The town Of Thibodaux was thrown
into a terrible shock when the news
r. ached us by telegram that Young
Fleetwood, who was employed on the
Southern Pacific r. II. as a brakeman
on a gravel train, had been run over
by the train. Immediately the sad
news was softly broken to the family,
and Dir. Fleetwood at once went to
Schriever on the branch train which
was placed at his disposal. Some time
after the train reached SchrIever, a
special train from Morgan City, came
with Young Fleetwood. On eXamina-
| ,ion, it was found that his left leg wa:
mangled above the knee, and reduced
! almost t 0 a pulp, and also q portion o
lis right foot. This sad accident hap
pened at Bayou Ramos, in the Parish

Fleetwood was putting on the brake

over him, and MANNED him as abov.

The branch train took him to Thi-
bodaux, but death resulted not long
after it reached Thibodaux, long
enough, however, for Father Menard
to administer the last sacraments of
the church.
Young Fleetwood "a q native OF
Thibodaux. Entered school in his ma
tive town at the age Of 5 years, and re-
manned in the Tlibodaux College until
he was Is years of age, at which time
he was sent to st. Stanislaus College,
Bay st. Louis, Miss, where he le-
manned three years.
He then attended the A. S.. Leche's
Graded School in New Orleans for two
years. Thence he attended school at
Fordham College, near New York city
for n year. He then studied teleg-
raphy, and finally perfected himself
in the profession under Mr.. C.. w.
Summers.
Telegraphy, however, did not seem
to suit him. The height of his ambi-
ton was to become a conductor, and
this was the reason why, although he
had been begged o to do it by his
closest and dearest friends, he aban-
doned his profession and went to brak-
ing, which resulted in the terrible ac-
cldent causing his untimely death. No
doubt, If he had followed the advice OF
his friends, he would have been spared
for many years TO come, and have
been a solace to both father and moth
er IN their coming old age.
The funeral services took place in
st. JosepA's Church on last Saturday
evening at 5 p. M, amid a large con
course Of friends and acquaintances of
the sorrow stricken family, and his
last remains deposited in the cemetery
of the church. Eternal rest to his soul.

FREE-COINAGE DEFEATED.

Debate on the silver bill ended in
the House of Representative at
Washington at o'clock P. NJ. ON the
afternoon of March gath, when a vote
was ordered. Mr.. Bland and the
friends Of free silver coinage expected
u majority of at least 20 in it's favor,
but to their surprise and the surprise
of almost every one, the vote was 14S
to 148. After various motions and
roll-calls the House adjourned after
midnight.
The bill was to come up again on
Tuesday. In the meantime both sides
had sent kilograms to absent members,
urging them to be present. The silver
men hoped then to have majority,
but to their disappointment Speaker
Crisp, of the Committee on Rules, re-
fused to bring in gag law rule, closing
debate at specified time and forcing
a vote, unless majority of Demo-
cratic members asked for it, Free
coinage men like Breckenridge of Ken
lucky, and others, would not ask for
the application of this rule, against
which they had so earnestly contend
ed in the last Congress. 1t was clear,
therefore, that the bill could not be
passed as long as filibustering against
it could be maintained, and the sub
ject was allowed to rest.
Senator Stewart, Republican, has
given notice that he will call up his
free silver coinage bill in the Senate
next Monday, but that body is not
likely to pass it.

A bill was recently before Congress
that was of great importance to people
along the shores of the Chesapeake
Bay and its tributaries. 1t gave the
right to any citizen of the United
States to invade bays, sounds, rivers
and inlets of any State to pursue men
baden and mackerel fishing. The bin
was referred to the House Committee
on Fisheries, by which it was referred
to a subcommittee, of which Hon. Her
man Stump was chairman. These
committees reported it unfavorably,
but the parties interested now want a
bill passed to allow the U. s. Supreme
Court to decide upon the constitution
ality of their scheme. There is said
to be little likelihood of their securing
the privilege they want. If such a
bill were to pass the menhaden fishers
would come into our waters and under
the pretence of catching these fish
would sweep out fish of all kinds and
destroy our oyster beds by dragging
their heavy nets over them. The
menhaden, alewives or bug fish, as
they are called in different localities,
are caught in purse-nets, which take
an entire school. The oil is extracted
and the refuse, being rich in ammonia,
is sought for by fertilizer manufacture
ers. If allowed to come in Bush or
Gunpowder rivers or the head waters
of the bay, for instance, at their
pleasure, they would take all the fish,
destroy the duck shooting and pay no
taxes to the State.

