HE MUST ESWER.
Edward N. Field Indicted for
Grand Larceny.
He Is Arrested and Removed from
the Asylum - Officials Think
His insanity Sham.
Placed UNDER ARREsr.


NEw YORK, Dec 10 -Edward NJ.
Field is in the tolls of the law. He
was arrested in private insane asy-
lum near White Plains, n Y, Monday
evening by three detectives and
brought to this city and locked up in
police headquarters. Field was taken
from the asylum on warrant which
charged HIM with grand larceny in
the first degree. The warrant had
been drawn up by District Attorney
NicolI and had the signature of Judge
MARITIME of the court of general ses-
sions. 1t charged Edward NJ. Field
with appropriating securities and col
lateral property of the firm of Field,
Lindley, Wiechers 4 Co. for his own
personal use.
Doesn't Think Him Insane.
From the orders given by the district
attorney it would seem that he placed
no credence in the story that Field was
so insane as to be irresponsible for his
acts When the detectives arrived at
the asylum at s o'clock Or. Granger
refused to deliver over his patient to
them. lie finally consented, however,
and informed Field, who went with the
officers in a closed carriage to thu
depot, and was brought to this city.
Can't Avoid Prosecution.
District Attorney Nicoll gives the
following statement: I'm view of the
repeated charges made in the press
deemed it my duty to act without await
ing a complaint to be made by some of
the parties interested and said to have
been defrauded Mr.. Field may be In
sane; If he is it must be proved as de-
Tense TO the Indictment in the usual
way. No man ever charged with
crime can avoid prosecution by being
committed to private insane asylum
Field Indicted.
Field was indicted by the grand jury
shortly after o'clock p. IN. ON the
charge of grand larceny. lie was
brought down from police headquarters
to the district attorneys office He
spent the night in Inspector
Byrnes' museum, and, according
to the inspector, slept pretty well.
Nevertheless he presented a very
careworn appearance. His face was
Iehidl hhbig pdlc duu He httutSu To
fully realize his position, notwith-
standing the reports of his insanity.
The indictment, which was found
under sections 52S and $50 OF the penal
code, charges the misrepresentation of
fifty shares Of Union Pacific, Denver
and Gulf railway stock of the par value
of 81 900 each
Terrible shock.
Mr.. Cyrus W. Field was notified of
his sons arrest, and the shock was a
terrible one lie had just begun 10
rally from the first sickness, and It is
feared that there will be a relapse,
which, in Mr. Fields weakened con.
dition, would almost certainly end his
life

AT A STANOSTILL.
Business Stagnant at Brazil, Ind. Owing
to the Strike.

Business Stagnant at Brazil, Ind. Owing
to the Strike.
Brazil, Ind, Dec. 16.-The operators
and miners are not the only sufferers
by the strike. Business in Brazil and
in all the small towns in the country is
at standstil The merchants are do
ing little if any cash business. The
operators of the mines in the immedi-
ate vicinity of this city pay out S25, 600
every two weeks when the miners are
at work. For over six weeks they have
not paid out a dollar, and in city of
5000 or 1000 inhabitants the effect of
the withdrawal of SO much money from
circulation can easily be imagined.
Traffic on the Chicago and Indiana coal
road has practically ceased, as it de-
ponds almost entirely on the mines for
its business. 1t handled, up to the time
of the strike, $50 cars of coal a day, at
the rate of one dollar ton. Each car
carries almost twenty tons. The depots
at Brazil bear the appearance of desert
ed places of former activity. The clerks
seemed to have locked up and gone
away for the want of something to do
A section boss of the C. & !. c. and
Big Four lines near Coal Bluff said
that the section bosses of the former
road to the mum her of 200 had been
dismissed while still larger crowd of
trainmen were waiting for the strike
to terminate in order that there might
be a demand for their services.

HIS TELL-TALE TEETH.
Complete Identification of Henry L. Nor
cross as the Dead Bomb Thrower.

Complete Identification of Henry L. Nor
the Dead Bomb Thrower.
New YORK, Dec. 16.-Dr. Edward
Durham made an examination of the
teeth and jaws of the dead dynamiter.
His description of them tallieS exactly
with that given by DIR. Coggins,
of Boston, of the teeth of Henry
L. Norcross. This makes the ideniifi-
cation of the bomb thrower as young
Norcross a certainty. The coroner re-
ports that the brain of the bomb
thrower is that of a lunatic, The
brain weighed more than the average,
but was abnormally distorted.
The parents of Norcross identified
the head at the morgue Monday night
Coroner MESSENGER had charge of the
identification and accepted it as com
plete. The scenes during the time
that the parents were with the
dead were very affecting, The sor-
rowing mother knelt down on the
hard floor at the hospital office and laid
her head upon the forehead of her dead
son. She was about to kiss the fore
head when an attendant gently drew
her back. She became excited and
said fiercely: Il wish l had come here
alone. must kiss my boy"
In a sworn statement the mother
says in reference to the letter found in
young Norcross' desk that it was not
dated. 1t began: Dear Mother: am
going to New York to get 81, 200, COO
If successful / shall return If not,
shall kill myself" He signed his name
in full, Henry l.. Norcross.

1t is gratifying to note the improve
ments going on in sidewalk repairing
in the town. The Mayor has had served
notices upon forty-tive property owners
to repair banquettes in front of their
premises and quite number have COM
piled with the requirements of the ordi-
nance. In one or two instances, the
work is being done by the corporation
at the expense of the owners and if they
refuse to foot the bill, the claim will be
enforced through the courts. 1t is right
that the authorities take q determined
stand in the enforcement Of this law.
We commend the above, from the
New Iberia Enterprise, to our Town So
lons.. We have similar ordinance
here and it tshould be enforced or repeal
ed. We say it should be enforced and
that promptly, for some of our side
walks are positive nuisances and would
be disgrace to a one-horse, back

fort was made to improve them. Will

The Parish Printing.

The Police Jury, at its meeting Oh
the 18th, instructed it's President to
make arrangements for the publication
OF the proceedings of the January meet
ing and other newspaper advertising,
pending the selection of a new official
journal. That official elected to call
for sealed proposals for the purpose, to
be opened on Tuesday evening. The
only bid received was from the St. Lam
dry Clarion, the anti-lottery newspaper
recently established here, and that Of
fered to do the work required "free of
charge" Besides the proceedings pro-
per, which will occupy two or more
columns and be published once, the bid
includes five insertions of an ordinance
which will probably occupy three COL
umps. No better evidence than this is
required to sustain our charge that the
managers of that paper are actuated in
this matter by no higher motive than
spite against us.
We declined to bid, claiming that the
Jury is bound to allow us to finish the
year began October 1st, 1890; and that
even if the year ended Dec. 31st, 1890,
as claimed by Sheriff Fontenot and a
majority of the jury present at the
meeting, another year was begun subse-
quent to that date--begun in the usual
manner, viz. by the mere handing in
by parish officials and the insertion in
the paper of "public printing g'--for on
the Sd of January, 1891, we began the

Referring to the danger of a food

next spring the N. O. City Item says:
Had Gov. Nichols accepted Mr.. Nor
ris's offer of two millions cash in ad-
vance for levee purposes and promptly
begun work Herewith, Louisiana at
least, could have been safeguarded
against the apprehended danger. The
delay in the construction of the levees
which have been built has immensely
added to the risk that they may not
withstand the coming floods.
Another serious point is the unrelia-
bility OF dependence on the national
greatly impair the useiiulness of what
work has been done, but there is no
certainty that further appropriations
will be made to complete and maintain
it. In fact there is grave doubt of the
present Congress furnishing additional
means for the purpose.
