There are several ap plicants to be initiated in the J. W. and M. W. degrees. There; was no ice in town yesterday, but Mr. Cook received another car-load last night and is supplying his customers with thle cooling material again to-day. John Franklin, who has been in jail dur ing the past two months for committing an aggravated assault and battery on his wife, furnished bond to-day and was released. The steamer Natchez, surnamed the " Big Injun," landed at the Donaldsonville wharf on her first down trip of the season, Thurs day afternoon, looking as bright as fresh paint can make her. Mr. Allen F. Mayor, bill clerk on the Whisper, came ashore at Donaldsonville last Saturday, suffering from a stiff neck caused by catching cold. Two or three days sojourn at home straightened, him out all right again, and he only missed one trip-of the boat. Again we feel the need of rain. The weather has been dry as a bone for two weeks and the streets and roads are very .dusty. Rice planters have had a magnifi cient season for harvesting their crop, but their gain in this respect has been the sugar planter's loss.. Mr. R. M. McCulloh, Deputy Clerk and Recorder for this parish, made a business trip to the city this week, going down on the Whisper Wednesday and returning by the same boat to-day. Like everybody else who travels on the popular Whisper, friend Dick report ailrrrhadtiloh yt.;--m Mr. Jas. H. Larieu, the handsome and courteous young gentleman who p resides over the sheet music department of Wer lein's estatblishment, has kindly favored Mr. Reynolds of the CHIEF ithl a co) of f - iiulim the new opur f nine, wile is the latest rage. Thanks, Mr. Larieu; do so some more. Port Barrow will fire the first gun of the campaign this evening. A meeting is to be held in that village for the purpose of or ganizing a Nicholls club. Lieut. Hubert Treille is one of the most active promo ters of this movement and an enthusiastic admirer and supporter of the gallant Prabk Nicholls. We learhWfrom the New Orleans Cily Item that Mr. C. C3ar, the engineer in charge of the work o?'sridging the Atchafalaya river at West Melville f5rt4he Texas and Pacific railroad, reports a large force at work and says satisfactory progress ieing made. It is expected that the bridge will be finished by the 1st of DBt.ember. Messrs. Jos. M. Keasi t and F. N. Gray have retired from their .positions as busi ness manager and publ her of the Ascen sion D)emoscqt respectively. Numerous rumors as to misunderstandings and in felicities in the househould of our neigh bor are extant, but we presume the inter uial disturbance will be shortly, quieted in -.-.- ?-4 - ,a i manner. There -sems to bu - -ebealput the parish jail for Black Eliza, an ~ - deily unablb to keep out of that institution three "days at a time. This notorious fe male wpsi teleased day before yesterday after having been imprisoned several weAs for disturbing the peace, and this morning she was returned to her former quarters for getting druifk and fighting. We learn that Mr. Geo. J. Legendre, the gentlemanly young operator in charge of the Western Union Telegraph office at the Peep-o'-Day Hotel, has tendered his resig nation, and it is reported that his place is to be filled by a lady. Mr. Legendre has made a number of friends during his stay in Donaldsonville who will regret to see him leave. May good fortune attend him. Mr. W. L. Stirling, the young gentleman from West Feliciana who rendered the CHIEF seven months of efficient service as a printer, left us two weeks ago to accept a more desirable situation in the office of the St. Francisville Senflinel. During his stay in Donaldsonville friend Stirling won the good will and esteem of all who formed his acquaintance, and other friends besides ourselves viewed his departure with regiet. Finding it impossible, by reason of low water, to make another trip down the La fourche with his little steamer J. G. Fletch cr. Capt. White will take the boat back to Shreveport, leaving here this evening. Our brief acquaintance with Capt. White has been of a very agreeable character and we regret that lie can not remain with us longer. The Fletcher and her genial com iander have our best wishes for their future pIrosperity. ie total assessment of the taxable prop .rty of St. Jsmes parish for the current year is $2,118.,44, an increase of $140,806 over tkh of 1S82. This is l.e first yehr, awe believe, that the assessment of Ascen slot has exceeded that of St. James,-ours being- .i2,147.390 or $28,906 in excess of; t hat of our sister parish. We believe there :are few parishes in the State that can ejnw in augelcntalt;on of taxable values Equal to tiat recorded upon the a-ses :nent rolls oif Aeleu-io- for 18;3. |On Sunday last Coroner Duffel viewed the body of Mary Wallace, an old colored woman who died at her residence in Smoke Bend without medical attendance. The Coronerwas satisfied from an examination of the remains that~death had ifn caused by gastritis and old age, and he gave a cer tificate to thateffect. Deceased was the wife of Charles Wallace, a respected resi dent of the Smoke Bend aighborhood. The many friends and acquaintances of Mr. James Feely, son of our townsman Michael Feely, Eiq., will be pleased to hear that the young man is about-to complete a course in telegraphy at the Telegraphic Institute, Janesville, Wisconsin, and se cured a situation in Chicago which he will occupy as soon as he leaves the Institute. Jimmie is an apt and steady young man and we have no doubt he will succeed handsomely in his new vocation. The surveying party headed by Mr. J. C. Collins whose advent we noticed last week have finished work at