Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather it proved a decided success, fully one hundred or more of the elite of the Delta being in attendance. The impper was under the management of Mrs. Cornathim and Mrs.

Blum. The "menu" was a surprise, the tables 'ing loaded with the delicacies of.the season, and the cooking would have done credit to the most renowned "chef de cuisine." From the rapidity with which the tables were relieved of their burdens it was evident that everybody gave a hearty endorsement to the culinary as well as artistic talents of "Mes dames" Cornathan and Blum. The surrounding towns gave lustre to the occasion by the brilliant array of grace and beauty by which they were represented. Shaw's station was represented by Misses Florence Hayues, Lucy Woods and the charming "petite" widow, Mrs. F.

W. Cash, and by Messrs. r. a. Woodland, Garnet Hayues, James Bishop and R.

P. and M. L. Walt. The star of Lelaud, Miss Leulah Gusdorfer, graced the occa Bion by her presence, also Messrs, Arnold French, W.

The proceeds of the supper will be donated to the rebuilding of "Bethel Church" which was blown down during the recent cyclone.

The committee begs to render thanks to Mrs. St. John Willis for a liberal contribution and particularly to Mrs. Cornathan and Mrs. Blum who by their untiring efforts and good management rendered success' ful an entertainment long to be remembered by those who had the pleasure to attend.

MAYEK. Agen', 202 Washington Street, mhll-wed-th-eat Bagged at Last. Mayor Trowbridge, yesterday morning, fined Jim Johnson ten dollars for assault and battery, commit ted a month before, on February 6th. Johnson was then at Feeny Cooa- gan's store and threw a brick or stone at the clerk, Martin Chandler, hitting him on the leg. He could not be found until Monday, when the police arrested him.

Gone to Natchez. Counsel for the parties to the street railroad case, which came up before Chancellor Pintard at Natchez yesterday, went by different routes, but doubtless "got there all the same." Major L. W. Magrurter, representing the city, went to Jackson Monday afternoon, intending to take the Li lie train for Natchez, while Mr. Mur ray F.

Smith, representing the Vicks burg Electric street railway, left this city by an early freight yesterday morning, having accidentally missed the morning train. Children In Danger. Three little children, one of them an infant seated in a carriage pro pelled by its nurse, last evening, at the A. 4 V. depot, narrowly escaped being crushed by a sample-case which was falling from a pile then awaiting shipment.

The nurse was looking in another direction and did not see the children's danger, but a passenger did and averted it also, at some cost to himself, as a projecting bit of Iron on the sample case toro his hand severely. JNuraes, It is said, make a common practice of taking their little charges to witness the arrival and departure ol trains on the A. 4 V. railroad, and It is easy to see how Ihe least inattention on their parts might result in i A Furniture Factory and Ways and Means to Secure It. A meeting will be held Thursday, to-morrow, evening at 7:30 o'clock, at the Hotel Piazza to take preliminary steps towards organizing an association for the purpose of raising funds to establish a furniture factory, and the attendance of all citizens who feel Interested in promoting an addition to the number of the city's industries is earnestly solicited.

It is especially desired to secure the cooperation of men of moderate circumstances iu the plan, while as a matter of course the assistance of all is invited. The plan upon which it is aimed to organize the association, subject of course to such modiUcitions as the united wisdom of the assembly may suggest, is that upon which similar associations bave been organized in Alabama and elsewhere, and factories now in successful operation built and equipped. Subscribers to the capital slock will be called upon to pay for the same in weekly or monthly installments, and it is believed that in this manner the necessary capital can be raised in a comparatively brief space of time and without the investment's proving burdensome to any stock-bolder. At the same time it is designed to place each subscriber on th same plane of security for his investment as is found in the most approved building and loan associations. One thousand shares of $50 each or a larger number of smaller amount have been mentioned approvingly by many who take an interest in the proposition, and when the capital stock shall be all paid in, or at an earlier date if this be considered advisable, It is contemplated to make an effort at securing an investment of the like amount from a practical furniture manufacturer.

