DONALDSONVILLE, LA., Saturday, September 29, '83. LOCAL JOTTINGS. A. Riggs & Bro., cistern makers, 217 Delord st., N. O. Send for price list. Dr. Jno. E. Duffel, Coroner of Ascen sion parish, made a flying business trip to New Orleans last week. When we closed our forms last evening the weather signs seemed to forecast ant early rain. 'Tis greatly needed. The Police Jury of Assumption has fixed the parish tax of 1883 at six mills.- Li censes will be the same as last year, Mr. Fred. Duffel of the Donaldsonville bar spent last week in Pointe Coupde, at * tending to legal business in that parish. We direct the attention of our readers to the card of Mr. Harry Prudhomme, carpen ter and builder, which will be found else -where. Master Prosper Landry has been confined to his bed several days by an attack of fever. We wish him a speedy return to good health. Ascension Hook and Ladder Company's amonthly meeting will be held Monday even jng. The Rnights of Honor will assemble 'uesdaiy evening, and Phcenix Fire Com 1aiy the followihg Monday. . Woulfe and Nick Brennan were among the members of the Brennan base ball club i who called at the CsEsF office last week. Mr. John Hisgen, the incomparable um- th pire, also favored us with a call. in be The Red River and Coast Line steamer he Whisper carried to New Orleans on Thurs- ea dlay of last week the largest cargo of rice wi ever taken there by a single boat-6816 ar sacks. The Whitsper carried last year the. to, largest cargo taken up to that time-6627 sacks. The October criminal term of the Twen ty-Second Judicial District Court for the parish of St. James will open on Monday next, and Judge Cheevers and District At torney Earhart expect to be on hand pre pared for the performance of their respect ive official duties. Mrs. Dr. J. B. Vandegriff came up from New -?leans on Tuesday of last week to look after her property interests here, and remained until Sunday. She was accom panied by her son Eugene. The friends of the family will be glad to hear that they are.all in good health and well pleased with their ney home in Carrollton. 'On Thursday of last week Mrs. Homer Cire slipped and fell on a street bridge in front of her residence on Lessard street, breaking her leg. Surgical attention was promptly secured and the injured limb properly treated. We are glad to hear the unfortunate lady is doing well and will in all probability soon recuperate ersnirely from the effects of the accident. Mr. J. Eisworth, a member of the N w I Orleans firm of Messrs. M. Wanner & Co., was in Donaldsonville on Thursday and I Friday, the guest of his intimate friend Mr. Louis Wild, whom e had not met for eleven years.

We are under the impression that this Mr. Dolan is the same party who fig . ured as defendant in the celebrated dam age suit of Hart vs. Dolan tried in our District Court two or three years ago. Dolan surrendered to the West Feliciana as authorities, convinced that, the killing of in McKelvey was justifiable. 'al fn MISTIAL.-We heard it stated yesterday ts. that the trial at Napoleonville of the case of Gustave Harris, charged with murder ,h. for having shot and killed Erwin Garrett in Assumption parish on the 6th of last sM November, had resulted in a disagreement of the jury. We have been unable to obtain i further particulars up to the hour of going . to press, but we db not doubt that the re port of a mistrial is authentic. It is more a- than probable that Harris will be allowed is the privilege of bail. iis We learn that Mr. C. T. Sawyer, Past. at, Chancellor Commander elect of Kenneth Lodge, K. of P., about to be established here, has received a letter from Gen. Ja stremski, Grand Chancellor Commander for Louisiana, stating that as soon as the supplies for the Donaldsouville Lodge have come to hand, the officers of the Grand jurisdiction will visit our town for the pur pose of instituting the new lodge in due rd form. The supplies are looked for in the course of a few days. n- ANoTHEB RAcE.-Last Sunday afternoon to a race took place on the Bayou Lafourche road, a short distance below Capt. Nolan's , plantation, between the ponies of Messrs. ag Solomon Schonberg and Louis Wild. The distance run was three acres, and a stake of :25 aside was wagered on the result. Mr. 