and Gilfoux were killed instantly, and
from the tint volley. The pistols taken
from their bodies show that they had not
fired a shot when killed* They were two
of Fansse Point’s most respected and
beloved cititxens. Their friends pres
ent, consisting of six or eight men, were
so infuriated that they went into the battle
regardless of every thing and fought brave
ly. A grest many negroea stood and
fought until they emptied their pistols. A
majority, however, stampeded. Hundreds
of them jumped into the bayou and some,
being wounded, did not get out Others
ran and ^pme fell down on the wav and
died. One negro waa found near by m his
cabin, dead, without a bruise on him. It
is still unknown how msny were killed,
bnt it is certain that sixteen and probably
twenty lives were lost. Nearly all cf those
killed received their wounds from stray
shots. It is reported that tbe white Re
publicans present were armed with breast
plates, secured for the occasion. Judge
FonUlieu’s clothing was full of ballet
holes, but his skin was untouched. Capt.

is warmly approved. His warm support
of the exposition it app'eciated all over

that it would be a source of intense disap

Nxw Orleakh, November 3.—A special
to tbePicnjntne from New Iberia says:
About 2CO Republicans, principally ne
groes. entered Lareauville a little after 1
o'clock Saturday afternoon, cheering in
tbe wildest manner and using profane and
obscene language in the greatest profusion
Tbe crowd was headed by ex-Sheriff Vitaor,
and they abused the Democratic candidate
in the vilest terms. Tbe most reliable and
impartial witnesses agree that a lew of the
citizens of Lareauville, not over fifteen in
number, headed by Joe Gilfoux, met this
crowd of Kelloggites and remonstrated
with them, when some unknown party
fired on Gilfoux. The assault was unex
pected on the part of tbe Democrats, and
before they could really Gilfaux and Capt.
Bell had fallen. The latter’s revolver was
taken from bis body. It bod not begn dis
charged. As soon as the shooting com
menced there was the greatest confusion
mid the negroes scattered in every direc
tion. It is very probable that many of the
balls of the Kellopgites found victims in
their own ranks. When tbenegroes stam
peded they left their wounded to care for
themselves. The firing was quite general
and many were wounded and some killed
who were not aimed at. Eight horses were
killed at the scene of tbe fight and one was
found dead a mite away. Borne of
the wounded negroes started to
run, deserting their horses, and
ran until they fail from exhaustion.
It is reported that some of them ran into
tho bayou, where they were drowned.
Other reached the opposite shore and con
tinued their tllght. The panic among the
negroes was terrible. They had been told
so many wild stories about tbe Demo
crats, that they verily believed the day of
doom had come. The finding of negroes
at some distance from the battlefield
caused a rumor that tbe negroes had been
followed and shot down wherever found,
it Is positive!? listed by w.®
'pants that this Is (else. No l " oti
were fired off the field nor were
any ol the negroes punned by
anyone. Several parties bad balls extract
ed here, but they say their wounds were
received in the engsgement. It is stated
that one man died five miles below here
from wounds received in the fight. The
Democrats surrounded the Republican
leaders and took them prisoners. Coroner
If avllle went to Lareauville to view the re
mains of Gilfoux and Beil, but took no
testimony. He will complete his task to
day. He says that as far as he can fearn
there m«st have been fourteen or sixteen
negroes killed. Many were wounded. The
Radicals had been waving the bloody shirt
here for a long time, and at
Dongola, leaving a reserve corps oi «>,ow
at Wady Haifa. The Mudlr of Dongola
has promised to furnish a contingent of
3,000 men, to be armed with Remington
ritlei. The Canadian boatmen have sue
ceeded in getting 120boats over the second
cataract—at Wady Haifa. The third cat
aract is at Hannek. about forty miles be
low New Doncoia ; tbe fourth Is on that
part of the Nile which runs southwest,
nearly half way between Abu Hamed and
Debbeb; the fifth is thirty-five miles
north of Berber, and tbe sixth cat
aract is near a village called El
Hajar, about fifty miles north of
Khartoum. Tbfc smaller cataracts are aU
between Wady Haifa and Dongola. They
are as follows: Bamneb, Wady Attireh.
Ambikol, Tangoor,_Uckina, Akasbeh and
Ambikol, Tangoor, Uckina, AKasnen ana
Dahl, or Ambikol. The 8anineh and Wady
Attireh cataracts are not difficult, but the
Ambikol cataract, which extends four or
five miles, is impassable at low Nile and a
severe trial at high Nile. A short distance
farther the cataract of Tangoor also bars
the way and is as diffleu’t of passage as
that of Ambikol. From Tangoor to Don
gola, and for some distance beyond, there
are lew cataracts offering serious impedi
ments. From Hannek, the third cataract
to the fourth cataract the river
is navigable by sailing boats, a dis
tance of 224 miles; thence to Abu

