When the City Item circulated
broadcast over the land the report
that Isaac Broussard, Sheriff Of
Lafayette Parish, was = defaulter,
the Clarion promptly pronounced
the statement q lie. We felt that
it was but q thinly disguised
scheme of the Item to murder po-
litically this gallant and beloved
Democratic leader, schemes that
that paper has been known to resort
to on several occasions. There
fore, we are glad to be able to give
below the result of an investiga-
ton into the matter by the Lafay-
cite Grand Jury, which completely
exonerates, if such was needed, the
beloved young Sheriff Of our sister
parish:
eve took special occasion to
make minute investigation of the
Sheriff's accounts both with the
parish and State, and we are proud
to say to the people of the parish
that the scurrilous article that APP
peared in the Daily City Item some
time since, charging the Sheriff
with defalcation of State funds,
was and is absolutely false and
libelous. Sheriff Broussard's ac-
counts not only show that he is in
good account with both State and
parish, but they also show that he
has settled with the Auditor for
amounts due on deduction tax list
and holds the Auditors receipts
therefor. st. Landry Clarion.
The report of the grand jury of
Lafayette parish thoroughly vindi-
Gates the administration of Sheriff
Broussard of that parish. Among
those who know and know of Sher-
if Broussard the vindication is un-
necessary, but for the benefit of
those who do not know that splen-
did public officer we are glad to
see this report, as Sheriff Brous-
sard is one of the best officers in
our State and one Of its purest citi-
zens.-Baton Rouge Bulletin.
As an outcome of the article in
the Daily Item, Sheriff Broussard
met Mr.. O'Malley, editor of that
paper, in New Orleans, last Satur-
day morning, and assaulted him
with his fist, knocking his hat OF,
when friends interfered and stopped
any further trouble.

The Revolver Trade.

"There has been more progress
made in the revolver trade in the past
ten years." explained Connecticut
revolver manufactures to Star re-
porter, ethan in any other line of
trade that 1 know Of There was a
time when even the old-fashioned,
single barrel pistol could not be man
ufactured to sell for less than 81 or
even more. That time has gone, and
the single barreled pistol is thing of
the past. In its place came the re-
from vest pocket to the revolver
which is carried in a holster. The
prices have kept on going down rs the
revolvers have improved in manufac-
ture, SO that now perfect working
and reliable revolver can be bought at
retail as low as 81 and even the best
makes for 50 or SO. The self-cocking
and hammerless revolver, which five
years ago sold at retail at so and $12,
can now be bought by the car load as
low as 50 or SO, and the better goods
at from "a to So. In these arms the
best steel is used. The German re-
volver, which was the only one which
ever seriously competed with those of
American make, has about ran out its
race, and is nevered offered any more,
except in country stores, where it is
bought by boys. 1t is clumsier made
and heavier than the American revol-
yer. and no more compares with the
latter than does the English line of
revolvers, which at one time were very
freely sold in this country. Likewise,
the American rifle and shotgun have
outdistanced all other makes, though
German cheap shotguns still find
good market with those who do not
care to put much money in a gun.
The American double-barreled shot
gun, which sells at retail for about
$12, is much cheaper gun in the
long run than the German make
which sells at from IS to SO, as all of
those who have had experience with
them discovered long ago. Washing

will be made TO solve the problem Of
the labor cure for the insane. Each
patient will be intrusted with cer-
tain degree of responsibility and per-
suaded but not compelled to under
take certain amount of labor, which,
with diet carefully regulated and
regular hours of sleep and recreation,
will furnish an experiment under the
best conditions possible. AS DIR.
Godding, the superintendent of st.
Elizabeth's, put it, says the Chicago
Record "It is the intention to estab-
lish pioneer colony of insane men,
carefully selected from the quiet class
of inmates, to whom home where
they can sit under their own vine and
fig tree, enjoying the fruit of their
labors, will be something hitherto
unknown to their hospital life. A
moderate outlay for inexpensive farm
cottages, little patience in the de-
velopment of the work and an abiding
faith in the result are all that is
needed to take them away from the
hospital atmosphere and out of the
new farm vistas to open wider hori-
IONS to the everyday life of the
insane"

A Valuable Fowl.

