Gradually the details of the cold wave which swept over the orange country a few days ago are being received by the owners of groves In this city. On last Tuesday evening, the cold weather arrived at Buras, a point some sixty miles below the city, aud that night 2iS degrees were registered. Wednesday morning at 7 o'clock, It was 4 degrees warmer and gradually It ran as high as 36, but next morning the thermometer had gone down to 28 again. Tills lasted until Thursday morning, wtoen It gradually become warmer, and by noon It was 48 degrees. The very warm weather during the two preceding weeks caused some of the trees away down near the gulf to bud, and Judging from this new growth, as it appears now, the crop Is damaged very extensively.

The prospects for the next year's crop are not very bright, and It is estimated tha there will be about 50 per cent of the oranges killed In the bud. Exactly what damage will be done to the trees themselves Is not known as yet. It will require fully a week's time In which to estimate this, for the effects of the cold are just beginning to show themselves. Many of the small trees are expected to die from the freeze, but no very extensive damage Is looked for among the older trees. One place where the owner planted California orange trees simply for the flowers, will secure about 25 crates of salable blossoms, out of a possible 200.

The owners are now taking every step to restore health to the Injured fruit trees, and they hove to save manr of the damaged plants. If vou smflrer fram Immdmi of boweia. Dr. Slegert's Angostura Bitters will core you. Be sure you get Dr.

nthsam DDGGAN'S COURT METHODS ATTACKED, The District Attorney's Offioe Claiming the Sight To Call Cases in the Order It Deems Best Is the Interests of Justice, Which the Judge Denies. Some or the -Matters Which Hare Led to the Clash of Authority. Yesterday Judge Baker ordered a rule taken against Judge Duggan by Assistant District Attorn Generelly. The following Is a copy of the rule: "Joseph E. Generelly vs.

T. J. Duggan, Judge To the Judges of the Criminal District Court for the Parish of Orleans. The petition of the state of Louisiana In relation of Joseph E. Generelly, assistant district attorney for the parish of Orleans, with respect represents that Is the duly accredited representative of the state of Louisiana, and as sueh claims the right to call the cases In which the state Is Interested In the order in which he deems it advisable to the ends of Justice.

"That T. J. Duggan, judge of the first city criminal court for the parish of Orleans, denies relator said right. That this honorable court has supervisory jurisdiction over the city criminal court, and in the exercise of said jurisdiction has the "ight to determine the question at issue. Wherefore, relator prays that the said T.

J. Duggan, judge, be ordered to show cause on the day of 1899, why Joseph E. Generelly should not conduct prosecutions In the name of the state In the order In which said prosecuting officer aeems advisable to the ends of justice." Judge Duggan. hearing of the rule, sent In to obtain a copT of the rule, and Minute Clerk Flotte accommodated him by sending uie original to the city criminal court. When the copies had been made Judge Duggan sent the papers back with the message to Mr.

Flotte that he would not accept the service of the papers. Minute Clerk Flotte had not asked htm to do so, but only lent him the papers as an accommodation. Up to a few days ago Assistant District Attorney Gill represented the state In Judge Duggan's court and had done so ever since the court opened. The rulings of Judge Duggan were remarkably mild, and not always In keeping with the generally accepted views and Ideas of those well versed In criminal law. lie was prone to place very light punishment upon heavy crimes, and In cases where bond was required to Insure the appearance of culprit or criminal, the amount was ridiculously small.

Yesterday morning only three" cases were up for arraignmentDaniel Warfleld, for petty larceny, a possible penitentiary offense; Richard Cannon, for breaking and entering and petty larceny, unquestionably a penitentiary offense, and Mary Butler, assault and battery, simply a misdemeanor. The parties pleaded not guilty and were placed under bonds, Warfleld $50, Cannon $100 and the woman under $250 bonds. The charge against Warfleld was stealing three pairs of shoes, and the Judge predicated the amount of the bond asked upon the value of the articles stolon. A similar rule was followed In the case of Cannon, who was charged with smashing a show case and stealing some trifling articles, but if he were convicted he would necessarily (under the law) be sent to the penitentiary. Another grievance against Judge Duggan Is that he fixes cases to suit his own convenience, irrespective of the wishes or convenience of the prosecuting officer, and Is waverlnsr and weak in his decisions, and procrastinating.

Cases coming up before him on trial are taken under advisement, and when decided, are practically lost sight of. When the officers of the criminal court asked for papers or records they were either refused or told that the Judge had them in his pos- eWhen Mr. Generelly was transferred from Judge Otero's court last Wednesday he at once set about prosecuting cases with his usual vigor and zeal, but found a stumbling block In his way In the fixing of Important cases. The Judge abrogated' to hlmVelf the right t0 fix cases and tne asiusiuv thought the district attorney office, be-lne the prosecutor, had a say In the matter, and this was the reason the rule was taken yesterday.

Post, commander, and P. M. Mldboe, mate, of the Cromwell Liner Knickerbocker, were placed on trial yesterday forenoon, charged with manslaughter. The indictment, found In last and amended Jan. 2o.

