Last Monday on the arrival of the after
noon train, Marshal Bradley noticed white
young man, stranger, seemingly in dis
trcss, talking with S. NJ. Smith one of the
sharks that have been infesting the neigh
borhood of the depot. AS soon as Smith
saw the marshal he took shelter. Upon be-
ing questioned by the marshal the young
man stated that Smith had aPrroch him, and
finding out thathe was out of work, offered to
introduce him to a doctor, across the way, who
would give him work. The offer was eager
ly accepted, but the doctor did not happen to
be present. By the slick methods known &c
those gentry, he was inveigled in game OF
cards, and, of course, lost his money. Smith
was arrested, brought before the authorities
and ordered to leave, and he did. Th'
marshal says that he intends to break up thu
| nefarious business if it takes all summer ant
| The Gazette believes he will.

IN ASSURED FACT.

1t may be remembered that two
weeks since The Gazette called at
t.ntion to the formation of The
Teche Railroad and Sugar compa-
nv and that it was the fixed purpose
of the gentlemen at its head to
build, at an early day, a railroad
from Huron plantation, on Bayou
Teche, to Carencro. That the
company mean to carry out thell
intentions The Gazette has all along
believed, and we are happy to note
that it is coming.
Through the courtesy of that pub
Iic-spirited citizen, Mr.. Roman
Francez, we have in our possession
a letter, written to that gentleman
by MIR. S. A. Knapp, the moving
spirit in the projected railroad
wherein the information is sough

Last Sunday the Times-Democrat
published short biography of Gen
eral Alexander Declouet which
was eagerly read by the many friends
of this lamented chivalric gentle
man, whose thoughts, time and
means were ever so unselishly de-
voted to his people. In a career
covering part of a period that was
fraught with SO many threatening
dangers to our constitutional liberty
the Generals pen and voice were
ever ready to defend uphold and en-
courage them. His life was full o.
honors; not the least speck eve
rested on the bright escutcheon o
his long life. The writer who
enjoyed the privilege of hi
acquaintanceship, can truthfully sa
that he was a kind, generous an
charitable man. The necessarll
short biography, limited to tn
columns of newspaper, while in
complete, furnishes an example c
what unselfsh and high aims ca
accomplish.

The people of Lafayette know
that their parish is highly favored
spot; favored in climate, favored in
the fertility of its soil, favored in all
that goes to create contentment and
prosperity. They know that the re-
sources of her soil is susceptible OF
producing raw material that can be
manufactured into many articles of
food and clothing. They are united
in the determination that those re-
sources must be developed, and with
this determination maintained the
fruition of their hopes is but ques-
ton of short time.

THE FORMdN CASE.

The case of the State of Louisiana |
versus Willie Forman, charged with
the murder of ]. G. Bertrand, at
Duson, some months ago, and
which, upon the first trial, at the
term Of court before this, resulted
in disagreement of the jury, was
brought up last Monday, and after
a trial lasting two days and the best
part of a night, resulted in verdict
of manslaughter, with a recommen-
dalton of mercy attached.
The particulars of the case are so
we'll known to the readers of The
Gazette that it would be waste of
time to again 60 over the details.
The case had attracted much at
tention, in view of the alleged des-
perate reputation of the accused,
coupled to the proclaimed state
ment that on account of large
family connections, itwould be, as
it had been in the past, well nigh
impossible for the State to secure a
conviction, when one of the For
mans are concerned. The district
attorney laid particular stress upon
this point, and made forcible ar
gument of his side of the case.
The following is the jury: Mar
tiaI Billaud, foreman; Charles Bill
e laud, Louis Deleglise, Henry Els
swein, Albert Liable, Hazard Der
nard, I. N. Satterfield, Armanc'
Guilbeau, G.. Abbadie, Augusta
Liable, T. Estilette, VIM. Dura
(colored.)
1t appears that this young mai
has been up Before the authorize
many times, for number of offense
and among them were two accuse
tons of murder. Upon trial of the
first he was acquitted.
All this trouble can be traced t.
the reprehensible habit of carryin
weapons. Had Willie Forman an
Columbus Spell left their pistols
home it is probable that ]. G.. Bel
trand would be living today, an
Columbus Spell would have bee
saved the suffering caused by tn
two wounds he received, and Will
Forman, instead of now being o
the Threshold of the penitentiar
where long stay may await hin
would be in the bosom of his fam
ly,. solace and JOY, and spare thel
the consequent disgrace entailed b
an act, that would not have bee
committed if that pistol had bee
left at home.

