Mayor Burke of New Iberia, has
issued the following proclamation
to which the attention Of cur people
is called. Though there need be
no fear at present, the necessary
precautions should be taken:
Noticing from the public press,
that smallpox is prevailing in many
parts of the country, and is daily
spreading to the four parts of the
compass, aud with the rapid com
munications of the times it may en-
ter our own little city, like thief in
the night; unannounced; 1t there
fore becomes the duty of our peo-
pie to take all the precautions ne
cessary to ward off the virulence Of
the enemy, if he were to make his
loathsome appearance in our midst.
In view of which I call upon the
parents of all the children attending
the public schools, to have their
children vacCinated as early as pos
sible, and invite all parents of the
city to do likewise, and take no
risk Of designation.
VIM. r. BURKE.

hospitable Christian lady and her
death will be the source of much
sorrow and aIiliction in many
homes. She was the wife Of the
wellknown physician, DR.. N. ID.
Young, and the mother Of several

Free Speech.

fTSo speech.
Chicago Inter-Ocean.
There have been recently two ILL
beral manifestations Of religious
partisanship. The one was in New
Jersey, where certain protestants,
more Jealous than wise, sought to
inhibit Robert Ingersoll from de-
lieving one Of his lectures. The
other was in Georgia, where a mob
of Catholics sought to prevent
person named Slattery, who is in
search of notoriety and dollars,
from delivering lecture. Inger-
soils lecture was against all and
singular forms of religious belief.
Slattery's was against the Catholic
form of religion. The Savannah
demonstration was by far more de-
plorable than in New Jersey, be-
cause it was lawless. It was sup
pressed by an armed force. All such
demonstrations must be stopped.
The right to free speech is essential.
Mr.. Slattery is not very learned
man, he may not be a very estina-
bic man, but learned or ignorant,
reputable or disreputable, he has
legal right to criticise any or all
forms of political or religious be-

To tho Lafayette Gazette:
Somehow yO;ir correspondents
are not doing their duty as we don't
hear from them often enough.
Well, winter is slowly leaving US
after long, unwelcome stay, and
with it are gone many poor cattle
and horses. Farmers do not pro-
vide sufficiency of hay and other
food for their stock in the winter.
We are busy planting corn and
blowing the land to plant rice.
There will be large reduction in
the cotton acreage in this part of
the parish Notwithstanding the fact
that the city buyers have raised the
price as they unusually do at plant
ing time. If they did not do that
many would not plant cotton at all.
1t is beautiful sight to see the
pear trees in bloom in my orchard.
There will be a large crop of this

Plenty of new land is being
plowed, there being large increase

year.
Mr.. Editor, Lafayette is the
banner parish for bad roads and dogs.
There should be some way to re-
pair our roads or travelling will have
to be stopped, and some effort
should be made to improve the
breed of our dogs. OF course we
must have them, as they are the
only animals allowed to roam at
large. Even the poorest man can
afford to own seven or eight dogs,
when he is unable to have any hogs
as the latter are not permitted to
run at large
Our public school taught by
Robert Cunningham is working
finely. He is competent teacher.
The price of eggs here last week
was down to S cents a Dozen; even at
that price there was no demand for
them.
The severe winter has raised the
price of corn to one dollar. flour
farmers would plant sorghum-cane
for hogs, it would save them much

This plant produces we'll on any
kind of soil and dry weather does
not retard its growth. Farmers,
try it. Plant it near your hog pas

A FavOrite Amusement.

There are some people in this
town who seem to take special de-
light in tearing down funeral no
tees. 1t may be strange, but is
nevertheless true that funeral no.
tees are torn off the posts to
which they are tackled, in a most
reckless manner. This is wonton
vandalism and people should wait
until after the funeral to indulge in
what seems to be favorite amuse-
ment.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct. 1.-The will
of Darius A. Martin wealthy grain deal
er of this city, who died on August 26,
tells the story OF man who for 80 years
had two wives, one in Chicago, and the
other in this city
He was member of the Chamber of
Commerce, and in this city, he and his
wife moved in the best OF society. The
dual existence OF the man comes to light
through the petition of Anna III. j. Mar
tin of Chicago, for proof OF the will in
the PROBATE Court here. She sets up the
claim that for 10 years she has been the
common-law wife Of Darius A. Martin, and
that she has a son by him, II years old,
Willie r. Martin. The will as now filed
Is minus the signature, which has been
torn off, but II was witnessed by w. III.
Wood and r. G.. Wissert, q well-known
lawyer OF this city. BY its terms, Ellen
M. Martin, for 20 years the Milwaukee,
wife Of ID. A. Martin, gets the interest on
Sl5. 900 during her lifetime. Anna n. j..
Martin, the Chicago wife, gets the inter-
est on $40, 600 during her life time. The
remainder of the estate, which consists
of $50 900 In personal property and real
estate, which yields an annual rental OF
$4,000, is to be divided between Willie
Martin. the child by the Chicago wife.
and Ellen NJ. Martin, the Milwaukee
wife. On August 81 Ellen M. Martin
filed a petition in the Probate Court,
claiming that Darius Martin had died
without leaving a WILL and asking that a
special executor be appointed. The pres
ent move of the Chicago wife is to COM
bat this action.

HEAVY GALE.
Damage on the
English Coast.
Steamers Driven Ashore on
Goodwin Sands.
Life Savers Drowned While in the
Performance Of Duty.
Steam Tug Went Down After a Deter
mined Struggle-Ensineer Drowned.

LONDON, Oct. 2.-The intense heat
which prevailed throughout Great Brit
ain for the past 10 days, eliminated yes
terday in a sudden drop OF 10 degrees in
temperature. This was followed by a
heavy gale, which has caused much dam
age along the coast. A dispatch from
Deal, announces that two steamers have
driven ashore on the treacherous Good
win Sands, and the news of other disss-
ters TO shipping Is constantly being re-
ceived.
A telegram from nfracomb, on the
North coast OF Devonshire, at the mouth
OF the Bristol Channel, announces that
six would-be life savers have been
drowned while attempting TO rescue the
crew OF the ketch Arabella, which was
ashore in dangerous position off that
coast.
Several vessels are reported as being
ashore on the Gore Sands. Their crews
have been rescued by the life boat men.
On the Somersetshire Coast, there have
been several exciting rescues and in
Bridgewater Bay, steam tug after a
long battle with the waves, sank near the
shore, drowning her engineer who stuck
to his post to the last. The remaining
members of the tugs crew succeeded in
swimming ashore.
Dispatches received here from Liver
pool, say that the gale there was accom-
panied by a binding rain, and that a
number OF ships in the river Mersey dis
played signals OF distress.
The same state of affairs is reported
from other parts of the country, and all
along the coasts, the lifeboat men were
kept busy throughout the night, succeed
ing in saving many lives.
The full extent of the ravages OF the
gale will, naturally not be known for
some days to come; bnt there is no doubt
that the shipping interests have suffered
considerably. No damage to American
ships has been reported up to the present.
Fishing Boats Missing.
LONDON, Oct. "A telegram from
Southport states that ii Is feared that
several fishing boats belonging to that
place have been lost during the gale of
last night
A despatch from Black Pool announces
that three fishing smacks hailing from
that port foundered during the night and
in spite of the efforts which the lifeboat
men made TO assist them, five OF the fish
ermen were drowned.
