HOME LABOR
TIE CRESCENT CITY AGITATED
EXTENSIVELY.
Unemployed -Four Hundred Want Dip
In the Five Million Drain
Fund.
Special Wire to Sunday Light.

Special Wire to Sunday Light.
New Orleans, July IA meeting of
unemployed men was held here today,
at which there were present about four
hundred persons. 1t was remarkably
temperate meeting, due mainly to
Eugene B. Bacarisse, who was the
leading speaker of the meeting. He is
student and orator and advised calm
ness and elaboration and above all
things organization, without which he
declared no good results could be had.
The meeting had been called mainly
through the efforts of August Graft, a
socialist, who recently wished to force
Acting Mayor Britain to allow him
to call this meeting in Lafayette square
and being denied acted so obstreper-
ously in the city hall parlor that he
was elected. But today Graft was sup
pressed and was not much in evidence.
The result of the meeting was very
satisfactory and showed most COM
mendable spirit on the part Of those in
the movement, which crystallized into
permanent organization, taking as its
name 1.-THE Laboring Mems Protective
association" the nucleus of which is
the unemployed of the city of New Or
leans. The object in organizing at this
time was to put themselves into posi-
ton to go as body in conjunction
with a committee of the local branch
of the American Federation of Labor,
and demand of the board of drainage
commissioners that home labor be en-
ployed upon extensive works to be
shortly contracted for, instead of hir-
ing foreign labor at starvation wages.
They desire clause inserted in the
contract to that effect and further
more, that Giving wages" be paid.
They want to reap some of the benefits
of the work and have most powerful
and influential backing in the shape
of the Municipal Improvement associa-
| ton, composed as Is well known, of the
wealthiest and most progressive citi-
zens of New Orleans. There is every
reason for the belief that home labor
will be exclusively employed on the
drainage work.

BERTHA's BURGLAR.
She Caught Him in Her Room, Held
Him and Screamed.

She Caught Him in Her Room, Held
Him and Screamed.
Peter Duffy entered Bertha MacNa-
mara's room at S12 South East street
last night, and as he was taking his
departure he took with him a bundle
of clothes. Bertha grabbed him just
as he was leaving the room and held
him while she screamed. Captain
Brown and officer Joe Quintana were
soon on hand and took Peter in
charge. At the police station he told
Detective McCloskey that he came
here about four days ago, but could
no tell where he lived, as he said he
did not know one street from another.
1t seemed, however, that peter's inten-
tons were to commit a burglary, for
on searching him the officers extracted
a glass cutter, a bunch of keys and a
disguise in the shape of pair of spec
tacles from his pockets. Peter said
he had a partner, but he went out the
other door. A charge of burglary was
made against Duffy and NJ. was locked
up, while the bundle of clothes is in
possession of the police.

NICARAGUAN CANAL.

Cabinet Meeting Urges Earliest APP
pointment of the Commission.
Special Wire to Sunday Light.
Washington, D. c., July 17.-At the
cabinet meeting yesterday the Nicara-
guam canal commission was talked of
with a view to final selection Of mem
bers. 1t is said that the composition
of the body will be as reported hereto
fore, namely, Rear Admiral Walker,
Captain Carter, of the engineer corps
and Prof. Haupt, of Pennsylvania,
provided the last named will accept.
He has been telegraphed an inquiry on
that point. It is felt to be desirable,
for various important reasons to have
the commission appointed and begin
its work at the earliest possible mo-
ment. One OF these reasons is the
necessity for obtaining data as to the
condition Of the country through which
the canal is projected, during the rainy
season. Information collected hereto
fore, it Is said, has all related to the
San Juan river and Lake Nicaragua
during the season of good weather and
inquiry before congressional commit
tee developed lack of information as
to other conditions. This information
is very necessary in order to know
the character Of the demands required,
the amount of water that must be d.
verted or controlled and other impor-
tant engineering data affecting great
ly the cost Of the enterprise. If this
material is not to be obtained at first
hand it will be necessary for the COM
mission to proceed to Nicaragua i'm
meidately as the rainy season is now
well advanced and work must be COM
pleted by September else there will be
a delay until next summer.

the defeat of the day before.
Baltimore has not done so bad in the
west on this trip. OF ten games play
ed thus far they have won six.
1t is reported that Billy York has
same team Dick Phelan is with. He
will make big hit in that burg.
Frank Foreman is the weakest hitter

Lave Cross is not with the Phillies
on the trip. He is laid up with a

The fact that Billy Nash is minus
his mustache does not affect his third
base playing.
Duffy and Long are the best hitters
on the Boston team so far as averag-
es are concerned.
The Baltimores played as sloppy ball
in Louisville Thursday as they did
here earlier in the week.
The Bostons made their only run
against Chicago in the first inning.
The Chicagos won out in the tenth.