A CARD.
TO the Editor AEois and Lnteklioe1cer


DEAR SIR: / see my name i'll your issue of
the 18th inst. in connection with the recent
trouble at Salem Evangelical Church My
sense OF truth and honor impels me to make II
few corrections that your readers may have Il
knowledge of the facts in the case.
The intelligent public has been aware for
some years past that amentable agitation
exists in the Church of the Evangelical ASsOci-
alton. The causes of the trouble are mainly
along the line of government and administra-
tive church polity.
The statement in your issue referred to that
seven ca of the conferences seeded in 1890
from 1.-The regular and orthodox body" is UNI
true, and has never been proven by competent
witnesses; nor has the orthodoxy of any num-
Der of conferences ever, to my knowledge been
in question.
The conferences which are charged with Sc
cession hold the discipline or constitution of
the church to be above the will of any one
man, while the opposite party regard the will
of Il Bishop as above the discipline and organic
law of the church.
The lay membership of the two factions in
the United States, Notwithstanding the dispro-
portion of conferences belonging to bothJ is
almost equal in numbers, and while the writer
is a member of one of the conferences stigma
tiled as having seeded, he is not conscious of
having withdrawn from the church of his
choice.
1t is stated in your issue of last week that Mr..
Philip l. Hildt in the month of February, 1892,
objected in conference to my re-aSSignment us
pastor. 1t should also have been stated i'll the
same connection that the same conference
Quarterly conference of Jarrettsvillc circuit,
q resolution, with but one dissenting vote, re-
questing the annual conference to re-assgn
the writer, and pledged him their support,
upon which the annual conference re-assigned
him. | therefore entered upon my duties as
pastor of Salem congregation, under the disci-
pline, usages and authority of the church, and
not as falsely reported-after the expiration of
my term.
wish to say further that prior to my con-
ference session, March Sd, 1922 the Salem
congregation never objected to my being re-
assigned; if so, they never made such objec-
ton known to the writer. The clandestine eff
forts put forth to secure another pastor were
headed by two or three individuals only,
their apparent object being to deprive me of
recognition and support, in defiance of the re-
cognition and pledged support on the part of
the Quarterly Conference, while to say the
least, their course is highly reprehensible in
the eyes of the public, it Is also most fragrant
disregard of the authority of the annual con-
ference and of the discipline. regular and
orthodox body" requiring such course for its
perpetuty, is far from being above suspicion.
Respectfully,
A. s. BAUMGARDNER.

FREE BOOKS IN THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS

The passage of Senator Smiths bill
to abolish book fees in our public
schools is generally approved by
all who have children to send to
school. The teachers, too, rejoice,
for the burden of collecting these fees
fell upon them, and frequently they
have been compelled to pay the fees
themselves, the alternative being the
dismissal of non-paying children from
the school and as a consequence a
reduction of their own salaries because
of reduced attendance.
The new bill will require an expen-
diture of at least 100000 a year from
the State treasury. 1t will not, how
ever, necessitate any increase in the
State tax, but merely keeps alive a
tax of 1! cents on the 800 heretofore
levied for the State debt, part of
which was paid by the direct tax re-
funded by the general government.
Governor Brown, it is said, is in
favor of every sound proposition to in
crease the efficiency and extend the
influence of our public school system,
but hesitates about giving his approval
to the free school book act unless safe
guards are thrown around the expendi-
ture of hemoney. The Governor, too,
according to the Annapolis correspon-
dent of the Baltimore Sun, has sound
views as to the kind of books which
should be used in Maryland public
schools. The San says:
1.-The Governor thinks that while free books
may be very desirable, we should be quite as
much concerned as to the character and the
quality of the books themselves. He would
give preference to the works of Maryland
writers and publishers, all things being equal,
rather than to the books of authors and pub
fishers in other States. No doubt sufficient
care has not been exercised in the past in this
respect. The children of our State are taught
fully about the noble deeds of New England's
heroes, while those of Maryland are forgotten.
This is true of most of the history taught in
the schools, and it is equally true of the geo
graphy. The children learn first all about
Cape Cod without knowing anything of Capes
Charles and Henry, the noble gateway to the
very heart of the State.
If we are to have free books they should
be Maryland books, but no matter what books
they may be Governor Brown will insist that
any expenditures authorized shall be proper
ly made"

DONGS At ANNAPOLIS.

Mr.. Bevard has bill before the Legislature
to authorize the County Commissioners of
Hartford county to pension Charles c. Smith.
SO
Governor Brown on Thursday night of last
week signed the bill for the relief of the
over to the State the entire amount of the
claim.
AS was expected the House, last Friday, re-
fused to concur in the Senate amendment to
the assessment bill, which struck out the en-
tire bill passed by the House and substituted
q bill containing the listing system.
Governor Brown has appointed Isaac
Whitaker Thompson Justice of the Peace for
the Sd district of Hartford county, under law
recently passed by the Legislature
Charles H. Street, having resigned his ap-
pointment as Assistant Weigher of Grain,
Governor Brown has appointed Samuel H.
Jarman, of Worcester county, to succeed him.
*x*
The following named bills have passed both
Houses:
To protect wild fowl in Hartford comfy to
protect fish and wild fowl in Rumney Creek
to authorize the commissioners of Hartford
county to pension Adelia Crawley.
So
The Legislature has passed law of very
novel character. It is intended to make
adopted children heirs of their foster parents.
Judge Phelps, in a case before him in Balti-
more, decided that an agreement or contract
by which parents relinquished control of their
offspring was void. The bill referred to
legalizes the adoption of child and under
it the parents of child can not obtain posses
sion of it again after they have once consented
to its adoption by other persons.
~
DIR. Wootton, of Montgomery county, find
ing it impossible to get his general primary
election law passed, reported 1t as a local law
for Montgomery county, where the Crawford
county system Of primary elections prevails.
The bill provides as follows:
sAny person in Montgomery county who
shall do anything at, about or in relation to
the conduct or affecting the conduct of any
primary election which is now or may here
after be punishable as a crime when done at
or in relation to or effecting the conduct Of
any election regulated by law shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor, the punishment
whereof shall be that prescribed by law in the
case of such elections regulated by law"

The bill to increase the salary of judges fail

constitutional majority, but was passed by
that body on Wednesday.

A bill is before the Legislature to charter