'd Schonberg's pony reached the goal about A- fifty feet in advance of his competitor and was declared the winner. A second race lIe between the same horses was spoken of, Lt- but has not yet been arranged. Old Antoine Diez, one of the most vener to able residents of this town, is ill and in a- needy circumstances at his residence oppo e site the new Bayou Lafourche bridge, head of Attakapas street. Constable John Ram , irez carried a subscription list around the of other day and obtained a number of small to contributions with which to relieve the aged sufferer's immediate necessities. Mr. Diez is very old and will probably soon pass away from the earthly scenes with which he 1- has been familiar longer, perhaps, than any e other resident of Donaldsonville. During the recent visit of the editor and r foreman of this paper to Plaquemine gee afforded the opportunity of meeting mar Ibf'vsTnsaends and making several new acquaintances, forem - them being the Misses Grass, three charm ing young ladies who rank among the C belles of the place. After a pleasant half c hour passed in their entertaining society it's easy for us to divine why these gentle girls, with their winning and polished manners, are so deservedly popular in the hospitable N town of Plaquemine. ti In the hurry of getting the last number of s, our paper to press we overlooked several glaring typographicaL errors, which were not discovered and rectified until after the Di portion of our edition intended for town distribution had been irinted and sent out. of One of these errors occurred in the item m relative to the reported strike of rice cut- the ters on Judge Henry L. Duffel's plantation. S. The types made us say that the rumor of ph the strike "proved to be correct. " whereas co we intended to say that it had proved to be incorreet. - the s of hey The little steamer Fletcher that recently rich made a few trips down Bayou Lafourche, connecting with the Yazoo Valley at Don aldsonville, sunk in Red River, last Satur ner day, near Chalk Level, six miles below im Shreveport. The boat struck a hidden ob tet, struction and was run on a sand bar where vas she settled in shallow water, three feet deep mb forward and five feet aft. It is thought she the can be raised without much trouble. The in Shreveport Democrat says that Capt. G. L. ely White and pilot Ben. S. Lewis deserve great credit for the coolness and courage they dis @w played. 1o.' Mr. John Terrio, one of the visitors to the Lad ball from Donaldsonville, lost his pocket-book tad containing a twenty-dollar gold piece, ten dol lars in currency, and some bills or notes. on for Thursday night. He did not miss the pocket 1re book until about entering the ball room when. wishing to pay the admission fee, found it gone. ras, -Assumption Pioneer. is We are glad to say that friend John did on not sustain the loss above referred to, al though he was under the impression in tb- Napoleonville that he had done so. Upon iks returning home, he found the pocket book ter lying where he had placed it while changing :he his apparel. The contents were intact and in John was pleased to find himself more than ie- $80 richer than he had supposed. ier SaALL Pox.-No deaths from small pox ne have occurred here during the past week, in and the disease seems to be abating not vn only in the number of cases, but in viru lence as well. There are only four patients sn under treatment.. and their names and ill places of residence are as follows: male of child of Victoria Arthur, colored, opposite e St. Peter M. E. Church on Claiborne a e, street: wife of Ed. Smith, colored, on a le Houmas street near Claiborne; child of Gus s tave Dugas, white, Opelousas street, be tween Railroad Avenue and Lessard street; 3 colored man at pest-house on church land r i near the railroad. a - - - - -a: THE NEW BarnGo.-Messrs. BOrger and tl Henry have accomplished the task of filling in e in the vacant space near the bottom of the a pier of the new iron bridge, and have also PI leveled off the surface of the pier so as to fc cure the defect caused by the slight deflec- rc tion of the structure from a true perpendic- j sn 0 ular line. The work seems to have been ta f done in a thorough manner, and will no St I doubt be readily accented .by the Donald- at sonville Bridge Company. Engineer Ben. ar McLeran has been summoned to inspect w< the pier on behalf of the local company, sh and on his report the action of the Board br of Directors will doubtless be predicated. fir The bridge was turted across the bayou the and back several times on Thursday, and thb was found to be in excellent working order. pr' The turntable is easily operated, and we stc are informed that a boy 12 years old turned ho the structure readily without assistance. A thi matter which now remains to be determined hoi is whether the Cleveland or Donaldsonville wb company shall put the broken approach to rat the town end of the bridge in order. This chi point will be discussed at a meeting of the by 11.Board of Directors of the home company the d-o be held to-morrow morning at the office a f Secretary Leche. 1 out t GETTING READY FOB GaInDInG.