THE SEDAI1A WEEKLY BAZOO. JULY 28, 1891. 3 THE CRESCENT CM. Its Surface Drainage Enough to Giro the Yellow Fever "Wood Margaretta." New Orleans, La., July 18. I Special Correspondence. This city has surface dra n ige or sewerage oil o! the principal streets, the accumu lated filth in these ditches is quite sufficient to give one the yellow lever or cbulera. I went nut to investigate them this morning and found in the back of the city toward these curb ditches run a place in wlnca faith bad accumulated f) that the aroma and looks of it made me Bick. fi is simply terrible I visited the home of 'he murdered Chief of Police. Mr. Hennessy and stood upon the spot on which he fell first, in front ot nis gate. The house was a em ill two story frame house and enclosed in front with a high woo ien picket fence. I notice1 several bullet holes in the fence. The neighborhood is. I consider a bad cne, It is am ng dadoes -.nd ne groes. and now in a very filthy condi tion. His mother now lives in this house and it has been guarded until quite recently by police. Canal street is tbe principal street in the city, all other streets ruu into it and in whatever part ol the city I find nmelf'I just take a street cir and remain in it ami I find myrelf in Canal street by tbe Clay monument, three blocks from St. Charles hotel The Clay monument is about thirty feet high and h'S a large representa tion of Henry Chy standing upon it. Tbe lepresenutiou is too large and looks more like a giant tlian it repre sents a man. -It is a dark brouz. color, with head uncovered. The Koliert E. Lee inonumen is far out in the city aud is made of thin slabs of lime stone. The ground is graded up to repre sent a bill aud on this a foundation is built some ten fret high, and on this founda'inn a Eevcuty-five or eighty feet hollow column, made circular oi lime stone slabs, being placed upon their ends and on top of it stands R. E. Lee in citizens' dress with sword by his side. In the lower part of the city i3 Jackson Square, a beautiful park, in which Geu. Jackson is repte.-ented by an equestrian statue, elegantly made, aud as natural as life. In the cemetery stands the statue f "Good Mrg8rette," holding the hand of an orphan. This Margarette was an old Irisli woman who lived here and made an immense fortune by running a bakery. She made donations to all charit: ble institution, assisted the poor and daily sent large baskets of bread to the orphan asylum for the children to eat between meals. Bernado Klotz. a boy whom she raised, now one of the wealthy men of this city, inherited her vast future with a pro vision in tbe will that the orphan asy lum was daily to receive this bread forluucbeon. This he continues to do. This bakery aud cracker factory has a capacity of 400 barrels of Hour daily. Each private dwelling has a thing behind it like a water tank on a rail road. These are called cisterns. From these the families of the city get their supply of water. The pavements in the city are in bad condition. They are paved in the principal streets with large blocks of lime stone rock, and are exceedingly rough to drive over. But few streets are numbered, and these are down underfoot at crossings, moulded in iron slabs. South American ships run here, carrying bananas and cocoanuls, also cargoes of lemons which are emp tied into the large warehouse and auctioned oil to the highest bidder. They are then boxed and shipped to various ports. I saw car loads of cocoanuts beiug loaded into the cars from the steamer and also trains of banenas. If more bananas are brought to the ship than are contracted for by the ship in South America, or more than a cargo, the ship buys all and pays for them, has them brought aboard and then has the crew take large, cleaver knives aud cut the bunches in two and throw them out into the ocean where they drift far out to sea. This is done to keep up the price and to keep out other ships from get ting cargoes in that port. Numbers of large steamboats are tied up opposite New Orleans, and are relics of former days when river had control of the commercial world. Mow they have no business. Schooners are in here loaded with charcoal made of pine. This coal is sold at 27 cents a barrel. They put about a bushel and a half in an old gunny Back and call it a barrel. W. H.

Mr. Bellow and Mrs. James Browo Potter Still in Single Harness. San Francisco, Cal., July 22 The etory rent East several nightB ago that .Mrs. James mown rotter and Kyne Bel;ew, the actor, had been married in Hong Kong is pronounced a fake pure and simple by Dr. Gay lord ot tbe steamer Belgic, who was given as authority for the story by tke correspondent. Dr. Gaylord says however, that t'se couple were in Hong Kong, posing as man and wife just as tbey have been d ung lot a year past in every country they have visited. Ibis ttatement, tnale in a casual way during the course of a private con vet sal ion was tbe only basis for tbe fake that has caused such a sen sation. The doctor declares that he siid untiling abiut the Potter-Bdlew tuor of Australia, India and China, nor anything in reference to their hav ing given wine dinners with people of of noble birth as guests, and tquan fenuz &2o.0U0 in this manner. ro one in the Orient believed that thev were married.