[TELEGRAPHED TO TH* ASSOCIATSD PBESS.l
Paris, November 2.—A dispatch from
Cairo to the Morning Scut says: The
Mahdi in the beginning of September,
hearing of tho advance of the British
forces, made a supreme effort to reduce
Khartoum, which place at the end of Sep
tember was surrounded by 150,000 rebels.
Supplies failing, the garrison be
gan to waver. A deputation
of officers complained bitterly
General Gordan that they hid been de
ceived by the promise of British assistance,
and they accused him of aiding in the de
ception. Tbe deputation also demanded
that a retreat be made to Dongola. and
threatened if this action were not taken
they would join the Mahdi. Gen. Gor
don thereupon consented to the plan pro
posed. Meanwhile n panic arose and 8,000
soldiers and civilians deseited in a body.
Two thousand men remained faithful and
embarked with Gen. Gordon. The rebels
were advised of wbat bad occurred and
harassed the retreat to Bhendy, where
maves of rebels provided with artillery
disabled tbe flotilla. Unly Colonel
Stewart's vessel succeeded in pausing
Berber, and shortly at ter ward it was
wrecked. The reminder of the flotilla
was obliged to return southward, and on
reaching Sberay the entire force was ca -
taxed, about the 5th of October. General
Gordon was suit under a strong escort to
the Mahdi’* camp, where he is uow a close
prisoner.
TH* REPORT DISCREDITED.
London, Nov. 2.—The foreign office dis
credits the dispatch to the Paris Morning
New* announcing the capture of General
Gordon. A dispatch to tbe Daily News
from D» >beh says the powerful Takam
tribes, v uich are inimical to tbe Mahdi.
have raptured El Obeid. It is said the
Mahdi’-. prestige is waning among the
tribes between Dehbeh and El Obeid.
Tbe Time* considers the news reported
from Cairo to the Paris Morning New* to
the effect that Khartoum has fallen into
the bands of tbe rebels, and that General
Gordon baa been taken prisoner, extreme
ly doubtful. This view, it thinks is espec
ially reasonable in tbe ataenee of aovi#?s
or tbe subject from.Gen. Wolseley. The
77me* tracesdbe report to the Bosphnrc
Kgyptien, a French organ, which may have
given a Europeanized version of Arab ru
mors which have recently gained some
currency in Cairo. Earl Granvdle, secreta
ry of state for foreign affairs, assured
the Press Association to-day 'hat the gov
ernment had received no confirmation of
the news. Up to noon to-day nothing had
been received at the government offices iu
regard thereto.
A dispatch to-day from Dongola to Reu
ter’s Telegram Company makes no mention
of the reported fall of Khartoum: Itssys,
however, that the Mahdi at last accounts
waa collecting his forces around Khar
toum, and had summoned General
Gordon to surrender. The troops of
tbe Mahdi bad intsicepted two messengers
dispatched by the British to Khartoum
The same dispatch declares tbit at last
accounts a large force of the rebels was at
Berber, and that the rebels have posses
sion of the wells on tbe caravan route be
tween Debbeh and Khartoum. After the
crops are harvested the Mahdi’s torces
will be largely increased.

