have for many years celebrated such oc-
casions. These began long ago with the
golden wedding of Mr.. and Mrs. Moses
True, then followed at intervals the
| silver weddings of eight brothers and
one sister. the children of this aged
couple. and now Mrs. Cummings is the
second of long line of grandchildren to
celebrate in the same way. There was
handsome display of presents, among
them silver tea-service from relatives
in Massachusetts. About forty sat down
to an elegant supper, after which there
were games, and a general good time,
which lasted into the small hours of the
night. Those present from out of town
| town were Lewis True of Everett, Mass,
VIM. True, Mrs. Edward True and Mrs.
| Annie Newcome of Maiden, Mass, and

Shooting Scrapc.

A little after six o'clock Sunday
morning last the citizens of this
town were startled by the discharge
of fire arms in quick succession.
The shooting was between MIR.
Titus j. Gardemal who is engage
in the swapping business, and
Mr. Adrien Roy Of the upper part
of the parish, who we believe, is a
gambler and politician. The
shooting took place at the corner
of Main and Port streets; Garde-
maj fired one, the first shot, and
and Roy fired 3 or 4 shots; fortu-
nately no one was hurt, neither
the combattants nor the spectators
who happened TO be witnesses to
the firing. Though some of them
saw the beginning of the shooting
they did not see the end, as they
made haste to put themselves in
safety. After the shooting, how
ever, there gathered a big crowd
on the scene and every one in the
excitement gave his version of the
affair, some of whom made them
selves stupidity prominent in their
foolish, absurd and hatred express
sions.
The police officer happened to be
near by and rushed to the com
battants to try and prevent the
shooting, but they were too quick,
before he could interfere the fir
ing had begun, He arrested Gar
DENIAL and made an affidavit
against Roy and both were
brought before Justice DeBlsnc,
and put under peace bond.
The breakers of the peace were
not brought before Mayor Flem-
ing for the reason that he has not
yet been commissioned as Mayor.
until then, he cannot inflict pun
ishment by fine and Imprisonment.
The shooting between Gardemal
and Roy was the result of a diff
Guilty they had the night previous
when they were separated.
Gardemal is a man who is quite
wild when under the influence of
liquor, and Roy is considered a
bad and dangerous character.

Unfortunately Insane.

A few days ago, our young
friend and townsman, Fernand
Clement, who is 26 years of age,
began to act in a strange manner
with his relatives and friends; and
ut times they were even surpris-
ed at his acts, but they soon came
to the painful conclusion that the
poor boy was out of his mind and
showed unmistakable SYMPTOMS of
insanity. The very day that his
relatives saw he was reall Y insane,
they sent him to New Orleans in
charge of his brother-in-law. Mr.
Desire Boucvalt, to consult with
some physicians if it was possible
to do anything for him.
We understand that all the me-
dical experts consulted, agree that
his case in almost hopeless one,
that no medical attention could
do him any good, and the best
thing to do with him would be to
take him to the country and give
him distraction and hard work.
The physicians as well as his
friends are of the opinion that
disappointment in his love affairs
is one of the causes that unba-
lanced his mind.
While at his hotel with his
brother-in-law, at JOG Bourbon
street, New Orleans, Clement got
hold of the revolver of some of
the boarders and attempted sui
eide by shooting himself in the
head. He did not accomplished
his purpose, however, only inflict-
ing a slight scalp wound. The
ambulance was summoned, came
to his assistance and dressed his
wound. He was then placed I'M
der arrest by a police officer who
lodged him in the police station
under charge of insanity.
Clement was a good, honest Ia
borious man. He had started
bakery here few weeks ago with
his brother-in-law, Mr.. Chas. Gui-
rard; he attend to his work in
Observation-Disclosures and had in
that short time succeeded in bull
ding a good business, which is
still conducted in the name of
Guirard and Clement.
His disease came almost sud-
denly and his relatives and numer-
Gus friends were 2rieved to learn
of his unfortunate condition.
