MAY JUSTIFY KOPPEL.

Members of the Brotherhood Of Rail-
road Firemen and Engineers are grid
ing their loins for a hard russell with
the officials of various railroads when
the Raker act requiring the roads to
use electric headlights on their loco
motives comes up for hearing before
the House Committee on Interstate
and Foreign Commerce. This measure
is almost a duplicate of that which
Representative G. H. Koppel endeavor-
ed to pass in the last session of the
Legislature, where it was assailed bit
terly by the roads and finally crushed
in committee.
The kOppel bill attracted some at
.tentiOn at the time of its introduction,
and, had it passed, it seemed reasona-
bly, to believe that similar measures
might have been introduced and pass
led, it seemed reasonable to believe that
similar measures might have been in
troduCed and passed in other States.
It's untimely death, however, has not
daunted its advocate, and now that
Congressman John E. Raker of the
Second California District has come
forward with a measure drafted on
lines similar to that of the Algiers Re-
preventative, the brotherhood members
are said to have revived their hopes
of securing its enactment.
A minimum candlepower of 1900 is
required in the Raker measure, and
roads failing to comply with it's pro-
visions six months after its passage
will be subject to a fine of from s10O
to $1,000.

FRENCH STEAMSHIP BRINGS
TWENTY.SIx IMMIGRANTS.

The French steamship Louisiana ar
rived at the immigration station at 5
o'clock Thursday morning, and dis
charged twenty-six passengers for ex-
animation before being admitted into
this country. The immigrants were
the first to be received on the new
wharf recently completed by the Unit
ed States government at a considerable
cost.
OF the twenty-six, the majority were
Spaniards and French citizens, al
though there were several Syrians.
The largest part of the French and
Spanish immigrants declared their in
tention of remaining in New Orleans,
having been sent for by relatives or
friends. The Syrians and one or two
of the Spaniards were bound for Cali
fornia.
Only two of the crowd were held.
These were a French girl, aged twenty
one years, and boy twenty years, who
claimed to be her cousin. They were
coming to relatives in New Orleans,
they said, but the relatives failed to
meet them. A search is to be made by

LOCAL LABOR LEADERS INTER.
cEDE FOR sWITcHMEN.

Mayor Behrman was visited Monday
by number of men prominent in la
Dor organizations, accompanied by two
of the switchmen discharged from the
Public Belt. They asked the Mayor
to intercede to have the organization
recognized and the men put back to
work.
The Mayor told them that there was
evidently misunderstanding Of the
matter, and that he could do nothing
to assist them.
Ben Commons, one of the party,
then asked the Mayor to make an ap-
pointment so that they could meet Mr..
Thompson. The Mayor said he would
ask Mr.. Thompson to appoint a con-
ference, provided it is not with the
switchmen, but with the labor repre-
sentatives.
Later in the day the party returned
and had a long conference with the
Mayor and Mr.. Thompson.
Mr.. Thompson stated later that he
had nothing to say regarding the con.
ference; that the men had presented
their case, and he had made his ex-
PLANTATION, and there was nothing more
to say.
In the party were Ben Commons,
Edward Freiche, John Breen, Henry
Keegan, and others.

TELEGRAPH OFFICE TO BE TRANS.
FERRED.

Transferring the business of the
Western Union Telegraph Co. from its
present location to Rupp's Drug Store
has been brought about by the fact that
the receipts and expenditures show
conclusively that the Office is either
not being patronized by our people or
the location is such as to work against
the success of the Office. The officials
of the Western Union Co. came to AL
giers Tuesday in an effort to see what
could be done to improve conditions
and the first change to be made is the
removal of the Office from its present
location in the Cumberland Telephone
Building to Rupp's Drug Store, which
is more centrally located. The trans
fer will be made about July 1st.
Arrangements have been made
whereby kilograms may be filed for
transmission either to be paid or pre-
paid and prompt delivery will be made
of incoming messages as heretofore.
During the operation of the office since
its establishment here in November
last it has shown a loss of 1896.

FRoLIcKER PROPERTY SOLD.

The Frolicker property, corner Nor
gan and Seguin streets, has finally
been sold to the Johnson Iron Works
and this now completes more than one
half square of ground upon which will
be constructed one of the largest ma
chine and marine shops in the city.
The ground was purchased by Mrs.
Johnson, and the Johnson Iron Works
purchased the building. The amount
paid for all was the small sum of S.
600. OF course, Mr.. Frolicker almost
gave the property away to help along
a big enterprise.
1t will be remembered by our citi-
zens how Dominick Frolicker brought
suit against the Southern Marine
Works on account Of noise which was
being made next to his saddle shop.
The suit was fought by the Southern
Marine Works and was lost. Frlock-
er was given a Judgment and the judg-
ment was per etuated against the
plant preventing any operation and
causing one of our best industries to
pull up stakes and get out Of town.
Mr.. Weinberger, who was at the
head Of the concern at that time, stat
ed that had Mr.. Frolicker not inter-
fered by suit, their concern also would
have been in Algiers to-day and would
have employed hundreds of men, but
they were not able to withstand the
perpetual Injunction which Mr.. Fro
Ticker had received from the courts.
About the time that the Injunction was
secured and the damages granted the
Southern Marine Works liquidated its
affairs and whether or not Mr.. Fro
ticker received any actual cash for
damages, is not known at present.
The Johnson Iron Works should con-
graduate themselves on being able to
buy this piece of property for the small
sum Of $4,000.

ANTHONY SANTOS DROWNED.

Anthony Santos, ship carpenter,
while engaged in repair work Friday
afternoon on the paddle wheel of the
river boat Pittsburg, anchored at the
head of Pelican avenue, lost his footing
on the staging and fell into the river.
His fellow-workmen saw the accident,
but could do nothing for the struggling
man. He was soon overcome by the
force of the current and his body dis
appeared from sight.
Preparations were at once begun to
drag for the body and Sunday morning
it was found at the head of Delaronde
street by Almond Suzette of 435 Val
lette street and Jno. Stewart (colored)
of S22 River street.
1t is thought that Santos hit a pro.
Jecting beam as he fell and injured
himself, as he was an excellent swim
mer and could have easily breasted the
current had he his full strength.
Santos was So years old and lived al
