Of his injuries cannot be told yet.
Henry Horsely. of New Orleans, is

are employed on the bridge. which is
being repaired extensively.

CITY HAS NEW
 SWAMP LILY POOL
Seed Should be Sown Early Before
 Frogs Take Possession of Pool.

The Graphic has been kept busy for several months boosting the city's ar tificial lakes and ponds, and in our rush we have overlooked some of them but so many have complained about this one being neglected that we must call the attention of the city author ities to it's condition. This particul- al pond is on one of the prettiest and most public thoroughfares of the city, being located on Fifth avenue between Elm and Oak, and it's condition is such that immediate attention should be given it. A green scum has al- ready formed over the surface, and it no doubt contains germs enough at present to poison the entire popula- tion of the county.
