NEW ORLEANS, La, Aug. 9.-Wednes.
day night last in st. Charles Parish, Jules
Gueymaud, storekeeper. was assassina-
ted while standing on his front porch. A
Sicilian. named Lorenzo Saladino was
known to have had grudge against Guey-
maudand and he was suspected. Circum-
stantial evidence caused his arrest on
Friday. The Sheriff had great difficulty
in preventing the people from lynching
Saladino then and there. and secretly con-
veyed the prisoner to HahnviIle, the
county seat, and placed him in Jail. This
prison is new brick structure, and was
guarded by negro night watchman who
has performed the duty for several years.
Two other Italians named Decino and
Angelo Marcuso. were confined in the Jail
for the murder of an aged Spaniard on
one of the plantations.
About midnight last night q mob of
about fifty persons, well armed, surprised
the guard, battered down the doors of the
Jail and took out the three Italians. The
prisoners cried and begged for mercy, but
the crowd took them to q stable short
distance away, gave them two minutes in
which to pray and then strung up all
three, of them by the necks 10 the rafters.
The crowd stood around few minutog
until the bodies ceased to struggle and
then opened fire with their Winchester
rifles on the dangling forms. literally
riddling them with bullets. The lynchers
then quickly dispersed.
The news soon spread and by daylight
a big crowd gathered where the three
bodies were yet hanging, presenting
CHASTITY sight. 1t is said the lynching
party came from st. Gabriel, the former
home of Gueymaud, but none of the men
were recognized.

Orr Afflicted Ones Being Looked
After.
A Sw .et Missionary in Shreve-
port in the Interest Of
These Wards of
Louisiana.

Tuesday, our genial friend, Major
Will H. Tunnard, honored our eal-
tor with an introduction to Miss Mary
S. Cross, OF Baton Rouge. who is
travelling ia the interest of most holy
missionary work, the deaf, dumb and
blind institutions of orr State.
1t Was ind ed 3 re- 9 u q to sit and
hear this gifted, talented, beautiful
young woman talk in artless, though
Sublime mnnner Of her mission, her
work. her aim. She has been ali
over North Louisiana, she said and
had met with respect, courtesy aud
encouragement everywhere, showing
that our people were indeed CHAIR
table people indeed who felt for the
afflicted of the human family Of our
State. Miss Cross is instructor in
the institution for the blind, though
she was gathering pupils for the deaf
and dumb colleges rs we'll as her
her own.
She said that she had found tina /
many parents objected sending their
children to these institutions because
they denominated them asylums
when as matter of fact they were
70 more 80 than the Normal School,
Industrial School and State Univer-
sisy. In these asylums for the d eaf,
dumb and blind children are educated
taught the arts and some trade too.
In the blind all are taught music, one
of the best teachers in the STATE, be.
ing instructor of music.
Children from 5 to % years of age
are Taught IN the blind, and from s
to rs in the deaf>and dumb. They
are allowed 20 visit their homes dur
ing vacation just like all other insti-
tutions.
Parents should not be restrained
from sending their children frem
overly sensitive reasons. s These .nsti-
tutions equip their dear ones with
that education and general lnstruc-
ton which they cannot receive at
home. and it is done free. And fur
ther, when the parents are too poor
to pay fare for sending their chill
dren 70 Baton Rouge, the State will
pay it If the parents will get the Po-
lice Jury Of the parish to certify that
the parents are not able.
All interested should read this
carefully and communicate with the
managers Of either institution, at
baton Rouge, aud the matter will be
satisfactorily arranged.

j. W. Houston. the real estate deal
er, yesterday fled suit in the Third dis
trict court against David Keith, James
1vers and Frank Harrigan to recover
$16,950 damages as a result of being
ousted from the peaceable possession of
his office rooms at 230 South Main
street.
The complaint alleges that plaintiff
had a lease to the premises in ques-
ton for term of two years extending
from March l, 1895, for which he was to
pay $500 or $40 per month. Plaintiff
says he took possession of the prem
ises and held them until between Nov.
and Is of that year, at which time
defendants consDired and drove him
out of the store tearing down signs and
demolishing the roof and ceiling of the
room and destroying a great amount Of
PLAINTIFFS personal property. Among
the property destroyed is enumerated
two typeWriters, two Office desks, sever
al wall maps and large amount of
paraphernalia usually found in real es-
tate offices, all of which is valued at
1,500. The leasehold of the plaintiff is
placed at $1,000 and an additional 5000
is added for improvements expended on
the building. Mr. Houston further asks
that he be allowed $4,000 by reason of
the loss of location, in consequence of
which he states that his business has
fallen off. For the loss of three weeks
time he adds $50, and for defendants
sale of some rent boards which the
plaintiff found necessary to replace
$500. Last but not least he asks for
$4,000 exemplary damages by reason
of the malicious, wanton and oppressive
character of all the wrongful acts al
legged, making a total of $16,95O.
Loofbourow & Kahn are the attor-
neys for plaintiff.

TERRLL WILL NOT TALK

ST. LOUIS. May 15.-Judge A. w.
Terrell. American minister to Turkey,
passed through st. Louis last night on
his way back to Washington, where
he has been summoned by President
Cleveland. Minister Terrell begged to
be excused from discussing Turkish
affairs.
Freedom of speech is privilege, =
he said, (which we all value, but re-
cent events show that this luxury is
one of which our people who stay at
home are quite jealous and they have
made some conspicuous objections to
its representatives abroad"
He did not say that he expected to
return to Constantinople soon, but his
replies TO questions indicated as much
Asked what he thought of the charge
that he had not taken a bold Christian
stand in Turkey, Minister Terrell re-
piled that he did not consider the criti-
cism or the missionary who made them
worth noticing. If any answer to the
charge were needed President Cleve-.
land had given it in his message.

With Jurymcn.

James Austin Accused of Tampering
with Jurymcn.
While engaged in trimming the grass
around the trees on the lawn in front
of his house, yesterday forenoon, James
Austin, the juror who hung out for an
acquittal in the Hayken case, was ap-
preached by a pailiff from the district
court and told To report to Judge Ro-
lapp, at once.
Austin responded and was taken into
chambers, where he was told he was
accused Of tampering with or attempt
ing to tamper with the jury in the Nor
ris case. To this Austin replied that he
did not know any. of the jury; that he
had not tempered with any of them or
attempted to tamper with them.
Austin informed the judge that he
had heard rumors about his action in
the Hayken case and he desired to
say that he took the course he did be-
cause he believed he was right and
when he believed he was right that no
one could move him while he was on
the jury and certainly would not at
tempt to tamper with another juryman
on another case.
Judge Rolapp expressed himself as
satisfied and Austin returned home and
finished cutting the grass.
