The Indictment of Ira Zimmerman
by the grand jury and the publication
of the fact by the BAzoo yesterday
afternoon was the chief topic of con.
versation last night and this morning.
Mr.. Zimmerman was arrested about 4
O'Clock yesterday afternoon at his
place of business, taken to the sherif's
office and at once gave bond, on both
charges in the sum of $1,000, with his
father, Samuel Zimmerman and Nor
ris Harter, of the firm # thinner.
man and Harter as surities.
The charges on which Zimmerman
is indicted are arson in the first and
Thru degrees. and the punishment is
tenn In the penitentiary. He is
accused with having accomplished or
having aided in accomplishing, the
destruction by fire of Bowman &
Crews laundry September Sth, 1890,
and Bowman IL Dorn's laundry on
January ooh 1891.
The clue upon which the arrest was
made is the existence of a number of
letters sent TO the people interested in
tie laundries burned, warning them
TO quit the laundry business. The
handwriting is said by experts to
closely resemble Mr.. Zimmerman's.
Other evidence of a more damaging
character is also said to be in the hands
OF the prosecuting attorney.
Mr.. Zimmerman was seen by
BA zoo representative shortly after his
arrest. He was considerably excited
aud did not care to talk Of the crime
with which lie is charged. He said
he was afraid To talk for publication
In regard TO his defense as he had not
yet retained his lawyer and did not
want TO commit himself without leg |
advice. When asked what he was go
ing TO do, said: 81 havh't The least
idea in the world how / will get |
out of the scrape," then seeing the
popularity or his answer he fastened +.
to say, "my lawy r, you know will
arrange those things i,r me-"
Mr.. Bowman I'll / not care to talk
about the matter and the officials are
reticeDt as they do not want to give
the defense any more ground than
possible upon which to work prefer
ing 10 let the mass OF the testimony
come out at the trial. The case will
come up sometime in August to which
ine the court .journed yesterday
md Will doubtless prove a very inter-
sting cause.
Mr.. Zimmerman announced this
morning that he has retained the SER
'ices of Hon. w. ID. Steele to defend
i'm in all the cases against him. Mr..
steele refuses to state what the line of
License would be, saying that he had
,iven the matter but little thought.

W. ID. Cramer and Mary E. 10

W. ID. Cramer and Mary E. John
son are two young residents of the
southeastern part of the county who
a,e not easily discouraged. There has
long been a desire in the breast of
each to be united 10 the relation of
man and wife. They are younger than
those upon whom the law smiles, and
their path was very rocky on Satur-
day when Recorder Pilkington denied
to them the much coveted license.
This morning, however, they came
up smiling and produced the written
consent of the parents of both. The
license was granted and they returned
home with the belief that there is
only one world and two people in it. +"

The Supreme Court oil the State
decided the Lottery case on Monday.
The decision is in favor of the Lot

amendment to be voted on, is to go
before the people in 1892.
Justice Watkins was the organ OF
the court and Chief Justice Bermndez
and Justice MeEnery concarred. The

REFINERY Y

A writer in the Sugar Bowl. under
date of Lamourie, April 18th, has this
to say of our central sugar refinery:
We had rousing mass meeting in
on the 10th, iu the inter
est of central sugar factory. A
company has been organized, and the
general impression is that we will
hane the thing running by November
next. Almost the eutire cane crop of
the Parish could be bought at about
81 per ton. on board the cars, notwith-
standing the fact that there are some
splendid open kettle plants in the Pa
rish in frst-class condition. 1t is ru-
mored that one of our largest plan
ters, Mr. j. E. Matthews, who made
last season about 100000 pounds OF
sugar, is offering his present crop at
81. Chaseland has land sufficient to
turn out 10000 tons cane per year, in
addition to all the feed stufS needed
on the place.
All of these changes cause most OF
us who haqe sbent cur childhood years
among the cane fields of dear old Ra-
pides, at times to almost regret the
changes going on. No more splendid
bright moments spent in anticipation
Of the rolling season; the fat, black
sleek "Cufee," with his never ending
fund of song and joyous hilarity, IN.
der the. old, well-lighted and warmed
cane shed-all these must give place
to what the world calls progress. Sc
mote it be RAPIDEs.
