From "an old diary," running in the Monroe Times, supposed to have been kept by McGuire, the following phenomenon is recorded: 110n the morning of November 13, 1833, a most singular rain of fire from the heavens appeared to start from a ter almost east at an elevation of about 65 degrees above the horizon a little south of east, and fell in every direction to the horizon, creating a light like daybreak, and every few minutes So large as to produce a glare.

C. C. ANTOINE. The Colored Ex-Lieutenant-Governor's Trial and Conviction In New Orleans. The dispatches a few days ago contained a brief account of the trial and conviction of C.

C. Antoine, formerly of this city and in years gone by quite a prominent Republican politician. The Picayune gives the following extended account of the case: Antoine was lieutenant-governor of Louisiana from 1872 to 1876, under the Wm. Pitt Kellogg's administration, and the position of the accused in Republican circles sutticed to draw a number of prominent men to the courtroom. Assistant District Attorney Adams conducted A.

the D. Henriques, for the State, aswas specially retained by Mr. Wolfson. Morris Marks, and O. W.

appeared for defense. The jury was composed of George J. Wagner, Emile Meyer. Henry Mathe, Charles W. Stark, James T.

Hampton, Abram Israel, George Lanaux, Joseph L. O' Rourke, Francois Crois, Emanuel Cerda, Napoleon Pescia and Richard B. Cenas. Antoine, it appeared from the evidence, owns a piece of property in the rear of the city, on which was a mortgage for $250. He stated to Mr.

Wolfson that he desired to raise $40 with which to meet a note, and, representing that the property was inside the drainage machines of the city and worth $500, offered to sell it for $250, Mr. Wolfson assuming the mortgage liabilities. Mr. Wolfson paid Antoine cash, assuming liability of the $40 note referred to. The remaining $160 was to be paid when the transfer was completed.

Mr. Wolfson found, on looking into the matter, that the property was outside the drainage limits, and that it was incumbered by thousand dollars in judicial mortgages, based on judgments for unredeemed promissory notes. Antoine claimed that he did not state that the property was inside the age limits, and the defense set up was that the accused did not know of any incumbrances on the property, except that of the $250 mortgage referred to. When cross-examined by Mr. Adams, Antoine admitted that he knew of civil suits having been instituted against him in this parish.

In one case judgment in the sum of $1,000 was rendered for plaintiff. In another case he was sued as security on a note of $140. Witness knew that the decision had been rendered by default, no defense having been made. The defense attempted to prove that Mr. Wolfson had not taken steps in the criminal prosecution until the accused had threatened to sue him for $160 due on the sale of the lands, and the State introduced documentary evidence to show that Mr.

Wolison had attempted to recover the money paid to Antoine by threatening for three months to lay the matter before the Federal authorities and to institute criminal proceedings through the grand jury. Antoine was on the stand from before noon until 5 o'clock, and from 7 until 8 o'clock in the evening. His cross-examination by Sir. Adams lasted over four hours, and the case was marked by voluminous testimony regarding every detail of the transaction on which the trial was based. The case was closed at 8:40.

Mr. Adams wished to submit it without argument, but the defense was not willing. Mr. Marks spoke for forty minutes, holding that misrepresentation as to incumbrances did not constitute liability to prosecution for false pretenses, as the remedy lay in civil proceedings for recovery, and that the tion of a worsted in a bargain ought not to be tortured into a criminal prosecution. It was hardly probable, he thought, that the accused should attempt to defraud a notary and attorney of Mr.

Wolfson's standing. Antoine's continued refusal to refund the $50, he held, was but a proof of his consciousness of innocence. Besides, the evidence had shown that Antoine delivered his title to the lands to Mr. Wolfson for guidance in draughting the act of sale. Mr.

Adams opened at half past 9, and spoke for fifty minutes. He held that if Mr. Marks really thought there were no grounds for criminal prosecution he would have filed a demurrer to the indictment instead of waiting for the swearing in of a jury. Also, that if. not knowing positively that the property bore, no incumbrance except the $250 mortgage, he represented that it did not, he was legally guilty of misrepresentation.

The court delivered an oral charge and the case was finally given to the jury. The jury came down stairs again at 10:55, with a verdict of "guilty; strongly recommended to the mercy of the court." SNAGBOAT FLORENCE Engaged in the Work of Setting Government Gauges Along Red River. The United States snagboat Florence, under command of Captain J. H. Lewis, is tied up at our levee, having arrived on Wednesday evening.

1893. 00 00 00 0 00 00 MARSHALL OUTRAGE. Full Particulars of the Villianous Attack on Mrs. Hooper. The Fiend in Human Form Ties, Gags and Beats Her.

No Clue to the Whereabouts of the Perpetrator. The TIMES gave an account in yesterday morning's issue of the terrible assault on a Mre. Hooper at Marshall, Tex. Our report was obtained from the engineer of the Texas and train, who was not fully informed of the particulars. We find the following account in the Marshall Messenger of the 25th: About 10:30 last night as Mrs.