As the fiuancial distress of Mrs. Potter and Blbiw, I am not responsible for the telegraph" ed statemaut, and whether the doors of fasbionabie houses "here they bad been recrived as guests will be or have been closed agiinst them, I know not" Purser Keith of the steamer Mouo- wdi declared that while the Potter- Bellow company was in Melborne the ex society queen and her actor lover were socially ostracized and gathered around them the boheroiau element. Their relations were well known and handled without clove?, aud on their opening night at the Princess Thea tre they w re nisseu fl the stage. The guilty couple repaired at once to Syd ney. Anyone who has ever visited these two cities knows What intense rivalry exists between them. If any thing in the line of theatricals suc ceeds in Mclbuorne it is certain to fail in Sidney, and vise versa. Cou sfquently the Melbourne hissing caused a large crowd of Sjdneyites to patronize the play. After a success ful feon in Sydney the company gave Melbourne another visit, un daunted by the terrible leceptioti they had received not many days before. Again were they ostracized by the better element, but had a rosier time than they experienced on their first visit. There they openly passed as a married couple, although it was no torious that tbey had nu righ to do so. A CURE FOR UkAMP4 IN THE STOM ACH. Albert Erwin, editor of the Leon ard, Texas, Graphic, says : "For the cure of cramps in the stomach, Cham berlain's Colic, Choleia and Diarrhoea Remedy is the best and most speedy I ever used." Many others who have tried it entertain the same opinion. For sale by Aug. T. Fleischman. , IN THE CITY. The following communication was received by the Bazoo to-day; Editor Bazoo; It was stated in this morning's Gazette that Hawkin's whereabouts aro unknown. His is in the city and with friends, has been seen on different occasions by respon sible parties. T. Hawkins will be remembered as the scoundrel who refused to marry the Canadian young lady who came here some time ago in search of a father for her child and if be is in the city and does not show himself openly, also does not right the wrong he has committed while there is yet time, he proves himself not only a scoundrel, out a doable dyed coward. SHOT H KR DEAD. Frank Almy Mnrders Miss Chris tie Warden Near Hau over, N. H. Hanover, N. H., July 20. As Miss Chri'tie Warden, accompanied by her in ithtr. her sister Fannie at.d Louise Goodell, was returning on fo3t to their home, located one mile from the village, at a late hour la-t uicbt, Frank Almy. about thirty years ot age, jumped in tbe road in front of mem huh seiiiug iunsic uj iuc auu, said; "I want you." The mother aud sister attempted to defend her and Almy tired at tbem, but missed. They ran for assistance. Then Almvdraeged bis victim into the bushes from the road and shot ber twice through the head, one shot tear ing out her left eye. When help ar rived the girl was dead, and her body n as stripped of nearly every article of clothing. Almy had fled. Miss Warden was a beatiful and a most estimatable young woman, about twenty-five years old, a gradu ate of the State Normal School and a popular teacher. Almy was a former employee ot her tatner, anu nis atten tion to Miss Christie had been repuls ed. She was the daughter of Andrew A. Warden, a wealthy farmer and leading citiz?n. The greatest excitment exists throughout this section over the mur der. Scores of armed men are guaid ing the bridges and highways lor forty miles around and the telegraph is hurrying to every town and village within "a hundred miles nu accurate description of Frank C. Almy, for whose apprehension a reward of Sl.OOii is offered. Posse? are scourmc the country and college professors and siudcuts have joined the seatcb. The inurderei's personal dc-criptKiii is as follows : Age. twenty-nine; height, 5 feet 10 inches weight, 150 pound.'; complex ion sandy, mustache and small growth of beanl dyed bl .ck when j last seen, hazel eyes, r'gular features even and well preserved teeth, large Inuds with nails cl03?Jy filed aud hacks heavily covered with hair, scar of cut on left wrist, walks with a shrug of the hui'ders. Well edu cated, and when hist seen dressed in a black shirt coat, light trousers, and wore a straw hat. Claims to be a Georgian by birth, and to have lived in the south for many years. Everything that human power ran do is being done to briuz the most brutal murdeier to justice. The New Hampshire authorities have entered upon the search with an unusual vigor and it is hoped 'that before another twenty four hours pass the fugitive will hi under arrest. No melodrama ever staged, presents a more thrilling realistic scene than that ot tbe death ot Christie Warden. A pen-picture could do no justice to the awlul experience ot the ill fated ciil