stsbled, with a quanti y oi dry hay over- win once procet-d (ns required byLead. They hay was artfully pulled down through the opening in the hole above and fired. The flvmes instantly shot up and caught all the hay in the loft, from which the rooi was set on fire.

Fortunately, the danger was discovered, the alarm given, and all the butchers rushed to the scene with buckets of water asd blood, and by the most active exertions and skillful management the lire was sub­dued before any serious damage was done.

There are eighteen slaughter pens on the ground, all built of new pine lumber, and more or less filled with cattle, mules, forage of all kinds, etc. It will be seen that the materials arc of a highly in flammable nature. Had the fire obtained the mastery the whole establishment, valued at $300,000, would have been destroyed. We learn from gentlemen, who were present at the time> that the butchers instituted a rigid search for cny stranger they could find on the ground after the fire had been put out, but lucivily for all on tho ground, none such could be found. Had the infuriated men found any one that might have reasonably been suspected of being the would-be in­cendiary, they would, beyond all question, have been a funeral without unnecessary delay.

A reward of $2000 is off red by the com­pany for information that will lead to the apprehension and conviction of the person who attempted to burn their establishment.

Mr. McCarthy in a >’ew Hole

For many days past there has been nothing stirriDg 5n the Fifth District (Algiers) ex­cept the dust iu the Front street (“profanity avenue”). This monument of the engi­neering talent of the late Parish Syndic, has this advantage, that it will give the in­habitants ample employment with brush and broom, no matter how duil the times, if the slightest breeze is blowing. Yesterday afternoon, however, the residents in the neighborhood of the Public (parish) Hall were refreshed with con­siderable cheap excitement, far better than all the dust iu the city. Jlr. Eugene Mc­Carthy, who has tor many months past borne the same relation to W. J. Chauning that Charles IT bore to Oiiver Cromwell, came iu such state as the support of two HhtrilFa officers could give him, and armed with a writ from the Sixth District Court, took possession of the office of Fifth Justn e of the Peace. No banners waved, no drums were beat, no trumpet blown. There was, though, pienty of blowing that might have put any trumpet to shame.

Some time in October, 1868, Judge Mc­Carthy was suspended from office by a joint resolution of the Legislature. The resolution, which was passed in consequence of a special presentment of the Grand Jury, charging McCarthy with acts of illegal op preseion, required the Governor to appoint a justice pro tem. in place of the suspended functionary, and W. |I. Chamiing was thus appointed. Subsequently Judge McCarthy instituted suit in the Sixth District Court againstJChauning as a usurper, and finally obtained judgment against |him. Channing did not appeal, but resigned the office into the hands of Governor Warmoth.who then appointed J. W. Munday a wel 1 known citizen of A'giers. To enforce the judgment above mentioned Judge McCarthy, with the two Sheriffs officers and the proper writ, made his appearance yesterday in the court of the Fifth J ustice and hence the lively time.

Mr. Munday gracefully yielded to the majestic behests of law. But. the room heretofore ustd as the (Fifth Justice court belongs now to the city of New Orleans under the new charter, and as all the jus­tices are required by law to provide and furnish their own court rooms, *hile, ac­cording to the law which regulated our late Police J ury, that bi-d.y was obliged to furnish the Fifth Justice with a suitable court room “and jail,” it is a mooted point amoug the learned as to what's what. Whether the Fifth Justice on the right bank of tbe river will be a favored exception to all other jus­tices in the city of New Orleans, by having his office furnished free gratis for nothing, or whether, like the rest, he will have to find himeelf. The Algerines anticipate a delight­ful relief from the monotony of dull times by watching the progress and result of the contest, which is, certainly, ‘‘a very pretty quarrel as it stands.”

article second of the above named section) “ to appoint for each ward school district in their parish a board of three school direc­tors.” Upon the prompt anddiscreei action of the parish boards in these respec's the successful profeccutiou of the school work greatly depends.

When a Board of District School Directors are appointed end have accepted, they will at once proceed fo organize by electing, from their own number, a president, a sec­retary and a treasurer, the latter of whom sha i’at once give the bond required b* the la.v (seciion twenty-two, article seven), and furnish a copy of the same to tbe State Su­perintendent iu order that tli^ State school money apportioned to the district may at once be placed in bis keeping.

Among the first duttes to engage the at­tention of the district boards will be the calling toge her the electors of the district, as authorized by section twenty-s-ven' of the school act, lor the purpose ot providing, by tax, the means for securing such school- houses, school furniture, etc., as may be neeessary tor the use of the dia'rict. The State Superintendent, on being notified ot the organization of the board, and their readiness for such meeting, wiii designate (as required by sec'.ion twenty-seven) the time for the meeting of the present year.

