Two or them were In the Simon pasture and another was hanging on a tree on some road near a church. He endeavored by every means In his power, on that day, to icet seme information respecting the lynchers but failed.

Kiverybody seemed to be In perfect Ignorance of the naue of the parties who participated In the Witness does not know Mr. Long. Met him only once, and tbat was at the charity hospital the night be was bot. Did not peak to him on the subject of tne lynching. Did not see him that night.

Thos. O. Harris, reporter of the Dairy States: Does not know anything about the lynching proper. Came up to the istoplnal place on the night of the lynching. Saw a white covered wagon coming down the road.

Asked the men in the wagon what they had learned, but they made no reply. Was then a few feet above Judge Estopinal's residence. Witness was in a buggy. He followed the wagon and when it reached the Estopinal place the men In the vehicle descended and began patrolling the road. It was about 10:20 o'clock p.

m. Stopped at the Kstopinal place, and. some one who was on guard duty there Informed him that be would not be allowed to stop. Witness said that he had no personal Interest In the affair, but was tnere as a reporter, to get the news for his paper. He then asked if there would be any lynching that night.

The answer was in the negative, but that there were rumors that nothing would be done that night. Witness asked the party lf he was sure of that, and the repiy was 'Yes." Witness then returned to tne city, on his way down, when in Carrol Iton, he beard that It was the Intention of the regulators to burn a man. Then witness went to the office of the States and wrote his report. Witness Interviewed, at Kenner. Judze Loner, on the Tuesday following the lynching Doe not remember the interview.

It was published in the States. Witness was shown a rorvc of thA States, and Identified the article written by him, especially that part stating that some of the most prominent men In Jefferson were among those who strung the negroes up. Judjre Long denied to the reporter that hoodlum from Rrotnn brt done the lynching. The judge mentioned Senator Marrero and J. C.

Tlllotson, (clerk of the court), as having been among the lynchers. Did not JnriirA tm on the night of the affair. Witness did not Know anything else relative to the lynehirig. Judsre J. H.

Lone mild that ha la rol. dent of the parish of Jefferson. Is state assessor. Does not know anything about the lynching. Does not know, except from heresay, about the killing of Judge Estopinal.

Saw the Judge laid out when the coroner was holding hia Inn nest. There were about fifty men in the yard. ne asKeu wnicn way Julian, the murderer, went, and if anv narties had followed him or tried to capture him. He was answered "No." He asked If they were going to stay there, Idle, and let him escape. No one seemed tn know nhnt to do.

He called for volunteers to get their guns and try to help In the capture. He sent some men out on the protection levee to capture the murderer in case he should come out and trv to enter New Orleans. He took a posse himself, and went out in the swainns In search of Julian. He kept un the search from Fri day, the day of the killing, until about 7:30 p. in.

on Saturday evening, when he went home to rest. itness heard that the three brother of Julian were arrested. He also heard that Julian mother and two clrls were In Jail. Witness does not know positively by whom they were arrested. Does not know what charge was male against them.

They were placed In the temporary lockup at the fifth Justice of the peace, uoes not know anything about the lynching. Did not see the parties who were lynched. Itaess was the organizer of the narrol or posse that was formed to arrest Julian. jjoes not Knirw or anybody who was engaged in the lynching. In organising the DOSSe witness fiwit jvcrt.

body who would volunteer. He made no selection. Air. Ferkins offered to come with them, but he declined the tender, as Mr. Perkins is an ol.l man and he would not ask him to go through the swamps.

Witness was interviewed by a States reporter about the lynching. The reporter came to him one evening at home and asked for an Interview. Witness told him that he did not want his name In print. The reporter remained at th depot. He saw the reporter again.

bDOke to him about dtffpronr. thintr but never said a word about the lynching, nor mentioned anv names. Titrl not mention either Senator Marrero or Mr. Tlllotson as having participated in lhe affair. As a good citizen, witness would, if It lay in his power, aid the state to discover the parries who were concerned in the lynching.

He really does not know anything a boat it. When witness talked with the reporter of the States, Mr. Paul Felix and Mr. Wright, Mr. Murphy and others were resent.

witness said that the reporter ad been drinking. air. aul Felix testified that he was present when Judge Long and the States reporter were talking together at the depot. The reporter did not appear to be very sober. Judge Long did not speak at all about the lynching.

