THE DAILY PICAYUNE NEW ORLEANS. MONDAY, AUGUST 13. 1894. 8 Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U.

S. oyt Report i WHARVES AND SWITCHES. Mr. Bordean Explain the Purport of His "Belt Rodtt' Ordinance. The publication In yesterday's Picayune, relative to the belt road widen the wharf lessees were reported to have under consideration, was brought to the attention of Mr.

C. K. Burdeau. Mr7 Bnrdean said that what bis company contemplated was not a belt road, but a system of switches along the river front. He said that he had prepared the ordinance reprinted In yes a 1 ttn) 1 xeraay a paper, anu wuuiu unu presented at the last session of the city council.

He understood, however, that there was a committee appointed by the Bureau of Freight and Transportation to Interest itself in the belt road oroblem. Not wlshiug to Interfere with any plan that might have been formed by the committee, Mr. Burdeau sent his ordinance to the bureau, with a request to have it considered, altered or amended, as might be necessary, in furtherance of any belt road project that night be under discussion. Me. Burdeau states' that he Is anxious to co operate in the building of such a road, and, in equipping his switches.

would be willing to do so in such a manner that they could be used as an element in that road. Mr. Burdeau said that the commercial interests of the city demanded the increase in facilities which a system of switches on the landings would afford. Hammond, and the nrin of V. Fornaris both largely in the shipping here, were anxious that the roads be extended near enough to the landings to enab.e them to get their freight from the ships Into the cars without unnecessary use of carts and drays.

Switches have been built at several points along the river front, as at Mandeville, Orange and First streets. These tracks come down much after the fashion that the switches run. into the fruit sheds of the Illinois Central Railway at Thalia street. Mr. Burdeau contemplates creating a roadway SO feet wide next fo the landings; and laying the nwitches immediately adjoining this.

He states that the tracks along the front, except at the streets noted, are the main tracks of the company, and cars cannot be suffered to remain while being loaded, but have to be. continually moved up and down, to make way for passing trains. He proposes to build a continuous switch from First street to Orange street, connecting at the upper extremity with the First street switch, and extending Into the switch at Orange street. There are to be minor switches, cutting out from the large switch and Intersecting the main track at intervals of about 600 feet It will thus be possible to place cars along the entire front" which will not nave to be moved till they are loaded, and trains can be made up of the loaded cars and aent directly out of the citv without any great loss of time. Mr.

Brudean says that these facilities ara Imneratlvelv needed, and that un less they are afforded within a short time, the trade of the city will be largely transferred to Southport. The shipping men say that they oannot afford the ex fiense of the present system, and find cheaper to tow their boats all the way up to Southport. This is what the agents of the French lines promise to do unless the switches can be built. Mr. Burdeau tmys this long switch from First to Orange streets constitutes the reatest single extent of the wharf which without rail facilities.

That it could be admirably used in conjunction with road Is patent, and needs no demonstration. In case the Bureau of Freight and Transportation should consider the project favorably, which It is thought they will do, Mr. Burdeau will, at the earliest possible date, bring the matter before the city As that body does not convene for two weeks, it is highly probab.e that the ordinance will be laid before It at its next meeting1, on the last Tuesday In August. In the meantime, the Bureau of Freight and Transportation has referred the ordinance to the presidents of the vnrlou exchanges. In order that tbey might lay It before the proper committees of their organizations, with a view to elicit the suggestions, modifications, or alterations which Mr.

Burdeau has requested. As stated In Saturday's Picayune, a small meeting was held at the bureau on Saturday, but owing to the limited attendance. Its actions are not considered final, and it la very likely that during the week another meeting will be called. Mr. Burdeau thinks that the passage of the ordinance will be insured bv the ratification of the commercial corporations, and that the facilities which are deemed so important will be inaugurated within a reasonable, length of time.

