PUBLIC ROADS.

Aoe LAO COuLulbU60 VI GIl0
police jury composed of Hon. F. Seip,
president, and T. @. Wheaton and
Il. A. Swami, met here pursuant to
advertisement, to receive bids for
working the public roads in the low
land districts Of the parish. There
are large number Of bids, and they
will be opened and the contracts
awarded by the committee.
A thief entered the mercantile es-
tablishment Of Captain John A. Will
liams, in Front street, and stole from
his safe $65 in paper money, $50 in
silver, two gold watches valued at
5000 and about $40 worth of old coin.
The safe was in the front of the store,
and at the time the thief is supposed
to have been committed Captain Will
liams was busy in the rear waiting on
customer. The doors Of the safe
was closed, but the combination was
not on. It is evident that the thief
was afraid Of being detected and did
not continue his search for booty
long, for in the same drawer from
which the money and valuables were
taken were $56 in gold and a diamond
ring valued at 5000 which were left
undistarbed. There 10 no clew as to
the identity Of the thief.
CONVICTIONS IN MURDER CASES
Shreveport.-Joe Thomas, colored,
was tried by a jury in the district
court, Judge A. D. Land, and con-
victed Of murder. On October 10,
1899, he deliberately shot and killed
Cornelia Williams, at a railroad
camp, near Lane, above this city.
He fed to Texas and was captured
few months ago in Jack county. He
was given an opportunity to plead
guilty to manslaughter, but declined,
alleging that he killed the woman &C.
cidentally and should be acquitted.
Two reputable witnesses, white citi-
zens, were produced by the state after
the trial had begun, who testified that
they had seen Thomas shoot deliber-
atty; that after the woman had fallen
they pursued him and fired at him,
and that he had fred several shots at
them while he was escaping.
The jury in the trial Of John Luchi-
nj, indicted for the murder of George
W. Whitaker last June, after being
out for thirty. hours, returned YER
dict Of manslaughter. During all this
time the jury stood eleven for convic-
tion, one for acquittal, except on the
first ballot, when they stood two for
murder, three for acquittal, and the
others for manslaughtr. The attor.
neys for the defendant filed no bill of
exceptions, nor have they made mo-
ton for a new trial. John Luchin
was sentenced to serve five years in
the penitentiary. Roy Gilmore was
sentenced to serve life sentence for
the murder of his wife; Joseph
Thomas was sentenced to death.
When the sentence Of death was pro-
nounced on Thomas he showed no
fear. In fact, it is not thought he
realizes the seriousness of his posi-
ton. Should the sentence be carried
out, it will be the first legal hanging
in this parish in over ten years.

trio company digging trench Al tho
junction of Com mer cial street, and with
4 shout advanced on them ana drove the

perse the mob.
The police reserves were formed at on CO

street, aud upon orders advanced with
drawn clubs upon thelmob lmnediat ell y

CASE DISMISSED,
Undertaken Christy Could Not be
Held for ia lse Pretenses,

Undertaken Christy Gould Not be
Held Tor Fa lse Pretenses.
In Magistrate Hollis court last night
the case of William Lopez, colored,
against Eugene Christy, q colored under
taker, was heard. The charge which
Lopez brought against the undertaken
was false pretense. He alleged that he
gave Christy $50 early last week with
which to bury his son who died on Tues
day last. Thursday, the day get for the
funeral, the undertaken neither appeared
to bury the boy nor returned the money.
At the last hour the father was COM
PEELED to make box out OF pine wood
and bury his own child.
At the hearing last night Christy was
represented by Asst slant City Solicitor
Lynn. Several OF the plaintiffs witnesses
testified TO the facts as stated above.
Christy testified that be had made ar
rangements for the funeral and went to
Philadelphia after caeket on the day
set for the funeral and did not return.
The defendant produced receipts to
nearly the amount Of the $50 be received
from Lopez and said the money was ex.
pended in making the funeral arrange.
ments.
Magistrate Hollis said that as the re.
ceipts showed that the money was spent
on the funeral arrangements he could
not hold Christy on charge Of false pre-
tense and would have to dismiss the case
Tie magistrate however, severely rep
rimanded Christy for such an unbusi
nesslike and inhuman act.
Lopez will probably nov bring a civil
suit against Christy for damages.

