Metropolis Is Deserted

The casual and unsophisticated visitor, strolling down Broadway. tha street of streets, would probably per celve no dimunition in the number of pedestrians since last winter, and a casual inspection of other portions os the city would not reveal evidences Of any alarming decrease in the non- ulation of the metropolis.

 Other Negroes Rushed to
His Assistance.

nlS ASSlStHuCe.
 New York, July 6.-Policeman Edward Conrad was probably in- jured in a race riot which occurred in upper New York last night. Alt tempts were made to kill another policeman and scores of negroes were severely clubbed and five ar- rests were made bfore the trouble was brought to an end
 The trouble started when Police man Conrad seized a negro who was attempting to discharge a pistol upon the street. Imediately hundreds of negroes ran to the aid of the ne- gro and seized the policeman, slash ed him with razors and kicked and beat him. The white residents came to Conrad's- aid and in a few minutes a goodly rowAas on. Re- serves from two prcfncts had to be called to. quell the srioting

Brooklyn Bridge in Danger.

Some day in the near future the great cables of the Brooklyn bridge, once the wonder of the engineering world, may give way and allow the mighty structure to collapse in th3 river. Such is the warning note sounded by many scientists who have recently investigated the subject. Ac- cording to the chemists, electrolysis is responsible for the corroding of the steel and the weakening of the sup ports of the great passageway across the East river, which may cause a catastrophe that will startle tn" world.
 Leaking 'juice' from the trolley wires in Brooklyn, from the great distributing plant on Pearl street, from the third rails that gird the bridge and from the supply current of the elevated and surface lines is re- sponsible for the trouble. Since the completion of the great Williamsburg teidge the wayward currents have

Upon the Parish Clerk is de
pendent to great extent the
good conduct OF the affairs OF
the commonwealth. 1t is i'm
portant to the property owners
that the record OF their prop
ertv affairs be properly kept. 1t
is important that the records OF
disputes in the cour;s be abso-
lutely correct. For these rea-
sons it is-Impcrtant that the man
for the place of Parish Clerk be
one whose ability and honesty
is unquestioned.
Such a man is Mr.. A. A.
Girard of LoreauviIle, who for
the first time in his long and
useful life comes before the pub
lie as an aspirant for public Of
Gce. Heretofore he has been
content to confne his Iabors to
his own business affairs but his
many friends, observing his pc
culiar fitness for the Office of
Parish Clerk, have induced him
to permit his name to be placed
before the public for this lmpor-
tant Office. They know that if
elected he will conduct the at
fairs of the office as honestly and
as faithfully as if they were his
own. They know that in such
a position he would place his
own convenience last and make
that of the public the very first
consideration. And for that
reason they want him where the
Parish will be served as it should
be.

According to most OF the
planters who were in the City
today the damage TO the cane
will not be so serious as ex-
pected. In very few places
was the bud killed and now the
seed cane is being hastily put
away SO that it may not run any
more risks.
While in some places the bud
was killed yet in the ma 1orlty OF
the instances this was not af-
tected.
Cotton plants however were
reported to be all killed SO that
there will not be any mere bolls
formed. The cold, however,
has opened the formed bolls
and when these are picked that
will be all of the crop this year.
