The Blues added another scalp to
their belt Sunday afternoon, when
they defeated the fast Wormser team
of New Orleans, formerly the o'Hare
Carrigans, by score of to l. The
game was interesting throughout and
abounded with. snappy plays and ex-
citing situations.
The locals scored all their runs in
the fourth inning. Higgins, first up,
smashed a two-bagger to center. Wills
put up pop fly to center, which
Armour muffed. Harry Weber sent a
fly TO short left, and when three OF the
city players made an effort to get the

runner went safe. With all of the
bags populated, Leon Ford sent a
juicy single between first and second,

The Wormsers' run was scored in
the fifth inning by Baehr, who poked
out a single and stole second. The
next batter famed, but Wills dropped

to third on the play and Harry Weber,

Death Of Mrs. p. Alex. Poche.

Mrs. P. Alex. Poche, nee Stella
Louise Boudreaux, died at the Poche
home in Chetimaehes street at &c
O'Clock Sunday night, aged thirty
seven years and five months. Mrs.
Poche was taken suddenly i'll on Tues.
day of last week and the physicians
summoned TO her bedside pronounced
her to be suffering from an acute at
tack of Bright's disease. She rallied
somewhat and seemed to be doing very
well uatil Thursday forenoon, when
her condition changed for the worse.
Despite all that medical science could
suggest or the most careful and de
70 ed nursing accomplish, the sufferer
grew steadily weaker, until finally,
shortly before midnight Suud ay, she
relirq dished her slender hold upon
life aud closed her eyes in the eternal
sleep that knows no waking.
The funeral took place at 4 O'Clock
Monday afternoon, interment being
made IN the family tomb 10 the Catho
lie cemetery after impressive services
at the Ascension Catholic church.
Besides her husband, Mrs Poche is
survived by five children, Ward, Al
ton and Linden, boys, and Ola and
ley, girls, the eldest of whom is four
teen years of age and the youngest
two years. She also leaves two sis
tiers, Mrs. J. r. Duke and Mrs. Louis
Babin, OF this city, and half sister,
Mrs. jos. NJ. Heating, of New Orleans.
While the passing away of a young
wife and mother is at all times sad
and sorrowfui occurrence. the untime1y
demise of this es5imabIe woman is
rem 3ered doub1y pathetic in view Of
the fact that MIR. Poche is at present
constructing a handsome residence in
which he had expected shortly to take
up his home with his devoted wife and
interesting little family. The sincere
sympathy OF the entire community
goes out TO the heart broken husband
aud children in their sad bereavement.

Crop and Weather Notes.

The following paragraphs are quoted
from this weeks Ascension letter to
the Louisiana Planter:
'This is proving a very peculiar
season from a weather mans point OF
obsery alton, the average temperatures
Of the past few weeks being more ap-
propriate to fall and winter than to
balmy spring in this usually sunny
southern cline. Quite a heavy rain,
| accompanied by brisk winds and a
lively electrical disturbance of the at
mosphere, visited this section Monday
night, followed by clear and continued
cool weather. A prominent planter to
whom friend remarked upon the fine,
bracing character of the air after the
storm, somewhat impatiently ex-
claimed, tt may be all right for hu-
mans, but it's too cold for sugar cane. ,
Several planters and farmers from
the rural ward of Ascension were WIS.,
itors to DonaldsonVille on Wednesday
for the purpose of attending the regu-
lar monthly session Of the police jury,
at which much business was trans
acted. Among the number were Presi-
dent George B. Reuss of the first ward,
who reported crop conditions on the
Germania and Belle Helene planta-
tions quite as favorable as could be
expected in view of the unseasonably
cool weather.
cit is reported that some of Man
ager John W. fuckers envious con
temporaries are trying to poke fun al
him because Of the remark in last
weeks Ascension letter that he had
said the corn crop on New Hope is
the best he has had in twenty years,
the gtst of the joke being that it is en-
birely too early in the season to be
sizing up a corn crop. What Mr..
Tucker specifically and categorieally
stated was that the stand of corn on
New Hope was the best he had seen in
twenty years, but what's the difference,
after all? Doesn't every body know
who knows anything about it that
stand and crop mean virtually the
same thing with John Tucker? Give
him the stand and it's a ten to one
shot-or would be If the Locke law
permitted such shooting-tha he will
produce the crop all right. -