Negro Rapist Responsible For Two
More Lives.
Special Wire to Sunday Light.
Birmingham, Ala, July 17.-In fusi-
lade at West Point, when the negro
fiend, Anthony Williams, was shot and
killed by mob, three other persons
were shot. The father of Miss Rene
Williams, the outraged and murdered
girl, was one OF the men shot. Will
liam Purdue, her sweetheart, was an
other, and Jackson Dover, bystander,
bswa a third. 1t seems that the mob
was in circle about the negro when
an uncle of the murdered girl hit him
with a rock. At once pistols and
guns We're leveled at the negro and
the crowd broke off in semi-circle.
In their anger at the negro the men
mentioned were not quick enough in
getting away and received stray shots.
1t is thought that the girls father and
Mr.. Dover will die. Mr.. Purdue will
recover. The mob is now hot after a
negro preacher who harbored the fiend,
and securing the country for him. He
will share the same fate as the prin-
cipal if caught.

Startling Allegations in Suit Against
]. A. Robertson.
The National Hollow Brake Beam
company, of Chicago, H., is suing Jo-
seph A. Robertson in the Forty-fifth
District court for damages in the sum
of $4,000. Plaintiff represents that
on August 80, 1895, defendant falsely
and fraudulently represented to plain
tiff that he was then receiver of the
Monterey & Mexican Gulf railroad
company and was empowered to issue
receivers certificates in behalf of the
railroad and authorized to negotiate,
hypothecate and borrow money there
on,and that the certificates were worth
in the market their full face value.
Relying on these representations plain
tiff alleges, defendant drew on plaintiff
on August 80, 1895, two drafts or bills
of exchange, each for $4,000, and at
tached to the drafts four receivers
certificates for s., 900 each, and had the
drafts and certificates transmitted
from Monterey, Mexico, to Chicago,
where they were presented to plaintiff
for payment. Believing said receiv-
ers' certificates were genuine and val
id, plaintiff did pay to said Joseph A.
Robertson the sum of $4,000"
Plaintiff further ayers that defen-
dant was not the receiver at that time
and had no authority to issue such GER
tificates, that defendant we'll knew that
he was not the receiver, and that he
had no authority to issue the certifi-
Gates and that they had no market val
ue, and that plaintiff received nothing
for the money paid defendant.
The petition alleges that about one
year from the payment of the money,
plaintiff learned of the false and
fraudulent conduct of defendant, and
that the said certificates were wholly
invalid, illegal and worthless, and that
the defendant was not receiver for
said Monterey & Mexican Gulf railroad
company, at the time said certificates
were issued to plaintiff"

Mr.. David Mitchell, who lives near

serve as Juror. While here he gave an
accuont of a feat lately accomplished
by rattle snake. In Mr.. MitchelPs
yard were two puppies, eight or nine
days old, which were being raised by
hand and right good size for their age.
About 10 o'clock one night large rat
tie snake made its way into the yard
and killed both the puppies, and swal-
lowed one of them. The noise which
the snake made with his rattle, as he
a,,s,, e.,
his presence to become known. A hoe
was procured and Mr.. Mitchell killed
| the snake. The next day, an examin-
alton showed the large bait which the
snake had appropriated. There were

Judge Robertson was much elated
yesterday over a telephone message
| received from Hal Montgomery, who
represented Williamson county in the
| line survey at Bartlett, which is partly
located in Bell county, which was COM
pleted yesterday. The line runs

street, which was conceded by both
sides, but the recent survey shows
that after passing the business portion,
| the line crosses the street and takes
in part Of the resident portion into
Williamson county, which was hereto
fore considered part of Bell county
The survey also shows that the recent
local option cases came from William
son county as Judge Robertson con-
tended all the time. One of the cases
(Hutchins) was recently reversed on
the grounds that the offense was COM
mitted in Bell county. Montgomery
reports that Bell county is satisfied
with the survey just completed.