DISPUTED TUG OP WAR. A Lively Fall and a. Ball Game at the Olympic's Picnic At the Sonthern park yesterday afternoon the Olympic Benevolent Assocla i tlon, held one of its interesting picnics. The attendance was large, and the usual sports and other amusements were indulged in. The chief features of interest were the hall game between the Memorys and, the Theards, in which, after a lively contest, the former won by a score of 13 to 7, and the tug of war between the teams made up of French Americans and Italian Americans.

The tug of war had been looked forward to with unusual interest, and at the start there were indications of a protest, as the French team claimed that the Italians had changed their team so as to make it stronger than it was at the time at which the match was arranged. The French. team was made up of Sansovlch. captain; B. Baudet, Henry Dumas.

Clement Chan fran, Tony Manse, Clemence, John Key; and the Italian team vrns made up of Joe Gallorto, captain; Sam Michel, Frank Michel, V. Garrero. Santo Romano, Frank Lai la and George Moullet. The result of the pull Is disputed. The French team claims the victory on a foul, and the Italian team also claims that the victory belongs to them.

The result Is that the tug will be pulled again next Sunday at Old Lake for a wager of $25. The officers of the benevolent association are: President, John H. Manuel first vice president. Paul De Castalug second vice president, A. J.

Tbe conference committee are reported to have come to an agreement which tbey will report to the two branches of congress for approval. The sugar schedule has been fixed at 40 per cent duty ad velorem op. all sugars not above No. 16 Dutch standard.

For sugars above No. 16 Dutch standard the duty is 40 per cent ad valorem on raws and on the value of tbe raw sugar contained in refined with 5c per lb differential dnty and 1 lOc per lb discriminating duty against bounty countries. Tbe exact text of the schedule and Its method of application are not yet given out, and hence comment must be delayed. The secretary of the treasury is to decide how many pounds of raw cane or beet sugar are contained in 10O lbs of granulated or other grades of refined, and also of tbe value of that raw content. One effect of this schedule is to do away with tbe claim that the senate schedule covered protection on cost of refining as the duty now la to be paid only on the value of the raw material la the foreign refined.

In other respect it gives 20c per 10O lbs protection on refined from non bounty countries instead of 50c per 100 lbs in the McKlnley and against 25c per 100 lbs as originally proposed by tbe way and means committee. p. S. The agreement of yesterday on coal and iron appears to. have been canceled to day, and hence the final report to congress is further delayed, but the sugar schedule is understood to be fixed for the final report if tbe committee agree on other matters.

Elaborate accounts have already been given of ladles' kit ting day at the handsomely Improved quarters of the Young Men's Athletic Club. Yesterday was gen tiemen's visiting day, and the steady stream of admiring friends that poured In and out of the palatial parlors, after having partaken of the gracious hospitality of the clubmen, were unanimous in their expressions of. the really wonderful Improvements which met their eyes. Owing to the large number of gentlemen who were unable, either on account of the throng, or because of business engagements, to visit the clubroom yesterday, the management invites them to call today that they might inspect the new improvements. the 'preseut administrators are to be complimented on the admirable manner in which they have conducted the affairs of the culb during their term of office.

It was due to them that the magnificent changes have been wrought. Already great interest is being displayed in the coming election, of officers, which, will take place Sept. 19. The popularity of the present administration wou.d surely insure their triumphant re election should they desire to once again enter their candidacy.

A Negro Murderer Wanted for the Paat Three Years. A negro fugitive named William Montgomery, alias Will Thompson, wanted for the past three years for murder, was captured at 6:53 o'clock last evening at the corner of Customhouse and Franklin streets. It appears that Montgomery bad a 'row with another negro named James Craig in James Britton' store, on the Af ton plantation, in the parish of The trouble was over a game of dice and ended in Montgomery shooting and killing Craig, after which he escaped. The police were notified and last evening Sergeant Aucoln and Officers Teen. Cohen and Vlgers arrested him.

The prisoner admitted that he was. the party wanted, but said he only wounded the man. Pitcher's Ceteris. BEHIND thb SCENES. Horementa of Actors in the Great Drama of tne World.