Schoois are to be established, school- lions s provided, and teachers employed bv the district, towu or city boards ol school directors. This work can not, except in cases of delinquency, be performed by the parish board. The treasurer of the di-triot, j,own or city board alone is authorized to receive and pay out money for school purposes; hence, until such treasurers are appointed, and a copy of the boiid required Dy law is tiled with ttie State Superintendent, the ap­portionment whicu is now, and those which hereafter will become due to such districts can not be paid.

District directors will bear in mind that all teachers employed by Hu m must possess a certificate signed by either the State or the Division Superintendent., and thabffri’h out such certificate no teacher is entitled to compensation for services rendered. Al! contracts with teachers are to be in writing, and must be signed by the director and teacher, and be approved by the President ot the Board. Blank forms of contract will be furni-hed by the Stale Superintendent, on application.

If is upon the district boards that the responsibility chiefly lies of carrying into efft c’ive operation tiie provisions of the law. Prompt and energetic action is needed, for which kll needed facilities wi 1 he furnished by the educational department of tne S’ate. and it is the detire of the Superintendent of Public Education that as rapidly as possible, through the organization of the respective boards, and the appointment of district treasurers the school funds already appor­tioned may be distributed through the school districts of the State.

The attention of all school directors, whether of cities, towu, parishes or wards, ana of all pub ic school teachers is earnestly invited to the following rule of the State Board of Education, passed April 8, 1870, in compliance with the constitution and law of the State.

“ Rci.e 33.—The !constitution of the State of Louisiana declares th a t‘all children of this State, between the ages of six and twen'y-one years, shall be admitted to the public schools or other institutions of learn­ing sustained or established by the State in common, without distinction of race, color, or previous condition.’ In accordance with this provision every District Board and teacher shall admit any child entitled to ad­mission to any of the public schools estab­lished in any city, parish, ward or town, un­der authority of law.”

This rule must not be evaded by any di­rectors or teachers acting un !er the school law of the State, and division superinten­dents will see to its uniform enforcement.

“I had no agency or connection, directly or indirectly, in her application for or pro­curing a divorce from McFarland in Indiana. She applied to me by letter about a year. I thick, after the separation, for letters of in­troduction to persons in Indianapolis. As it has been my daily practice for years to give letters of introduction to ail-personal friends, and believing her then, as I do now, worthy of such letter of introduction, I sent her two—one addressed to a former col­league in Congress, Hon. A. G. Porter, and another to an old friend, T. P. Hughes. I can not recall the contents of these let­ters, except, I think, I spoke of her as a lady In deep distress, and worthy of es­teem; but, although I supposed, from hav­ing heard her separation from her husband was final, that she went to Indiana to obtain a divorce. I gave no testimony in these let­ters on the subject, as I had no knowledge of my own ab -ut it. and knew it must be decided by the evidence submitted in court when it came in for trial, if such suit ^ a s commenced. Mr. Richardson never asked me tor any letter of introduction in Indiana that I remember. A day or two after the first shooting of Richardson Py McFarland I was pa6sinz through New York.I called at Sinclair’s residence, where Rich­ardson was, to see him. Found Richardson in bed, and apparently in pain. I told him how it saddened me to find him involved in such a matter and suffering the consequence. He replied by asserting that therefcad been nothing criminal iu his relations with Mrs. McFarland. During a part of our conversa­tion, which lasted prubably half an hour, Mre. McFarland was present. She took no part iu the conversation, and was weeping part of the time. In the same conversation Richardson stated to me that if she Ob­tained a divorce from her husband he intended to marry her if she would accept him, as he believed she would make his life a happy one. He did • not ask me to aid in procuring the divorce, j and I supposed from the reference ho made j to Connecticut and its laws, a divorce j would be applied for in that.State by her,

THE LATE HAILItOAB SLAUGHTER

SC E N E S O F T H E D IS A S T E R

R e l a t i o n o f E y e W itn e s s e s .

The St. Louis papers of Friday give ns in­teresting details of the late raiUoad catas­trophe near that city, from wh'.ch we make these extracts! J. P. Jackson, the engineer of the passenger train says :

The train was little over half an hour late at the time of the collision. When we got our orders at Washington, we were instruct­ed that the freight trains going West had thirty-five minutes of our time betweeu lloramec and Franklin. We were about fifty mrnutes late at Washington, behind our car time. We made the run from Wash­ington to Franklin in about thirty minutes. We left Franklin thirty five miuutes behind our car time. Our time there was 4:25,

It was five o’clock when we leit. We ri ached Eureka. There met No. 29 (freight) regular (being then thirty five miuutes late), with flags for extra train west. George Du- Bois, tne conductor, was on my engine when we met No. 29 at Eureka, and asked the conductor of the freight iu regard to thoir time. They claimed to have ody twenty minutes on our time. DuBois came on the engine and told me it was all right— go ahead. We were then about thirty eight miuutes late. We started out very Blow, and e mtihued 60 dowu the decline this side of Eureka.