He did not mention either Mr Marrero's or Mr. Tillot son's name. Witness does not know anv body that was concerned in the lynching. iux. iiuain aiurpny, resident of Kenner.

a truck farmer. wirrnh. orated Mr. Felix's testlmonv. Mr.

Long had very little to sav. Most nf the conversation was carried on between the reporter ana an engineer. Witness could not say that the reporter was intoxicated, because he was able to walk. Mr. K.

E. Wright, telegraph operator at Kenner. gave evidence in substance like tne testimony or the two preceding witnesses. Mr. Thos.

O. narris testified In rebnttnl that he was at the Illinois Central Depot at 5 o'clock and there met General Leon Jastremskl and conversed with him. He can testify that witness was not then under the influence of liouor. General Jastremski's brother was on the and he also could testify that witness was sooer Jienner was reached. Witness swears that during the evening of his stay at Kenner he took but two or three drinks, not sufficient to intoxicate a man accustomed to drinking.

The next morning I took several glasses of beer. Left Kenner about 9:30 a. m. and reached Shrewsbury about twenty minutes later. He ran prove by Messrs.

Hoppe and who kept a store at that place that he was not intoxicated when he landed in Shrewsbury. After leaving Shrewsbury he journeyed through the parish of Jefferson and reached his office at 12:30 clock. There were several people In the office who enn testiy to the fact that he was not intoxicated. Messrs. j.

Walker Ross. Robert Ewing. Frank Fitch and W. E. Arms were present.

Palmisano, barkeeper at Kenner, testlfiel that the States reporter came into his barroom during the evening with Judge Long and the telegraph operator. They took a drink. The next morning he tooK several annKs or Deer. The district attorney here stated that the investigation was at an end, insofar as the state was concerned. The court or Inquiry then adjourned sine die.

Justice Towner opened court as first Justice of the peace to receive an affidavit, sworn to by Constable Koerber. against Mr. Thomas O. Harris for carrying a concealed weanon. Mr.

Harris was arrested on the public road at Southport while on his way to the city after having testified. He was released on $100 bonds to appear on Nov. 10. Judge J. H.

Long signed as security. While the Investigation was in progress two young men, strangers, entered the yard of the Estopinal place and began to look rbout in an inquisitive way. They approached several people and made casual inquiries about the killing of Judge Estopinal and the lynching of the three negroes. Then they asked lf Julian had been caught, and on being told that he was still at large they entered the courtroom and beckoned to Sheriff Langrldge anl District Attorney Leche, who Joined thorn. A long and earnest conversation ensuad.

When the talk was concluded the young men disappeared as quickly as they had come. It was ascertained that the strangers were making inquiries about the reward offered for Julian's capture. They thought that if a large reward was pledged that the murderer would be caught. The parties declined either to give their names or to say whence they came, but they hinted that they were from the vicinity of Covington. This lends color to the belief that Julian Is hidden in some of the places across the lake, and bears out the article published in the Picayune yesterday about bis having been seen In the neighborhood ot Mandeville.

District Attorney Leche intends to let the grand Jury of Jefferson parish take charge of the lynching investigation. His inquiry has not amounted to anything and he realizes the nselessness of further examination. The district attorney will return to St. John parish to morrow morning. He will prepare a report for the governor relative to the result of the investigation.

The Track of the Storm on St. Charles And Other Thoroughfares in the Up per Districts. Many Valuable Plants and Trees Suf fer and Fences Fall, But the Only Serious Casualty Is the Blowing Down of a Colored Church in'Carrollton. 4 The storm confided Its havoc to no particular portion of the city. It wreaked a spiteful hurt to beautiful gardens, it cast down fences, and It threw to the ground ambitious and wide spreading trees.

No tree was without signs of the disaster. Immense scars marked the places where trees bad stood, twisted and torn fences, and yards strewn With wreckage were on every side. In some cases the falling trees were cast across the tracks of the street railways, and until a passage had been hewn through them traffic was stopped. The Prytania lino was a marked sufferer from this cause. A gigantic tree covered the track at daybreak yesterday at the corner of Euterpe and Prytania, which had to be Mtroyed with axes before the cars could pass.

