left upon Mr. Billan's mind, and as he informs
us, on that of most of the neighboring planters
is that the fire was set by that unknown indivi

some nefarious sooialis ic organization or a pyro

Our contemporaries have willingly ignored the

which Is the only true and faithful report of ihie
aftfJr that has been publihed in the city, ex
cepting Mr. Balian's letter to the Bee1, which ap
peared on the 31 of October.
What they call the senuatinnal report that
was printed in the DxMOCRAT on the day
after the occurrence, was a statement from
a gentleman just strived from St. Mary. The
faots, as is always the cane, just after any catas
trophe, were somewhat exaggerated, but true in
the main,as five sugar-houses were set on fire, se
he reported, though in fact only one was de

THE POSEY MYSTERY.
As day after day passes more light is thrown
upon the mnstery of the death of young Posey,
but as yet it has not taken. that definite shape
which would warrant a concluslon as to how his
life came to an end. Yesterday a young gentle.
man, who was a schoolmate of the deceased,
stated that he had met him on Canal street the
day of his death, and then Posey had on his per
1 son a considerable sum of money, for he dis
played several bills.
This would seem lead to the belief that foul p'ay
was at the bottom of the matter. Those wh'j have
given the matter some attention, and amongst
them an old ex-detective, thinks that the "friend"
mentioned in Posey's letter, who he said was to
accompany him to the theatre, may have been
stome new aequaintanoe who got him under the
infllence of liq ior, led him to that deserted part
of the ci'y and there murdered him, playing the
old and well-known dogs of placing all empty
pistol on or near the body. Who this "friend"
was has not yet developed.
C. C. Open Stock Board.
Some days ago we noti',ed the orunanization of
the Crescent City Open Stock Board. Yesterday,
at 11/, o'clock a. m., the board opened its rooms
with a fine lunch accompanied by a champagne
punch of the first magnitule-HrtJerer was the
basis and it came friom Hawkine'. It needs no
further encomiums. The proof of that kind of
pudding was in the drinking, and short work was
made of the same, so much so that when belated
friends arrived, friends who had been busy
selling stook. sampling cotton, or something else,
or writing articles, the punch was all gone and
Rtwderer in the natural state had to be pro.ueed.
Mo4t of our principal bankers and merchants
werepresent at thi- commercial festivit--the
Press was represent',d, the Stock Exchange, the
Cotton Exchange, etc., were invited, speeches
were made, toasts wore drank, and every thing
went on in the lI,veliest way. It is a pity that
business should not be done always in that way,
i it would b(e so pleasaltl as it is we noticed many
apt and serius bnsiness heads In the crown,
whose presence argured well for the future of the
t new board.
r Canal street Last Evening.
With the energizing October winds and bright
starlight overhead it was difficult for anybody to
stay at home last evening, and judging from the
crowd of promenaders out last evening very few
r did stay. From twilight to half-past 8 o'clock
Canal street presented as o.ltvened a picture as
it usually does in the height of the season, and
r the capacSty of the banqnettes of the boulevard
was fully tested. From Camp to Burgundy, on
either side, the ladies with their escorts loitered
along inspecting the brilli ntiy lighted shop
windows, and doing some sh ,pping in the lighter
articles. The sir had about it a c ispness that
was peculiarly grateful after the heat of the day,
and the moving promened re made the scene one
of much enjoyment to those who leisurely walkedl
along taking time to partpke of the panorama
of faces.
+ Religleus.
The vestry of Christ Church, Canal street,
have extended a formal invitation to the Rev. Mr.
W. P. Kramer, of Louisville, to become permas
nently connected with the rectorship of that
church, as an assistant to the venerable Dr. Lea
cook. Dr. Kramer, on Sunday last, delivered two
sermons, which were very highly thought of by
those who heard them; and we rejoice to learn
that this gentleman has accepted the call, and
will enter on the ministration of his parochial
duties on the let of Nowvmber. We confidently
predict that Dr. Kramer will prove to be one of
the most eloquent and effective preachers who
have b en connected with the church here for
years past.

