Mitcileli'S Capture.

The Gazette is not given to Prais-
ing anybody for performing his sworn
duty, but when an officer shows the
zeal and detective skill display by
Sheriff Broussard in the capture of
Mitchell, the murderer, it considers
itself duty-bound to record the fact
and to give credit where it is due.
Through the efforts of Sheriff Brous-
sard, principally, one of the most
desperate criminals in the country
has been caught sixteen years after
the commission of his crime and
brought back to stand trial. Mitch
ell arrived Tuesday at the depot at
this place IN the custody of Sheliffs
Reid and Broussard. Sheriff Brous-
sard stopped here while Sheriff Reid
continued with the prisoner to Lake
Charles where there is an accusation
of murder against him. Sheriff
Reid stated to a Gazette reporter
that eye-witnesses to the murder of
which Mitchell is charged are still
living, and it is believed that it will
be an easy matter to prove his guilt.
He killed man named Guidry
about sixteen years ago and since
then he has lived in different parts
of Texas, finally moving with his
family to Leesburg, Fla, where he
had accumulated considerable
amount Of property.
A number of people entered the
car Tuesday to take look at
Mitchell. Among those who saw
him were several who had known
him in this parish twenty years ago.
He was quiet and had nothing to
say to anyone. He is about 40 or
IS years of age, OF small built has a
keen eye and looks very intelligent.
Mitchell has son in the Jail Of this
parish. serving a sentence of three
months imprisonment for having
horse whipped a man. He is a
bright lai and it is to be hoped that
his Present punishment Will serve as
a soou lossoa TO nitn i'll the tuturs.

District Court.

Judge Allen adjourned court last
Tuesday after disposing of twenty
four criminal cases, pleas of guilty
being entered in all them, except in
the case of Melancon, who was tried
by Jury and convicted. All the
prisoners were sentenced Saturday
with the exception of Melancon,
who received his sentence Tuesday.
During his trial Melancon stood
the ordeal with apparent sang-froid'
and manifested little or no anxiety,
but when the jury returned YER
dict of guilty, he broke down and
cried, and when taken to Jail, he
presented a pitiful sight. His neat
attire and downcast look offered a
striking contrast when seen in the
Jail with his ragged ccllmates, who
seemed Indifferent to their own fate,
while showing much sympathy for
their new companion.
The following parties were SEN
fenced to she penitentiary: Leonce
Perron, larceny, 9 months; Joseph
Mccoy, larceny, I year; Joseph
Broussard, larceny, 9 months; Louis

DR.. FELIX G.. LATLOI AIS.

1t becomes our painful duty to
chronicle tue death of DR.. Felix {.
Latiolais, one OF our best and mos:
widely known citizens, who died at
his home in Broussardvi!]e last
Thursday, surrounded by his family
and numerous friends. The la
mented doctor had been very i'll
several days preceding his death,
and bore his sufferings with Chris
tian fortitude and resignation.
DR.. Latiolais was born in this
parish 43 years ago. and resided
here continuously to the time of his
death. He was an honored de-
scendant of one of the oldest fami-
lies Of this section. Among the first
settlers in Louisiana was his great
grandfather, who founded an insti-
tuition Of learning known as the
"Coquelin College,, in New Or
leans, when that metropolis had not
yet grown to the size Of a city.
The raternal grandfather of the
doctor served as a soldier in the
battle Of New Orleans, and was Sc
!ected by Gen. Jackson among, many
| daring men to carry a very impor-
tant dispatch, which he successfully
transmitted as directed by that ia
| nous commander.
From his earliest manhood Doc
| tor Latiolais showed very decided
taste for the profession of mcdicins,
which he subsequently followed
BY constant application to his
studies and devotion to the profes-
sion of his choice, he had estab-
lished very lucrative practice, and
was recognized as one of the leading
and most successful physicians in
this parish.
! Felix I.atiolais was a man OF
very pronounced characteristics
open and fearless in his convictions
and capable of the truest friend
ship. In politics no one ever had
reason to doubt his sincerity in the
cause that he espoused, as he always
enlisted himself with his whole hear,
and his whole mind. AS a citi-
zen he never shirked his
duties, however irksome they
might be. At the time of his
death he was chairman of the Dem
ocratic Executive committee, and
resolutions passed by that body ,ex-
pressive of his sterling worth,
sh ows the high esteem in which he
was held by his fellow m ocrats.
This distinguished citizen, good
father and husband, was daily grow
ing in the love, respect and conf:
dence of his countrymen, when the
untin,ely summons gathered him &c
fathers. and we'll may those who
knew him sincerely regret his depar
| ture. Death is always sad. but sad
der still when it takes away one IN
the prime Of manhood and in the
days Of his usefulness.

