The following appeared ID the

Some weeks ago, in d speech at

L. Ponder, attorney for the game
commission, charged that the alleged
attacks On the state administration
By Judge Thomas Fl. Lewis were IN
spired BY former Governor n. G.
Blanchard Of this city, after . con-
ference between Governor Blanchard,
Judge G. Y. Porter Of Natchitoches
and others.

untrue, and If has been intimated IL
New Orleans, 0pelousaa and other pa
pers, that 3 statement by Governor
Blanchard would not be anaiss under
the circumstances. The former Gov
ernor returned only a few days ago
from his trip to Europe, and when
asked by a Journal representative
yesterday for q formal statement RS
piled:
Just say for me that any state
ment regarding conference between
Judge Porter, Judge Lewis and N.Y.

Is absolutely and unuuali-
fiedly false. Il Mr. Ponder made the
statements credited TO him It is with
ont the slightest foundation IN fact.
To many friends Of Judge Lewis in
this city and section, the very idea
that he needed to be inspired by
Is so utterly ridiculous that
they have never been able TO believe
that Sir. Ponder used the language
to him By the 0pelousas
correspondents. However, the fact
that Judge Lewis has replied. de-
nouncing the statement as untrue
and demanding Mr. ponder's authori-
y, which demand is unanswered,
leads to the conviction that some
such blunder was made.

forty minutes.
The cause is the going ont Of busi-

CURED last Monday, early in the
morning.
The explanation is that at III o'clock
every night one Of the twin boilers is
closed down, on account of there be-
ing no use for it because of the fall
ing of Of lights. Sunday night the
usual course was pursued. Monday
morning the day engineer, Pierre II

ne looked into the water guage, and
the glass showed water. he lighted
the fire, and it was not long before
the boiler expanded and the tubes
bursted. An examination showed
that the water guage was clogged.
and that notwithstanding that i'll
showed water, there was none III the
