The change in our business ad- vertieed for some time past MEk N that on JANUARY 1, 1895, we will open up one of the largest and best equipped Merchant Tailoring Establish ments in the South. It will ad- init of the employment of large number of hands, thus proving an important factor in the promotion of this city's in- dustries. We have secured the services of Il first class Cutter, who, with his assistants, stand high in their profession. We have also completed the pur- chase of our Spring line of piece goods, same having been bought under the operations of the new tariff bill, which takes effect January l.. This will no doubt convince the public that we have not been PREVARI- TYING, nor have we been bluffing. In order to make room for this change our stock of Clothing must be sold. We continue our Great Sacrifice Sale. A call will be convincing. M. VEIL & BRo.,

Murder VIII Out.

From a gentleman frGm Mans
field we learn that District Attorney
Lee has unearthed the murder OF
the Cordoya family in DeSoto parish
which happened about year ago.
Since the conviction of Leonard Lee
it appears that he has made confess
sion ia which he says that Attorney
Lee 10 his trial had unearthed the
whole matter and only was wong in
one thing, and that was as to mis-
killing either of the Cordov&s, but
that he received the money. Doug
las Carpenter, who was tried and &C
quilted, has been rearrested by
Sheriff L. Ii. Huson, of DeSoto, and
passed through this city Monday
night. Il will be remembered that
Lee was convicted and got Is years.
The Adams are yet in jail. Attorney
Lee is confident that he Will convict
the whole gang and clear up the
mystery that for a while overhang
this bloody crime.

lions Adopted.
In response to a call some 800 or
more people met at the courthouse
at 1880 o'clock Tuesday evening.
The meeting was called to order by
Hon. E. H. Randolph in a few words.
Mr.. L. NJ. Carter was called to the
chair, and said that it was no use to
state the object Of the meeting as all |
present knew what it was for and the |
cause Of it.
The chair at once moved that a
committee Of three be appointed to |
draft resolutions. Messrs. T. j.
Irrelevant, E. H. Randolph and Isaac
Barron We're appointed.
A recess of ten minutes was grant
ed the committee to report,
Pending the time consumed by the
committee in framing the resolutions
District Attorney Land arose in the
rear of the audience and stated that |
the State, parish and city we're to be
congratulated upon having now IN
session a grand jury composed
of SO good material and the charges
against the parties would be thor
oughly investigated, and if found
guilty would be punished as the law
directs. Mr. Land was applauded,
The committee returned to the
courtroom in a short time and Mr..
Trezevant read the following resolu-
tions, which we're adopted by ap-
plause without a dissenting voice,
after which the meeting quietly ad-
journed:
Be it resolved, by the citizens of
Shreveport Ia mass meeting assem-
bled, that we denounce the acts of a
member of tie city council of Shreve-
port, and of the chief of police Of this
city, and two patrolmen, wherein the
coaches and sleepers of a railroad
train were, on Friday night, invaded
and certain parties strangers and
travellers arrested and taken
from the train and searched and
made to deliver their property, with
out any affidavit or warrant in law,
was an outrage upon the rights and
liberties of the people guaranteed by
the federal and state constitutions,
and as calculated to bring disgrace
upon the name and fame of our city
and parish.
Be it farther resolved, That we re-
pudiate such conduct as representa-
tive in any respect of the sentiment
of law prevailing in our midst, and,
if such conduct as published be true,
declare that such officers are IN
worthy further to be intrdsted with
the enforcement or preservation OF
law IN iris community.
Be it further resolved, That I'M
less such conduct and such acts are
repressed and corrected by law our
community will fall under deserved
obloquy. Having full confidence in
the machinery of Justice, State and
city, we demand a full and searching
legal Investigation at the hands of
such authorities; and, without malice
to any Individual, that the otfenses
committed be prosecuted with the
thoroughness and fullness common
surate with the gravity of the case.
Resolved further, That it is the
sense of this meeting that this ont
rage is the natural outcome of the
laxity with which the laws against
unlawful and swindling games, car
ried on in this community, are en-
forced; and we demand that the law
be strictly enforced against the !
farther continuance of such unlaw-
fal and disreputable resorts.

Judge Clementson spoke earnestly in
favor of the project, as did Judge

they can derive direct benefit from
them. otherwise they are not. We are
not disposed to blame anyone living in
the outskirts of the city, where it is not
likely the system can be made to work
Immediately. for not being as heartily
in sympathy with the movement as
those living in the principal part of the

center are public spirited enough to
want to see the city supplied with fire