Personal and Social Erents Occurring Abroad Instructive and Entertaining Panorama of Boyal and Imperial Life. Reported Dally for the Sew Orleans Picayune by the Marquise de Fontenoy. Princess Letltla Bonaparte, widow of the late dnke of Aosta, has Jnst been disciplined by her brother in law, King Humbert, in a manner which is instructive to those who fondly imagine that royal and imperial princesses are free to carry ont their every caprice and inclination. About ten days ago the princess, who has been seized with the prevailing craze for. cycling, was oat riding on her wheel in the neighborhood of Turin, accompanied by her lady in wait? lng and two gentlemen likewise a wheel, when they encountered the Second Regiment of Cavalry, under the command of its colonel, on its way back to the city from the field of maneuvers.

Greatly to the indignation of the princess, none of the customary forms of saluting roy alty were observed, and instead of halt ing the regiment and drawing it up in line to the "present," the colonel and his men rode on without taking the slightest notice of the bicycllBts, beyond some rather endearing remarks addressed by the rank and file to the princess and her lady, who were arrayed in the most fetching but. I am sorry to add, risque, blcyclette costumes now in, fashion at Paris. Immediately on returning to her palace the princess addressed a complaint to General de la Batle concerning the failure of the regiment to grant her the customary salute, whereupon the colonel was taken to task, and notwithstanding his protests that he could not be expected to recognize a princess of the reigning house, mounted on a wheel and In the extravagant guise which she had adopted for riding, he was sentenced to a month's arrest and severely reprimanded. In due course this disciplinary measure was brought to the attention of the king as commander in chief of the army, and with the record of the sentence came likewise the plea put forward by the colonel as an excuse for his remissness. on taking cognizance thereof, King Humbert flew into a vloient quashed the sentence pronounced npon the colonel, conferred upon the old battle scarred warrior a decoration by way of solace, find after severely and publicly reprimanding his sister in law, intimated to her that by" way of punishment for thus making an exhibition of herself, she would for the space of two months be debarred from the privilege of making use of the royal liveries, which, as in England, are scarlet.

Inasmuch as court etiquette exacts that a princess of the blood should make use of no other livery, either when driving out or when receiving and entertaining people at home, this is equivalent to placing the princess under arrest for eight weeks, an arrest which not only deprives her of driving or of going out to any entertainment, but likewise of receiving friends and acquaintances at her palace. It is indeed one of the severest forms of court discipline known, and has never before, to my knowledge, at any rate, been inflicted upon a princess of the blood, although Empress Eugenie tried very hard to indure her husband, to subject Princess Mathllde to a penalty of this nature at the time when she was creating a public scandal by the flagrant character of her Intimacy with the handsome Count Nieuwerkerke, a servant in the imperial livery being practically in the personal service of the count. The only instances that I can recall of this punishment being Inflicted upon princes are that of the present duke of Schleswig Holstein, brother of the German empress, who was temporarily deprived of the privilege for having' appeared at the Charlottenburg races in an equipage attended by servants in the imperial livery, but in which there was seated with him a somewhat notorious American lady, who was subsequently expelled from Germany by the police. Tne other was that of the late Prince Charles Bonaparte, father of Cardinal Bonaparte, and of that Princess Julie, marquise de Rocca Giovlne, whose correspondence with Prosper Merimer. now appearing in the Nouvelle Revue at Paris, is attracting so much attention alike in the political and the literary world.

The late. Prince Charles was, in the early days of the empire, exceedingly intimate with the great tragedienne Rachel, whose morals were exceedingly questionable, and one day he created a tremendous scandal by placing his carriage, a daumont and four, at the disposal of his Inamorata, Seated in this gorgeous equipage, with ooth the servants in the rumble and the postilions arrayed in the imperial livery, the great actress drove up the Champs Elysees. People who saw her coming were Convinccu that it could be no one else than th i empress, and bowed low, only discovering their mistake when too late, while, when the guards on duty at the Arc de Triomphe saw tbe carriage drawing nigh and everybody saluting its occupant, they at once let down the chains and permitted the vehicle to pass beneath the arch, an honor restricted exclusively for the sovereign and his consort. On the following day a curt announcement in the official moniteur, or gazette, gave the Parlslans to understand tnat tne emperor had withdrawn from his cousin. General Prince Charles Bonaparte, the privilege of making use of the royal liveries.

