handsome and popular fellow-citizen, Mr.
j. Tras. Landry, to Miss Olympic Braud Of
New Orleana, which was celebrated at the
Church of the Annunciaticn in that CITY

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS

On Monday last thirty-four decisions il
cases pending before the Supreme Cour
| OF Louisiana were rendered and read
among the number being Judgment or
| the appeal in the case of the Board of Ward
| ems of the Congregation of the Roman
Catholic Church of Ascension Us. Right
Rev. N. j. ,Perche, Archbishop, and Rev.
L. 4. Ceuppens, his agent. The main point
| at issue, as our readers will remember, was
as to the right of District Judge Cheevers
to revoke the order of recusation which he
granted when the first proceedings in the
controversy were instituted. Justice Fen
ner, who prepared and announced the de-
cision of the Supreme Court, takes the
ground that
Appeal lies from the order of the Judge a quo
resembling his former voluntary recusation
against The protest of a party, and after the
recusatlon has peen acted upon such order of
resclsslon is Illegal. Judgment reversed.
This ruling confirms the position of the
Wardens, who were the appellants, and I'M
less reversed on rehearing, its effect will
be to have the further proceedings in the
case conducted before Judge od hoe,
to which position Judge Cheevers had ap-
pointed F. B. Earhart, Esq, of the Ascen-
sion bar. OF course the decision of the
Supreme Court has no reference to the
merits of the suit.
Another Of the cases decided on Monday
Is one IN which many of our local renders
take considerable interest-the criminal
libel suit OF the State ec ret Rev. Cyprien
Venissat Us. D. Bienvenu ct cl., wherein DR..
Blenyenu was convicted in the District
Court of Assumption. The decision in
thus case was also rendered by Justice
Fenner, who says: sin prosecutions for
libel, proof of publication, ibelous and
unauthorized On its face, makes out a
p'7haa facie case for the State. establishes
a presumption Of legal malice. The bur
den of establishing Justification is then
thrown upon defendant.

ish committees have ratified the proposed

other business the body will resolve itself
into the new parish executive committee,

years. The favor with which the plan has
been received by both factions indicates
that it will meet with an almost unanimous
Endorsement and that the Republicans of
Ascension will heal their long standing
differences and gointo tho impending cam
paign with a united organization and but |
one ticket. Notices of the meeting of the |

The river has been rising steadily all the
week; it came up an inch and half las
night. After reaching a greater altitude
than that of 1883, the terrible flood in the
Ohio and tributary streams has begun to
decline. Great damage and suffering and
some loss of life have been caused by the
overflow, put herculean efforts for the re-
lief of the victims are being made and it is
believed the worst is over.

| A MEETING of twenty-five active young
men, most of them connected with the fire
| department of the village, was held on Mon
day evening to consider the adviSability o
| organizing a hose company. The question
| is a natural result of the introduction of the
new system of water-works, and one which
| demands serious consideration. Prelimi
nary steps were taken for the organization
| of company and it was unanimously agreed
| to perfect the organization on Friday eve
| ming if sufficient encouragement is received
| at the hands of our citizens. A committe,
of five was appointed to solicit pecuniar,

| a complete outfit at great reduction upol
| the usual cost, and we believe it is for th
| interest of the village that some action b
| taken in the matter now. The gentlemen
who have brought the question into consid
