THE DAILY PICAYUNE NEW WEDNESDAY, DECEM BER 5 26, .1894. I DEATH BIDDEN TO A CHRISTMAS FEAST. A Yotiig Girl Plays With Pistol in a Boom la Which a Part of a Dinner Party 1 Waited, And an Accidental Discharge Speeds a Bullet Through the Heart of Rodger La-branch and Stampedes the Expectant Diners. A colored youth named Rodger La-branch, aged 17 years, residing on Constantinople street, between Laurel and Jersey, was hot through the breast at 7:30 o'clock last evening and Instantly killed. The shooting took place in a bedroom, at the residence of Martha Harris, also colored, residing at No.

,727 Foucher street, between Jeresy and Tchoupitoulas streets, and the- party inflicting the fatal wound was none other than Martha's daughter, Emma, aged 15 years. h'Kom the statements of the latter and several others who were present when Labranch was killed, the affair was purely an accident, aiid the same old story, that they did not know the pistol was loaded, was the real cause of Labranch's death. It appears that the girl's mother gave a Christmas dinner last evening and Invitations were freely extended. At the time of the shooting there were about twenty-six persons in the house, while a great many stood outside. cottage soon became crowded and several of tne parties, including Ralph Meyers; La-branch, the deceased; T.

Jackson and Emma's two cousins, Anna Louisa Ford and Sam Saxtou, proceeded to the bed- room, where Emma took a seat on the foot of the bed. The deceased sealed himself on a chair alongside, while the others took seats about the room. The crowd Anally became so large that Martha requested Emma to go to Mrs. Walker's house, on Foucher street, to get some more chairs, which she did. On her return she found the crowd in the front room amusing thmselves spinning a plate on the door.

The crowd in the rear room were laughing and joking and having a jolly time, while Kinnia's mother was In the kitchen preparing some sauce. The tables had already been spread and the guests were in the height of their delight. Emma passed through the room into the kitchen and asker her mother if there was anything further she could do. The latter requested her to go to Mrs. Sparks' house in the neighborhood and secure some more chairs.

The girl started back "and as she entered the bedroom she noticed a Harrington' Richardson 8-caiiber revolver lying on the bed partly concealed by her biai-K fur cape. Emma stopped, and picking' up tuo revolver, asKed Ralph Meyers If it was loaded, and he replied that he did not know. She then turned the weapon in her hands towards her cousin Anna. The deceased, seeing the weapon pointed si him, started to move away, when to the horror of every one present she pulled the trigger and the weapon exploded with a terrific report. The moment the shot was fired.

La-branch jumped from his seat and grabbing the weapon and the girl, exclaimed: "Kunia, dear, you have shot me," and, reeling, fell full length on the floor. The girl, upon seeing the terrible deed he had committed, fell to the floor in a faint. The greatest of excitement now prevailed in the house, and while a great many fled, others ran to the assistance of L.abranch and tbe girl. The latter was quickly restored, but Lubrnnch's death was almost instantaneous, and be expired before the arrival of the ambulance, which had been summoned. The news of the murder was soon after reported to the police, and Sergeant John Day, commanding the Seventh precinct.

In company "with Corporal Hyatt, hast-. ened to the scene and began an investigation. They took charge of the pistol and secured the names of a number of witnesses, but, no one present would claim the ownership of the revolver. The girl was arrested and looked up on the charge of murder, and when seen last ngiht, corroborated the above facts. The girl was still trembling with fright, and stated that I.abranch was simply an Invited gnest.

When she picked up the pistol and started to look at it. the weapon seemed to stick to her she wanted to put It away but could not. Suddenly she pulled the trigger and it weut off. She then fell to the' floor and knew nothing more until she was picked np. The police, while being of the opinion that the killing was an "accident, were powerless to release her.

The coroner was notified and will hold an autopsy on the body to-day. THE WEATHER. liOCAL RECORD. NEW ORLEANS. Dec.

While" the president was sitting there a delegation cf employes filed iu, and without saying anj thing, except) "Good morning," sat down.

The menagerie contains over 100 animals, including lions, lionesses, leopards, tigers, hyeuas, iwyiar. grizzly and cinnamon bears, monkeys, kangaroos, panthers, zebras, leopards, etc. Prof. Wombwell and his assistants have spent a number of years iu collecting and training the animals, and at present there are few in the collection that are unmanageable. Those subdued go through ft clever performance, and reflect great credit on the patient trainers.

The sensation "of the present musical period In this city will probably occur to-morrow night, when Yaw, the phenomi-nal soprano, makes her appearance at the Odd Fellows' Hall. Critics everywhere pronounce her voice to ue of the most remarkable range and thoroughly schooled in every particular. Miss Yaw comes heralded as the most wonderful singer of the age and the local lyrlo world is on the qui vive to hear her. Her voice Is Maid to be well under control, and it is in the singing of the high notes that her triumph Is most marked. For a singer to Ik? able to reach in altlssimo with he greatest ease is in Itself a wonder.

This is the compass of Miss Yaw's voice. Her run and chromatique effotts are delivered with crystalline pureness and perfect intonation. In fact, her exhibition of vocal pyrotechnics is said to be dazzling. Those who will assist at the concerts are Maximilian Dick, violinist, and Georglella Lay, pianist. French Opera Honse.

There were no Visitors except at long range, nnd a card was posted on the board across the foot of the stairs on which the legend was inscribed, "No person allowed np stairs.

By order Of the court." Judge Ferguson enjoyed his tnrkey at home and did not go to the court because the jury did not send for him. It was tbe belief last night that the jury had nqi, come to an agreement, as they would probably have sent for the Judge If they had, and tried to get ont to spend at least the fag end of tbe day at their homes. This forenoon tbe jury will no doubt be called into the court and some kind of a verdict received. It is thought that it will either be "guilty" or a disagreement. ORLEANS "LODGE.

Some festive yOung men with a fondness for celebration and a love of noise Invested something like 10 la the largest firecrackers they could buy, and serenaded the hotel by touching them off in rapid succession until the supply was exhausted. The guests were dreaming quietly of youthful times when they hung their stockings about the paternal chimney place. The noise began. It was boom! bang! bang! bang! boom! It was a roar of unbroken thunder. Heads, night-capped, young and old, were poked out of the windows.

The magic of sweet visions lied as guests turned on the lamps or touched the call button. The noise went on. It grew fiercely and more terrible. It echoed. It reverberated.