POPULAR PHOTOCRAPH8.

New York Herald.
Clearly tbe moat-Interesting develop
ment in life is tbe human features. Hence
daguerreotypes and photographs. Twen
ty-live years ago, when carte, it vi'.ife
were all the rage, every man, woman and
child, no matter how humble their means,
owned an album, in which tiny pictures
were preserved. At that time tbe three
chief picture takers of this country were
Brady, Fredericks and Qurney. Mr.
Brady, as the flies of the Herald abund
antly disclose, began a collection of local,
national and universal celebrities, which,
shortly after the breaking out of tbe civil
war, he removed to Washington, whence,
as a base of operations, he cent with every
great army corps bia representatives to
preserve in pictorial form records of tbe
great battles of the day, with portraits of
tho men who participated In them. That
vast collection is somewhere stored, but at
present makes no figure in tbe public eye.
Some years ago a new style of picture,
called the Imperial, was introduced. At
first it found but little favor, as there were
no albums large enough to contain pic
tures of that else. Other artists followed,
and as art and science kept psce with
capital new galleries were formed, until
to-day the entire city is sprinkled with
frames containing portraits, pictures of
various kiuds, and of all sorts and sizes,
done for miraculously small earns of
money. Instantaneous photographs are

will not bo for want of variety in the large
amount of elaborate detail covering a
great part of the exterior. I do not at this
moment recall an American building ot
large elze so laboriously ornamonted In
sucu variety or etylo. It wonld almost
appear aa if the architect had tried here to
tell “all he knew.” As to the fitness and
propriety of much of the work, there tuny
be great doubts; especially In view of the
faci that tbe interior exhibits construction
that may almost be called flimsy. Mon ,-v
e .ough might easily have been saved in
Ihu exterior wort to liaye made much
more substantial if not fireproof construc
tion in the interior. But. doubtless, tho
architect worked under instructions, and
was at fin same time probably hampered
by limitations, making It Impossible to do
much otherwise than he has done. Anil
it requires a good deal oi courage as well
as fidelity to the interests of hit employer
to prevent an architect from “making a
splurge" when he has the chance, audit
will always be so whilst tbe public eye i*
so easily caught and so much taken with
profuse surface ornamentation, skillfully
worked out iu accordance with tbe pm-
vailing fashion.
In this building there is abundant evi
dence of good taste and skill in adaptation,
though auy one who chooses to look over
the architectural publications of the dsy
will find every part and portion of the de
tail repeatedly illustrated in the work cf
what may be ca led the fashionable archi
tect. There is not the slighest originality
in the detail or tbe grouping or the mass,
and the work is open to criticism In the
manner of using iron and stone. Almost
the entire frontage is supported or. irot
columns, with fatal Injury to the unity of
effect by cutting off the lower and sup
porting story from the immense mass ot
brick and atone above, the iron appearing
altogether disproportionate ana fragile
for the duty imposed upon it Masses of
rough stone work such as used here would
look well supporting Iron columns, but to
make the iron columns support the rough
blocks of stone Is almost as bad as making
a man carry bia horse instead of riding on
it. I think it also a mistake to construct
tbe balcony over the front entrance, with
yched opening* through which people are
•apposed to look, of rough stone like that
used in other portions of the building; in
eucb a position the etoae ebould at feast
have been dressed smooth. But I have no
doubt the popular verdict on the building
will be favorable by a large majority, and
tho enthusiastic Atlanta man will pro
nounce it magnificent. There may this be
said about it, that it is an improvement
on the best work that has heretofore been
done in Atlanta, though this is not saying
much, Atlanta architecture not being at
all of a high class. Such buildings as the
new Kimball House will serve a* a much
needed educating impulse, and the result
will be beneficUIjnst so far as the public
is able to "refuse the evil end choose the
good.” p.
