MELHOP DECOURT DROWNED.

Friends of the family of Mr. Albert Decourt were shocked on Wednesday 
morning upon learning of the accidental drowning of his 25 year-old son, 
Melhop Decourt, which took place at Slidell, La. So far, we have not been 
able to learn the full particulars of the unfortunate accident which brought 
on the young man's death, no more than that he was employed with others 
doing mechanical work on a railroad bridge and fell into the water and 
drowned before help could reach him. His father and other close relatives 
are now residents of Alhambra, California. The young man was a native of New 
Iberia. His remains were escorted to New Orleans on Thursday morning and 
interred near that of his deceased mother.
