Martinville, rendered his resignation
to the board owing to threats that
had been made to him by the parent
of oneof the children attending the
school, because of the punish ment
of his child. The Gazette feels
some interest in this matter because
we know Mr.. Beal; we know him to
be an unassuming, and thorough
gentleman, with disposition inca
pable Of harshness, and an able
teacher-the ablest that town has
had since the days of G. w. john
son-and we are sorry to see him
leave field where he is 50 highly
appreciated by the good people, and
especially when he is instrumental
in oosxg SO much for the future well
fare of the children of that town.
Men with the qualities of mind and
heart like Mr.. Beal are not found
every day, and when he is gone the
peoplewill realize heavy loss. He
should,' by all means. be in
duced to remain. The town needs
him.

with fair reason, that the right of
way would not have been asked had
Mot been the fixed intention TO
utilize 1t. But aside from this, 1t
may have been noticed, that these
peo pie, or their representatives,
went quietly to work to secure the
privileges mentioned, before pub
fishing Aeir charter. And from
these premises q fair deduction is
that this very attempted secresy
demonstrates individually the se-
rious purpose of the company to
build the road.
That the objective point of this
road is Carencro, we see every rea-
son to believe, and with its advent
all that large fertile area, now cul-
tivated in cotton. and so we'll adap-
ted to the growth of the sugar cane,
will be supplanted by the latter, and
the large acreage that is bound to
follow, from the fact that the re-
turns from the same acreage will
pay three times as much as cotton,
and this, undoubtedly, will call for
increased manufacturing facilities,
which will necessitate the building
of a refinery in that neighborhood,
and what more eligible. site than
that offered by the town of Caren-
cro7
The Gazette congratulates the
people of Carencro on the propi-
tious outlook.

LAFAYErTE, La, April I, 1898:
Pursuant to call issued by Hon. Julian
Mouton, president of the School Board,
the public school teachers of the parish of
and proceeded to organize a Teachers Insti-
tute, under the rules and regulations estab-
lished by the State Board of Education, and
as provded.in act "a of 1888.
There were present the following teachers:
Chas. A. Boudreaux. A. ID. Martin, J.
Ben T. Toler, J. c. Martin, VIC. Webb,
Ed. St. Julien, A. L. Guilbeau, II. C..
Greig, Mrs. E. w. Glen and Hugh Wagner.
President Julian Mouton addressed the
teachers upon the objects of the organiza-
ton and urged upon all the necessity and
importance of maintaining the Institute as a
means of promoting the efficiency of the
public school system of the parish. While
some improvement had been made yet there
remained much to be accomplished in many
respects, vital to a thorough development of
progressive, practical and methodical ideas
in the administration of the public schools.
The teachers present then resolved into a
Teachers Parish Institute and upon motion
duly made the following officers were elected:
r. T.. Greig, manager; Mrs. E. w. Glen I,
secretary; Chas. A. Boudreaux, treasurer.
The following committee appointed
to draft suitable bylaws for the government
of the Institute and report at next meeting:
A. D. Martin, Philip Martin, A. L. Gull
beau and r.. G. Greig.
The following subjects were then sug-
gested for discussion at the next meeting
sis the teaching of French beneficial in the
schools ?'' ssHow to interest lazy pupils ?''

FINS.

In 1890 suit was instituted by
Lehman, Stern & Co., CONNER
cial firm in New Orleans, against
Mrs. NJ. A. Broussard, wife, ct al,
in the District Court in the parish
of Lafayette, involving an amount
of about $4,000. The legal phases
appeared of such complicated
nature, and was fought SO stubborn
ly from its incipiency as to justly
become a cause eeLe6ve.
After over two years of tedious
labor before the District Court, it
went up to the Supreme Court,
which higher court affirmed all the
rulings of the lower court.
And now this celebrated case was
brought to an abrupt close Saturday
last by the plaintiffs moving for a
discontimance,l thereby admitting
that they were in error in their APP
plicaton of the law in the case and
facts applicable thereto. And thus
suddenly ended case wherein the
costs of court will approximate's some
$4,000 which will be paid by plain
tiff.
The attorneys engaged in behalf
Of lehman, Stern & Co., were
Messrs. Henry Garland Jr., Kenneth
Baillo, L. 1. Tansy, and White,
Parlange and Saunders, while Mrs.
Broussard and others were repre-
sented by Messrs. Conrad Debail-
lon and c. H. Mouton; and al
though pitted against an array of
formidable talent, reputed to be
high in learning, the two attorneys
for Mrs. Broussard were more than
a match for them, as events proved.
The Gazette doffs its hat to the
two gentleman and compliment
them on their victory, and the ad-
mirable manner in which they
handled the case.

TO BIZ TON ROUGE.
ne Texas, Louisiana and East

The Texas, Louisiana and East
ern railroad is presently engaged in
extending its road from Conroe,
Texas, and it is now built to a point
near the Trinity river, and is being
pushed east, the ultimate end being
Baton Rouge. And from the tenor
of an interview with the treasurer of
the company, and reported in the
Galveston News, we judge work is
progressing right along, and before
many months have lapsed the OBJ
jective point will be reached.
The building of this road should
possess some interest to the people
of Lafayette, because it brings with
in the reach of the proposed, and
frequently talked of, Louisiana Cen
trail (the road that will eventually
be built between Lafayette and some
point on the Mississippi river) an
other connecting link.
With the Texas and Pacific rail-
road and it's vast number of con-

Barge line, any or all of these could

trail would form part of truly
grand trunk line covering every
point, by rail and river, east, west,
north and south. And thus would
be furnished in its amplest meaning,
such competition that would afford
the most beneficial results.
Straws, favorable to the fullest
development of our great dormant
resources, are being waited towards
us from every point of the compass,
and the town and parish of Lafa-
yette, it is to be hoped, will not mis-
take them for will o'-wisps.