John Hooper, who lives on the North Side, preparing to retire a man entered room, struck her several times with a short stick, tied and gagged her. Her husband, who is a night greaser at the Texas and Pacific depot, was away at his work, and the unfortunate lady was alone on the premises. Failing to accomplish his purpose owing to struggles of his intended vietim, the tan left. Mrs. Hooper was then able to loose herself sufficiently to run into the street, and scream for help.

Andy Nichols heard her, and ran with his gun to her assistance. Finding the man gone, he at once telephoned to town for the officers. Officer Whitsett responded, secured Dan Wallace's dog. put him on the trail and ran the man to the railroad near the old nut lock factory, were the trail was lost. Whitsett thinks the man boarded a passing freight train at this place and made good his escape.

Mrs. Hooper, while greatly frightened, has received no serious injuries. She describes her assailant as a thick. heavily built man, weighing about 160 pounds with light burnsides. He had the appearance of a tramp.

The first intimaton that she had of the man's presence in the room was feeling her shawl being drawn from her shoulders. She caught at it and felt the man's hand. He quickly threw the shawl over her head and face completely gagging her. She was reading with her back to the door at the time. He dragged her into an adjoining room and tied her hands with his suspenders.

The sound of a gate closing caused him to leave. BOLD ROBBERY. Negroes Hold up a Delivery Wagon 'and Steal its Contents. Last night about 9:30 the delivery wagon of W. L.

Barnes, loaded with about $5 worth of groceries was sent loser in deliver the the southern goods to a portion of customer. the city The wagon was driven by a colored boy, who says that when passing through Silver lake bottom, not far from the Belt Line trestle, he was stopped by some negroes, one of whom held a pistol on him, while others crowded into the wagon and stole the goods. The negroes were recognized, the police notified and it is safe to say that they will soon be in durance vile. NARROW ESCAPE. Mr.

Jules Dreyfuss Has His Arm Broken and Makes a Narrow Escape From More Se- rious Injuries. Mr. Jules Dreyfuss' many friends in this city, while regretting an accident that caused that worthy gentleman some pain and inconvenience, will be glad to know that he made a most lucky and fortunate escape from a very perilous situation on Friday evening last in New Orleans, where he had been on business for a few days. He had determined to return home on Friday night last and took a cab to go to the Texas and Pacific Railway depot. While the driver was urging the team along at a lively gate, and when near the depot, the team took a sudden fright at a freight train which was passing and dashed away with a sudden turn which upset the cab and threw the driver violently to the ground.

Mr. Dreyfuss. who was inside the cab. was imprisoned therein, and had little or 110 means of protecting himself, as the frightened horses drew it along the ground for some fifteen or twenty yards. The driver, though suffering a painful hurt to one of his legs, held bravely to the lines, and finally managed to stop the team assistance reached him.

Mr. Dreyfuss then succeeded in getting out of his dangerous position, scarcely realizing that the large bone of his foream was broken about half way between wrist and elbow. He walked over to the depot, not tar distant, where an examination developed this unpleasant fact. He then returned his friends company the and physician was called to set the broken bone. He remained over until Sunday evening, when he took train for home, and reached safely yesterday morning.

Had plucky driver held so bravely to the lines, the horses would probably carriage to pieces, and Mr. Dreyfuss might have escaped it he says he is fortunately. satisfied. for be has not suffered much pain, and knows that his arm will soon be as good as ever. MR.

BLANCHARD. The Chairman of the Rivers and Harbors Committee Favors an Extra Session. While in town last Saturday, Hon. N. C.

Blanchard was interviewed by our reporter upon the question of an extra session of the Fifty- third Congress; and declared absolutely and unequivocally in favor of an extra session. Mr. Blanchard said: "I am in favor of the new Congress being called to meet on March 5. It seems to me to be the duty of President Cleveland to call Congress together as early 88 possible that such relief as will come to the people from legislation may not be delayed. The people have demanded most emphatically a change in the present order of things and demand should be answered as speedily as possible." Mr.

Blanchard says further: "There was some doubt my mind as to the wisdom of calling the Congress together in extra session, should the Republicans retain control of the Senate, but since we control that body, though it the slight majority of the casting vote of the vice-president, that is removed and I believe we should get to work at once and redeem our pledges."

The Difliculty Occurred Over a Game of Cards. The Murderer Arrested, and Afterwards Ascapes from the Posse. The Times learned yesterday the following particulars of a tragedy which occurred at Bethany on Saturday night, last: A lot of negroes usual, playing cards, and shooting craps. It appears that a negro named John Brown had borrowed, in the course of the game, 25 cents from another negro named Meloin Patterson. Over this loan it is said a dispute arose, which resulted in Patterson drawing a pistol and shooting John Brown to death.

Patterson tried to make his escape, but was captured by a posse, which started to take him to Greenwood to deliver him over to an officer. While on the way Patterson made a break and got away, and has not been heard of since. We could not learn the particulars of his escape. All we heard was that he got away. Married.