3 WW, recltea that on the 6th of r.ovember, 1898, the mate caused the death, by drowning, of "a certain unknowu person," and that the captain aided and abetted In the deed. The particulars of the affair were published some time since, and were to the effect that L. Tcuche, said to have been a resident of St. Tammany parish, La a laborer, stowed himself away on board the Knickerbocker on her trip from New York Nov. 5, and thit while the vessel was on the high sea, on the morning of the 6th he was discovered by the mate, Mldboe, and was ordered to on deck; that the captain permitted the mate to ill-treat Teuche, by shoving him up the ladder and compelling him to work on the top deck; that Teuche was very 111 and nervous from sea-sickness, and notwithstanding his condition and hl3 pleas for mercy, he was kicked and cursed by Mldboe, and finally In a fit of frenzy and despair he either lumped overboard or fell overboard.

To this indictment the defendants, through their attorney. Chandler C. Luzenberg, filed a demurrer of Insufficiency and want of clearness. Insofar as to prove that the death was caused by the direct act of said defendants. This demurrer was argued yesterday and was overruled, and the court ordered the accused to go to trial.

The government was lepresented by District Attorney J. Ward Gurley and Assistant District Attorney D. C. Mel-len. The following jury was Impaneled: Charles J.

In his own behalf, that he had ordered Teuche to be put to work, because this was the customary treatment of stowaways and he had no Idea that the man was sick, or that he was so desperately ill that he would jump overteoard. Mate Mldboe also testified In bis own behalf. He denied having Ill-treated Teuche, and said that he put the man to work by order of the captain. He did not think that Teuche was sick, and believed the man was shamming sickness. This closed the evidence, and as the hour was late.

Judge Boarman ordered a recess until to-morrow at 10 o'clock. The Jury retired to a room In the third story of the custom-house, and tho were allowed to leave the courtroom. Criminal District Court. Section A Judge J. G.

The Boston Times of last Sunday does a grave Injustice to one of the ablest of American Journalists and authors when It says: "Mr. James Jeffrey Roche, editor of the Boston Pilot, is telling a literary story In which Richard Harding Davis, an English publisher, and himself are concerned that is worth repeating. Mr. Roche received a letter from Mr. Davis, eight or nine pages long, with a string to It, and the point of whlcb may be summed np In a few words.

Richard wrote that he bad been thinking for a. time of getting up a book about Nicaragua, and while hunting around for material be came on a work by Mr. Roche that was -published several years back and was now almost ont of print. This volume contained much matter that Davis needed, and he would be greatly obliged If the editor of the Pilot would give him permission to 'cull' from Its many As a matter of truth, -the only foundation for this story lies In the fact that Mr. Davis, with a generosity rare in most people and none too common in literary folk, wrote a gracious letter to the author of the book- In question, bestowing upon It the most lavish praise, and so far from asking leave to "coll' from its pages, saying that It "had done for all time" that which be had contemplated doing.

That is the whole story. Richard Jlardlnr Davis is not a man who needs to "cull" from anybody's garden. He has a rich garden of bis own. with very few competing gardeners. As for the book referred to.

Its author would sooner see It rot in oblivion, than hare it for one moment used to depreciate the fame of such a -man of tme genius and manly honor as Mr. Dart always la. Boston i -Y- BRE VKfPAST. Scrambled Eggs. Broiled Ham.

Patty-Panned Oysters. Cut thin slices of stale bread to fit the bottoms of five patty-pans.

Toast them a delicate brown and butter on both sides. Place tbem In the pans and moisten with two tablespoonfuls of the liquor drained from a pint of raw oysters. Divide the oysters Into five equal portions; place a portion on each piece of toast and sprinkle with pepper; also dot with butter, j'luce the pans In a baking pan, cover closely to keep In the steam and flavor, and bake eight minutes until "ruffled" in a hot oven. Remove the cover, sprinkle with salt and bake one minute longer. Serve at once In the patty-pans.

This Is delicious. DAILY FASHION HINT. Aa Shoulders Will Be Finished. Many of the new spring cloth gowns of the dressy type will have dainty little capes or shoulder mantles to match. These incline to fanclfulness that Is calculated to bring Into attractive contrast the simplicity of outline followed by the dress Itself.

A shoulder cape to go with a cloth gown of delicate lilac cloth Is of lilac cloth cut Into panels that separate to show many folds of gray chiffon lining, which Is mounted on silk of the softest apple-green. That means exquisite harmony of color, but the design would be effective in simpler colors. Black over purple, the purple chiffon mounted on dark-blue, would be good, for instance. On other spring suits the shoulder finish Is attached to the bodice itself. In the example presented by this picture It came in a sailor collar appllqued with ecru linen embroidery.

The goods was sage-green cashmere, both bodice and skirt having a narrow panel of the embroidery. Three folds of black satin topped the sleeves, two more trimmed the cuSs, another headed the skirt flounce, and black satin ribbon furnished a belt that closed with a silver buckle. Straw hats were offered very early this season. One model already in view Is a big rough straw with wide straight brim and crown concaved to allow of many folds of scarfing, the convexity not being noticeable when the folds are laid. Black chiffon scarfing and great black feather pompons or immense black popples with yellow centers are the trimming.

