AndersOn's Agony Over.
IN. o. Democrat, Feb. 2s.l

N. y. Democrat, Feb. 26.]
1t was about 1925 o'clock yes
terday morning when Judge Whita-
ker called L. c. Anderson from the
dock to hear his sentence. Four
Of jury in the case of the State VS..
Mike McCool had just been impan-
eled, but the course of the trial had
been stopped. and a deputy went
to the dock to bring Anderson forth.
He came out looking much excited,
and EVIDENTLY under great excite
ment. After waiting some time
for the Assistant Attorney General,
he arrived, and Judge Whitaker
took up the question presented by
the motion in arrest OF judgement
in the Anderson case. The follow
ing were the grounds
That there was variance be-
tween the original information and
the amendment allowed to be fled
material to the merits and consti-
tutes new charge, and therefore
the proceedings are null and void.
That Anderson is not charged to
have falsely and feloniously utter
ed and published as true a certain
altered document in any official
capacity whatsoever.
That defendant had never
preliminary examination before a
magistrate.
That the prosecution should have
been by indictment instead of in
formation.
The Judge reviewed each ground
separately. and answered them
under the law conclusively. He
then oyerruled the motion.
Making a motion with his hand,
the Judge requested Anderson to
stand up by the bar. The Retur-
ner stood up.
Judge Whitaker-''Hav you any
reason or anything to say why the
sentence of the law should not now
be passed upon your"

am in your power. God knows
I am innocent of the crime. This
is a cruel persecution under the
forms of law. 1 am ready to re-
ceive your sentence.
Judge Whitaker replied as fol-
lows:
think the action of the Grand
Jury and the law officers of the
State, and of the jury who sat on
your trial, and the court that pre-
sided upon it, was fully justified
by the evidence, and ] have seen
no Indication of any attempt at
persecution. / think the verdict
rendered was in accordance with
the evidence adduced on the trial;
that you had fair trial by jury
impartially selected from the good
people of the State. Considering
the verdict of the jury, and their
recommendation TO the mercy of
the court, under section. 833 of the
Revised Statutes / sentence you to
two years at hard labor in the
State penitentiary, and to pay the
costs of this prosecution.
In receiving the sentence Ander-
son was pallid, and the nervous ac-
ton Of the muscles of the jaw show
ed that he was unusually affected.
His face was much blanched and
his hands twitched convulsively.
When the Judge had finished, An
derson was taken into the dock and
soon after escorted to the Parish
Prison.

Gideon Welles Dead.
New York SUM-

The Hon. Gideon Welles died
last week at his residence IN Hart
ford, Connecticut, from the effects
of carbuncle. He had been con-
fined to the house about two
weeks. Mr.. lvelles was born in
Glastonbury, Connecticut, in July,
1902, and was, therefore, about 76
years of aye. He was of old New
England descent, his ancestors, in
the early days of the Connecticut
colony, having held positions of
trust and honor. He studied Law
under Judge Williams and Ellis
worth, and in 1926 became editor
and proprietor of the Hartford
Times, a Democratic newspaper.
He advocated the election OF Jack
son to the Presidency, and was a
member of the Legislature from
1927 until 1856. He afterward
held the Office of Comptroller of
Public Accounts, Postmaster of
Ha, tford, State Comptroller, and,
In 1863, chief of one of the bu-
reaus OF the avy Department.
He opposed the introduction Of
slavery INTO the new Territory, and
became identified with the Kepub-
lican party on its organization III
1855. He was chairman of the
Connecticut obligation AT the Chi
cago Convention In 1860. In the
exciting times of the spring OF
1851, President Lincoln chose him
to be Secretary of the Navy, and
he held that position throughout
the war, and until March 4, 1869.
Since that date he has been in PR
vate life. Mr.. Welles was liberal
contributor TO the press. Like
many other original Republicans,
MIR. Welles was alienated from the
party by the corruptions of Grunt's
administration, and in the recent
Presidential election he warmly
supported Tilden. In his liberal
contributions to the press, Mr..
Welles was very interesting.

which water is drawn as cold as
ice, is the invention of Californian.
Boiling water placed in any recep-

The faucet contains numerous small
tubes enclosed in large ones, and
between the outside of one and the
inside of the other certain chemi-
Gals are packed which produce the
desired effect.

