MRS. RUFFIN BARROW HURT.

Mr.. and Mrs. Ruffin Barrow and
two little children were among the
passengers on the Inflated excursion
train which was run into by freight
train, Monday morning. They were
seated in the next to the last coach
when the crash came. The two chill
dren escaped without scratch, but
Mr.. and Mrs. Barrow were both hurt.
Mr.. Barrow's injuries were caused by
the heavy jolt received which knock
ed him over several seats and were
not sufficient to lay him up, though
he walks with decided limp. Mrs.
Barrow was not so fortunate. The
left side of her body and limbs were
terribly lacerated, and she received
heavy blow on the back of her
head. She was taken on the relief
train to the Touro, where she still
is. While her injuries are very pain
full it is not known at this time il
any permanent bad results will fol-
low.
Mr. Barrow came up Thursday
night, but returned to New Orleans
yesterday afternoon.

Many houses have been repainted

better than they did before the re.

on Principal street, formerly used for
storage Of doors and windows by the
Lumber Co., has been moved farther
down the street, added to and con-
verted into a neat dwelling. Many
other improvements are directly due
to the Bayou Sara Lumber Co., not
to mention a number of new resi-.
dents. Houses on the river front

neither were on the train for the re-

their daughter, Miss Mary Ellis
Leake, to Mr. Theodore E. Tack, Jr.
of New York city. The wedding viii
be celebrated at the family home in
Louisiana Avenue, New Orleans, al
6 o'clock in the afternoon Of Wed
nesday, Jan. q, with only relatives
and intimate friends among the wed
ding guests. The announcement OF
the engagement attracts much fash
ionable attention as Miss Leake has
been an extremely popular and ad
mired member of the younger set in
society since her debut two years
ago, and the wedding will be conspic.
uous among the events of the later
social season. Mr.. Tack is promi-
nently connected in New York, where
his family have resided for a number
of years, going there from Pennsyl-
Vania. He met his prospective bride
two summers ago on a trip from New
York to Europe, when they were
both on their way to spend the sum-
mer in travel abroad.