Henry w. Brodt, proprietor of the
CONNER cial Hotel of this city, made q
remarkable discovery yesterday, which
confirms the theory of biologists that
the small gravel-bottom creeks south
east Of here contain gold washed from
the sides of the knobs. Andrew
Blackall, poultry dealer here, pur-
chased some chickens of farmer who
lives in Finley township, on one If
these gravel streams, close to the
Knobs. One of the fowls, q large
rooster, he sold to Mr.. Brodt, who
had it prepared for dinner. The sur
prise of the cook can be imagined
when, on dressing the chicken, she
found in its craw n nugget Of what APP
peared to be gold. 1t was taken to q
ieweler, who pronounced it q pure
specimen of the precious metal. It's
weight was found to be thirty eight
grains The nugget is bright, solid
lump, in its natural state, which
shows that the gold is a native pro-
duct Of the county. - Indianapolis

Fuel in Liquid Form.

Liquid fuel is coming into general
use among engineers, and there can be
little doubt that if road carriages are
to be propelled by steam, the only fuel
admissible will be some form of petro-
leum. At late meeting of the North
east Coast Institution in South Shields,
Mr.. r. r. Wallis read paper giving
the results of many experiments to
ascertain the calorific and evaporative
value of various oils as fuel for steam
raising. In comparing coal and oil
he shows that the value of each varies
greatly with the quality and circum-
stances under which burned, oil do
ing from one and half to two and
half times the work of an equal weight
of coal. This is accounted for, first,
by the complete combustion of oil
without loss of heat in SCOT or smoke;
second, because there are no fires to-
clean with the accompanying loss of
heat and fall of steam pressure, the
pressure and revolution of the engines
being maintained; third, because the
boiler tubes are always clean and in
the best condition for the heat from
gases passing through them to the
boiler, and fourth, because the tenn
perature of the escaping gases may be
lower than is necessary to create the
draught necessary for coal firing.
There are no bars nor thick fire for
the air to force its way through; the
required amount of air can be drawn
through the furnace by lower mp
take temperature, and the admission
of air being under complete control
and the fuel burned in fine particles in
close contact with the oxygen of the
air, only very small excess of air is
required. Itoccupies, moreover, only
half the space needed for coal. Ma
tional Recorder.

Finding Coin in Delaware.

The finding of considerable guam
tity of gold coin ON the old Potter farm
about three miles from Wilmington,
Del, has caused considerable excite
ment among the residents of McKees
Hill. A colored man was at work in
a meadow on the farm when his shovel
turned up piece of yellow metal,
which, upon examination, proved to
be a $40 gold piece. Although excl
ted, the man kept on digging until he
had unearthed several more golden
coins. Then John Banks and George
Clymer, seeing his antics, thought he
had gone stark mad and went over to
the field where he was digging. They
also were amazed at the discovery of
gold, and the three men were reward
ed by finding about 81 900 in gold.
The money was chiefly in denomina-
tions of So and so and gave evidence
of excellent preservation. The fact
that the coins bore dates ranging from
1880 to 1850 led some to believe that
the farm laborers had discovered one
of the places where John Hare, the
noted highwayman and robber, secret
ed his ill-gotten gains years ago. Hare
for many years was the terror of the
neighborhood. 1t was frequent oc-
currence for him TO hold up men on
the roads leading to and from Whining.

SONG


II you'll sing song as you 60 along,
In the face of the real on the fancied
wrong;
In spite Of the doubt if you'll fight il
out,
And show heart that is brave and
stout;
If you'll laugh at the jeers and refuse
the tears,
You'll force the ever-reluctant cheers
That the world denies when the cow
ard cries,
To give to the man who bravely tries;
And you'll win success with little
song
If youth sing song as you go along !
If you'll sing song as you plod along,
You'll find that the busy, rushing
throng
Will catch the strain of the glad re-
That the sun will follow the binding
rain;x
That the ciAQds will fly from the black
ened sky;
And the stars will come out by and
5. by;
And you'll make new friends, till hope
descends
From where the placid rainbow bends;
And all because of little song
If you'll sing a song as you plod
along
If you'll sing song as you trudge
along,
You'll see that the singing will make
you strong;
And the heavy load and the rugged
road,
And the sting and the stripe of the
tortuous goad
Will soar with the note you set afoat;
That the beam will change to trifling
mote;
That the world is bad when you are
sad,
And bright and beautiful when glad,
That all you need is little song
If you'll sing the song as you trudge
along

A Novel Bridge.

