l.. Livaudais, cotton broker of Meri-
dian, formerly of New Orleans commit
ted suicide at o'clock last Saturday
morning at the Cottage.by-the-Sea Ho-
tel. He held the revolver above his head
while reclining in his bed and sent the

brain. He fingered in the throes Of
death until about 80 O'Clock. The body
was embalmed by undertaken John Y.
Morgan and on Sunday evening con-
veyed to New Orleans by brother of

A most remarkable circumstance con-
nected with the prevailing of the hurri-
cane is the Indifference which seems to
overcome the natures of whole popu-
lace.
A mass meeting of citizens was held
at Boster's Hotel Wednesday night
to discuss and adopt plan for the re-
building of the front beach road. A
committee was appointed to inspect the
| damages done and raise the necessary
funds for carrying out the work in hand
The work of clearing away the debris
which the late storm has left scattered
along Pascagoula beach is progressing
but nothing definite can yet be said
about the repairs of damages done tc
private property. Capt Chas. Boster
the heaviest looser will not rebuild hi:
wharf, bath houses and cottages before
next Spring. Others may do SO at once
Mayor Volney Brown says that the
damage to his property is not as great as
anticipated, and that he is now at work
repairing it. Sois Capt. Geo. Gibbon
whose front yard was badly washed
From the bridge which was carried
away the beach has been improved
rather than damaged. A broad, gently
sloping strip of sand, packed as hard a.
a cement floor has been deposit
ed there by the action of the waves, ant
the beautiful beach drive supposed t.
have been completely ruined can be re
stored with comparatively little eX
pense. Heretofore the owners OF lot
fronting on the beach have each follow
ed his or her own sweet will and indi
vidual Judgment in building break
waters regardless of the interest of thei
neighbors, hereafter concerted actor
will be taken by the municipality ant
whatever breakwaters are made will b,
built on uniform plan.
The chivalry and kindness of Captain
| w. L. Pinder toward the ladies wht
were placed in his care by the will o
the Almighty Father during the terrible
gale last week cannot pass withou
special mention. During the three day
when the vessel lay at the mercy of th'
roaring waves, and seasickness prostrat
ed every visitor, he nursed and cared TO
Them with the tenderness of a father
and while the experience will never b.
forgotten, the Captains delicate atten
tentions will ever be held in kind re
memberance by the party who wen
aboard the staunch bark Mable for din
ner and were held four days by the fur,
of old Neptune.
Owing to an unforeseen miscalculatiol
the sale of the property owned by Mr.
L. d. Herricll at East End was not mad
to Mrs. Ida NJ. Converse as published re
Gently.
