"A decision of much practical in
terest touching the rights of GENE
tary lot owners has been rendered
by Judge Cullen, in Brooklyn, N. Y.
He holds that the authorities of Cy.
press Hills Cemetery have the right
to prescribe reasonable regulations
for the construction of monuments
and tombstones within its grounds,
and that owners of lots are bound to
conform to these regulations. The
court goes further and expresses the
opinion that the authorities may
have the power to require the con,
struction to be done under the super.
vision Of one Of their agents. But
they cannot compel the owner to
have the work done by men employ
ed by them, nor even by men whom
they may designate. Every lot.own.
er has the right to employ work
men of his own selection-provided,
of course, they are competent--to
prepare and erect a monument or
stone, and the cemetery authorities,
saws Judge Cullen, should not be
permitted to interfere with the work,
except to the extent Of seeing that
it is properly done in compliance
with the cemetery rules.

A BRUTAL MURDER.

On Saturday night there occurred
in this Parish one of those horrible
murders that are likely to occur in
any community, but which are cal
cuIated to excite sentiments of hor'
ror and dismay whenever they dc
happen.
A young man, by name Richard
Turner, a brother-in law Of our es'
teemed fellow.ci.izen, Mr.. James NJ
Armstrong, and who kept a store on
Bayou Robert, was returning to his
store about IL o'clock on Saturday
night 10 compasy with another man
and just as they got out Of thei'
buggy a shot from double barreled
shot gun was fred by some one, 9
colored man, who was lurking around
the store house, and young Turner
fell riddled with buckshot and died
instantly.
The murderer ran off at the time
but as soon as our energetic and Ell
cient Sheriff, Mr.. D. C. Paul, heard
of the affair, he went to the scene
and arrested one Bob Farrar, whom
the circumstances strongly point tc
as the murderer. He is now in jai
anu will have fsir trial.
We commend our Sheriff for biz
promptness, and we hope to see the
guilty party, whoever he may he
punished as such a dastardly crime
merits. 4

SOME of the papers are common
ting on the fact that so many young
men are running away just previous
to the time set for their weddings.
The Philadelphia Times has an edi.
torial on the subject, and suggests
that the fact arises from the boys
discovering that they are about to
be married. not from love, but for
the purpose Of being worked to
death to keep the prospective wives
in luxury and idleness. Still, it is
extremely ungallant in the Young
men to first raise their intended's
hopes of ease and luxury go high,
only to rudely dash them down. It
is too utterly cruel.