Donaldsonville and are making their way down the Bayou La fourche. Among other marks and levels. they established in this neighborhood for future use and reference is a stone sunk even with the surface of the ground at the corner of Attakapas and Chetimaches streets, opposite the Court House, upon which are cuBthe letters U. S. N. O. Our able youhg friend and fellow citizen, Mr. Edmund Maurin, who holds a position in the New Orleans post-office, visited'ion aldsonville this week, on a brief leave of absence, and spent three days very agreea bly among his relatives and numerous friends in this plaqe. We frequently hear very complimentary reports relative to the efficient manner in which Mr. Maurin per forms his official duties, and were pleased to find that his close attention to business has not impaired his health or prepossess ing appearance. Little Emma Weber, the six-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Emile L. Weber of Donaldsonville, met with a painful acci dent, last Sunday noon. While playing in the hall of Cheap Tony's store -building with a number of other children, who were amusing themselves sliding down the ban isters, Emma fell down the steps, spraining both arms and one leg and bruising her face. We are glad to learn that the unfor tunate little girl is getting along nicely and will in all probability soon recover from the effects of the accident. Our popular friend Alfred Levy, Esq., was one of the passengers who boarded the palatial Cannon at the Donaldsonville wharf, Sunday evening. He proposed re mainining a few days in New Orleans before proceeding to Thibodaux to assume charge of the store of Mr. Lehman Mayer, his brother-in-law, but is now no doubt in stalled in his new and responsible position. We trust Alfred will let his Donaldsonville friends hear from him early and often, as they will always be gratified to learn of his prosperity and well being. The Democrat made a mistake in presum ing that Clerk and Recorder Bentley had furnish a copy of the list of jurors to the de facto official journal for publication. The law authorizes'the Clerk to publish the list in any newspaper in the parish, and the legal requirement was duly fulfilled. If upon a glaring an C 0 iOI of law and neglet;tf official duty, we coIh mend to its notice the action of the Police Jury in designating the Democrat as offi cial journal of the parish. Our highly esteqmed young friend Willie II. Davis, Esq., of Hampton Store, left here on the steamer Cannon, last Sunday, for an extended pleasure tour that will com prise a visit to most of the principal cities and many of the oiler points of interest in the East, North andWest. He will return home by way of Loitsville and take in the big Exposition that is proving such a gFeat source of attraction. We hope his trip will yield all the enjoyment he can possibly anticipate, and that we shall soon have his smiling face with iit again. CoFIrLry G(UAnns--Official notice is given in another columnnhat hin important meet ing of this commatkd will beheld next Wed nesday evening. ifficers fot the ensuing year will be electl and finamcial business of importance transacted. eltfy member of the G&arls is urged to lie in attendance. Th eetf'.t lp a movement to build an ari mory at.l supply the copmand with nevw uniforms, and if the members show a de= termination to maintain their organization we have, no doubt they can obtain ample ance in carrying out these objects. Blaine M o. oeio=, L4 jme b was found in th ariver opposte plantation, last.aturday, was secen gineer on the steamer Fanchon, and fellor jumped overbord from that boat the pre ceding Thu'rsday morning. The splash he miride falling-into the water attracted at tention and the Fanchon laid to several hours while an unsuccessful search was made for the boy. Mr: Roberts was a I nephew of Mr. D.C. McCan, the foundry man, and leaves a mother in feeble health at New Albany, Ind. Whether he met with an accidental death or committed suicide is a mystery. ST. VINcENT'S ScaooL.-In accordance with previous announcement in the ChIEF, the Sisters of Charity of the St. Vincent Institute opened their, day school for the term of 188S-84 on Monday last with a good attendance of pupils. Parents and guard inns who intend t4 send their children and wards to this excellent school ought to do so without delay, as it is a great advantage to pupils to begin,their studies at the com mencement of the session. They have little difficulty then in keeping pace with their companions and the rate of progress at tained will be more satisfactory to both scholars and teachers. It was with much regret that we learned last week of the death of Capt. E. A. Szalla, the gentleman who had command of the party of United States engineers engaged in surveying Bayou Plaquemine during the past two months. On the occa sion of a recent visit to Plaquemine we had the pleasure of meeting Capt. Szalla and found him to be a most genial and accom plished gentieman. The Iberviile So.lh says of the deceased He was a native of Hungary, and his family are at preS~nt in Altona, Germany. He hai. been in the government service for the past three year-,. ndler command of Major Stickney. He was thoroug'hly educated. and was consid er d, one of the best engineer. in the service. The officers and men under him speak in the highest terms of his talents and nobility of sou!. His remain',- were fiollowedto to their last resting r!:,'e ilne ( ate; aci cenetery, on WtS.:inesday .lor';g''. y r' ,are number of our citizens No CounT.