The Mass Meeting At New Iberia.
The Prohibitionists are pushing the
fight. In answer to call for a mass
meeting in New Iberia last Thursday,
many of our citizens of that place as
sembled in The opera house. The
meeting was called to order at s pm.
by Captain J. N. Pharr, who made a
forcible address upon the subject of
prohibition, and then introduced Rev.
F. S. Parker, who spoke more than
an hour to the delight of the prohibi-
tionists and discomfort of the saloon
people.
Captain Pharr then introduced
Rev. C. NJ. Lyons, of Morgan City,
whose address consumed only about
thirty minutes, during which time he
showed that the whisky traffic. as we
know it in Louisiana, is the arch-ene-
my of good government, society
and the home.
Captain Pharr then proceeded to
organize a strong Prohibition club
composed of some of the best citizens
of Iberia. After indorsing the Lou

The frequency and facility with

cases cannot be guiltless. II the OBJ
stacles to marriage were uncovered

explicit as to the grounds of divorce,
and the preacher who remarries par

a great crime.

Can't Dodge Behind The Constitution.
BATON RoUGE, May 20, 1898.
Editor Daily Item-I noticed in an
issue of your paper last week that
some one had urged the idea that 1t
will require constitutional amend
ment to change the present election
law.
There is not a single word in the
constitution Of Louisiana showing
such requirement. The question is
purely Legislative and was so inrend-
ed by the trainers of the constitu-
ton.
Article 1S4 of the organic law does
say that, IN elections by the people
the electors shall vote by ballot" but
it only prescribes the manner in
which the elector shall vote and is ST.
lent on all other points.
If there is not a new election law
enacted by the legislature at its meet
ing next May the members, on their
return home, will hear something
drap. The people are determined.
Who will deny that the resolutions
passed by the reform press at Alex
andria on the 22d of April denounc-
ing the one-man election law of
Louisiana is not in line with Demo
cratic reform and Democratic princi-
Piles. CITIZEN
We were told yesterday of re-
markable occurrence at the steamboat

forenoon. There was a flock of geese
on the bank, and small black and

considerably. Finally an old gander,
apparently the patriarch of the flock,
became SO exasperated that he flew at
the dog, and catching the animal by
the under jaw jumped into the river
With him. On getting into the water
the gander did not release his hold,
but kept struggling with the dog un-
til he succeeded in drowning him. A
number of persons saw the occurrence
and attempted to rescue the dog but
were unable, and when they did final

entirely extinct. The story is well

started to clear the track. He
met with liveiier time than
he expected. Mrs. Hitz grabbed
his coat collar, and before he knew what
had struck him, he lay spyawiiHg on his
back in large snow bank alongside the

and encouraged Mrs. Hitz by shouts of
laughter.
The driver did double shuttle around

aboard just in time to avoid receiving
another whack from the infuriated wo-
mans umbrella.

TRENTON. Jan. "a, 1898. B 9th Houses
wert through the form of balloting for
United States Senator this morning.
The matter came up in the regular order
of business, and created no excitement
whatever. In the Senate, Mr.. Barrett
offered a resolution that the body
proceed to elect the Senator. He nomin-
ated James Smith, Jr., and Mr.. Rogers
nominated William J. Sewell. There were
no speeches. The Clerk called the roll
and Mr.. Smith received the sixteen
Democraticvotes, and General Sewell TIN
five Republ ican.
In the House, Mr. Lane offered the reso-
luton and nominated Mr.. Smith. Mr..
Hutchinson nominated General Sewell
and on the roll call Mr.. Smith received
SO votes and Sewell 81. Tomorrow, at
noon, the joint meeting will be held,
when the Clerk will read the man
ual of each House, and Senator
Adrain, Chairman OF the joint meeting,
Will make the announcement that James
Smith, Jr., has been duly elected United
States Senator.
SLOW WORK.
Owing to the lack of bills reported by
the committees, both Houses held short
sessions this morning. In the Senate.
Mr. Cornish's telephone resolutions were
accepted. Senators Winton and Barker
wanted them printed before action was
taken, and when motion to that effect
was defeated on final passage, they voted
against adoption.
In the. House, Mr. Lane introduced a
bill fixing the salaries of Vice-Chaucellors
at So, 900; the present salary is $500; Mr..
Kelly, one to make counties pay expenses
of District Courts instead of the cities;
Mr.. SaIipger, one authorizing Supreme
Court Justices to appoint Building aud
Loan Inspectors in eacn county to ex-
anime books and see that the associations
obey the law.
Mr.. Smith held an informal reception
in Treasurer Gray's private room after
the morning session, and received the
congratulations of all comers. Among
those who shook his hand were Judge
Garretson and G. B. Thurston.