-On every hand the planters are pushing forward their - preparations for an early inauguration of t the grinding season. A number of mills in this vicinity have been operated for the - purpose of ascertaining if every thing is in r good order, and so far as we have ascer tained, the tests were all satisfactory. On Monday next, the 1st of October, grinding F will begin at the Evan Hall plantation of Messrs. McCall Bros., Mr. Buckner's Cres cent and Mr. Taylor's St. Emma places, all in this parish, followed on Monday, the 8th proximo, by Mr. James Teller's River side place. Messrs. E. k J. Kock of As sumption will start the mill at their mag nificent Belle Alliance place day after to morrow. Doubtless there are other places in this vicinity where equally early starts will be made, but the foregoing are all of which we have heard up to this writing. By the 15th of October the grinding season will be in full blast. CONCERT AND BALL.-In view of the ear ly opening of the grinding season the Terp sichorean Social Club, at a special meet ing held Thursday evening, decided to post pone the dramatic entertainment which had been set for the 22d of October, and to give instead a grand instrumental and vo cal concert, follo~ed by a balL Sunday evening, October 14, has been selected as the date for this entertainment, an adver tisement of which will be found in to-day's CnIEF. While the reputation of the Terp sichorean Club is sufficient assurance that the concert and ball will be all that could be desired by the most exacting, we feel justified in saying especial pains will be taken in the preparation and execution of the details pertaining thereto, in order that the social escutcheon of the club may be rendered still more dazzling by an achievement as bright as any of its prede cessors. The committees for the enter tainment are as follows: Arrmangements-Jos. Keating, G. A. Gon dran, Charles Maurin. Receptiom Committee-D. C. Gondran, Jos. Gondran, Jr., Jno. F. Terrio, Dr. F. Gaudin, W. C. Hanson, S. Tobias, Sam'l. Ayraud, E. F. Bertaut. Entertaliment Conmaittee-G. A. Gondran, W. D. Park, G. M. Bailey, Fred. Landry, M. Eisenberg. Floor Manaqges-Jos. M. Keating, G. A. Gondran, Fred. Landry, C. A. Maurin, Jno. S. Reynand. j NICHOLLS CLUB :METING.-At the meet s ing of the fourth ward Nicholls club held s at the Court House last Saturday evening, a the committee on constitution and by-laws y reported an instrument which was unani mously adopted and numerously signed. The report was presented by Mr. E. N. Pugh, who favored its adoption in a speech of much force and ability. He went over the whole ground of the gubernatorial con test and criticised the administration rings cmtfij ~ aersm i :: )re~a unstinted terms. Capt. Prosper Landry was calleS for tIA conclusion of Mr. Pugh's speech and made a few remarks, supplementing them by of faring the following preamble and resole tions, which were adopted: WHEREAs. The DonaldOonville CussE and the O New Orleans Pica pane have published the fol lowing report. to-wit: "If it be true, as ft alleged, that the support of the Democratic delegations of St. James, Ascension and As- 0 siumption, has beeu pledged to (Goy. McEuer- it by one or more local politicians," etc., there fore, t Be it resolved. That said pledge is a libel on tI the int ligence and independence of Ascension Democrats, who repel it with indignarion. Be itfurther resolved. That they shall- take care to send delegates who will respect the will of the people and not the pledges of one or o0 more local politicians. Be it further resolced. Toat they will support the nomination of him who is "under no man as or set of men, and if elected Governor of this State, will takeshis seat untrammeled and un- S Pledgd to any miin or set of men. clique, d coterie or faction."in.clue d The club then adjourned subject to the ol call of the president. Several members of the newly organized Nicholis Campaign Brass Band were present with their instru ments, and furnished acceptable music. fn- FRa IN PORT BARRow.-At 2 o'clock last ur- Monday afternoon the residence of Mr. ow Henry Schilfer, an old citizen of Port Bar b- row, caught fire and was burned to the ere ground. The house was situated on Pine ep street, on the second square from Bayou he Lafourche, and near the centre of the vil he lage. The fire is supposed to have originated L. from a stove in the back room of the dwell sat lmg. Mr. Schaifer was lying on his bed Is- asleep at the time, and when he awoke his room was so filled with flame and smoke he that he could not find his way to the door. ok Bursting through the weather-boarding at - one side of the room he managed to escape et- with asssistance from the outside, but not un ?1 til his hands had been severely burned. His nose, face and the back of his head were lid also burned and bruised, but not so badly 'l- as his hands. The people of Port Barrow in assembled at the scene and the Donaldson an ville firemen responded promptly to the ak alarm rung upon Ascension Hook and Lad ag der Company's new bell. The Babcock ex ad tinguishers of the company just named, tn manned by members of the Hooks and the junior Babcock Company, were