1t its announcement column this week
The Echo presents the name of Mr.. AL
eide Moran, of Bay st. Louis, as can
didate for the office of assessor for Han
cock county. His friends over the coun-
ty have long been urging him to make
the race, and he has at last yielded to the
pressure. Hancock has no better citi-
zen-honest, industrious and peaceful
he has surrounded himself with quite a
number of stanch friends since his res
idence in this citv, extending over a Pc
riod OF about eight years, and he is pop
ularly known and esteemed from that
part of the county in the Centre neigh
borhood where he was born and reared.
He is son of Lucien Moran, who re-
sides at the old homestead, and his fam
lily relations are not only extensive but
OF the very best. Should the voters of
Hancock see it to their interest to elect
Mr., Moran, we have no hesitancy in say
ing he will come up fully to their ex-
pectation and they will have no cause
to regret it, At present Mr.. Moran is in
the employ of the delivery department
OF the Bays Mercantile Company.
Eugene F. Ansley, aged 10 years, and
son of Mrs. M. NJ. Ansley, while at the
l., & N. depot Sunday morning with the
crowds OF people awaiting the arrival of
the mail and excursion trains from New
J Orleans, in the most unexpected manner
dropped dead. The widest kind of ex-
citement prevailed where SO many peo-
pie on pleasure bent had cungregated
and at so startling an occurrance. DR..
w. b. Rohmer was the first physician to
reach the scene and pronounced the bow
dead; that the end had been instanta-
neous and painless and was directly due
to heart failure. Mrs. Ansley had been
notified in the meantime and her arrival
presented most pathetic scene. Heart
failure is apparently hereditary in the
family. Mrs Ansley's mother and a
sister died ina like manner. Eugene F.
Ansley was the youngest child OF Mr..
and Mrs. l.. M.Ansley, Mr.. Ansley was
the road master of the local division of
the L. & N. road for number of years
up to the time of his death some twelve
years ago. The interment took place
Monday and was largely attended, the
teachers and pupils Of the public school
attending in body.
Hilary Brown, colored, was arrested
by Marshal Albert ]. Carver Sunday
while at the residence of Martha Mitch
ell on Goodchildren street where he was
making his home, but for reasons best
known to himself he win take up his
abode indefinitely at the county jail. The
arrest was made at the instance of Tho
mas Colsen and Jack Strong. It Is
charged by Colson and Strong that
Brown stole from them seine net ten
days prior to Sunday while it hung over
the guard rail of the Bay st. Louis Ho-
tel bath house wharf, and it is further
charged Brown dyed the net and cut the
corks to conceal its identity. The net
was seen at Cospolich's shipyard where
Brown, who has lately engaged in the
pursuit of fishing, had carried 1t. The
information Of the net being there was
conveyed to the owners by one of the
hands at the yard. Immediately, ac-
companied by the officer, Colson and
Strong visited the locality where their
missing property was reported, and at
once recognized it as theirs. Upon the
return of the trlo to this city the arrest
followed. The prisoner was arraigned
before Justice of the Peace John A.
Breath Tuesday morning. He plead
guilty, and was required by the court to
furnish bond for $500 for his appear
ance at the next Circuit court; and fail
ing to give security he was committed to
the county Jail.
