, has made thirty-eight appear
ances and netted 143, 500 francs, while
Mazzantini, with twenty-nine battles
to his credit, took 131, 900 francs, Bonn
bita $4,000 francs and Algabigno 49,
600 francs. Taking into account the
value of the bulls and the cost of trans
port, it is estimated that Spain each
year spends more than five millions on
this so-called sport. Over thousand
bulls were killed by the chosen few of
the public, who only number twenty
three throughout the whole country.
The State of Mississippi has made
what appears to be a successful at
tempt to solve the question as to the
employment of it's convicts. The State
has a farm, embracing some 5000 acres

The women of St. Louis want repre-
sentation on the school board, and as
the simplest way of securing it has had
a bill drawn UP which, if passed, will
put an end to the existing masculine
monopoly of school management in the
State of Missouri. 1t provides that in
all towns, cities and school districts
the governing bodies of the schools
shall be composed of an equal number
of men and women, and no board shall
be composed of more than twelve mem
bers. They have issued long and
eloquent petition to voters, asking sup
port for their measure and giving many
good reasons why it should become a
law.

an autopsy disclosed the fact that
he died from the bursting OF an

ulcer. 1t was generally supposed
that Sanders was the guilty party

Sunday afternoon, when the OIL
GERS arrested and jailed a negro
named Porter, an employe of the
oil mill, and charged him with
this dastardly crime. Of course,
the officers in charge of the matter
have not made public the reasons
they had had for suspecting and
arresting Porter, but we take it
for granted that the state must be

DESFORGES PARDONED

The expected has happened,
therefore, there is no surprise. On
April 1, Octave Desforges will be
liberated from the penitentiary
with all the rights, privileges and
responsibility of good citizenship.
Desforges, Doodle councilman of
New Orleans, was convicted by a
fair trial, during which he exer-
cised every ingenuity to defeat
justice and escape the ignominy
of felon. Had he less political
influence, if he was a poor man,
he would doubtless have served
the full term of his sentence, but
by the grace of Gov. Murphy j.
Foster and the Intervention of the
pardoning board, Desforge will be
released from prison a full fledged
gentleman. Desforges, of course,
unless consummate migrate, must
be under lifelong obligation to
Governor Foster and must stand
by him to the end of his political
scheming.
To say the least, the pardonine
of Desforges is travesty on JUS
tice, reflection on the State, al
outrage on the people.
Why should Governor Foster
be ever ready and willing to stand
between justice and the law break

About midnight on Thursday of
last week a white lady living a
short distance north of town, was
awakened by negro who had bro
ken into her dwelling and was
clutching her by the throat. After
desperately struggling with the
brute, the lady offered to give up
the money in the house if he
would desist in his fiendish de-
signs. Catching hold of the lady
by the hair, this black monster
dragged her to a bureau where
she secured five dollars (sll the
cash in the house) !, and handed it
to her assailant, who then left the
premises. The lady's husband
works at night at the oil mill, and
she was alone with her infant.

was given, when the officers re-

BLOOD AND CARNAGE.
CONvICTs ON THE RAMPAGE.
THEY MAKE A BREAK FOR LIBERTY
AND CREATE CONSIDERATION.

Plaquemine Home Journal.
There is the greatest excitement
in the city this afternoon at the
hour Of going TO press over the
daring escape and tragic death OF
a number of cOnvicts at the Hic-
key levee, where four hundred
State prisoners, in the camps, I'M
der Capts. Jemeyson and Pollette,
are located.
The dash for liberty was made
about half-past three o'clock by
what seems to have been an organ
lied band of prisoners. 1t has re-
suited in frightful loss of human
life, while a score or more OF
guards and convicts are MORALLY
wounded and crippled for life. The
greatest CONSERVATION prevails and
the surrounding country is in. a
state of terror from the fact that
at least a dozen desperate crimi-
nails are skulking about to effect
their escape and elude the officers
of the law upon their track. The
prisoners in camp are evidencing
manv Indications of riot and mutt
ny and it is feared that they will
take advantage of the situation
and before morning overpower the
insufficient guards, take the law in
their own hands, escape, and in
wade the town in quest of clothing
and arms.
Work on the levee was progress
sing as usual this afternoon until
a few minutes past three o'clock,
when convict Tim Aikens sudden
ly threw up his hands, uttered a
yell and fell to the ground foam
; ing and frothing at the mouth. He
appeared to be dying, which was
sufiicientto attract the attention
of the guards near by. Humanely
enough they approached the pros
trate man to render aid. While
thus giving him their attention fiji
teen convicts, headed by Pierre
Berlin, made a rush over the en-
bankment for liberty. Three Oh
them hourished revolvers, which
had been concealed in theil
lclothes. There was a dozen stimuli.

guards, which the three armed
convicts promptly and feelingly
returned. The escaping prisoner

Boats for Camp Washington.

Yesterday the National Guard went into
camp at Fort Washington, and in order to
provide the many people who will wish TO
see them with proper means OF trans
portation, the Mt. Vernon and Marshall
Hall Steamboat Company will have their
boats make several trips there each day.
They have very happily arranged for the
steamer River Queen to leave from the
Manchester wharf at $50 p m. SO that
the boat will reach The Fort III comfortable
time for the visitors to watch the dress
parade. The popularity of the soldier boy
is too indisputable to doubt for a moment
that there will be big crowds there every
day as long as the camp lasts. Tonight
and tomorrow night the Macaiester will
also make the Indian Head trip, leaving
Seventh street wharf at $50, touching
at Marshall Hall each way, probably also
calling at Fort Washin gton. Schroeders
band will be on the boat. and will also
play for the dancers at Marshall Hall.
