William r.. Cochran.

Another of our old citizens has
gone to his long rest; another of the
struggling remnants of those mag
nifcent armies which for four long
years held at bay the overwhelm-
ing hosts that the Federal Govern
ment had gathered from almost
every corner Of the civilized world
has answered the last roll l-call; and
again are we called upon to mourn
the demise of a gallant soldier and
good citizen.
But, much as these terms mean,
William Ross Cochran was even
more than that to MS. He was a
friend and companion Of our boy
hood, and during the two last years
of the war he was our companion
in arms-our messmate-and by
his cheerful, sunny disposition did
much to tighten and sweeten the
burden of those stirring days. He

then operating about Berwick's
Bay, in January, 1868, on the very
day before she was destroyed in an
engagement at Cornay's bridge,
Bayou Teche, in which twenty-five
of the sixty.three members of the
company that were on board were
killed and wounded under the fire
| of three Federal gunboats, 1000 in
Ifantry aud nineteen pieces of light
ARTILLERY, and the survivors later
participated in the engagements at
Butte d la Rose, Fort De Russy and
ION the gunboat Mary T., on Red
River. Subsequently, the command
saw service as scouts and in out
lpost duty IN Lafonrche parish and
lon Bayou Portage, and also on Lake
fDautrive and Bayou Boutte, in st.

lskirmishes took place, occasionally

The Man Replying No, the

He Thea Robbed the Passengers, Shot
Woman in Arm, and was Cap
tured After a Hard
Struggle.
(By the Associated Press.)

Louisiana, Mo-, August 5.-While a
Chicago ard Alton excursion train
from Bloomington, Ills, to Kansas
City was crossing the Mississippi river
here to-day a man on board shot and
killed Marion Warner, of Secor, Ills,
shot and wounded a woman, and rob-
bed a third passenger. After a hard
fight the man was arrested and placed
in Jail here He refused to give his
name.
Warner was asleep when the man
came through the train asking people
if they were armed. He awOke War
ner and asked if he had revolver.
Receiving a negative reply, it is said,
he Immediately shot Warner dead.
The passengers were panic-stricken
and when the hold-up demanded of a
passenger, whose name has not been
learned, that he empty his satchel,
emphasizing his order with a flourish
of his revolver, the passenger hastily
poured out the contents of his
satchel and the hold-up took possess
sion. The robber then fired at ran
dom and one woman was shot through
the arm.
A boiler maker from Jacksonville,
Ills, attempted to arrest the man, but
was knocked senselcss. Other pas
sengers rallied from their fright and
the man was oVer-poWered.
Claims were made by several that
the hold-up man was drunk and had
boasted openly that he would kill

tanning control of the meat packing
industry. 1t remains to be estab-
lished whether the aid extended the
packing combine was intentional.
The bureau of Animal Industry
claims there is a shortage of inspec-
tors of meat products, owing 10 the
lack of funds with which to pay them
The result has been that the bureau
has not been able to send inspectors
to all the packing establishments
that desired them. Complaints nave
been made by Independent concerns
that they have not been able to put
their products on the mraket for the
reason that they could not get IN
spectors, while inspectors were sta
toned at lal the big establishments
controlled by the Blk Six. The charge
is made that DR.. Salmon, head of the
bureau, Intentionally kept his lnspec-
tors at the big plants, and refused
them to the smaller concerns, for the
reason that he wanted to help along
the big fellows
There is no question that the eHecI
of not sending inspectors to the sfnali
concerns has helped the trust. Wheth-
er it was possible to supply the de-
mand remains to be shown. 1t also
remains to be discovered whether the
bureau officials gave aid ana com
fort to the trust Intentionally. Inns
fact would be pretty well establlsh-
ed if it should be shown that there
were inspectors to be had at the time
they were refused applicants.
1his is not the first of the charges
that have been made against the Du-
reau. Some months ago an inspector
made charges against DR.. Salmon, out
he did not sustain them on investlga-
ton. If 1t shall be established. after
a thorough investigation, that the De-
partment of Agriculture has been
aiding the beef trust to gain control
of the meat industry of the country,

THE ESUNDO MOVE"
Negro BrickIayers Strike
Because of White Man.
At Chapel Hill Twelve of Ebon Hue
Lay Down TrOWels and FOrsake
Mortar Because White Man is
Set to Work With Them.

Chapel Hill, accordingtO the news
received from that place, has given a
new turn to drawing the color line, "
for there negro laborers kicked and
quit work because a white laborer was
at work on the same job, though all
were union workers.
In erecting Il building twelve negro
bricklayers, members of the brick
layers union, cOlored were at work,
but it was found necessary to get an
additional man. The only one then
available was a white man and forth
with the contractor employed him.
But when he appeared for work
trouble came on as quickly as an April
shower The negroes consulted, and
then quit work, declaring they would
not work with the white man. They
were on a strike on the color line, as
they wanted it all black without a
stripe of the white, all lean and no fat.
Here was d unique situation and as
the work had to go on and the larger
force was necessary, the negro union
bricklayers had their way. In reason
twelve workmen, though Stygian their
hue, could do more work than
the Caucasion solitaire, SO the one
had to quit and the twelve picked up
their troWelS and slashed mortar once
again between the bricks as the build
ing began again to climb higher to-
wards it's completion.
You never can tell some one has
said, and this is a case of it. BY law
the white man can't sit in the Jim
Crow coach and so the ebOny-hued
at Chapel Hill applied this to the
handling of bricks and drew the new
color line, or at least if not a new
color line then "A color line drawn bV
a new hand at the game. "Tempora
mutanter," or words to that effect,
are respectfully called to the atten-
tinn of the stlIdent of mndern hiStOrN.