MUNICIPAL MATTERS.
THE DRAINAGE QUESTION AND THE
PROTECTION LEVEE.
The Mayor and Administrator Oavanac paid a
visit to the New Lake End yesterday morning to
examine the condition of the protection levee,
which, as we have already said, has not
bhen improved b7the last recent storm. Surveyor
d'Hemecourt was engaged again getting a sup.
ply of willows from along the line of the Canal
Sireet Railroad and transportirg the same to the
protection levee. These willows, aflter they shall
have been converted into fascines, will be placed
between the piles of the levee and fastened by
means of strong cross pieces, at such points
only, however, where the great washings have
occurred, and will serve as a temporary
protection to the embankment against the
nor' westers that may occur between now
and the completion of the double-close pillg,
bids for the construction of which are now asked
for. It is the purpose of Mr. d'Hemecrurt to nus,
a goodly portion of the slope of the levee to fill
in the caves, as in his opinion, with the proposed
breakwater in front of the base, an inclination of
ten or fifteen degrees w.ll be sufficient where It
is now sixty degrees.
Bidd re for the work referred to are reminded
that it is to be paid in cash immedlati ly upon
completion, the City Railroad Company having
agreed to advance the money to the city, the
amount to be deducted from the taxes, which will
become due by the company on the first of Janu
arv next.
It is now urged that for greater security and as
an experiment osting comparatively little, and
worth the whi'e, to wall the outer slope of the
protection levee with ball st and cement.
We have tak' n some trouble to aecertain the
probable cost of a work of this kind and obtained
the following figures:
Twenty cubic let, on the average, of the best
kind of ballast suitable for the purpose, weigrhe
one ton, any qatuntity of which can be obtained at
fifty cents a too. It is estimated, at the unlside
figure, that the cost of delive ring the ballast on
the protection levee will be fif.y cents more per
ton.
While the
DIMENSIONS OF TIHE WALL
are variously estimated, we take the outslde es
finwa' e and say that It shall have a base of five
feet, with two feet at the top, which, according to
tihe calculations that have been made, woulI
make the cost of the wall about one dollar per
running foot, to which should be added two
dollars per running fo ot for cement an I labor,
making the total cost of this new style of revel
ment ior the 2200 yards of protection levee t0Yio0.
The total front of the lake, between the upper
and lower line drainage ennals, is about 4 42-100
miles, and if we take the figures mentioned, to.
gather with the estimated cost of the double
breakwater, we find that such works would cost
to complete the entire line of the like front
about, say for the ballast re votment $70,0"0, ard
for the close piling $161,000, or *230,000 fur
both. This. of course, is exclusive of
the earth embankment, which would have
to be erected between the new navigation canal
and the lower line drainage canal, a dittaice of
over 21,000 feet. As to the cost of snch levee
(we do not mean a levee of the dimensions of the
piece of protection levee now existing between
the New canal and the upper line dra~nage canal,
but a smaller one, which would keep the watersof
the lake from backing intt ourswamp), we under
stand that it would be trifling in comparison with
the $160,000 to $20(1,000 spent on the 220H) feet of
protection levee at the New lake. A rough estimate
of toe cost of a lev.e twenty feet at the base,
ten feet at the tip and fourteen feet high and 70 0
yards long woui, be about $63,000, showii'g that
the total oast of levee, ballast masonry and
double close pilitng breakwater would be less
than $300,000. It is barely possible that. the
Bienville street railroad proprietors, whoever
they (pay be, when that road gets out of the
bankruptcy ounrt, might be willing to aid in mak
ing the improvement from the New canal to
Milneberg, since the original company has the
right of way along the shoresof the lake between
the points mentioned.
We have given the above figures in order to
dispel an exaggerated idea of the probable cost
of a work whichi should constitute the first step
towards draining the city thoroughly, and keep
ing the waters of the lake from backing up ito
our swamps at any time.
THE PUBLIC MCHOOLs.
The action of the Board of Public Schools, on
Wednesday, in adopting a resolution requiting
the city to pay over to the board thp full amount
-$225,000--allowed in the budget for school pur
poses, meets at the City Hall with the natural
answer that the item reasting to public education
will meet with the same fate as all other items,
and the amount to bh turned over to the board
will be their t qual proportion of the taxes col
lected during the year.
We regret, for the sake of our school teachers,
that the rumors they have heard regarding the
re-opening of the schools are too well founded.
We were informed yesterday that it would be Im
possible for the board to decide upon the merits
and qualifications of the applicants for teacher.
ships and go through the process of selecting
them in time to re-open the schools by the 15th of
October, and that at their next meeting the
board will reacind its previous resolution and fix
the time in the first days of November, probably
the 4th, which will be on the first Monday in that
month.
GOING FOR THE CONTRACTORR.
The dulies of cerlifying to the work of the
contractors to pave, r'pair and clean the streets
and shell rosda of tho cry devolve Unon Admin
istrator McCaffrey and Surveyor d'Hemecurt,
and while both are opposed to a going some of
the certificates of last month, there seems to be
a mienlderetandi' g among them as to certain
others. which we will entdeavor to explain when
better informed. Of those who will not receive