This particular prince, I. may add, was one of the meanest scoundrels in existence, refused several duels and permitted himself to be publicly spat in the face by young Count Rossi, whose father's violent death at Rome was justly attributed to the instigation and the intrigue of this prince. Apropos of this feat of Rachel It may be remembered that a somewhat similar incident occurred during the great exhibition of 1867. of which Hortense Schneider was the heroine. Paris was thronged with foreign royalties at the time.

One day the guards at the main entrance of the exhibition raw a beautiful equipage with four horses and postilions driving up to the gate as if anxious to enter. The commissary of police on duty hastened to the carriage, and. not recogn's Ing its occupant, exclaimed: "Madame, it is only royal personage who are permitted to drive In." "Do you not know me?" haughtily Inquired Hortense; "I am the Grand Duchess Gerolstein." Convinced that he was in the presence of one of the royal guests of the emperor and empress, instead of that of the queen of the Parisian burlesque stage, he bowed low, ordered the gates to be opened and permitted the actress to drive in and through the grounds of the exhibition, the astonishment of her friends who recognized her within the precincts of. the' Champ de Mars being more easy to imagine than to describe, and she 'remains on record as being the only person not of Toyal rank who was permitted to enjoy this privilege during that most brilliant year of the empire. Lord Dufferln, who has been figuring so conspicuously at Cowes as a yachtsman during the race week there, navigating his tiny vacht, the Lady Herml one.

with such skill, is by no means a novice In this branch of sport. Indeed, it was as i a yachtsman that he first attracted public attention, long before he distinguished, himself either as a diplomat or as a viceroy. I may add that among titles and dignities which have conferred npon him is one of which few people are aware, and it will doubtless be news to many of my readers that the English ambassador at Pans is entitled to fly at the masthead of his Little yacht the fine of admiral of Ulster.

Editor Picayune: Yon are entirely cor reot in urging, at this fateful crisis, the Louisiana senators to stand for tbs defeat of the tariff bill unless a fair bounty is given on the growing crop. As the measure now stands, it is "a delusion and a snare," so far as the home producers are concerned, and altogether in the interests of the money grabbing For the home producer would derive no. protection on the growing crop from the tariff. The trust has swept the markets of the world, and now holds half a million tons of raw sugars, so that an embargo on further supplies would be laid by the duty, while the trust would absolutely control the markets for the next six months with its vast accumulations of free sugars. The bounty tor this year can alone give home producers a living chance.

'No bounty, no bill," should be the Louisiana rallying, cry. J. W. F. BAY ST.

(Special.) The Norwegian steamer Britten arrived last night. She comes to the Bay City. Lumber Company, by whom she has been chartered to carry lumber between this port and Hayti for the next six months. Mention was made some days ago that a gentleman was In the city getting freight rates with a view of putting on a line of steamers between Mobile and, Port au Prince, Hayti, and it is. probable that before the expiration of the Bratten's charter there may be a regular line of steamers running to Hayti.

Mr. E. A. Coon, a former resident of Michigan, has started in a small, way a vinegar factory across the river on the site of the Seaboard Manufacturing Company's old plant, where he proposes to make vinegar from the refuse bananas which come from the unloading of the fruit steamers. He is of the opinion that they will make excellent wine as well as vinegar.

Misses Loin and Lama Lumsden, of Selma, arrived in the city Saturday afternoon to visit their sister, Mrs. L. W. Brown. Captain Frank Lumsden, of the tug Mary Louise, report that while on hla recent cruiee with his family one of his daughters stepped from the deck of the tug inside the door of the boiler room and fell a distance of nine feet on the iron floor below.

