xN4RP AGAIN.


S. KNAPP AGAIN
In its issue of March a, The
Gazette expressed the belief that
the fraud perpetrated upon num-
Der of people by the Teche Railroad
Company, its agents, or officials,
should be investigated by the proper
aufhorities. The Gazette also
stated that is did not know if Prof.
Knapp had Intentionally deceived
rsAese people, but it is clearly appa-
feht that some transactions of a
dishonest character have taken place
and some body is responsible for
them. The criminal court convenes
here next Monday and it is hoped
that District Attorney Gordy will
AAte this matter thoroughly sifted
with view of ascertaining if any law
has been violated. We take the fol-
lowing article from the Breaux
Bridge Valley and we reproduce it
for the purpose of placing the facts,
Of which we have no personal knowl-
e8Ee; before the officials.
The utmost patience and hope in
the final satisfactory outcome of the
affairs of Prof. Knapp and his credit
0fs kept us silent up to this date.
And with the due regard to the high
position occupied by the subject of
this communication and with the
knowingly fostered and helped Mr..
Knapp in his high handed robbery.
II is impossible to sit down arms
folded and witness a diabol1cal
crime of the sort committed on an
Innocent community without raising
our feeble voice against it. We
concur in the opinion expressed by
our contemporary The Gazette in
its last issue and invite some one to
take the lead and see if there is not
law that could bring the criminal
to justice.
/. We read the letter written by Mr..
Knapp in his own hand writing ad-
dressed to the Valley of the Teche
and there is nothing in it to excuse
Mr.. Knapp, but on the contrary he
6fifninates himself still further by
saBing that the enterprise was in it
self success. If it was success,
why did it not pay his creditors?
We admit also that part of the sugar
went to pay advances and the bal
ance in the defraying of current ex-
penses. Now Mr.. Knapp afflr;.s
that he knew before grinding was
over that the money promised him
4Ou1d not be got, and if he had any
desire to deal honestly and fairly
with those who sold him their cane
why did he not apprise them of the
fact when they could have taken &C
tion to get their money. But he
leaves these poor people in the dark
and now, that all is gone says that
part of the crop in excess of that
needed to pay for advances went to
pay current expenses. We would
like to know what these current ex-
penses were. 1t certainly could
not have been expenses incurred on
the place because his employees
were not paid for the three months
previous. We ask again what were
these current expenses. There are
twenty or twenty five thousand dol
lars of bounty coming to the COM
pany from the U. S. Government
which could according to the state
ment of Mr.. Knapp in his letter,
iquidate his indebtedness, which
amount according to him is 26
thousand dollars.
Why don't Mr.. Knapp pay up
with the bounty money!

MRS CATHERINE DE FoRs ST STUART.

Although not altogether unexpected, yet when on Wednesday morning the news of the death of Mrs Catherine De- Forest, wife of George w. Stuart, was announced, fro,I many a heart went out the thought that too early had Deaths relentless hand removed her from her earthly habitation and those who held her dear. Early Wednesday morning, the Death Angel called and took away her spirit, after lingering and painful illness. Mrs Stuart had not been well for more than year, but with remarkable fortitude she kept about the house until eight weeks ago, when she was obliged to give up the struggle and keep her bed. She gradually failed and grew weaker from day to day until the end came. The cause of death was Brights disease. Mrs Stuart was the second daughter of the late Dr Erastus Y. Irwin and was 49 years old She was born in the old red house that formerly occupied the site of the new house, and was married to George w. Stuart, June ,, 1869. For the first year after their marriage they lived in d new home he had prepared for her in Bethel. But her attachment for old Newtown made her long to get back again and at the eXpi- ration of the year, they moved to New town and occupied the house now owned by Mrs Charles Northrop. The death of sister, soon after this, made it necessa- ry for them to go back to the old home- stead to care for her father, who also died that same year, and here they have since resided. Their marriage was blest with two children, both of whom died in infancy. It was only year ago that the new house, of which she was so fond, was completed and ready for occupancy, and to have 1t so early robbed of it's hos tess, causes heartfelt sympathy for the bereaved husband, from large circle of friends. The funeral service takes place from the house on Saturday afternoon, at l 30 o'clock.

 It has been lively week for the lovers of amusements. On Friday the ball at M. Throop's hall was well attended. Over 30 couples were present. and 1t was a grand success. There were good many invited guests from the surrounding towns, among whom were MT and Mrs James Nj. Seill of New Haven, who always make such occasions lively and pleasant. Miss Laura Tyrre1 of Nashville, Tenn, was present. The floral and evergreen decorations were unique, especially the huge sounding board over the band stand. The gay and sprightly dancing was en- ioyed by all. Excellent music was fur nished by Dodge's string band. Much credit is given to the management of ", D.

A HEROIC ACT.

On Thursday evening, while party of young people were skating on Curtiss pond, there came near being d serious ac- cident. George Bailey, in skating too far up the pond, broke through the ice and sank in an instant. Hallie Foot saw him go through and started to his assist ance. When within few feet of Bailey he broke through, but being fine swim mer he caught Bailey, who was going down for second time, and forced him against the ice, getting his head above the water and called to the rest of the party for help. Jamie Fair and Rosse tIawley laid down on the ice and were pushed up, one catching Bailey and one Foot, then the rest of the party made a rope of themselves and soon landed then safe on the ice, wet, but unharmed It was a close call for young Bailey and a heroic act in Foot to rescue him, as al that point the water is very deep and the current runs swiftly,
