THE WAR

The situation of the two big armies
in France has changed materially in
the last week. The allied armies
managed to check the Germans before
Paris and heavily reinforced they
drove the Kaiser's army about seventy
miles back toward their own frontier.
1t appears that the German right wing
advanced too rapidly for the balance
of the army and the allies by a flank
ing movement very nearly brought dis
aster to the Germans. The German
retreat was well carried out, although
the allies succeeded in infiicting severe
losses on the enemy. The situation
in which the right flank found itself
compelled the remainder Of the Ger
man army to follow the same tactics
and there was a general movement
toward the frontier all along the line.
The result was a victory for the allies,
although it was not a decisive n and
was only in the same easur that the
Germans had early in the war been
victorious.
The great German army found new
and safer positions OF Tuesday and
stopped their backward movement.
They have thrown up Entertainments
in their new positions and are prepar'
ed to give the allies a tremendous bat
tie. Both armies have been heavily re-
inforced, especially the allies, and an
other titanic struggle is looked for in
the next few days. The backward
from the direction of Paris
has enabled the French to withdraw
their defensive army from that city
and send it to the front. England is
constantly sending fresh troops to the
and there have been IN
Gus rumors that the Russians were
troops in France to aid the
allies.
However, it would seem as though
the czar would need all of his men in
the eastern wal district. His army
has decisively defeated the Austrians,
but the Germans seem to have been
in East Prussia. The de-
feat of the Austrians is reported to
have been overwhelming and it is
claimed that they will not hereafter be
a serious menace to the Russians. 1t
is claimed that the Austrians lost 3OO,-
600 men and two-thirds of their artil-
lery in this campaign.
This mornings dailies state that
Italy will in all probability drop its
neutral attitudes and come to the aid
of the allies. Roumania is also said
to be in readiness to line up with
Servia. Turkey is still maintaining a
neutral attitude.
There has been no decisive naval
fight, although the English fleet seems
to have control of the North sea and
adjacent waters.
Americas attitude is still strictly
neutral and there is every reason to
believe that it will continue to remain
so.

An UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR.

The following account of the very I'M
fortunate affair that occurred at Water
proof on Tuesday morning is taken from
the Natchez Democrat OF Wednesday:
In order to protect his life from the at
tack Of an infuriated negress armed with
a razor, Mr. Randall Hunter, of Water
proof, La, yesterday was obliged to draw
his revolver and shoot with deadly effect.
Monday night Mr.. and Mrs. Hunter,
who are prominent i'm social circles at
Waterproof, held an extensive reception,
at which great number of friends were
present.
The evening was pleasant one for all
who attended, and it was declared to be
one of the most enjoyable events of the
season.
Yesterday morning when Lizzie Brown,
the colored cook. put in her appearance.
Mrs. Hunter, called her attention to the
dishes from the previous nights enter
tainment, and reonested her to clean
them up when she found time. .
The woman refused, stating that she
would not wash the dishes or have any
thing to do with them.
Mrs. Hunter insisted. whereupon the
cook, picking NIB number of the plates.
threw'them. down into tray, breaking
several handsome pieces.
Mrs. Hunter informed the cook that
che would he obliged to pay for the chins
which che had broken, whereupon the
cook became boistrous, and cursed Mrs
Hunter, nsIg vile language.
Mrs. Hunter decided she would rims
up her husband, whereupon the woman
assumed bellieerent air, declaring sh'
was not afraid Of ''no white man, and j
he bothers me TIL send his soul to h.
Delivering herself of this speech TIN
cook left the house, and Mrs. Hunte
succeeded in reaching her husband b.
phone, explaining all that had transpired
Mr.. Hunter at once proceeded to tn,
house of the Brown woman and demand
ed an explanation.
The woman, who weighs about tw,
hundred pounds, again became exceed
ingly usly, and Mr.. Hunter struck he
with stick.
No sooner was the blow delivered thar
the woman rushed forward with an opel
razor, slashing Mr.. Hunter across tn,
head and left cheek.
Seeing that his life was in danger, an,
feeling that he was desperately wounded
Mr.. Hunter drew his revolver and fired
] He then staggered to nearby house
where he fell, practically exhausted from
loss Of blood, and was given prompt med
ical attention. The attending physician
pronounced the wounds serious, but no
necessarily dangerous.
The feeling in Waterproof was intense
and the authorities, fearing possible mol
violence, removed the Brown woman t,
st. Joseph, La, where she died from tn
effect of the pistol shot yesterday after
noon at four o'clock.

A most beautiful wedding was
celebrated at the Union Church in
st. Joseph on Thursday evening,
the Rev. Geo. Fox. pastor of the
NJ. f. Church, Waterproof. La.
officiating. when Mr.. R.. f. Fulton
and Miss Frances Rowan were unit
ed in holy wedlock.
The church had been beautifully
decorated by loving hands and pre-
sented fairy-like appearance, the
color scheme being white and green /;
the altar, lighted by many candles,
was banked with potted plants, and
rose in benediction above the heads
of the devoted couple.
Promptly at the appointed hour,
to the inspiring strains of Mendels-
shon's wedding march, beautifully
rendered by Mrs. F. l.. Guthrie. the
couple entered the sacred edifice,
preceded by the bridesmaid, Miss
Mabel Rowan, sister to the bride,
carrying a beautiful shower bouquet,
who was met at the altar by the
best man, DR.. y. s. Trice, ap-
preaching from the left-hand aisle.
Standing before the sacred altar
the couple with their attendants
formed a. lovely group, when the
minister, in solemn and impressive
tones, read the beautiful service of
the Methodist Church, which bound
together two lives and made two
hearts as one, the responses, clear
and distinct, being audible to the
entire congregation.
The bride is the daughter of Mr..
'Chas. H. Rowan, of this parish, and
is young lady of many beautiful
traits of character, happily combin-
ing the more practical arts of do
mesticity with the more accom-
plished virtues, and is indeed a
jewel of whom her spouse can we'll
be proud.
The groom, Mr.. Fulton, is a
young man of sterling qualities, an
excellent business man, strong OF
character and clear of judgment,
and enjoys the highest confidence
and respect of our entire people.
He is the youngest son of the late
Mr.. w. G.. Fulton and has ever
been a devoted and faithful son and
brother. He carries into his new
life the heartiest congratulations OF
hosts of friends.
The popularity of Mr.. and Mrs.
Fulton, and the high esteem with
which they are held in our parish,
was beautifully attested by the
many handsome and costly presents
and the showers of good wishes Of
which they were recipients.
They will make their home al
Helena" plantation, in this par
ish, and where they will be at home
to their many friends.