GOOD P0R GRANT.

Grant parish has a name for
rowdyism and lawlessness among
persons at a distance, but we chal-
lenge comparison for good be-
havior with any parish in the
State. Save couple of beligerent
darkies, who engaged at fisticuff, in
the settlement of title to bottle
of bust-head, and one other put in
for contempt of courtly dignity, no
one has been lodged in Jail this
year At present the Jail is with
out an occupant, has been for two
weeks, and, from appearances, it Is
likely 70 remain SO for some time
to come. The laws are respected
10y all, and all are protected by the
laws. In fact, a pride is taken by
our citizens in the orderly conduct
of the parish, all of which is good
guaranty of its continuance.
All we want is to be let alone in
the management of our own con-
Germs. No fears need be held as
to the result. Parties who desire
to locate with us will be perfectly
satisfied to trust the protection we
can give to life and property, after
seeing for themselves. And when
once they have become fully aware
of this fact, and learn of the great
productiyeness of soil, mildn ess
and healthfulness of climate, and
the advantageous terms upon which
homes can be secured, it will not
be long before our community will
compare as favorably in thrift and
numbers and intelligence as it now
does in peace and quiet.

The New Pope.

A dispatch from London under
date of February Goth says: The
election of Leo XIII took place az
the Vatican yesterday, after mass
and the usual rites. The first tidal
lot WAS taken between 10 and ii
o'clock in the forenoon. At las
o'clock in the afternoon the smoke
of burning ballot paper was visible,
showing that the conclave had
voted, but that no candidate had
obtained the requisite majority.
This morning, however, when 10
smoke was seen, aud the first
brick was struck from the walled
window, at which single white
figure was momentarily seen to APP
pear, surrounded by a group of
cardinals robed in scarlet, all Rome
knew that new Pontif had been
chosen as successor of the late
Pope TX.
Then Cardinal Pecci, as Leo
XIII, was solmnly proclaimed as
the head of the Church, and the
news was at once flashed by tele-
graph throughout the world.
The custom Immediately after
the election of Pope is declared
in conclave is to seize tho newly
elected Pontif', who not unfre-
quently faints from the excitement
of the moment, and bear him hur-
riedly to the altar. Here his car
dnal's robes of scarlet are removed
and he is invested with the white
garments OF the Pope. One of the
Cardinals then goes to the door of
the chamber, and knocking upon it
announces to those without that an
election has been made. The door
is opened and the newly elected
head of the church energies with
the cardinals.
In appearance, the new Pope
strikes the beholder with a feeling
of reverence, and it is related of
him that there has not been, in the
Vatican for many years, a cham
berlain who has borne himself with
such dignity and grace. He has a
tall, thin, commanding figure, and
bis features recall those of Richie
heu,as handed down in old pictures.
They are full of intelligence, and it
can readily be seen that be is man
who thoroughly understands poll
tics. whether in temporal or spirit
ual affairs.
He has national twang that is |
altogether un-Italian, but it is said |
that it is, however, a voice that !
grows upon the listener. In bear
ing he carries himself with almost |
naughty dignity, and in this respect
resembles the late Pope in the
earlier years of his Ponti6cate. |
Despite all this outside appearance |
Of arris.ocratic reserve, it is said !!
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1878-03-02

that the new Pope, while maintain
ing the dignity of his high Office
outwardly, his inner life will. be
plain unpretending and unosten-
tatious.
In his early years he was fond Of
society, and used to be extremely
pertinacious in the number of ques-
tions he would ask, so eager was
he for information on all points Of
interest.