taken across the ferry with all the dispatch pos sible and. one of the machines rendered ot good service in assisting the work of preventing the spread of the flames and t saving the adjoining residence and store of ts Mrs. Louisa Wutke from the devouring e element. It was not found necessary to e use the other extinguisher. The Phcenix te steamer was also taken across the bayou n and stationed at the water's edge, from r whence a line of hose was extended to the locality of the fire, and a good stream of ° water was soon playing upon the burning a: d ruins, removing all danger of further darn- e age. The saving of Mrs. Wutke's property t< and also of a large building directly across ci d the street, belonging to Mr. Henry Droege, g h in which a quantity of hay was stored, was s aea creditable achievement and was due a primarily to the bravery and herculean'ef a forts of a number of citizens of Port Bar- hi row, whose fabors were lightened and their - success clinched by the arrival and assis- re e tar~ce of the Danaldsonville firemen. Mr. al Schaifer's loss, including furniture, is prob ably about $300. Mrs. Wutke's furniture "t and a portion of the contents of her store were removed to the street, and of course ra she has sustained more or less loss from M breakage. Her house was on fire at one in time and ahole was cut in the roof to admit an the Babcock hose, while the fencing around the lot on the side adjoining the Schiffer ill property was destroyed. A little shed that stood between the Wutke and Schifer ti houses was pushed over into the fire and Tb this rendered the saving of Mrs. Wutke's S. house a much easier task than would other wise have been the case. While the fire was att raging it was reported that the two little children of the colored woman employed coa by Mr. Schtifer as a cook had perished in rev the flames. but it was subsequently ascer- cr tamed that neither the woman or she chil i dren were in the house when the fire broke lass l out. aPi ery BASE BALL.-The Brennan team from eir New Orleans arrived here by the morning of train, last Sunday, and were met at the in depot by the officers and several members the of the Nolan club and escorted to the Lee in Hotel, where they were entertained as the er- guests of Manager Lafargue during their On stay. The game of ball in the afternoon ng was witnessed by a large crowd of people, of 138 of whom paid 25 cents each for the priv es- ilege of sitting on the seats recently erected es, by the Nolans for the accommodation of the he public on such occasions. The match was er- one-sided in the extreme, the score showing ýs- 32 to 2 in favor of the Brennans at the close #g of the ninth inning. The home club did to- not play any thing like its usual game, while :es the skillful curve pitching of Landry and rts the heavy batting of the Brennan sluggers of placed their opponents at a very great dis By advantage. Cook had his hand split while on playing behind the bat during the seventh inning, and Nick Brennan, the genial see tr- ond baseman of the city team, took the p- place of the disabled Nolan player for the at- remainder of the game. The champions st- played their hardest, and it was only by a ch few good base-hits that the Nolans were to able to score a run in the first and second o- innings. Mr. Jno. Hisgen umpired the ay game in a very acceptable manner, and Mr. as R. McCulloh acted as scorer. As the score ir- sheet was taken to New Orleans by the m's Brennans and an :incorrect and garbled p- transcript thereof published in the city pa at pers, we are unable to give the score in Id detail. The Brennans expected to get away el at 4:25 Monday morning, but the train was be delayed eight hours by an accident to the of Atchafalaya incline, and did not arrive until at about 1 o'clock. According to the New iy Orleans Times-Democrat some of the party in complained that they were not hospitably e- received here, whereas they had been led to r- expect quite an ovation, and that none of the managers or members of the Nolans a- put hi an appearance at the hotel after the game. These statements are neither truth ful or in good taste. No unusually ornate 1 11 or enthusiastic reception had been prom ised them, and the unauthorized statement n, that a ball was to be given in their honor y, was a complete surprise to the Donaldson ville players, as no such entertainment was practicable or contemplated. Mr. Lafargue, the proprietor of the hotel where the visi t- tors were entertained, is manager of the Id Nolan club, and was at home during all the time the Brennans stopped at his house. During Sunday evening the captain and all VS the six players of the Nolan nine who live in town were at the hotel, and they all de rived the impression that most of the visi 1 tors showed little wish or disposition to be entertained, seeming to prefer the company r