THE FIRST GUN

In New York For Soxt rall-N Republican
Elected to Congress to Succeed John II.
Fellows-0niGs's Brilliant Yictory-The
Result of National Imp Richard
Croker's Prophecy Comes True.
New York. Jan. 30-rhe special elec.
tions to-day for two congressman, in
tho Fourteenth and Fifteenth districts,
resulted in an even distribution as far
as the political parties are concered. but
the Republicans arc re- eioicing over their
signal victory in the Fourteenth district.
There the Republican candidate. Lem
uel Ely Quigg, led his rival, Wm.r L.
Brown, by 903 votes and thus succeeds
to the seat left vacant by Colenel John
r. Fellows, Dem now district nttor-
ney. In the Fifteenth district Isadore
Straus was elected over Frederick Sig
rist (Republican). Mr.. Straus succeeds
Ashbe' P. Fitch Dem, now comptrol-
Ter OF this city.
The defeat OF Brown came as some
thing OF n surprise to many. His nomi-
nation was considered rs a guarantee OF
his election and he had declined to run
for his old seat in the state senate on
the promise Of nomination for Con.
gress. It became apparent, however,
at tho close of the campaign that Mr..
Quigg was making an unparalleled
fight and his chances grew brighter
every day. This being the first con.
gressional election since tho com.
mencomentot the general agitation over
the income tax, the result Is important
1t lends color to q reported remark
made by Richard Croker in his
late interview with President Cleve-
land, that the passage OF tho Wilson
bill would impair the chances Of the
Democratic congressional candidates in
New York.

IN TIE SENATE.

Tho Day to Vote on the Election dill Fix
cd-The Dobato on tho Bond Question.
WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. 3o.-The
senate bas finally named the day when
tho final vote is to be taken on the bill
repealing the federal election law. AZ
ter another long colloquy to-day be-
tween Senator'S Gray and Chandler, the
Republicans consented that general de-
bate on tho measure should close next
Tuesday at 4 p. m. After that hour,
amendments may bo presented and
passed upon, but the final vote must be
taken before tho adjournment OF the
senate on that day. z
The bond, question came up in the
senate again to-day, and after long
debate went over by unanimous con-
sent until tomorrow. The significant
feature OF the discussion was the firm
stand taken by Senator Sherman In
favor OF the authority Of Secretary Car.
Isle to issue the bonds. The gold re-.
servo he declared to be fund which
ahould be preserve inviolate. and he
thought it even mandatory, rather than
discretionary, with Secretary Carlisle to
sell at least sufficient bonds to restore
the gold reserve.
Attic conclusion OF Senator sher-
mans remarks, Senator Quay intro
duced an amendment to tho resolution,
tho purport OF which was 4 declaration
that tho secretary OF the treasury had
no power except to provide for the re-
demption of tho legal tender notes Of
the United States presented at the SUBJ
treasury in tho city Of New York - 4,
Senator Dubois (Rep., Idaho), as n
substitute for the pending resolutions,
presented tho following:
l "RtSolvld, That it is tho sonse OF tho
senate OF the United States that tho
secretary OF the treasury has no author
ity under eSiating law to issue and soil
the bonds OF the United States except
such as conferred upon him by.the act
approved January II, 1875, entitled AN
act TO provide for the RESUMPTION of
specie payment, and that the money
derived from the sale OF bonds issued
under that act cannot be lawfully used
for.any other purpose except for that
provided therein. y
This resolution seemed to meet with
favor.
"I approve OF that resolution said
Senator Sherman.
"The question OF maintaining tho
credit OF tho government" said Senator
Teller, "is not ono that ought to bo in
terfered with by partisan feeling. I am
as anxious to maintain tho character Of
the government with reference to its
financial affairs under this administra-
ton as should be il it was under a Re-
publican administration. | say that il
we have reached point where tho issue
OF bonds is necessary for current OK
pcnses. then it is necessary for Congress
10 provide means and legislation ior the
issue OF such bonds" IS.
Continuing, Senator Teller said he be-
lieved the financial difficulties were not
duo to the impending tariff legislation,
but to the repeal Of the Sherman act,
and that the difficulty began in 1878
and has been continued by the acts Of
Congress since that time.