This has been accomplished at Monroe, in the cshb of a much larger investment, and no doubt is entertained of its feasibility. Ropresentatives of the city's timber manufacturing flrnn and of its furniture dealers have promised to attend the meetii.g, besides many others who bave noted the lack of occupation for young men who would be willing workers were the opportunity afforded them. This scarcity ol employment is severely felt at all timjs, but especially at present, and is regarded with great regret by many i houghtful persons. A furniture factory is preferred over other Industries because of the city's magnificent timber supply aud also for the reason that skilled workmen in that line may be had here, in at least considerable if not sufficient numbers, while in the case of a cotton factory, for instance, ail the operatives mint be brought from a distance, in the beginning at any rate and until raw labor can be trained. Moreover, the success of the large factory established in Memphis, which is turning out large quantities ol cheap and medium grades of furniture and finds great difficulty in keeping ap with its orders, has stimulated the desire for a plant of the kind.

It is a fact, as local furni' ture men bave attested, that the Memphis factory is now shipping furniture to Vicksburg in large lots and supplying a great demand that should be nu at home. Don't Miss It! WHAT O'KEEFE'S Grand Spring Opening: Thursday, Friday and Saturday. CIRCUIT COURT. Sturdlvant Re-Indicted Sam Trouble to Get a Witness. The grand jury returned two in dictmeuts yesterday, one in blank and the other against Burrell Sturdi vant, the negro who is charged with burning a house in the east side of the city, some six months ago.

Will White was fined $35 for as sault and battery. Mturdivant was arraigned, pleaded not guilty and was remanded for trial. The case against Geo.

L. L. Smith, who confessed to being Nails accomplice, is a convict, Papers ordering him to be brought here were sent to Jackson some days ago, but could not be served on the manager of the penitentiary because he was then at Red Lick, in Jeffer son county. Last Monday he re turned to Jackson and the papers were duly served, but it was then am covered that the witness. Smith, was at Red Lick, working for a convict con tractor.

O'Keefe's Easter opening, an event for which the ladies have been look ing for weeks, begins to-morrow morning and will continue throughout the week.

Many special bargains will be offered and do one can afford to miss this three days' revel among the choicest and richest products of foreign and domestic artistic taste and genius.

It simply referred to the fact that they had said as much in a general way and outside of the court. If in Search Of MEN'S and BOYS' CLOTHING, call on us.

WARNER SBARLE8CO. A Much Naeded Line. It is reported that the Fifth Louisiana levee boaid has referred to a committee the matter of contracting for the construction of a telephone line along its entire levee system, and that a favorable report is anticipated. The need for such a line is sufficiently evident to require no further demonstration. The experience of the levee authorities in this State has been such that it is doubtful whether they would dispense with telephone service on any consideration whatever.

The fact that the contract on this side has been renewed for six years peaks volumes in favor of this great modern convenience, as applied to levee systems. The Louisiana levee board meets on the 17th instant and will doubtless take up and dispose of this matter.

Fredicksburg Star. A design, beautiful in its simplicity and solidity, as best comports with the character of Mary Washington, has been approved by the association. "She was an unassuming, unpretentious Virginia housewife, said Mrs. Roger A. Pryor, receutly, "and it has been deemed inadvisable to erect an elaborate memorial." The erection of a plain monolith, forty feet in height has been determined upon.

Ai the monument will stand on high ground, It will be imposing. The material will be Barre (Vt.) granite and the work will be executed by the firm of John Crawford Sons, of Buffalo, N. Y. The design of the monument selected by the National Association is now to be. seen at Adams' book store, in this city, and has been approved by the majority of the Fredericksburg Association.

It is hoped that the work will soon be commenced and we are informed by the secretary of the association here that no trouble is apprehended in securing the necessary endowment fund.