She thought she was going Into her stateroom. The most part of the accident is that the young lady escaped without injury, not receiving as much as a bruise from her perilous step. The remains of Maeter Mechanic James G. Wiiklns, of the Seaboard RaUroad, who received injuries in an accident on that road yesterday morning, from which he died yesterday afternoon, were brought to the city this afternoon from Falrford, on the Mobile and Birmingham train, and were taken to Whistler, his former home, for interment. The funeral services were largely attended.

The Norwegian steamship Simon Du rools arrived at 5 o'clock this afternoon from Bocas del Toro with 12,000 bunches of bananas; to J. B. Camors tc Co. Twelve cars were loaded to night and the balance of the cargo will be taken out In the morning. After being unloaded the Simon Dumois will sail for New York, thence to Bergen, for general repairs, returning next February.

Lieutenant Colonel R. B. Dumont, of the First Regiment state troops, who volunteered for duty at Birmingham for a month, returned home this morning. He says that tbe eentinels in his command, were fired on last night and that indications are that the soldiers will have to be kept in the mining districts adjacent to Birmingham. Chief of Police Burke sent Detective Ed Morris to Waynsboro, to night on tte Mobile and Ohio train to take a look at Jim Lewis, alias "Greasy Jim." arrested there some days ago and thought to be Private Watchman Cotter' murderer.

It Is thought that possibly the negro may be wanted here. Lillle Clark, aged 11, assaulted Minnie McLean, aged 14, last night with a Cat glass goblet, cutting a gash an inch or two long on the McLean girl's left cheek. Both are colored. They quarreled. Toochie Harris, colored, was arrested to night on the charge of having stolen 26 from Mrs, McXamara, who resides on the corner of Wilkinson, and Canal treeta.

T0 HEB" KILLED DU COLLISION Between Express Trains on the Atchison Railroad. The Trains Came Together lYith Terrific Crash. An Engineer and Conductor Fail to Obey Orders. Sereral Passengers Hare Narrow tscapes The Accident Occurs 'on a Cnrres Kansas City, Ang. 12.

A disastrous head end collision occurred on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway between Hurdland and Glbbs at 3:30 o'clock this morning, between express train No. 5, west bound, and express train No. 4, east bound, resulting in two trainmen being killed and several passengers injured, and the engines, baggage and express cars completely destroyed. According to orders the trains were to have met at Glbbs, and it is alleged No. 4 violated orders.

'iue killed were: Engineer Humphrey. George Kapplinger, express messenger, burled in wreck. Injured: Dan Millsborongh, of Chicago, baggage master, badly bruised and hurt internally. E. E.

Derrick, baggagemaster, badly bruised from head to teet; will probably die. Engineer Candy, of Fort Madison, shoulder badly hurt. Fireman Mart Fogarty, of Fort Madison, badly bruised; will recover. Fireman E. P.

Styles, of Kansas City, slightly bruised. Brakeman Holmes, of Fort Madison, hands mashed. Justin McCarthy, of Chicago, and Walter N. Durbin. 23 years old, from Milwaukee, ankles cut.

The trains met on a slight curve and came togetner with a terrific crash. Both. engineers, applied the air brakes and reversed their engines. As soon as the passengers and those of the train crew not hurt recovered from the snock they proceeded to rescue the unfortunate victims. Engineer Humphrey, of No.

4, was found at his post with one of his limbs cut off at the thigh and his head almost split in two. He died In a few minutes. Express Messenger Kapplinger was Instantly killed. E. E.

Derrick, "baggageman of No. 5, bad a very narrow escape, and his injuries may yet prove fatal. The momentum forced him through the side of the car and landed him on the embankment, about 50 feet away. His face was mashed to a Jelly, and his body terribly cut and bruised.

Captain. AMlello'a New Llfefcoat and Its Self Riflrhtlna; Arraage meat. A lifeboat, bouyant as a eork, tir tlght, ttlf rigbting, self bailing, unslnkatle and non capsizing, represents an ideal which many Inventors have in vain struggled to attain. Captain Aniello, who seems to have solved the problem and produced a boat answering ail these requirements, is a native of this city, and at present a resident here. The building of lifeboats has been with him a life long study.