tine, who is said to be a Spaniard, also
quit work yesterday. Palestine had been
working on the torpedoboat Stringham
for sometime. Yesterday he was ordered
to work on the steamer Denver, which
he refused to do. He packed up his
tools and is said to have left the city.
Many OF the strikers believe that every
one of the men who returned to the
Harlan L. Hcllingsworth CompaDy's
shops will be out again in few days.
The men who deserted the strikers and
returned to work have been practically
ostracised from many places. They are
already feeling the effects of their fool
ish action in various ways and there
is probably not one but regrets the step.
Business men and merchants refuse to
have any dealings with them. One of
the men was even refused drink in
saloon several days ago. to which in
the past he had been frequent visitor.
Another matter which is bothering these
men great deal is the fact that they
were paid by the union the time they
were out. The matter worried one of the
men to such an extent that he has re-
turned the money. That man was Dun

considerable money. Thatcher returned
all the money yesterday by a messenger.
He was given receipt for the same by

STRIKERS STOOD
FIRM AT READING
Only Thirteen Employees Of Car
Shops Returned to
Work,

Reading. June 26.--Ihe effect of the
clause in President George +. Baer's
letter of last Saturday 10 the strikers of
the Reading Railway Company and the
Reading Iron Company, stating that all
the men who had struck and did not re
turn TO work yesterday would be re
gartlrd as no longer in the employ of
the company. was awaited with interest
by both the management of the Reading
companies and the strike leaders. The
management of the heading companies
claimed on Monday that many of the
strikers would return to work. The
strike leaders were equally confident that
few, if amy, Of the men who struck
would 20 back.
4 review of the developments Of the
day shows that seven men who had left
the car shops on North Sixth street
last Friday and six Of the men who
quit at the Seventh and Chestnut streets
shops returned yesterday. II is said that
none If those were union men.
To offset the return of these thirteen
men Scventy-tive men who We're working
in the various shops of the Reading
Railway Company yesterday quit today.
to their ranks today was even more than
scvcnty-five. The strikers friends claim
that the letter issued by Chairman
Bechor, of the joint executive committee
of the Reading Railway employees, had
the effect of encouraging those who We're
reported weak and the leaders are con
tidpnt that the men who are out will not
return until their grievances have been
satisfactorily adjusted. They are well
pleased with the failure of the company
to stampede the men to the shops. Chair
man Brschor said last evening:
STRIKERS SHOW CONFIDENCE.
The strike is in good shape. There
are one hundred more men out in Read
ing today than Monday, all statements
or claims OF the company to the contrary
Notwithstanding. The test Of strength
made today shows the views of the men
on the strike and is their reply to the
ultimatum of Mr.. Bacr. Today there are
1850 men out in Reading That is the
number Of men who have been enrolled
! at our committee headquarters, and is
correct More have gone out at the shops
| out Of town, and there will in all prob
ability be further developments this
| week. Every effort has been made to
keep the men at work, but they have de-
cided to stand together. and the issue is
now up to the company. The strength
Of the movement has been underesti-
, mated by the company. and the public
is just approaching the importance of
the contest which is going on here The
men are remaining away from the COM
pany's property. They have been re-
questcd to get their information at the
committee rooms, instead of on the street
or about the shops
TO PAY OFF AND DISCHARGE.
The officials Of the company yesterday
afternoon said that there were 1855 EN-,
ployes, all over the system. who had
quit work.
President O'Connell. Of the Maclinsts
National Union, is expected here soon
and it is possible that Samuel Gompcrs
the president of the American Federation
Of Labor may come to confer with the
leaders Of the strike.