The straw Is either black, mushroom-yellow, or the new dull smoky-gray. It looks as If toques would be less worn than In the fall. Big hats, either of tailor severity or delightfully fluffy, are contrasted with "walking-shape" effects scarfed in new ways In the millinery shown so far. 'Daagkters of the Confederacy. There was a meeting of the New Orleans Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy at Memorial Hall yesterday afternoon, at which Mas.

T. G. Fre-ret presided. The matter of enterta-nlng the delegate to the convention to be held on the 17th was discussed. Mrs.

J. Plnckney Smith said that the committee had not decided on any hall for reception. Mr. Blakely had said that. If possible, be would be glad to give the hall at the hotel, but It was" engaged for the cotton convention, of the postponement of which he had not been informed.

She thought a reception to the president of the national organization ought to be given and the women's organisations to be invited. She suggested the desirability of getting the Confederate Memorial Hall, but said the board in control objected to music If there waa anything to pay they would rather pay It at the Memorial HalL The executive session Is to be held at the ball, and she thought the reception ought to be held there. Some of the ladles found Colonel Chala-ron, and he said "certainly you can have it, and I see no objection to the piano and violin." Mrs. Dickson, who made the report, said she would try to have, some lemon-, ade and cake. This consummation delighted the ladies, and Mrs.

Dickson was sent back to find ont about the refreshments. She reported that Colonel Chala ron thought it might bo arranged and he would find out at once about that and report, so that the chairman of the refreshment committee could make the The convention win meet on Friday, the lTth, at 2 o'clock.

Summer Girl of The summer girl of '99 will wear ribbons, bows, sashes, belts and ties of such variety as she probably never bad before. One pretty ribbon which has Just come to stay over the summer has a very close flower design running right down the middle. Ribbons with an occasional stripe bayadere in brocade are to be in vogue also.

A pretty and odd variety is the black and white marbled ribbon. The ribbon with polka dots at such wide intervals that one has to search for tbem sonr etlmes is also the thing. Velvet sashes don't sound very cool, but we must make up our minds that we are going to wear them, anyhow. Millinery Prophecies. Some of the names of the most effective braids that will be used In fash'onlng spring hats are "Cuba," "Japanese," "Jumbo" and "Italian." What is called gold straw, though not gilt, has been woven into many fantastic shapes.

It is, however, the well-known yellow straw that was so much in vogue several neasons ago. Lace-edged veils, it Is said, will be the favorites next season, which promises to give particular attention to novel effects in On the spring hats foliage will be lavish ly used, ad as far as possible it will be a reproduction of nature's work, even to worm-eaten and mildewed leaves. The modest veil will bold a high place In the millinery world, as will also roses of many petals and brilliant colors. Veiling in all its varied styles will be utilized for rolls, twists snd graceful drapings on hats, and, although a perishable and expensive trimming, will have many admirers. Stimulant for the Hair.

A good stimulant for the hair, says the Gentlewoman, Is made thus: Bav rum. 1 pint: tincture cantharides. 1 drachm; castor oil, 1 ounce; resorcln, 1 drachm. Rub well Into the roots of the hair two or three times a week. This costs about 60 cents.

It will be mad presentable by Saturday night. Pedestrians on that thoroughfare early yesterday began to note the changes that were taking place and were congratulating themselves that the bad conditions there would be mitigated to some extent, but the average person did not know who was responsible for it.

It will be remembered that the council passed an appropriation of 1000 for the purpose of cleaning the streets, but they could not find the money to make tt available, and then the gentlemen who were particularly interested in getting the street in shape were in a sad quandary. Superintendent Frank Mullen, of the National Contracting Company, which has had possession of the lower -side of Canal street for a good while, was sent for, and after inspecting the street and pointing out to him what it was necessary to do. he readily consented to do It. iie said that bis company would cheerfully do everything possible to get the street in shape, and when bad spots were pointed out he told what he would do to remedy them. He said that It would take 800 or 400 loads of 'cinders to level off Canal street, but they would be laid without delay, and already the street, where week ago It presented an ungainly appearance, looks half-way respectable.

Mr. Mullen agreed to have the roller pass over the cinders at 10 o'clock Monday and Tuesday mornings, and at 4 o'clock Monday and Tuesday afternoons, in order to make them more compact for the passage of the parades. The little narrow gauge road which runs along the edge of the neutral ground, and covers the deep ditch, has been transformed into a useful platform for the benefit of sightseers, ss planks have been put down along the entire length of the track. In order to protect the formation of the parades and to keep the public from being pushed off the platform Mr. Mullen has agreed 1 to put a rope railing on the edge of the platform and station a man at the street intersections.

So those who have feared that the trt would not be readv will bo aneev ably surprised. Cos tar's Rat and Roach PaatO kills rats, mice, roaches. Old reliable TO years tried. All druggists.
