EXPERT work.

In the hurry and lateness in get
ting our last issue, we were com
PEELED to leave out many of the de-
tails of the capture and subsequent
identification of the negroes arrested
and charged with the atrocious at.
tempt to murder and robbery of the
railroad station at Iowa, some Is
miles east of here.
1t may be recalled that Mrs.
Cantrell came in with Sheriff Reid
of Calcasieu, and John Long, the
railroad detective, and the lady
positively recognized King, the ne
gro, as one of the party who COM
mitted the dastardly act.
This crime was committed at O
O'Clock p. M, and Sheriff Ike Brous-
sard received the information from
Calcasieu's sheriff while in bed, a
few hours later, and the plans of
this vigilant officer were soon formed.
There was a freight train due here
at O'Clock a. M, and it was the
caboose from the same train that
took Mr.. Cantrell to Welsh for
medical aid, and it was not thought
possible that the culprits would
have the hardihood to board that
train. Ike thought they would,
and they did, riding between the
cars. Ike, ever on the alert, with
the assistance of some of the rail-
road boys, soon had everything in
readiness when the train should ar
rive, and when it did arrive the two
negroes walked into the net and were
safely Gagged. Let us say here that
the sheriff performed a skillful
piece of detective work, and one
that would do credit to any profess
sional detective in the country.
The two negroes are in Jail in Cal
casieu parish, living warning to
every fnalefactor to give Lafayette
wide berth, for if they don't the |
sheriff will get him every time
But the part deserving special men
ton lies in the fact that Sheriff |
Broussard had secured sufficient |
evidence to convict, even if the !
lady had not recognized her assail-
|ant- Ike can wear a big plume in !
his hat; it is a right that no one can
dispute.

POEZ/C ROADS.
SCOTT, La, Aug, ISo

SCOTT, La, Aug. 1893.
To the Editor of The Lafayette Gazette:
The road between Lafayette and this
place is in very bad condition. 1 noticed
three bridges, especially one on the north of
Adeina Martin; this bridge is at least two
feet above the grading with a mud hole at
each end. The other two are between
Charles Breaux and d. Boudrcaux-this is
smother fine sight, with holes on both sides
and bridge in the middle, and yet this road
is worked under contract of $50 per mile.
part pay in advance. This is shame for
Our Police Jury to permit such.
HuMBUcGEn.
The Gazette has received a half
dozen complaints in regard to the
bad condition of the public roads.
These complaints came from Scott,
Carencro, Royville and Breaux
Bridge. The Scott and Royville
roads particularly, are reported to
be IN nearly an impossible condi-
ton.
From ttHumbugger's" letter it
can be seen that the road spoken of
is under the charge Pf the road con-
tractor.

TO the great delight of the peo-
pie, DR.. A. O. Clark has decided
to remain here and will not move to
Crowley. This community could
ill-afford to lose such good physi-
clan and worthy citizen.
We have DR.. NJ. l.. Lyons with
us yet, just as robust and lively as
he was twenty-five years ago. AL
though we'll advanced in years, the
doctor never fails to attend to his
large practice.
J. T. Broussard is repairing and
putting his gin in first class condi-
ton in order to be able to handle
the large crop of cotton. Mr..
Broussard is also building a new
kitchen.

Some Fine Canes.

Mr.. r. c. Landry, favored The
Gazette with sugar cane having
IS red joints, weighing pounds and
IS ounces and measuring feet and
9 inches. Mr.. Landry has forty
acres, which, we understand, will
be sold to Mr.. M. Billaud.
An other cane came from the
field of Mr.. Babtiste Dupuis and
had IS joints, was feet long and
weighed S pounds and II ounces.
1t is clearly evident that Lafa-
yette soil is adapted to the cultiva-
ton of the sugar cane and with ia
cilities for its manufacture into SUI
gar, in a few years it would be the
crop of the parish, and inasmuch
as it is the best paying Of all crops
our farmers would be enriched to
the extent of its cultivation.

THE OUTLOOK.

There has been a slight change for
s the best in the financial situation,
and the week closed with marked
hopefulness on the part of business
men and financiers, at the great
money centres, who have most
closely watched the prevailing con-
ditions. The importation of gold
Is increasing, large amounts of new
currency are being taken out of the
bankss and gradually finding its way
in trade channels, and there is an
increasing probability that Congress
will give the country wise legislation
and on the whole there are several
indications that the turn of the tide
has been reached. The striking
feature of the week before was the
dearth of currency, but there is
every indication, and a fervent
hope, that those who have been
boarding currency will be disap-
pointed. On the whole, as we said,
the outlook is an improved one,
though the actual situation is at
present still decidedly gloomy.

quent crimes with which prosecut-
ing officers have to contend is that
of perjury. Notwithstanding the
severe penalties attached to this
! crime 1t really seems to be on the
increase. Nowadays, whenever a
man commits some offense against
the law, if he so desires, he can find
some wretch who, for a mere pit
lance, will Perjure himself to clear
his clieut. This is one of the most
dangerous classes of criminals, for
wherever perjurer is found there
will the lawbreaker go unwhipt of
justice, all efforts of prosecuting
attorneys to the contrary notwith-
standing. 1t seems to be only of
late years that this crime has be-
come of such frequent occurrence ::
indeed, district attorneys are con-
stantly banked in making out cases
on account of the brazen perjurer.
In many cases people are confident
that witness has grossly lied to
clear criminal, yet they have no
means of proving him as such, and
consequently he is allowed to 20 on
plying his nefarious business and
cheating the law out of its legiti
mate prey. The perjurer is a men
ace to a community. So long as
he is suffered to continue his rascal
ity, just SO long will the law be
laughed at and derided by every
criminal who is able to employ the
dishonest witness in his behalf. So
soon as it has been plainly made
manifest that man has perjured
himself before the courts, then the
good people of the country should
rise en- masse and drive him from
the country. This would be only
an act of self-defence, for what man
is safe when the perjurer stalks
through the land ready to swear to
anyti,ing for money.-Ex.
