A Young White Man Flog.
ged by the Regulators.

| The recent trial of the law breakers in
Lafayette which was expected by all. 10
De so vigorous as to put an end to law
lessness, but the public was greatly dis
appointed at the result. II was indeed a
farce and a big joke and the turn affairs
have taken i'll that parish, will tend to
perpetuate lawlessness and crime.
The following Lafayette special to the
Plcaynne, dated Oct. 2Sth tells of another
outrage committed upon a white man:
Sheriff BrOussard left to-day about
noon for VermilliOn parish TO make Sc
veral arrests of parties charged with hav-
ing waylaid and flogged, near RoyvilIe,
III this parish, ayOung white man named
oeverin PrimeaGx.
Ilie facts OF the case, as near as poSSi-
bic, are these: Young Primeaux, son of
one OF The staunchest and most weil-to-
do farmers of NermilliOn, lives with his
father at bayou Tigre, and although mar
rled to an eStimable young lady. allowed
himself to be led astray from the path of
virtue by the seductiOns of some Young
slrene living i'll the same neighborhood.
After result was an elopement. After re-
naming away for while he returned
and on his promising 10 do penance by
remaining strictly at home for six month
and behave himself The regulators agreed
10 lnfiict no harm and forgive him.
Whether PrimeauY kept his promise
does not appear, but certain it is that
last Friday morning about 3 o'clock,
while on his way TO Lafayette with
load of fish, he WAS halted in the public
highway hear ROyyille by band of
armed men who commanded him to get
down from his cart, as they had some
business To transact with him. He com
piled and the party proceeded to admins
t'r a severe caStigatiOn using a heavy
strap for the purp Se.
The unfortui ate young man reported
the outrage 10 the authorities in Able
Vile, and District Attorney Smedes filed
an affidavit for assault and battery be-
fore Judge Edwards on the 26th against
the following parties: Dupre Prlmeaux.
Lastle BouGkr. Homer Suites. Etienne
Leblanc, Luke Lcchausse, Jerin Leblanc
Dr., OlidOn ComrauX. Augustin COmeaux
and several other parties who may yet be
discovered.
The affiGavitS were to-day placed in
Sheriff BroI-sari'S hands and he, accom-
panied 10y Deputy c. II. Bradley, immedi-
ately started ont to make the arrests.
The sheriff =, ill proceed to Vermillion
where he will be joined by the sheriff of
that parish and five deputies to aid in
capturing the guilty parties tonight.
Some trouble is anticipated, as the par
ties implicat i openly boasted that they
the act in Lafayette parish,
because they were certain no jury in
the parish W, uld either indict or convict |
them. They have threatened the life of |
any who preferred charges against them,
and feel perfect immunity from the pen
llties of the law.
The sheriff will probably land his pri- |
'Oners in Jail here some time tomorrow.

A Candid Judge.

A newly elected justice Of the peace

livered the following chaHe to the jury
the other day: Gentlemen Of the jury
Charging jury is new business to
me, as this is my first case, as well as
myself; you have also heard what the
learned cOunsels have said II you believe
what the learned counsel for the plain
tiff has told you, your verdict will be for
the plaintiff; but il, on the other hand,
you believe what the defendants cOun-
sci has told you, then you give a verdict
for the defendant. But il you are like
me, and don't believe what Of them said.
the MIL be blessed il know what you

Three murders were committed in
CatahOula parish last week. and num-
ber Of people have been whipped, ordered
out of the parish and otherwise wronged.
This it appears, is not a race issue as
white as well as blacks are chastised and
the perpetrators of these crimes are of
both races. 1t is either political move,
or. criminals banded together to do thier
mischiefs. The honest and law abiding
neOple of the parish have organized law
and order association to stamp out the
evil in its incepiency.

To the Front Again.

Says a gossip in the Graphic: ran
across George NJ. Pinncy, of San
Francisco, recently, just back from
London, where he placed gold mine
and is starting for Alaska to inspect
an island of gold quartz which he has
an option to buy in London. He has
formed connection which is some.
thing of novelty. 1t is the organ
izatlon Of some 40 or so tradesmen
who have combined for the purpose
of developing gold mine properties.
The company was formed at Pinney's
suggestion, and although there is
some doubt about acquiring property
in Alaska under the alien law, they
think there is way to get around
the law and still set their money at
work. When talking about London
Pinney said: The spirit of specula.
ton is greater than l have ever known
it. Any enterprise which is fairly
presentable on its merits with large
speculative side to it, is eagerly taken
up. The English are rushing into
South Africa and Mexico, just now,
but any field in which they can make
money is inviting to them"

Profitable Watch Manufacturing,

AT the annual meeting OF the Wal.
than Watch Company, in Boston last
week, it was voted to increase the
capital stock of the company by
100000, making tue total capital
$4,000, 1000. A cash dividend of SO
per cent. was also declared. The
treasurer of the company, in explain
ing the matter, said that the company
had surplus of $2,OOO,0OO above its
capital. The capital stock had been
increased to the extent of the cash
dividend, and those of the stockhold.
ers who wished could take the cash
they received in dividends and pur.
chase new stock at par in pro rata
proportion to what they already held.
1t was not stock dividend. The
other 100000 surplus would be
used in carrying on the business Of
the company. There would be no
additions to the works on the head of
the increase in stock. In 1865, when
the capital stock was 100000, a
dividend Of $50 per cent. was made
and the stock increased to t76O, 900.
In 1880 dividend Of 100 per cent
was made and the capital Increased
to 81 600, 900, and in 1885 the stock
was increased $4,000 for which the
stockholders paid.

A DASTARDLY CRIME.
Attempt to Murder Superintendent Price
and Geo. W. Peltier.

| ana GeO. W. PeItier.
Tusoarora New Times Review. 2srd instI
A dastardly attempt at assassina-
ton was made upon Superintendent,
Price and Geo. w. Peltier abou,
half-past 2 o'clock this morning, by
exploding dynamite under their bed
rooms. The first explosion took
place under the corner of Mr.. Prices
bedroom, blowing up the wood shed
and wrecking the furniture inside the
building, and shaking that gentleman
up considerably. About two minutes
later the powder under Mr.. Peltier's
room exploded. 1t was here that the
greatest damage was done. Nearly
the whole side of the house being
torn out, the beadstead broken to
pieces and the whole interior of the
room wrecked, and Mr.. Peltier thrown
out of bed.
Whoever fred the blast pust have
been pretty we'll acquainted with the
surroundings and also the interior OF
the rooms as the charges were placed
nearly or under the beds of both
gentlemen. That under Mr.. Peltier's
was probably the largest as the fuse
found there was about 16 feet long
while that at Mr.. Prices was consid,
cradle shorter.
The only theory advanced as to how
the parties escaped with their lives is
that the force of the explosion was
down and that the heavy spring mat
tresses broke the conclusion.
There is no clew except that Mr..
Peltier was warned by q party a
month or two ago that an attempt
would be made on his life, but no at
was paid to the warning.
The superstition is that it is the work
of hired assassin.
Mr.. Price is the principal mining
superintendent Of Tuscarora. Nh.
Peltier is merchant, and keeps the
store where the men employed by Mr..
Price are compelled to buy their
goods.-Ep. TINES

he put quietus on the hellish work

in Idaho he has things pretty I.uch
his own way. Now that he is APP

in sounding praises to his name and
the whole Territory is happy over his

it must be because he is too busy to