The conductor was still on the engine with me. About a mde from Eureka, the first I saw of the freight it was coming around the bluff, under full headway, about 1200 or 1500 feet distant. I whistled down, brakes, re­vered the engine instantly, gave her sand, and told the boys—the fireman and conduc­tor—to look out, for there she comes, and jump. 1 jumped from the engine, amoug ?ome new ties, and found myself about thirty feet over a fence, on the right side com mg east.

The collision occurred on a hill about fifteen feet high. I hung to my engine to the iast, thinking she would slacken speed. I could’nt see that the freight shut off steam at ail. The drivers .caugut the sand before 1 jumped, and slipped along. I was terribly stunned, and yet I knew where I was and what had happened. I heard the collision before I had tairly landvd on the ground. I was not running over twelve or fifteen miles an hour at the time. I heard the conductor on the twenty-nine regular tell DuBjis at Eureka that he had only twenty minutes on number four’s time. The twenty-niu8 regular was flagging tile twenty-nine extra,

Mr. Warner, the express messe- 0t.: on the traia, makes this statement: \

The time of the collisior must have been about twfmty-fivc minutes past ive o’clock iu she morning. Wo wi-re about a mile and a quarter this side of Bureka. 1 was in the express car, or baggage and express car, and wasstaediug at about the centre of the car. Thera was also there Mr. Pixley. the conductor that had been running the Pleas ant H:il accommodation train.

There was also with us the bagtrage-mas­ter, Jilin Barry, ai d the porter of the train, the colored boy, George Washington. We losr were all star ding together, and sud­denly there was the short, sharp whistle which means "down brakes.” The porter jumped to the side door and opened it, and looked out, and quickly slammed it to again «nd cried out, “Boys! there’s fun ahead !’’ and then he ran to go out of the rear door. But we thought he was in sport, and paid no attention to him, and were just laugning and lighting cigars as he was springing, when instantly the crash cqme, and everything was smashed. The porter had hardly got the words out of his mouth, and could not haVe reached the rear door, when everything was like a crushed and queezed-up egg.

I went up to the right with the broken up pieces crowding tne, and must have beeu forced fifty or sixty feet down the embank­ment. It seeded as if I stooped three times on the way, and each time I wondered what would happen to me next. The last jerk I first thought had left me in the river, which was near. I found I had slid out ot the wreck just at the steam box and cylinder, and it was pretty wet. I found that Barry was near me, just in the rear, and under the wreck. He had a leg broken, his left hand badly crushed and a serious cut over his eye. Barry and I were squeezed out at the right, and Pixley and the porter to the left, and we were lett alive and the other two were instantly killed; I don’t think either of those two could have lived long enough to know what hurt them. The porter had one of his legs torn off and his head badly mashed. The whole car was just squeezed at once into fragments, and all went out with the flying rubbish. I don’t think there was a piece of the car left as big as your hand

G. W. Smizer, a farmer living near Eu­reka, heard the whistles of the trains, and knew a collision had occurred. He has­tened to the spot, aud for a moment was almost paralyzed by the scene that presented Itself. The two locomotives were crushed to shapeless masses, and had fallen on the south side of the embankment, while most of the cars fell on the opposite side. The groans of the wounded and dying were fear­ful. Men were lying helpless under the ruins of the cars—some with broken legs, some with crushed arms, aud some suffocat- it g from the pressure of the weight upon them. An old man was lying under the edge of the tender, the dead body of his little daughter upon his breast, his wounded son rear by, and a dead man lying across his legs. He begged some one to shoot him aud put him cut of his misery. Captain E. Augustine and a number of his neighbors arrivi d in a short time, and all labored diligently to rescue the wounded from the wreck. The tender, which fastened the old man down, was rolled over, and the sufferer taken out, but he soon died. Several physicians of the neighborhood also arrived, and did ad iu their to relieve the wounded.

A German, lying among the rubbish, called lustly far a doctor, and said bis legs were broken off. He was lifted up, aud then it was found that he had not received a scratch, but was terribly frightened.

Another man was lying on his back, and he, too, wanted a doctor; said he was sure he was killed. He was raised to his feet, and was as sound as a dollar. He had lost oue of his sh-es, and he begged Mr. Bmizer to find his shoe for him. Mr. Bm zer po­litely invited him to go to a certain hot place dowu below.

The accid< nt occurred about a mile and a half east of Euroka, near a point of rocks at a stone houso. Around this point of rocks the road makes a sharp curve, and runs on an embankment about twenty feet high for a distance of half a mile. At this point the road curves very much, and it is impossible fora train to be seen more than a hundred yards ahead.

Mr. G. J. Dubois, t ’ conductor of the express, ou which such a frightful loss of life occurred, states that he received orders to remain thirty a miuutes at Eureka, aud then go ahead. He waited thirty-three minutes and then proceeded as ordered. Fearing that something was wrong, he got upon tne engine in order to keep a look-out
