Me Robs a Young Lady’s Jewelry and Defrauds a Bay St. Lonls Merchant. H. P. Belt, who spent a put of last summer here and well known about the Bay, is now a fugitive from justice, hav ing robbed a young lady of Chicago, who he met in New Orleans recently, of a gold watch and chain and a pair of diamond eatings. After having committing the deed he reached here and made arrange ments with Mr. Geo. Rodolph, captafc of the sloop Algerine, to take him to Cban deleur island. Before starting on this voyage Belt called on one of the Bay’s leading merchants and bought for 822.00 worth of provisions In payment for which he gave a check of $125 on the New Or leans Union National bank. Yesterday the check was returned to the merchant with the mention that it was counterfeit. Of him the New Orleans Item says: “Belt was once charged with stealing a horse in Minnesota, and was once cow hided by a young man in this city for for making Insulting remarks about his assailant’s sister. He was either a mar ried man or claimed to be, for on one oc casion be ran away from Minnesota with a young lady and claimed to be married In Tennessee. He had no money at the time, so the minister who married them took a kiss from the bride as his fee.” A Celebration. When the Bay’s contractor and builder, Mr, F. Bamond, does a thing, like all of his work, he does it well and in a neat style.

For The Echo.] Fitzsimmons the Champion* “The bravest are the tenderest,” And sometimes too, the slenderest And hardest to knock out, For he whose name rings thro’ the land, Is brave, is generous, is grand, But strikes like Russian knout. His mighty blows are dread to feel, His sinews work like springs of steel And swift as tightening's flash; His iron fist flies thro’ the air, And strikes the foe who may be there, With force like thunder’s crash. The while each brawny muscle shows The strength reserved for future blows Which follow fiercely on; Here Strength and Science blend to teach What might the human skill must reach To make a champion.

The little but fast growing town of Handsborc was the scene of much celebration and rejoicing on Sunday last. The day was a gala one and will long be remembered by the throng of visitors from New Orleans and along the coast. On that day two children were received into the folds of the church and two boats christened and launched. The chil dren were, one infant daughter of Mi. and Mrs. Martinolich, and the daughter of Capt. and Mrs. Ander son, of New Orleans. The ceremonies were conducted by Rev. Father Alphonse Ketels, of this place. The sponsors for the little one were the popular Capt. Jack Gerdes and Miss F. Pabolin and Capt. Gerdes with Miss J. Birken stock. After the ceremonies an ex cellent dinner was partaken of, and afterward everybody proceeded to the shipyards of Mr. Martinolich, the two beautiful boats were on the ways ready to glide into the water. The first was named “Malvina M. Anderson,” Miss L. Gaspar, spon sor; the second, the “Gertie,” little Miss Gertie Gerdes as sponsor, The yacht Gertie, twelve tons, is the property of Mr. C. Dindauer, of New Orleans. She is a beauty and is well built. The Malvina Anderson is intended for the charcoal trade, and is owned by Capt. S. Anderson. The editor of The Echo returns thanks for the handsome invitation received to be present. TO THE PUBLIC. As I seem to be the person aimed at by Mr. Alfred S. Cowand in bis letter in The Sea Coast Echo, of March sth, I believe a brief reply from me will straighten matters and enable the public to judge for itself. Mr. Cowand starts in by saying that he has reliable information that on the evening prior to the election some evil-minded party circulated a report that Mr. Cowand, (himself, A. S. Cowand,) and a lot of rich men had formed a chartered - body for the purpose of preventing the poor men from catching fish, by passing a law to that effect, and finally calls the party who circulated such rumor a “liar,’' and adds that he will prose cute the same if he will find out who they are. lam responsible to Mr. Cowand for any and all utterances that I made, and I say the lie must go right back to Mr. Cowand’s home where it shall receive the welcome and the shelter it has always had at his hands, and since Mr. Cowand has made this controversy a public one, 1 propose to begin at the commence ment and finish at the end. Here are the facts connected with the case: The night before the primary elec tion referred to by Mr. Cos wand, 1 made the following statement to sev eral citizens that were at my resi dence, and right there and then the Fishermen’s Protective Association was formed, the object of whiclf is known. I said that 1 had just reason to doubt Mr. Cowand’s movements by his past actions which are the fol lowing: Mr. Cowand himself said he had just presented a report to the Grand Jury, charging Messrs. bar with violation of the fishing law. The Grand Jury took no notice of his report, and this angered him still more. He was very angry when he spoke to me on the subject, and in sinuated that he intended to see to it hereafter. It will be remembered also that Mr. Cos wand was once an employeajpf the Dunbar factory but was sometime ago replaced by an other gentleman, then it was made apparent that he had a grudge agar st Messrs. Dunbar and for that reason tried to have them indicted for pre tended violation of the fish law. Therefore seeing his name connect ed with this association, myself and a score with me, judging from his past career, came to the conclusion that the time had arrived for us to protect ourselves, and this was the language that I used at that meeting, and anyother inferance in regard to what I or my associates said, let them or him be the liar. In conclusion, I say that the meeting was not a political one, simply an or ganization of our association, and Mr. Aug, Keller’s name has not been mentioned by me or by my associ ates. Victob F.