MRS. CARPENTERS SIDE.
Her Mother Says She Has Not Eiopsd-
Jealous Persecution.


Robert Carpenter. of Union Hill, who
says his pretty wife Emma has eloped
with Charles w. Eldridge, has not vet
heard from the missing pair. Mr.. Car
penter is positive his wife has eloped,
while Mrs. Carpenters mother as posi-
lively asserts this is untrue; that her
daughter is stopping with friends In New
York, having tired of her husbands re-
peated accusations.
1t seems that last summer Frank Har-
rigan boarded with the Carpenters besides
Eldridge There is no doubt Eldridge
became infatuated with the pretty wife,
and made advances which were repulsed.
The husband knew of Eldridge's infatua-
tion for his wife in general way. Yet
Eldridge was allowed to remain In the
house. The husband at times accused
his wife of being unfairhful, her mother
says. Eldridge tried to persuade Mrs,
Carpenter that her husband did not love
her, and that she would be happier with
him. She was persistent, however, In re-
pulsing him.
Then Eldridge circulated the story that
Hartman, who was on the road with
soma theatrical company. had written
Mrs. CARPENTER, asking her to join him.
This resched Carpenters ears, and he
again prosecuted his wife with charges.
After consultation with her relatives.
it is said, she took what money was In
the house, and, with her daughter,
Dwight, went to friends in New York.
Eldridge also disappeared the same DAY.

BRIBERY IN UNION HILL.
President Luck of the Board Of
Education Accuses Architects.

A highly sensational charge was made
last Friday evening at the meeting OF the
Union Hill Board of Education. John
Luck, Chairman of the Board, declared
at the meeting that the firm OF Boyer
& Mccain. architects, had promised
him $3.50 IL he would vote for and try to
influence the acceptance Of their plans
for the new school building to be erected
in the northern side of the town at cost
of S25, 900.
There were four plans submitted at the
netting, as foliows.-Robert c. Dixon, of
Union Hill; Boyer & Mccain, of Hobo
ken; and Henry Davidson and g, Robert
son. of New York. Boyer u McCann's
plan was accepted by the votes OF Trus--
tees Kuhlmann. King. Rsinert and
Ter opposing. Chairman LUCK an
told % o. the '; o;aerea ed bribe. Be-
Those who had voted for Boyer and Me-
Cam denied strenuously that they had
been influenced by money consider
alton.
After considerable wrangling Boyer
and McCann's plan was rejected and
Dixon's accepted. Chairman Luck favor
ed the plan of G. Robertson. of New
York.
Many do not hesitate to say that Dix
on's plans are of no use; that he did work
on the old school houses and onthouses
adjoining. which proved decidedly unsat-
isfactory.
Boyer & Mccain emphatically deny
Chairman Luck's accusation, and will
demand an investigation. Mr.. Nc
Cam said to a reporter that he
visited Mr.. Luck ON Saturday week at his
home. His object in calling was to se-
cure information of the Boards meeting
the following Wednesday, They
talkedof school matters IN general,
but no mention was made OF q
pecuniary reward for his vote.
From the conversation, Mr.. Mccain
thought the Chairman favored their
plan.
Mr.. Boyer. the other member OF the
firm. said he ttended g meeting of the
Board last Wednesday and explained
