lnvestig .tins Election Prau,ls,
The grand jury will reasonable on
Mon lay and 1t is said that the inves
tlgatlon into the last election, which
had been begun when tho Jury took
a recess, will be resumed. It Is
known that a number of subpoenas
have been issued to gentlemen in diff
ferent wards to appear as witnesses.
There Is feeling that the grand
jury will make some SORT of pre-
sentiment in the matter, but it is not
believed thhat any indictments will
be found .--Donaldsonville Times.

anybody's fight just now, with the
odds apparently IN SAVIOR of the Or
leans man, although Congressman
Price has host of friends and is
putting up a magnificent fight. -