His invention first took form about five years ago, and in the fall of 1889, he exhibited in the river a boat which was supposed to possess features destined to revolutionize the principles of that kind of craft. The model was, however, un wieldly, and the experiment ptoved unsatisfactory. Aniello perfected his Invention, and' recently completed a boat In conjunction with Octave riaucage, the veteran shipwright, which united all the good points of the older model, with many new feat urea. This boat was built in the yard attached to Baucage's home, on. Powder and Klmira streets, and.

was launched for trial yesterday evening. She was brought over the river by Captain Aniello, ana a' ew composed of A. Green, Sam Green, Charles Green and George World. A thorough trial was had at 4 o'clock at the foot of Canal street in" the presence of a large crowd. The merits of the boat were plainly established.

She possessed all the bouyancy claimed for her, and the ingenious arrangement of openings above the water Mne relieve I the inner deck of all the water which might be accumulated In capsizing, that the craft righted at once. The boat is clinker built, 18 feet over all, 5 feet 5 inches beam, 2 feet 4 inches deep, with a 12 inch shear. It Is furnished at either extremity turtle backed caissons 2 feet 10 Inches in length. These caiaMohs give xh boat its self righting capacities, as, when overturned, she draws but 6 inches of water, and the shear being 12 inches, she cannot float in that position, righting berself at once, in the manner of a buoy. The self bailing apparatus consists of eight souppeps, four on each side, placed below the water line in the stern of the vessel, wiiere there is a well.

The flooring is raised anl slopes 2 1 2 inches towards the stern, so that waters shipped in a seaway flow directly to the well, where they are emptied through nbe scuppers. The level of the water In the well corresponds to the water level ob side, bat is several inches below the flooring. Thoe the boat drains itself with remarkable rapidity. Wire gratings over the scuppers prevent he water from washing into bhe boat, breaking the waves into foam. This end is further effected by protecting boards fastened inside over tha scappers.

The capacity of the boat la twenty one persons, but Captain Aniello claims that it can. In emergency, carry thirty with ease. Tbe boat's draft, earry ng its full complement, is bas 9 inches, giving the gunnels 19 inches clear. The bouyancy of the boat ia due to seven air tight compartments, five being under the planked deck. These compartments collectively contain 63 cubic feet of air.

The boat weighs 700 pound. The woods nsed are excellently seasoned, the lines are pure and graceful, and the entire craft presents an appearance as graceful as could be conceived. After the tests, she was rowed back to the sheltered water before Captain Ban cage's home, where she is now moored. Though only two pairs of oars were em poly ed, her exceptional lightness was siiowu in the speed made, the boat being kept, with little effort apace with the ferry. She will lie at her present moorings for three or four days longer, when ahe will be taken across to this side of the Mississippi and placed on a fl a tear, to be transported to Washington.

The in. Ten tor oas a patent, and he hopes to exhibit the boat "to the officers of the navy department, in order to secure the adoption by the government of bis molel. It is thought exceedingly likely that boats built according to this plan will be added to the life saving service, where they properly belong. The new boat is unnamed. She has been equipped with all the adjnncts of the ordinary lifeboat.

Including lire lines along the and a casual Inspection reveals to the unobservant nothing unusual in her boil except the unwonted roundness of her hull. It is a fact deserving of note that the final solution of one of the most pus sling and delicate problems in naval architecture has been accomplished by a native and resident of New Orleans.

Formerly ail the mandolins oaed In this country were Imported from Germany and. Italy; now nearly all that are nsed here, and a great many are nsed, are made in this country, says the Philadelphia Press. In the past year and a half or two years the mandolin has become very popular here, and its popularity, shows no signs of diminishing.

The demand for mandolins comes from all over the country, and it ts so great that wholesale dealers in musical instruments are not always able to keep up with It promptly. It is said that we make in this country mandolins better than the imported, and the same Is said of American guitars. made in this country are now nsed throughout the land, end they are exported to all Spanish American countries.
