KILLING AT VINTON,

Lake Charles. One of the most
brilliant assemblages ever held in
this city was present at the celebra-
ton given in honor of the birthday
Of General Robert Z. Lee, by the R.
z. Lee Chapter, United Daughters of
the Confederaoy. A splendid musical
program was rendered, and addresses
were delivered by Judge H. Wells
Mayor Fournet and Edgar Williams,
the boy orator Of Calcasieu.
Sam Guidry was killed at Vinton
by John Sterling. No details have
been received here. The killing was
done about 6 o'clock in the evening.
Hon. Aladdin Vincent has secured
the services Of experts to prospect for
oil On his place, near Vinton.
The recent wonderful oil develop
ment at Beaumont, Texas, has started
afresh oil talk in this parish. There
ar portions Of Calcasi Gu parish where
surface indications Of oil are plenti-
full. At Sulphur there is an ordinary
well which flows oil to such an ex-
tent that it has been estimated that
four barrels per day could be secured.
There is also spot in the city where
Oil exudes from the surface and runs
IN a small stream across the street. A
gentleman well versed in scientific
matters stated that near blackberry
the surface indications were promi-
nent in many places. Several pros
pecting companies are being organ
lied, and will sink test wells as soon
as the proper machinery can be OBJ
tanned.
The result of the visit of Mr.. F. F.
Axtell, Of the government board Of
engineers, who has been sent here by
Major Adams, the chief of the depart
ment, and who has made careful
and exhaustive examination of Cal
casieu river and passes, and the bars,
both inside and out, has been anx-
iously awaited by the citizens of
Lake Charles. On his return from
Cameron, Mr.. Axtell said he was not
prepared to say what he will recon-
mend till he works out his estimates,
but expresses surprise and gratifca-
ton at the commercial importance of
the river, which, he said, had never
been properly appreciated. His report
will show very large increase Of
both imports and exports in 1900 over
1885,
The biological station at Cameron
is now an assured fact. Prof. Morgan
and Major J. G. Lee returned after
brief sojourn at that place, and report
themselves as well pleased with the
outlook. All the buildings connected
with the institution will be built Of
extra strength and with special cars,
so as to withstand the fercest storm
that may visit that vicinity.

THIRTY-FIVE FIRE ALARMS.
Chicago Had n Record Breaking New
Year's-Firemen Clothed I'm Ice.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-In frozen clothing and
on a sheeting of ice Chicago's firemen
worked almost continuously yesterday.
The first day of the new century was a
record breaker in the way of fire alarms.
Up to midnight thirty-five had rung up.
On the first day of 1900 there were only
twenty alarms. The average is said to
be about twenty. Firemen were scarcely
given time to eat. In some cases a portion
of a detachment at fire would have to
quit and run for another fire. Oyerheated
stoves, the firemen said, caused many of
the fires. Thawing out of gas and water
pipes also contributed its share In a
majority of cases the fires were quickly
extinguished and the loss was slight Work
by the firemen was done under great diff
ficulty and with considerable suffering on
account of the extreme cold. Water
thrown against buildings froze and formed
banks of ice, on which the fire fighters
slipped and fell. In all, seven persons were
rescued from being burned to death by
the firemen-three at the West End Hotel
on West Madison street and four at a
boarding house on Van Buren, street The
total losses of all the fires for the day
amounts to $4,000.