cert:ficar a for September we may mention Fays
soux & Coleman, shell road contractors; Wm.
Henry, Fourth Distri3t, paving; John Kaiser,
street cleaning and repairing, Fourth Dstrict,
and Petrer Mvrkefy, bridges and streets of the
Sixth and 'teventh Districts.
As to Messrs. Fayssoux & Coleman, Mr.
d'Hemeconrt declares emphatically that they
have not done anything like the work required by
their contracs, ahd judging from his way of ex
pressing himself, these contractors will have a
good time in making him change his mind.
THE THIRD DISTRICT LEVEE.
The City tSurveyor yesterday formally notified
Messrs. Eflermann & Co. that they must begin
w thin three dave to repair the break in the river
bank bet; een the Levee Cotton Press and Pit tv
street. We have already said that, 'he wharf les
sees had aband'ned their idea to resist the de
mand, but only wanted a little time. since in
their opinion it was not absolutely necessary to
do the work at present.
ON THE RIGHT BANK.
There was a report yesterday at the City Hall
that a dangerous break had occurred in the levee
on the right bank of the river, below Tunisburg.
AN EXCURtsION TO MOBILE.
The Mayor and several of the city Adminies
trators and the City Surveyor have accepted an
invitation to go on an excursion to Mobile, for
what purpose is not exactly known. The party
are to leave this morning at 9 o'clock.
THE POSEY INqUEST.
Coroner Roche Trying to Ferret Out the
Mystery.
Coroner Roche last evening reenmed the in
quest on the death of W. T. Posey. The first
witness placed on the stand was
OFFICER PETER HALLOWAY,
who testified as follows:
On Monday night, the 1st of October, I was
standing at the corner of Erato and St. Thomas
streets. I was in company wi-h Officer Alexander.
At about a quarter past 12 o'clock I heard the re
port of a pistol, coming from the direction of the
levee. I remarked to Offic r Al ixander that there
was a pistol shot. He replied, "No, it wasa win
dow shutter." About three minutes later, by
myself, I walked out Erato street, toward Tchoup
itoulan street. At the corner of Thalia
and Thouo.toulas streets I heard Officer Abadie
dropping his club and proceeded toward him.
I remained in conversation with officer Aba'rie
about ten minutes. I asked him if he heard a
shot and he anaeered, "yes, it came from the
levee." I acesped the asewer as ss'istaory, as
soream. It sonded to s ase il it oame from a
woman. I asked officer Abade to sonsmpany
me and ascertain the oaese of the soream. He
eo nsented, and upon reaching the corner of
Thalia and Front streets, where the voices asp
peared to come from, I could see nobody nor
hear any footetens.
We then started down Front strret towards
Erato, and about midway the square, lying along
i4ie the wall on the grass and with his head part
ly underneath
A RAILTROAD TRUCK,
on his left side, his left arm outstretched
I and his right arm lying on his abdomen,
I saw the body of a man who subsequently
proved to be W. T. Posey. Thinking that the
man was intoxicated I endeavored to get him up.
I Taking him by the left hand, I found it so cold
and stiff that I at once knew that something was
wrong. Officer Abadie and I then went to the
rice mill at the corner and Itrocured a light.
We left no person with the body, and when we
returned with a light in company with Messrs.
Buckley and unllivan, employes of the rice mill.
everything appeared to be jnst as we had left it.
We were only about fifty feet from the mill. The
mill was in operation.I called their attention to the
man and remarked that he was not rot-bed. I
stepped over the body towards' the wall, ani
catching hold of his right eloow, turned him over
,n his back. We then proceeded to carry him
into the rice mill, and as we hfted him up I ,b
served a plitol fall, which I certify as the pistol
now before me.
We then saw the blood. We carried him into
the rice mill, and in putting some sacks under
his head I discovered that he had been shot.
I said that I believed he had committed snl
oide and proceed:ed to examine the pistol by put
ting a est k down the barrel. By measuring it I
found that the pistol
IIAD BENF DIRCHAiROD,
and as I did not know how to open the pistol I
gave it to Steve Timlin, an employe in the rice
mill, who opened it.
I took the pistol from Timlin, extracted and
exarmintd the ehell, and then rt placed it, retain
nwg the pistol in my prssessiou until the arrival
, f Sergeant G lvt, to whom I transferred is.
After I found out that the man was shot, and
tuspecting suicide, 1 returned to the place where
we found the boldy, and there found a pocket
book. It was rclsed. I opened it in the presence
of Mr. Tirnlin and a man who also ascompanied
me. The pocket-boo,k only contained a slip of
paper, which proved to be an order for needles
anid bracelets.
When Bergeant Galvin appeared, he sent me for
Dr. Bearil, city physiolan. When I returned wibh
the doctor I reatalied with the man notil 4
o'clock in the morning, We then proceeded to
remove the body to the station, and while on the
way the man died.
It was about twenty minutes from the time I
heard the shot ti, the tite when I found the
body. IIb wee unaonsolous from the time I
found him until te died.
Officer Theodore Abadia, being sworn, says
that he corroborates the above statement of Offi
cer Holloway.
After hbearing the above witnesses, Cornner
Roche continued the inque-t until Thursday next.
AFRICANS AND BLOOD.
A Man Stabbed In the Back and Danger
ously K ounded.
At half-pnst 9 o'clock last night, in a dilapidated
shanty, No. 64 Robertson street, between Biten
ville and Conti, the ever-dangerous weapon, the
knife, was again brought into requisition and
used with murderous effect upon a human being.
The diffi -ulty was between two negroes, Frank
Paso-l and Dani- I Brown which terminated in
the former beig stabbed in the left side of the