understand, will be readily granted;
(z) terminal facilities at Carencro;
Ia the amount of cane that
can be purchased at Carencro with
the agreement that the road shall be
completed in time to take the cane.
To the first question, as we stated
before, there is no difficulty what
ever existing in regard to securing
the sright of way" the second Mr..
Francez. has definitely settled by
donating sufficient land for depot
purposes, and to the third, the plan
tiers we are sure, will be able to de-
liver enough cane to satisfy the
wishes of Mr.. Knapp.
In year or two from the present
an acreage in cane will be cultivated
sufficient to demand increased manu-
featuring facilities, which will I'M
doubleday be met, hence, this viii
necessitate the erection of large re
finery in the immediate neighbor-
hood of Carencro, and for this lat
ter purpose, Mr.. Francez stand
ready to donate the land necessary
Now that new era is beginning
3 to dawn on that section of the Par
ish of Lafayette, let the enterprisin
people thereof see to it that the oP
portunity of life time be not pei
mitted to escape them Let ther

door, and in few years they wi
e reap such Prosperity, as they neve

Judge Felix VOORHEES,.

The Gazette was pleased to receive
Tuesday a cal from its friend, Felix Voor-
HES, Judge of the zIst Judicial District com,
posed of the parishes of St. Martin and Iberia
who was on a short visit here to friends and
relatives.
Since his encumbency of the position
Judge VOORHEES, has demonstrated his ability
for quick and thorough work. When he as
eended the bench about year ago he
found an encountered docket with between
,so to 400 cases, criminal and civil, but that
fact did not seen to give him much concern,
inasmuch as he began with vim that has
accomplished SO much.
To-day there arc no cases pending in St.
Martin, and in iberia, but few, and these
will be disposed of at the next term of court.
As an illustration of the expiditiousness
of his work we have only to state that at the
| last term of court in iberia, he decided 45
cases and disposed of IS. creditable re-
cord and one which any officer would be
proud of.
Judge VOORHEES, in also literateur, whose
writings have received .f1attering mention b,
some of the literary men of Paris, and als'
| by the Athenec Louisianais. The judg'
has received, on several occasions, offers t.
publish his writings but has invariably re
fused. The Gazette trusts that the gentle
man will reconsider his refusal, because ]
has had the good fortune 10 enjoy the peru
sal of many of them, and 1t believes the,
would prove interesting and enjoyable to tn
general public.
The Lafayette gazette. [volume] (Lafayette, La.) 1893-1921, 1893-04-22
EACH WILL HAVE ONE.

There is room for sugar refneries
and several other manufacturing en-
terprises, in the several towns of the
parish. And each of these towns,
The Gazette makes bold to predict,
will have one or more, in course OF
time-and the time is limited only
TO the energy and enterprise dis
played by the people.
Appearances indicate that Caren-
Gro will be the first to land a facto-
ry, although not long ago rumors
were rife to the effect that two gen
tleman of means, and residents o.
the neighborhood, had joined thei1
capital for the purpose of erecting
a refinery within a mile or so o
Broussardville, but it failed to ma
terialize owing to one of the gen
tleman failing to come to time.
The Gazette thinks that if tn
acreage now devoted to the cultiva
ton of cotton was put in cane, tn
tonnage would be enough to Civ
a refinery, in each town, their flu
quota of work.
Now. then, let US show desir
to rise up William Riley, and say t
each other, come along and let's tr
our best, and with such thoughts an
mating each one the result, in fe
years, will be marvellous.
