OLD SPANISH FORT BURNED.
Famous Resort on Lake Ponchar.

train Had Historic Associations.
New Orleans Times Democrat.-
The Spanish fort. on Lake Pontchar-
train, betwe IN West End and Milne
burg is no more Fire Saturday night
destroyed the casino and the building
which for the last century had with
stood the assaults of the lake winds
and which marked the spot where
General Jackson landed when he has
tened from Tennessee in 1914 to take
command of the army which was to
defend the city against the English.
During the civil war the fort was gar
risonsd with several companies, can
non were put in place and military
precautions taken to make it a grea,
defensive barracks, but it was never
us I'd. Many of the cannon are still to
be seen on the grounds, half sunk in
the earth and rusting in the shadow
of the trees
Fffteen'y years ago Spanish fort was
a select summer resort. Here the old
families of New Orleans especially
iONtu 10 20. Inc rise Ol west Emu,
however, with its new attractions and
new clientele, deprived it of it's pris
tine splendor and gradually the old
fort sank from public notice into OBJ
as one of the old landmarks and In
terest attaches to it only by reason
of its historical associations
Until last week, before the fire,
few went there except for a good
gumbo or a crawfish bisque. Fewer
still went there to study It's history
for other resorts held forth more en-
ticing recreations than did the old
pile. Saturday a spark from a pass
ing launch in Bayou ST. John ignited
one of the old ramble shackle build
ings. Tha fire was quickly communi-
Gated to the remaining structures
and lastly to the casino, which went
like a heap of straw.
It was here also that one of the
experiments with a torpedo boat was
made. The attempt was not a success
and the boat went to the bottom. 1t
was fished up some years ago out of
Bayou St John.

A SOCIAL EVENT.

SOCIAL EVENT.
 One of the prettiest social events of the season occurred at the home of MT and Mrs William Wilson on Tues day evening of last week, when nearly a hundred of Greenfeld's younger so- cial set assembled to celebrate the 18th birthday anniversary of their daugh- ter, Miss Leora Wilson, one of the popular young ladies of the Country club. A birthday feast, such as de- lights the inner man, was served, the table and the dining room being hand somely decorated with flowers. A huge birthday cake, surrounded by lighted wax tapers, graced the center of the breakfast table, making bril- liant effect. Perry's orchestra dis coursed lively music throughout the evening and the young people enjoyed dancing until late hour The gifts were numerous and unusually attract i've, showing the high esteem felt for Miss Wilson.
 Funeral services were held, Thurs day afternoon, over the remains of Eliza B. Wheeler at her late home in Greenfield, Rev W. H. Cane, pastor of the Congregational church officiating. The interment took place in the old cemetery on Greenfield Hill.
 MT and Mrs Frank L. Sherwood en- tertained party of friends and neigh bors at their pleasant home, last Fri day evening. It was happy mingling of both old and young, and all were out to enjoy themselves to the utter most. They were not to be disappoint- ed as MT and Mrs Sherwood are noted for their hospitality, fond of enter taining their friends in royal fashion and equally anxious that every one shall have jolly good time. Plenty of music was on hand, and of course dancing was the diversion of the even- ing. After bountiful supper the young people resumed dancing, the company remaining long after the midnight hour. It was very enjoy able occasion for all and everybody left in good humor, hoping that MT Sherwood will repeat the invitation at an early date.
