Last Friday night thieves broke
in a show window at the store OF
Moss Bros & Co. and stole three
revolvers and a picnic knife. Early

the theft, and on Monday he re-
ceived a telegram from a deputy
sheriff at Lake Charles stating that
two negroes answering descriptions
and IN possession of some revoivers'
had been arrested at that place.
The marshal left Immediately for
Lake Charles and returned with the
two prisoners one of whom confessed
his guilt while the other denied any
completely in the crime. They were
failed and the proper charge was
m de against them.

years and nine months.
Frank Bowen belonged to that noble
brotherhood of railroad men whose guiding
star in life through summers heat and win
ter's cold is Duty, and it was while in the
performance of his duty that he was caught
between two box cars at Lafayette and hurt,
from which injury he never fully recovered.
One of the first acts of Hon. Overton Cade
after taking charge of the New Orleans Mint
was to appoint Frank to a position, which he
filed with credit to himself, and satisfaction
to the Superintendent, making friends OF
all with whom he came in association.
When the writer of this imperfect and hum
bic tribute to his memory was summoned tc

Pizzo, the Italian fruit vendor
near the post office, is in possession
of a very peculiar animal which he
found in a bananas box that he had
lust received. 1t was hidden be-
tween the bananas and looks very
much like a rat. Its head and nose
are very pointed and it sports tail
twelve inches long. Several gen
tlemen who saw it failed to throw
any light on the subject, but when
shown to one Of the railroad men,
he unhesitatingly pronounced it a

The Choir Toasted

The dinner given by Rev. Father Forge
to the members of the choir Sunday last
proved a most enjoyable one, and will long
be remembered by the participants. Between
the hours of twelve and one, the guests were
ushered into the spacious dining room'
which had been befittingly decorated tor the
occasion. The table which had also been
artistically spread groaned under its weight
of tempting delcacies. Ioasts were pro-
posed and drank to the health and success
of the Beloved Pastor, and then to the
talented and accomplished organist, Miss E.
Mouton. Those present were: Mr.. ana

DIR. w. w. LESLEY and Mr..
Albert Guidry were in OPelousas
this week. The object of their trip
remains a mystery, and lack of
courage prevents your corresPon-
dent expressing his opinion about
it.
Nearly two thirds of the entire
cotton shipment, from this place,
was ginned by the two cotton gins
located in Carencro.
1t is feared that the slow settle
ments made for sale of the cane
crop this year may have bad effect
on the increased cultivation of sugar
cane, the coming season, discour-
aging some of our planters and driv-
ing them back to cotton culture, but
we believe, that to the manufacturer
like the planter it is entirely a new
business, and that no proper plan has
vet been devised that will work salts
factorily to both buyer and seller.
| There is however, no doubt that past
experience and the coming year viii
adjust matters to the satisfaction Of
both. Tor1DEM VERBS.

Last Thursday Marshal Vigneaux
arrested a negro named Albert
Davis on a charge of stealing $40
from another negro. Is appears
that the two negroes, apparently on
friendly terms, went to bed IN the

the night Davis relieved his room
mate of $40. When arrested Davis
admitted that he had committed the
theft and he is now behind the bars
awaiting the next session of the dis