-Shortly after the return of Judge "Cheevers to Donaldsonville, hit Sunday, District Attorney Earhart presen-' ted him the document signed by theofl.cers .of the parochial and municipal Boards of Health, recommending the adjournment of the September term of District Court on account of the prevalence of small pox in the community. Deeming the reasons for the recommendation cogent, the Judge promptly issued an order to the Sheriff to adjourn the September term sine die. This was.done on Monday in due form. A num ber of the persons drawn for jury service during the first week of the term, appeared at the Court-House ready for duty, and most of thenmwere much pleased to learn that they were at.liberty to return home. Judge Jno. A. Cheevers reached home Sunday and has been cordially greeted. by his legion of friends, who were nearly as much surprised as pleased to note the very marked improvement in his appearance. He has accumulated flesh until he tips the scales at 200 pounds, and his walk is much more erect than it has been for years be fore. While in New Y'ork he placed himself in the hands of a celebrated physician, who readily located the Judge's spinal trouble and subjected him to a course of treatment that has greatly alleviated his ailment and given him strong hopes of complete recov ery in the near future. He had a very pleas ant trip and spent some delightful days at LongJranohan-r e-New Yark with relatives and friends he had not seen for forty years. The Fletcher returned from her last trip down the bayou on Saturday, and has devo ted the greater portion of the week to the preparation .of a landing place for the steamers of the Red River and Coast Line just above the old river ferry landing. A series of piles and trestles have been pro vided upon which staging has been laid, and groups of piling placed at a sufficient distance from the shore to afford the steamers an ample depth of water and pre vent them from drifting or being blown aground. The steamboats in the New Or leans and Bayou Lafourche trade will use this landing place during the low water season, exchanging freight there with the flatboats running in'the bayou. A tempo rary warehouse has been erected on " the point" at the junction of the river and bayou, where freight subject to damage from exposure to the weather will be depos ited pending its shipment. STonRE ROBERY.-The store of Mr. Juan Calafel, in the third ward of this parish, was broken open last Monday night and a quantity of goods stolen, including a bucket of coffee, eight or ten shoulders of meat, quarter of a barrel of flour, a sack of rice, two cedar'buckets, a revolver, and a pocket book containinft ten one-fifth tick ets in the Louisiana State Lottery, a ticket in the lottery of a Donaldsonville ,building, two receipts and $7 in money. Suspicion fastened on Charley Brooks, a colored res ident of Donaldsonvillie, as the perpetrator of the robbery, and a search of his premises resulted in the recovery of all the stolen articles exceptmg the revolver and the $7 in the house and were identified by Mr. Cala fel, who described the contents of the pock et book before it was opened. Brooks ob tained an intimation of the approach of the officers and escaped to the cane field of Capt. Nolan's plantation in time to avoid has been in several scrapes of a similar character before. As if to emulate the example of their white fellow citizens, the colored Baptists I of the secnd ward-or at least those who be long to the congregation of the First Bap- c tist Church-have become involved in a con tri.ersy somewhat similar to that prevail- I ing among the Catholics of our parish. A new board of trustees was recently t elected at, this body has entered a seques- t tration and injunction suit against Rev. s Jacob G. finer, pastor of the church, r alleging maladtiinistration on his part and a the-possession dchurch records which I should not be in l keeping.

' I HOMICIDE IN ST. JAEs.--Abo# dusk, Thursday evening, a colorbd m, named Thomas Jerry.was killed by t 'r. Emanuel Kahn. in a store kept by e latter on the Ross- & McCann, tatipn, in the parish of St. ,.e x mil below the -court ecead entered the store brand-, r ishing a revolver and refused, to, desist thou xpostulated with by tfe proprietor and waiaed that hle might kill, some one. Mr. Kahn's wife and child were in the store and fearing they migit be hurt he got them int.oa back roo'm, Jerry mean while deliberately firing two shots towards the party, one of the bullets pas-fng in close proximity to Mirs. Kahn. Mr. Kahn ran be hind his counter and seized a revolver, and while Jerry was in the act of firing again. shot him dead. The Coroner's jury ren dered a verdict of justifiable homifde, but as a matter of precaution Mr. Ka. has t been placed under bond of $20.00 for t.iic e ipearance before tie District Court. Iti d evident that the killing was done in defe e of his life and that of his wife and ch d, d and hIis brave action is to be commended. So SMLL Pox.--The few remaining cses of e this disease in our town are being.l cosely guarded and isolated and are donfined e wholly to the infected localities heretofore r designated in the CIasEF. Pec le familiar with the facts have ceased to feir the spread li ing of the malady, as the aresof the infec ted district has been graduacly but surely diminished, and while comrnpbte extinction has not been accomplished as soon as the more- sanguine had expeckd, it is evident that the disease is steadily 6ubsiding and e promises soon to leave no ýutirely. There has been one death since pier last report Rosalie Edmund, a ce.oreld woman, at the corner of St. Patrick-Aud Claiborne streets, who was taken sick .ist week, the case not having been discoiered until after the punb lication of our piper.