Again at the corner of Jackson, the cars were impeded by a similar trouble, and passage along the line was slow and Irksome. It would be impossible to give a list of the damages done by the storm uptown, but a few Instances are given of the work of the wind along the principal thoroughfares. The board fence between 395 and 303 St. Charles avenue was blown down for a distance of thirty feet. A large oak in the yard of the Whitney residence on St.

Charles and Philip was shattered and only a few feet of the trunk left standing, in the garden of the Farrar home, corner of Jackson, a large shade tree was broken into fragments, and cast all over the place. One of the grove of trees at Carondelet and Second was blown ddwn, notwithstanding Its mature age and its forty feet of strongs green boughs. All along Baron ne street, from Felicity to Seventh, trees were down; and the many small but pretty gardens of that locality were nearly ruined by the violent winds. The large arbor, covered with vines, in the garden of the Keely Cure Institute; on Jackson avenue, was demolished and the plants more or less ruined. The residence corner of St.

Mary and Carondelet lost the board fence sheltering It from the street The partlon fence be between the homes of Mr. W. 8. Parkerson and Mrs. Brown, on Fourth, between Prytania and St Charles, was torn down.

One of the side fences of the Dameron residence, on St. Charles and Conery, shared the same fate. The Toledano street fence of the Bowling residence, on St. Charles avenue, was not thrown to the ground, but it was torn and twisted into most fantastic shapes, and rendered useless. The board fence of the residence at the northeast corner of Baronne and Marengo Btreeta was destroyed.

The fences for a half a block on the west side of Baronne, between Marengo and Milan were thrown down, together with two trees With which they were connected. The large tree which for years has marked the corner of Carondelet and Jena will no longer give a protecting shade to promenaders along that nourishing street. The residences No. 271 Valence street and 1015 Carondelet street lost their side fences. A superb magnolia tree In the garden of the residence corner of Carondelet and Du fossat was splintered by the storm.

The handsome residence corner of St. Charles and Peters avenues lost the board fence on the side. The heavy pickets of the fences of the residence corner of Nashville and St. Charles were torn off and blown away. Rosa Park, Just beyond, suffered severely.

It Is almost open territory there, and the wind had fie sway. In consequence the lumbering old fences which have divided off the place for many years past, were thrown down, and' only the front section was left intact. In the garden of the palatial home of Mr. Peter Hell wege lies on the ground a magnificent Mexican cactus, which formerly guarded the front gate and reared its needled arms to tle height of 20 feet or more. The side fence of tbe residence on Elonore and the avenne was gently spread along the sidewalk.

The Onorato house and its luxuriant garden appeared to have sustained little harm. The south fence was twisted and nearly ready to fall, but the conservatories, and the many large and expensive palms in the place were all intact. The magnificent oaks In Audubon Park again proved their might superior to that of the storms, and not one fell before the onslaught of Sunday night. Many were bereft of branches, but only one tree, an Inferior shade tree in the south end section, was torn up the roors. But the winds played sad havoc with the oaks In the" yard of the Ey beyond the park.

Two giant trees were blown down, and in falling both sprawled across the delicate iron fence in front. of the property, breaking and distorting the iron rods into a mass of wreckage. The fence3 of tbe dwellings corner of Hillary and St. Charles are built after a countrified plan, being coarse staves closely tacked to a girder. These fnces at both the upper corners were scattered over the yards.

The lower fence of the Picayune saw mill was damaged in a similar manner. la Carroll ton trees were blown down with impunity: several chimneys were blown down, together with the roofs xif one or two outlying, shanties. Some damage to structures In Jefferson parish was reported in Carroll ton. The Colored Mission church, corner of Burdette and Plum streets, in Carrollton. an unimportant one room building, was blown down, but 1 no one was injured.

No damage was done along the river at Carrollton. and but little beyond the prostrating of trees In the open territory bounded by the river and the exposition grounds. The residence corner of Pitt and Constantinople streets lost Its side fence, as did the vacant lot on Prytania. between General Taylor and Constantinople. The fence of the yard corner of Antonlne and Prytania was blown down, while the heaw board fence marking the southern boundary of the yard of the Home for the Aged, the Asylnm of the Little Sisters of the Poor, was demolished in part, about 20 feet of it being cast down.

