The Regiment Should Go.

From the Baltimore Sun.
1t is announced that the projected par
ticipation in the Presidential inaugural
ceremonies by the First Virginia Regi-
ment of Cavalry has been abandoned be-
cause Chief Marsh 81 Mcmahon declined
TO accede to the request of Colonel VIM. f.
Wickham that his regiment be given
the place OF special escort to Mr.. Cleve-
land. General Mcmahon explained that
it had been the custom to give this po-
sition to the United States troops and
those from the District of Columbia. and
that the custom would be adhered to.
This decision seems reasonable, and
ought to BIO accepted without murmur.
Having announced his purpose to have
the First Virginia Regiment in tho
parade. Colonel Wickham ought to have
his command there with full ranks.
Every command cannot get tho best
place, but all can secure attention and
elicit admiration by appearing with full
ranks, we'll equipped, and the exhibition
of thorough drill ard training.

DIED..

At the residence of her sister
Mrs. L. S. Wilt, Jr., Mrs. Fred
Mouton of Lafayette, who had
come here to spend a month with
her sister and brothers while her
husband was building the resi-
dence OF Mr.. Den. DeBlanc, took
sick and died Wednesday morn
ing, the ~ inst, at Ais O'Clock.
after brief illness of 3 or 4 davs.
She was buried at 5 O'Clock the
same evening in the family tomb.
Mrs. Mouton was Miss Mathilde
DeBlanc, daughter of the late
Col. Alcibiade DeBlanc. She was
aged 30 years and 10 months.
She was a good friend, a dutiful
wife and a loving mother. She
was loved and esteemed by the
whole population of this town.
where she was born and lived IN.
til she became the wife of Mr.
Mouton, when they made Lafay-
cite their home.
Mrs. MoutOn leaves a husband
and five young children to mourn
her untimely demise. To them

enders its deep sympathy of con-
lolence.

goods. Our merchants can sell
goods to our own people at as low
rates as can New Iberia. AS to
the people of Breaux Bridge, the
change affects them in no way be-
cause they always go to Lafayette
to take the trains.
The change was an injustice
done our people by the Railroad
Company for the benefit of New
Iberia.
Our people are circulating a Pc
tition which will be sent to the
company to show them that the
greatest number of the patrons of
this branch are greatly inconvin-
fenced by the loss of time at New
Iberia. Our people want quick
and close connection at Cade with
both trains on the main line.

left New Iberia late the same
night coming in this direction.
The cotton found at the fire of the
foundry was the same as that
found here.
The people of New Iberia sus-
picioned Lane and Garans of the
criminal deed and arrested and
jailed them. An investigation
was than made by Sheriff Cade of
Iberia. He found that Lanes
carriage was full of coal oil, even
the curtains were imprignated
with oil, and some cotton was also
found in the carriage, and during
the night while passing in the
neighborhood of the foundry
Lane was recognized and heard
say to his companion that the cot
ton would not burn.
How correct these reports are
no one can tell until a prelimi-
nary trial is had.
Sheriff Cade came here Sunday
and interviewed the authorities.
Monday Sheriff Rees and chief
deputy Broussard went to New
Iberia to get Garans. The ex-
citement at New Iberia we under
stand was high and Sheriff Rees
feared that the turning of the pri-
soner to him was for the purpose
of crowd meeting them in the
wood and hang the prisoner. but
apprehanding trouble he took an
other road and arrived here safely
with the prisoner who is now safe
in Jail. Lane was left at New
Iberia because he is said to be in
sane and will be interdicted at the |
present term of court which is be-
ing held at New Iberia.
The people of both towns await
developments with anxiety. Lane
vas thought to be crazy for sever
ii months past, and Garans we
understand has always been con-
'idered a worthless, dangerous and
man.
The weekly messenger., 1893-09-30
OPPOSED to LYNCHING.

Two suspects, Garans and Lane
were arrested in New Iberia for
setting fire to Lepiniec's cooper
shop. These persons reside in
New Iberia, where it is rumored
Garans has been setting fire to
houses.
We are informed that talk of
lynching was freely indulged in
Ill New Iberia and emissaries from
that town came here last Monday
to raise mob to lynch Garans,
but our people have had enough
of lawlessness. They are not OPP
posed to legal hanging, but depri-
cate lynching by mob.
The lynching inclined people of
Iberia should do their own hang
ing in their own parish, and not
come over here to try and induce
our people to commit lawlessness.
We are glad that our people refu-
sed to entertain the commission of
a crime to revenge crime.
We have laws of our own exc
cuted by our white people who
can do justice to every one if our
people demand and help the au-
thorities to have justice done.
Sheriff Rees and Deputy Brous-
sard were right in evading the
mob near New Iberia and we are
pleased to state that these officers
were prepared and determined to
protect their prisoner, however
the result may have
been.

WHY THE CHANGE.

Since the change in the sche-
dule on this branch our people as
well as the travelling people have
been very much inconvinienced
by the delay at New Iberia i'm
waiting for connection with the
trains going east and west, and
the complaint has become general.
We thought at the time that the
change was to some advantage to
the Railroad Company, but it ap-
pears from the following letter
that such is not the case, the move
was made by the people of New
Iberia for their own benefit, while
imposing "A great inconvinience to
our people and to the travelling

INCENDIARISM.

Friday morning of last week the
people of this town were startled
to learn that an attempt was made
during that night to burn the
cooper shop of Mr.. Mathurin Lee
piniec. The shop is situated near
the bayou, back of MIR. VIM. B..
Eastin's residence. There was at
the time of the attempt 1000 mo-
lasses barrels and several hun
dred hogsheads and an immense
amount of material in the shops
and in the yard.
Mr.. Lepiniec employs several
cOopers, and as the demand for
his goods is large, even larger
than his force will permit, the
proprietor and employees to meet
the demand for barrels and hogs
heads work part of The night.
They commence work at 2 or 3
o'clock in the morning. Friday
morning when the fire was set TO
the shop, two of the workmen ar
rived at their work at 3 o'clock
and went to work. After the men
were in the shop one of them had
occasion to go out, in the direc-
tion of the bayou to get hoops
that were soaking in the bayou
when he discovered the building
on fire. The fire was just started
in part of the building where the
barrels were stored, and when the
fire was seen the building was
burning up to the roof. There
was fortunately supply of water
in the shop which the two men
used i'll putting out the fire. Had
not these men been at work so ear
ly the shops, barrels and perhaps
the whole vicinity which is thick
ly built in frame buildings would ,
be mass of ruins today.
There was not the least doubt {
that the fire was the work of an {
ncendiary as the wall of the shop q
vas saturated with coal oil in two
,laces and about 2 or 3 pounds of 5
'otton soaked with coal oil was b
when found. N
The authorities Immediately be- p
,an secret investigation of the y y
natter. 1t was soon learned that r.
he Simon foundry was burned W
he same night at New Iberia and II
uspicion pointed to two indivi- g
uals OF that town, named Emile &
iarans and J. r. Lane.
Mr.. Lepiniec says he has no
and could not see the
lotive of the incendiary except it n,
e jealous competitor. 1t was pl
armed during the day that Lane of
no is a cooper living in New II
Deria wanted to sell some bar a

'rt answered that he had already tn
