A correspondent suggests in another
column that inasmuch as Acadia has an
acceptable candidate for Congress in
the person Of Mr.. P. j. Chappuis, an
able lawyer of Crowley, it would be a
proper and neighborly thing for St..
Landry to do to throw her powerful in
nuence in his favor and thereby proba-
ply insure his nomination. The writer
Is a gentleman of considerable influence
and his suggestion will probably have
great weight In political circles with
which Mr.. Chappuis has not heretofore
been in sympathy.

A BANQUET to Americans,

LONDON, May 24.-The banquet
to the officers of the United States
warship Chicago today will be held
in st. James hall. Among the
guests will be Ambassador Bayard
and several of his staff, Consul
General Patrick Collins, American
consuls from the larger provincial
cities, the Lord Mayor and the two
sheriffs OF London. Many conspic-
uous persons have volunteered
their services, among them the
Duke of York, Prince Henry of
Battenberg, Prince Louis of Bat
tenberg and numerous members of
Parliament, besides the best of
the army and navy. The commit
tee accepted the offers of all, in
Guiding civilians, with view to
making the demonstration thor
oughly representative and thus
enhancing the compliment to the
American navy and people. Ladies
will be admitted to the gallery of
the hall during the banquet. The
music will be played by the band
of the Royal Engineers. All the
arrangements indicate that the
banquet will be one of the most
brilliant affairs of its kind given
here in many years.

Ex-Gov. Price DYING

RAMsEYs, n. j.. May 24.-Ex-
Gov. Rodman NJ. Price is nearing
death. He is rapidly losing con-
seriousness, and today realized that
his moments are numbered. He
called his family to his side and
told them it would probably be the
last time he would clasp their
hands. Death will certainly dis
solve Chancellor Green's decree,
which would send the aged veteran
to Jail tomorrow for contempt OF
court il he were in health. Today
the few days grace granted him
by the Chancellor in which to pay
up the amount of the judgment
against him expired.

Mrs. Lease and the Cranks.

OLATHE, Kas., May 2O.-The APP
pearance of the Minnesota crank,
who has threatened the life of
Mary +. Lease, and set today as
the time of her death at his hands,
was anticipated. Unusual precau-
ton was taken in guarding the
premises of the State Deaf and
Dumb Institution, especially the
halls leading from the rooms &C.
cupied by Mrs. Lease, where she
lies seriously i'll, suffering from
fever and nervous.prostration. A
suspicious looking character made
his appearance at the institution
this afternoon with a large bouquet
of flowers to be given to Mrs. Lease.
Fearing the flowers might contain
poisonous perfumes they were
thrust aside and the stranger hur-
riedly excluded from the premises.
Mrs. Leases present condition, in
fact, is largely due to being con-
stantly annoyed by threatening
letters received from unknown
cranks.

A Telegraph Half-Centenary.

WASHINGTON, May "a. - Tele-
graphers throughout the country
will today celebrate the half-cen-
tenary of the telegraph. 1t is the
fiftieth anniversary of the sending
of the first public message by cleo
trio telegraph. This historic and
epoch-marking message was sent
from the room of the United States
Supreme court in the Capitol, now
the law library of Congress, on the
oath day of May, 1874. Miss Annie
G. Ellsworth, daughter of Henry
G. Ellsworth, then commission
er of the general land Office,
chose the words of the message.
AS she had been the first to con-
vey to Professor Morse the intel
ligence of the passage of his bill
by congress granting him money
with which to run his experiment
tai line, he had promised her this
distinction. She selected the
words, "what hath God wroughtw
taken from Numbers xii, %.
The strip on which the Geographic
words were printed is now in the
Athenium, of Hartford, Conn, Miss
Ellsworth being native of that
city. The message was received at
Baltimore, the termination of the
line, by Albert Vail, Of that city,
who was Morse's assistant.

The result of the session Of the
water committee of the city coun-
ell yesterday afternoon is not de-
sisively known and will not be
known perhaps until the next meet
ing of the city council.
At the session of the committee
Col. Breckenridge and Engineer
Sweitzer were present. The propo-
sition of the city council was sub
mitted to Col. Breckenridge and
also the amendment of Alderman
Hoefiing. 1t was decided, after
considerable discussion to report to
the council the following:
Col. Breckenridge to agree for the
Waterworks company to put in
$4,000 feet Of pipe per annum dur
ing the existence Of the contract
with the city, at an annual rate of
$4,000, and to charge nothing for
extra hydrants ordered by the city,
over and above the number neces-
sary for the $4,000 feet of pipe.
The other portion Of the original
contract that one water-closet in
each house be flushed, all sewers
flushed, private water rates at
25 per cent reduction and
so forth, was allowed to
remain as proposed. The
city will give the company the
franchise during the existence OF
the present charter and an extern
sion thereto not to exceed ten
years. This will virtually grant
the company a franchise for AZ
years and six months.
Col. Breckenridge took this mat
ter under advisement and will give
the committee his answer of ac-
ceptance or rejection this after
noon.

A Contractor Missing.

FORT WORTH, Tex, May a.
Especial. superintendent Pratt,
who has had charge Of the con-
struction of the Lyman block in
this city, has strangely disappear
ed, and no trace of him can be
found. He left large number OF
people in the lurch, his methods
being such as to cause officers to
be in search of him. The amount
of his shortage is not known
exactly, but it will aggregate a
considerable sum.

His Meat Is All Right,

w. M. Carney, the butcher who,

meat, called at the LIGHT office to-

be made in justice to him, that no
meat supplied by him has ever,
been condemned at Fort Sam Hous-.
ton. If any meat was condemned
it must have been purchased Of
some other butcher, without au-
thority from the officer in charge.

ment to the sugar consumed in
this country. Anumber of Repub-
lican senators are prepared to fire
some sensational facts at the Dem

and it is understood that Senator
Hill will also have something

has been decided against the gov
eminent in the various lower
courts, and was now pending in

In speaking Of the report,
Senator Werner said: at will
be suggested that Congress should
amend the law so as to give the at
torney general greater power and
overcome the objections of the
courts to this law with view of in
stituting a general crusade against
trusts. advised against any such
amendment of the law, as l think
it would amount to nothing. 1t is

Fighting Strikers.

UNIoNTowN, Pa, May A.-At
daybreak the battle, which has
been threatened, at the Shyckle
Hollow mines of the Washington
Coal and Coke company, in the
fourth pool, occurred, and as a
result several men lie dead and
half a dozen seriously wounded,
The exact number killed and
wounded cannot be ascertained yet,
IS they were carried off the ground
as they were moved down by fifty
Winchesters guarding the plants.
Shortly before midnight last
night, 1000 strikers assembled
atStyckle Hollow plants, coming
from Lucyville, Lafayette City,
Freeport, Allenport, and many
other points on the Mon
ongahela river. They went into
camp near the plant, where they
remained until 3 o'clock, when
they adjourned to the public road,
leading to the works, and over
which the workmen would have to
pass to the pits.
AS the LIGHT goes to press the
birds have gotten off of the tele-
graph lines, and a long, windy
story about the strikers is coming

deputies are parading around try
ing to get the other fellow to

support of che Democratic major

it is considered probable by those
