On Thursday evening at 5 80
O'Clock the home Of Mr.. Albert II.
Trotter situated on Duperier
| Avenue was totally destroyed by
fire. From what we have been
able to learn the fire was caused
by a defective fue and before
help could arrive to checkmate
the flames, the home was totally
destroyed. Fortunately for Mr..
Trotter a great portion of his fur
niture was save from the ruins
though it was badly damaged dur
ing the excitement. He carried
some insurance on the building,
but not one cent on it's contents.
On Monday last the Local
Exemption Board forwarded to
Lafayette for final examination
some fifty white citizens of this
Parish and some sixty negroes.
These conscripts were examined
by the Appeal Board and those
that were not rejected for physi-
cal defirmities will continue to
await orders to report at the can
tonments. 1t has not yet been
fully decided just what date the
call will be made, prevailing opin-
ion being however that it will be
some sixty days yet.