before death le! eased her from suffering, nor to the anguish of the mother nud f-istcr, who braved death to save their loved oue, only to see ber murdered and to bear her death cry ring out ou the s ill air of night One theory is that suicide was the sec ond act in the tragedy, aud that Almy s body will be fouud within a few hours. Another is that, having long prenaeditiled the act, he planned such spetdy and effective means of es cape that he is already a considerable listacce away: Almy first came here abDUt a year aco, claiming that Savannah, Ga., was his home. He worked at ent worth a while under another name. It is pretty certaiu that Almy had been lurking around for several weeks watching for an opportunity to do bis devilish work. Twics within three weeks members of the Warden home hold had been startled by discovering a man looking in at the window after lark. Ou the night of the commencement concert, June 24, a man was seen sulking around the residence of Prof. (J. II. 1 ettes, whose guest Miss ar- den was at the time. He undoubt edly intended to kill her as she re turned trom the entertainment, and would have done so bad he not been frightened by a neighbor, who caw him about the dwelling. Several young women resembling Miss Warden have been followed bv a man of Almy's appearance, which shows that he has been in hiding du ring the daytime, coming out at night to search for his victim. The ringing of the c liege bell at 3 o'clock this afternoon called out an additional force for extending the search. The lectures in the medical college have been suspended and many ot tne siuaenis nave joineu in the hunt. Up to 7 o clock no very promising clues have been found, unless at White River Junction, where rank Osmer, who lives on the fair ground, was awakened by a man said to an swer Almy's description, who much fatigued, and who anxiously inquired OIVI3 ENJOYS Both the method and results when Syrup of Figs is taken; it is pleasant and refreshing to the taste, and acts gently yet promptly ou the Kidneys, Liver and Bowels, cleanses the sys tem effectually, dispels colds, head aches and fevers and cures habitual constipation.

Memphis, Tenu., July 21.- fSpec- jial Correspondence. J 1 arrived in Memphis one week ago to-day, direct from Old Missouri, and have put in the time in seeing everything of im portance in this, the second city of tbe couth. .Memphis is a modern city (that is in the estimation of its inhab- tan's.) Tne principal buildings are tbe Custom House, situa'ed on tbe bluff, from which, one has a beauti ful uiew up and down the Mississippi river, adjoining the Custom House is a quarter million dollars library building, considered to be the finest in the South. The Gayoso is the oldest and leading hotel. This is the hotel in which a noted actress was robbed of her diamonds several years ago. The Peab-dy, Gaston's, Luehrman's and Fransioli are also leading hostelries. Occupying a block on the principal streets of the city is a public park filled with Etiuirrels, is i is also a favorite trys ing place for young lovers of the Blufl City. Mem phis is not-d for its handsome and wealthy young ladies, many oi whom during the summer months become the reign ng belles at fie leading eastern seaside resorts. The bulk of Memphis' busiuis? which is furnishing planters with supplies aud the handling of cotton, cotton seed, etc , is tiausported by river. She ranks secon i as a cotton rmrket aud first as a supply market. For tho crushing of seed she has five mills, miming night ami day for eight months of the year. Memphis is s well known that it will be useless for me to dwell further ou her wonderful resources. After doing Memphis I engaged passage ou the old race horse steaim r, James Lee, one of the fast est boats on the Mississippi, for a round trip, g' ing as far as Friar's Point, Mis-issippi. The James Lee is oue of tbe celebrated Lee Line steam ers, founded by that old time and well known steamboat man. Capt. James Lee, totter known as Jim Lee, one of the best story tellers that ever commanded a boat. The line is now controlled by his sons, Captains Robt. and James Ltc Jr., and consists of five handsome s'eamers. Tbe James Lee is in charge of Capt. E. T. Claggatt, a mo-t genial and efficient commander, of the old school. We left Memphis at five p. m., in a few moments passed between piers of the new bridge and left the city far behind. I tben began to look my fell.iw-passengers over, with a view of striking up a conversation with one or more of them, and was successful in making the acquaintance of Col. Wm. Dickerson, through the courtesy of Capt Claggatt. Col. Dickerson is owuerof the "Elkhorn Plantation," situated in Coahoma county, ten miles from Friar's Point, and is one of the largest and best equipped plantations in the state. The Colonel is a