MAN, MULE AND WAGON
THROWN IN RIVER.

Virgil Afford, of Gretna, narrowly
escaped drowning shortly before
noon Monday when his mule pitched
headlong into the river from the
decks of the Canal street ferry A. H.
Halliday while the boat was tied up
to the pontoon at Morgan street, AL
giers. The mule was drowned, while
a part of the wagon and two iron eye
beams were lost in the river.
Before going down the pontoon to
the ferry one of the rear wheels of
the wagon was chained to prevent a
rapid descent. The chain broke and
the mule, frightened, dashed onto the
boat.
Mule, wagon and driver plunged
into the icy stream.
Isaac l.. Smith, negro deckhand,
threw a rope to Afford. Several pas
sengers assisted in the rescue. The
mule, wagon and eye beams disap-
peared beneath the surface. The an
imal was valued at 5000. The team
and it's load belonged to the Thorn
ton Grab and Derrick Company, of
McDonoghville.

ASSISTANT TO MIR. MCGUIRE.

Geo Fahey will be the future SUI
perintendent of Mississippi termin-
ais, with headquarters in New Or
leans. This post has been created
by Mr.. Hopkins, with a view of bet
ter handling the greatly increased
volume of business the lines are do
ing, locally and for export.
A large part of this work in the
past has been looked after by John
Mcclure, who has been with the
Southern Pacific nearly forty-six
years. During this long period Mr..
Mcclure has been constantly and
faithfully at his post of duty, and
he has seen and helped in the devel-
opment of the port facilities from
the time when the terminal of the
road, at one end, was New Orleans,
and, at the other end, Morgan City,
to the present time. when it has be-
come a link of one of the greatest
transcontinental roads of the coun-
try.
The principal idea of creating this
position is to take off of Mr.. Nc
Cures shoulders many of the bur-
dens of operation that he has been
called upon to meet in recent years.
1t is the intention of the manage
ment in the near future to allow him
the benefits of the rest that he has
earned through his long and continu-
Gus years of faithful service, and re-
lieve him altogether of the many re-
sponsibilities that go hand in hand
with his position.