McLKmogb. place, one of the beauty spots of the garden district, suffered badly. The recently planted trees weathered the storm, but every one of them lost branches, and the energetic commissioners vesterday had them all trimmed in or der to save the lives of the young trees. Trees rront or xne vjpttranx resiaence, on Seventh and Prytania, and the dwelling on block lower were torn up by the roots. The Richardson garden, corner of Second and Prytania, withstood the storm without mishap, not one of the delicate palms or giant cacti being humbled to the ground.

Tbe partition fence between the residences of the late Dr. Logan and Mrs. K. D. Blake was blown down.

Amagnificent palm, one of the ornaments in the garden of the Henderson home, corner of Prytania and Sixth, was thrown down. The fence between 196 and 198 Prytania street was thrown over. The fence separating the residence of Mrs. Cohen, on Magazine and Orange, irom the street was blown down, causing considerable damage. Coliseum place suffered but lltfie.

The trees there are mostly mature ones, and only their branches were hurt. However, along tbe sides of tbe new culvert have been planted a number of young oaks, and half a doen of these succumbed to the forces of the air. but can be replanted. Margaret place, with its fragile plants and handsome palms, suffered not at ail. If any apprehensions of danger still exist in connection with the tower of St Paul's cburch they must be now dissipated.

The wind bore directly upon the great tower, blowing against It in the di rection ex tne eamce a supposed weajc a HmM fitmdiT night that farM must have been terrific, tout not a Jar, not a waver, and not the ign or a crack. A 1 annvAM absktrt thA atrajHitMb The fence around, the vacant lot at tire iwAIAa a nit Tt.mnTi curuvr vx unv was blown The fences" roand the Richardson ouiiaing, on janai street were also materially damaged the storm. v.t by OS THE CAR UJTES. Ifo Serloma Damase Elxeept West End. ait The damage along the lines of the street railways was not of any serious consequence, although all the lines were delayed to some extent by falling limbs and trees during Sunday night Littell, of the Electric Trac tion Company, stated to the reporter for the Picayune yesterday that the Mamage to the property of the company which he represents was not great, except at West End.

The tracks were washed to some extent and many limbs had to be removed Sunday night In order to. keep the cars' running. At the West End the company lost heavily by the washing away of the filling along the lake front. The damage to the lake front Mr. Littell calculated to be about iwo.ouo.

The water was still at work increasing the injury ail the time. The company had also lost considerably by the destruction of trees and flowers at West End. The report of Sunday night that the Poland street carsheds had been blown down and several cars destroyed, Mr. Littell stated was incorrect. Superintendent Halle, of the Carrollton Electric oaa.

was seen in his office at Carrollton. He stated that the only In Jury to that line was on Sunday. At 11:30 Sunday a delay of thirty minutes was caused by a broken wire at the corner of Jackson avenue and St Charles street and at 2 o'clock a wire broke at Sixth street Causing another delay. Mr. Halle was out until 12 o'clock Sunday night watching the running of the cars, and although at times their track lay through water several Inches deep, they ran beautifully THE LOWER DISTRICTS.

The Flav at the Barracks Leveled. Vegetables Destroyed. The damage at the lower end of the city was not very great Many' wooden fences were thrown down, and trees were Injured. The flagpole at the United States barracks was blown flat on the ground, and during the day the stars and stripes floated no longer above the old, white, tall pillared buildings. Some twenty live of the trees at the barracks were blown down.

The telephone and telegraph wires at the stock yards were broken, and communication with the city was difficult yesterday. People who came In from the gardens below the city stated tbat plants were badly damaged by the rain and wind. The gardener from Dr. Bonzano'a place stated that of 4O.000 cabbage plants which he had growing fully three fourths were washed out and ruined. He had no plants with which to replace them.

When ho removed to Birmingham to take charge ot the affairs of his company, says the New South, the outlook was anything but pleasing; the infant city had scarcely 2500 Inhabitants. It was nothing more than a crossing of two railroads. There was not a single furnace or rolling mill; one bank with a limited capital, and plenty of nothing save mnd and dust The stock of his company was selling for about $15 a share.