man of about forty, and a typical southerner with plenty of what I call "gcod sound sense." He gave a very press ing invitation to visit "Elkhorn" which I promised to do in the near future. We took supper together in the capacious cabin and an excel lent meal it was. Tho Lee Line be ing noted for its excellence of cuisine of their boits. Out first landing was male at Peter's Island, where we de posited a very large amount of grain and supplies. This is one of the fin est plantations in Arkansas and is the property of At'orney General Peters, of Memphis. We tben crossed the river and landed at Wilson's, Miss, then back to Whitehead, Ark , and kept crossing and recrossing near up to eleven o'clock when I turned in, it being so dark that I could not obtain a view of the country which we were passing. I awoke at six a. m., after a good night's rest and found the boat lying at Austin, Miss., discharg ind an immense amount of grain, groceries, lumber, etc. Austin is a very quiet little village consisting of nail a aozen ouiiamgs, quue uusauwu to the outside world until tbe Spring of 1890, when it came into promi nence by the breaking of tne levee immediately below the villi ee, dur- ine the high water of that vear. This break caused the surrounding country, to be over flowing and wrecked devastation to everything in its path. Our next landing was at Trotter's Point, where we remained only a few moments, 151 rjtsWn MMaiMiSBIBVMlBBeia and then sped towards Helena, Ark., which city soon came in sight. We laid at the Helena wharfboat for one hour and most of our passengers dis embarked there. We then left for our last landing Friars Point, fifteen miles distant, which we reached in fifty minutes, making, as I have been told, a remarkable run. The city is situated a mile and a quarter from the landing. Capt Claggett informed me I would not have time to walk up iu the city, there being no carriages at the landing, as he would head his boat up tbe river as quickly as pos3t b'c. I bid Col. Dickinson farewell, and remained at the landing, watching the roust abouts trotting backward and for ward with their heavy burdens under the command of a very stern mate, who had excellent lungs, and a very stout hickory club. We laid at tbe Point thirty minu'es, tben started back up the river. From the Boiler decWof the steamer I obtained an excellent view of "Westovei" just below Finars Port on the Arkansas side. This plantation is the pride of Arkansas and consists of 3,500 acres, planted exclusively in cotton. It is by far the most magnificent planta tion in this section of Arkansas. The buildings consisting of store, man agers dwellings, gins and negro cabins are all substintial and very prettily laid ou', resembling a small city. This plantation is owned by two well known citizens of Memphis. Colonels J. F. Jeflerson and H. M. Neely, c imposing the firm of Jefferson & Neely. I contemplate making a trip down the L. N. O. & T. By., and will then "do" Fnars Pt, it being rituatedon the Riverside Branch of that line, our first stop after leaving thePt, was at Delta Miss, a planta tion landing, where we obtained one cabin passenger and twenty 'deckers,' 1 be deckers being negroes, wno ride on deck of boat. And being carried to Memphis for one dollar. They all patronize tbe deck, wbere tnere is a brand lunch ttand provided for them, and tbey proceed to make mer ry during their fifteen hours ride to Memphis. In a lew minutes we signt Helena and a dull and sleepy place it :eems. It is situated at tne toot oi s ranee of hills and is very frequently overflowed during the annual overflow of the river. The principal business of Helena is furnishing small plan ters nearby with supplies, most of them being negroes. lhe city cm boast of two cotton warehouses, one oil mill and two saw mills and sev eral very wealthy citizens. The lead ing spirits ot tbe town being Oolonels J. W. Clnpton and C. L. Moore. who have amassed very large fortunes from their supply business. Nothing of import mce transpired on our re turn voyage, ibe boat landed at every plantation, so I retired early and awoke early the next morning, nnding the boat laying at tbe whan i t ; . i . in luerapui. uusi iniriy nours irom the time she left it, Cap. Claggett in formed me that times were very doll in steamboat circles, just now, ae the boats were carrying supplies dowa to tbe planters and they nave nothing to send to market. The boat returned "flying light" after another cargo of supplies. In the full waters welt charged, tbey having heavy cargoes both ways. I am delighted with my trip and in a few days con template proceeding further with ray investigation of the great Mississippi Helta and extend my trip to Arkan sas City. This time taking the "Kate Adams, ' tne crack ooai oi Jiempnis. I will also make a trip down the L. N.