According 10 the New York Sun
the occupation of Constantinople
by the Russians was evidently an
event contemplated without appre-
sensive by leading English liberals,
Three weeks ago ex-Chancellor OF
Exchequer Lowe wrote: dear
sir-I am of opinion that the occu-
patton of Constantinople by Russia
would neither injure our trade nor
endanger India, and l should be
adverse to our going to war on that
ground" The Bishop of Manches-
ter, speaking at town meeting of
citizens on Jan. Is, said: "Mr.
Cross in his former speech had said
that there were four British inter-
ests which England must not allow
TO be touched-The possessions of
Constantinople, the free passage of
the Dardanells, the Suez canal, and
her dominions in India. He con-
fessed that he could never go with
the whole statement of Mr.. Cross,
for it was almost a necessity in the
course of events that Russia should.
if victorious, either occupy Con
stantinople or appear before its
walls. They had the pledged word
of the Gar that, even if for military
purposes it might be necessary for
his armies to occupy Constantine
pie, he had not the least intention
of retaining it. 1t further seemed
to him (the speaker that in regard
to the Dardanells, no water way
should be closed against any power.
The only vital interest which con
cerned England was the Suez canal,
md no one would maintain that to
BE- in dsnger.'

A Sacramento dispatch of Feb
ruary % says: The leyee on An
doris Island, in Delta river, broke
yesterday; that island and Brannis
Island, which is connected with it
by dikes, is dooed. Yesterday af-
ternoon the levee on Grand Island
also broke and the island is food
ed. These three islands contain
about 10000 acres, mostly in q
high state of cultivation. The high
bank land along the rivers is usu-
ally devoted to orchards and vege-
table farms, while the interior of
the broad expanse is devoted to
wheat raising. The damage must
be immense; it is estimated by the
Sacramento correspondent at from
s15,000,000 to 20,000'00O. This,
however, is undoubtedly an exag-
geration.

Gen. Crook, who is in the Indian
Territory with Gen. Sheridan, will
return to Omaha in few days.
He has issued orders for the pre-
paration of an expedition into the
country north of the Black Hills.
He will leave Cheyenne in a short
time for a campaign against the
hostile Sioux who, some time since,
left Red Cloud Agency. 1t is Gen.
Crooks idea to strike them before
their ponies have fatted upon the
new grass. No doubt is entertain
ed that these Indians mean war
upon the settlers, and it is believed
to be wise to anticipate their move
ments.

Dreaming Iolanthe" in butter, that
was on exhibition in the Women 8
Pavilion, at the Centennial. Mrs.
Brooks is of slight figure, very soft
voice and delicately refined fea-
lures. She says she has made her
Iolapthe several hundred times in
butter, and is now putting it into
marble; and if she can only i'm
press the character of her subject
upon the mind of the world, she

the fact. This is Mrs. Brooks first

We are having the finest of wea-
Their here. Nearly all the days are
warm and sunny; only very light
wraps are used, and parasols are a
necessity. The leaves seem scarce
" to have fallen, but the buds are
already swelling for new foliage. 1
saw a maple all red with blossoms
this week. But such bright, warm
weather at this season is consider
ed more unhealthy than snappish
cold, which, the doctors say, freezes
out the malaria. People enjoy the
milduess, though, and make the
most of 1T.
Society is at its height of gayety.
Every day scores of first houses
are thrown open for receptions, and

with the times often make from 50

at the end of the line III the re-

Her face is neither plain nor hand

attract second glance in cornpa-

position.
The great event at the Capital
this week has been the presenta-
ton to the Government of Carpen-
ter's great painting by Mrs. Eliza
beth Thompson, of New York. On
some accounts, it was indeed one
of the most remarkable occurrences
and entirely without precedent in
anything ever witnessed in our
halls of Congress. The picture
is signing the Proclamation of
Emancipation and represents
Lincoln and his Cabinet, Stanton,
Chase, Blair, Smith, Bates and Sc
ward. The presentation was made
on the anniversary of Lincoln's
birthday, and the death of the last
member of his Cabinet save one.
All the figures in the picture are
of men now dead, excepting Blair.
The extraordinary part of the en-
tire was that Alex. II. Stevens,
Vice President of the late Confed-
eracy, made one of the speeches.
1t was a grand sight, and all the
old veteran said was good. He
eulogized Lincoln, calling him his
firm friend Notwithstanding the

existing between them. He spoke
