A Sad Accident. hite Rose, wife of White Bull, a chief of the Iroquois tribe, traveling with Bovrten s Wild West Show, was kibed at the Fair Grounds Thursday morning about eleven o'clock. A race was on and her horse, going at a rapid cait, swerved from his course to go through one of the openings in the railing around the course, she check ed him too suddenly and losing her balance was hurled against a post. Mood gushed from her nose and mouth, and never speaking, she was dead in half an hour. She was about 23 years of age. This death calls attention to the necessity for a continuous fence around the race course. Fach of the openings arc temptation to a horse to leave the track and endanger the life of the rider or driver. Ilerwlck Inde pendent.

The news from every section of Louisianua stricken by the storm makes it safe to estimate the loss of life at fully 2,000, while millions of dollars' worth of property was destroy ed. Besides that, thousands of peo ple have been deprived of means of making a livelihood. The situation is appalling, but New Orleans is doing all it can to relieve the thousands in want. Dr. Story, Coroner of Plaquemine parish, has made the following report: "A good many carloads of provis ions and clothing have been sent, but not near enough. Men, women and children are without food and clothing. They have become so desperate that they have threatened to attack the stores and steal food. Single graves for the dead were impossible. Great trenches were dug and bodies were piled in one on top of the other. "I do not think I exaggerate the facts when I state that at least 2,500 souls were ushered into eternity by the recent storm in Louisiana. I never saw bodies decompose so rapidly as those of the storm-sufferers which were viewed by me. This was due to the fact that the fish and crabs in the bayous eat the remains. I believe firmly that the marshes and other places are filled with human forms. "Theie can be no doubt of the fact that this is conducive to an epidemic of fever, or even cholera. If one case of the latter disease should develop it would spread through the country like wildfire, but nothing can be done to prevent this." The relief party which set out from Biloxi tells an awful story of the desti tution and loss of life in the Louisiana marshes. The marshes are filled with dead and putrefying bodies, in very few cases the corpses being recogniza ble. The number of lives lost on those marshes will never be known. The territory covered was a distance of 200 miles. The only sign of life seen in the marsh was one raccoon and it was floating on a log. Captain Julian Lefort, the leading spirit among the survivors of the Cheniere Camanada, places the num ber of saved at 300. The population of the island and the bayous immedi ately connected with it was slight! v more than 1,500. He says the is land will be abandoned as a habita tion of man. Grand Isle and Chem deleur will also be abandoned. JOHN B. TOWHSIHft CORNER OF MARKET AND MAIN STREET, BL.OOMSBTJRG.