and conversation of their own party to that of others. We regret that such a question should have been broached at all, but since a members of the Brennan party have seen to' rbl blicity to the complaint noted, we think it bu' ir, its erroneous nature should be made known. The can readily sympathize with the weary wait of the Brennans at the depot, for our boys had a similar experience at Alexandria last fail; but we do not think a single member of the Nolan nine was cognizant of the fact that their visitors had not got away early in the morning. We certainly did not hear of their delay until late in the afternoon. The Viguets defeated the Nicholls club in the Plaquemine park last Sunday by a score of 33 to 7. Good for the Viguets! t A game was played by the Chas. Geigers and J. L. Brents on the McCall grounds, Sunday afternoon, and the little Geigers defeated their opponents by the heavy odds of 3G to 9, in seven innings, as follows: (ligrs........5 10 4 6i 1 3 7-36 Umpire. Louis Melanc:n of MeCalls. Scorer, Adam Falcon. The Nolans wi leave for Shreveport this evening and expect to have the following team: Tearney, p.; Bentley, c. : Stockmeyer, 1 b.; Leroy, 2 b.; Wuthe, 3 b.; Dugas, s. s.; Rodeillat, 1. f.', Hebert, c. f.; Terrin or For tier, r. f.; Bailey, substitute; Richard Barke, scorer. Several non-playing members pro pose to accompany the party, and a pleas ant excursion is anticipated. Three games will be played in Shreveport and the boys expect to be home on Wednesday morning's train. Another game between the Young Tigers and Bentleys is on the tapis for to-morrow. The Clarkes defeated the Stars at New Orleans last Sunday, 10 to 8. The Lees and Brennans play to-morrow. Danny Collins, one of the most popular ball tossers in New Orleans, died there last week, leaving a family in poor circum stances. An exhibition game for their benefit is being arranged. Mr. Collins was related to Mrs. C. Coughlin of Donaldson ville-a cousin, we believe. The Bostons have won the League cham pionship and the Chicago and Providence clubs are tied for the second place. Each club has got two games to play, but the Bostons can afford to lose both without en dangering their title to the first place. f Mr. J. B. Quimby, sub-lessee of the Bayou d Lafourche ferry, publishes in another col umn an emphatic denial of the report that he attempted to prevent the crossing of o firemen and their apparatus during the x prevalence of the fire in Port Barrow last Monday afternoon, or that he charged fer riage to firemen whom he knew to be such. These reports arose from Mr. Quimby's efforts to prevent the overloading of the ferry-boat while the engine and Babceck extinguishers were being taken over, and to prevent the crossing of the rabble, who could be of no service at the scene of dan ger, and some of whom were probably de sirous of obtaining an opportunity to pil fer. Of course it is quite likely that somen persons belonging to the fire companies, b ho were not known as members to Mr. ny or.his employes, may have been Id free passage; such oversights were aJk 4 unavoidable under the ciicum stz x , but Mr. Quimby indignantly denies the imputation that they were intentional. Mr. A. Horton, the painter and photog rapher doing business at the corner of Mississippi and St. Patrick streets, is lying in a critical condition, from consumption, and his death is expected to occur at almost any moment. We hear that his wife is also ill and that the patients are in distressing and destitute circumstances. A subscrip tion list for their relief was circulated on Thursday by Revs. M. Eisenberg and Robt. S. Stuart, and those gentlemen are devot ing a considerable portion of their time and attention to the care of the unfortunate A couple. No doubt there are a number I among our local readers who will help the reverend gentlemen in their humane and c charitable work-and assist in rendering the + last hours of the dying painter as comfort- di able as possible. a TELEPHONE CABLE.-A force of men em ployed by the Great Southern Telephone Company was engaged yesterday morning in laying the cable across Bayou Lafourche at this place which is to connect the wires of the New Orleans and Baton Rouge line, and by the time this number of our paper is printed no doubt the job will have been successfully completed and the connection established. The cable traverses the bayou immediately adjacent to the lower side of the new iron bridge. It is about two inches in diameter and is known as a seven-wire cable. It lays in little trenches extending from the base of the levee to the water's edge on each' ide of the stream, and will be securely fastened or anchored to the bottom. The telephone line between here and New Orleans is now in good working order. LIST OF LETTERS Remaining in the Post-ofice at Donaldsonville Ascension Parish, La., Sept. 29, 1u88.