It was largely In debt, suits pending against it, and its credit gone. The new president took the reins In his hands. He had courage, boldness, unconquerable energy and unlimited faith in tbe future of the city. In a short time he rescued his company from financial embarass ment and commenced that magnificent career of development that has multiplied railroads, furnaces, rolling mills and other manufactories, that now scna up tneir undying fires to illuminate the mountain tops, and that has made Birmingham the wonder and the admiration of the coun tIFrom $15 per share, under his management the stock of the company has advanced to si2oO per share. Instead, of two railroads, scarcely paying running expenses, the city has, now built, or about to be completed, lines radiating in eleven riirwHnna.

and onenlnr. ud an ever in creasing business tor the miner, the manu facturer ana tne mercnant. roui mcic country railroad crossing, Birmingham will shortly be the finest distributing point in the south. Dcrlng all this time Dr. Caldwell's sagacious mind has been tn advance of the wonderful development, going on.

Less than two years since he conceived the idea of establishing park and creating a lake In the highlands, and connecting it with the city by a street car line. To him, to conceive la to exedute. While he was building. he most progressive of his neighbors thought he was far ahead of the time and that it would require years to get expenses on the Investment. To day the completed railroad, winding stt miles though the valley and highlands, hugging mountain and plain, ehadea by the virgin forest ami refreshed with mountain springs and streams, to the park and like, is the grandest thins in the south.

This railroad and lake and blooming park, with Its electric lights and hotel and mineral water. Is the lungs of Birmingham. It Is to day paying a magnificent return in money on the investment and is and will be an everlasting monument to the genius and forethought and sagacity of its founder. In Dr. Caldwell every public enterprise and every private charity has a friend.

He is a man of large attainments and broad ideas. He has risen equal to every occasion and every emergency. Men who believed him to be a success In and peculiarly fitted for the affairs he had In haad have wondered to see him grasp and master unfamiliar things. Whatever he kos he does well; whatever he builds toe buihla wisely. He has the talents, the attainments and the power of forcible Statement and discriminating analysis to make him a commanding figure in legislative councils.

ue nas never sought political preferment, but has time and again teen sent to represent his narty in national conventions, and there are many who hope end believe that his genius will yet be called to do for his state and district what he has so splendidly done for his city. Dr. Caldwell Is not a showy or superficial man. Strangers are not Impressed with his real ability. Those who know him best are those who most admire his talents.

He Is, by the multitude, considered cold and unsympathetic, but those who penetrate to the inner circle of his heart know him to be a man of strong attachments and unforgetting in his memory of friendly actions. Every man of ability, of will power, every man who Is a potential factor In his commu nity and risen to a commanding jiosition by his talent or genius, arouses the Jeal ousy of some and the antagonisms of Others. Dr. Caldwell is not exempt from this common fate, but In all the country there are none to doubt his Integrity, to deny his genius, or to question his ability. THE tfUARITY HOSPITAL.

Eighteen thousand dollars worth of cold coal at the bottom of the river, that Is what the st.irai did for Si. D. Wood Bros. This firm deal very largely In coal, receiving the dusky article from northern merchants, handling it for them at their wharfs in Gretna and at Willow Grove. In anticipation of the coming winter, they had taken a heavy supply It lias been coming In a few barges at a time for6everal weeks.

Day before yesterday four large barges tied up at Willow Grove, while another prepared to discharge its cargo at the Ames plantation. There was already such an accumulation of coal at these points that the work of unloading was postponed. On Sunday night the winds took ad vontatrA of this. Thev blew holes In all thesebarges. They rolled up volumes of a.nlv water against rue aevoteu i reuv, and flllert them full.

Then the live went to the bottom. The value of the coal and barges will be a 1 meat a total loss. Some of the coal may be recovered by dredging, but this will hardly affect the truth of the statement. Wood Bros, will not have to bear loss. It will fall anon the dealers in llttsburg.

They vnod all fiv of lhe barges. Two of tbem belonged to Walton one to Munball and one to T. J. Wood; one to O'Xell Co. There was about 1000 tons of coal in each, and it is estimated that they were worth $3500 apiece Headquarters for school F.