Engineers are naturally interested
in the novel work which has lately
been undertaken at Rouen, France,
called "pont transbordeur, serving
all the purposes of bridge, while not
interfering with the free passage of
ships, even those with masts $50 feet
high. Two small Eiffel towers are to
be erected--one at each bank of the
Seine, quarters of mile below
the lowest existing bridge at Rouen-
and narrow iron bridge will be sus
pended by chain cables between their
heads. 1t is to be not less than 100
feet from the level of the quays, but is
not intended either for carriages or
foot passengers. Several lines of rail
are to be carried along it, and on these
skeleton carriage or platform on
wheels will run; this will be dragged
from side to side of the river by steel
ropes passing over driving wheel, to
be worked by steam or electricity from
one of the banks. To the skeleton
platform will be hung, by steel haw
sers, at the level of the quays, or 100
feet below the bridge, the transbor
deur-a strong carriage within which
passengers and vehicles will be trans
ported from one bank to the other.
This carriage is to be forty feet in
width by thirty three feet in length;
electric tramways running on the
luays on both sides of the river are to
make connection ut this point, and
tbia uahnr1aur will ha ftta1 RI
carry the tramcars so that passengers
by them will cross the river without
changing their seats.

Mining With Frost in Siberia.

In mining for gold in Siberia the
ground is kept clear of snow, so AS to
permit the cold to penetrate as deeply
as possible, after which the surface is
thawed by fires until shallow layer
Of earth can be removed The freez-
ing is then allowed to proceed and the
thawing operations repeated, and this
is continued as long as the cold wealth
Ell lasts. In this way through the
long Siberian winters open excava-
tions are made to the gold-bearing
rocks, the depths obtained being from
twenty-five to seventy-five feet, ac-
cording to the duration of the cold
season.
Artificial cold for the purposes of
excavation was first used by Poetsch
in 1888. By his well-known process
of cold brine through series of buried
pipes the most difficult quicksand may
be made hard enough to be excavated
like rock. In the article under con-
sideration are given general illustra-
tions and details of the apparatus used
i'll sinking the shafts at the Cour-
rieres mines, together with formulas
enabling the safe thickness of the
frozen wall to be computed for round
or square shafts of any given dimen-
siOns.
Among the important applications
of the freezing process are noted the
sinking of the shafts for the cylinders
of the hydraulic elevator for the canal
lift at Les Fontinettes, and the con-
struction of the tunnel at Stockholm.
The latter work was executed entirely
by the introduction of cold air into
the working chamber at the head of
the tunnel, the cold preventing infil-
tration of water until the beton lining
was built and the work of excavating
and mining. being carried on at tenn
peratures ranging between zero and
% degrees Fahrenheit. -Engineering

A Donkey's Fall.

"Jim," one of the pet donkeys at
Glen Island, disgraced himself in the
eyes of the management to-day by go
ing on spree, and as a consequence
is now locked up. A careless attend
ant left the gate of his Enclosure open
this morning and Jim took advantage
of it and began q tour of investigation.
He made his way to the back of the
large cafe at time when the beer
pumps were being cleaned. There
were two buckets of stale beer stand
ing near the door, which had recently
been drawn from the pumps. The
donkey shifted at the beverage, then
plunged his head in and never with
drew it until his nostrils pressed close
to the bottom. Then he turned his
attention to the second and was busily
engaged with it when an attendant
discovered him and attempted to drive
him away.
Jim was not in a mood to permit
liberties being taken, SO it was not
surprising that when the man took him
by the tail and began to twist it both
of his hind legs shot out with one ac-
cord and caught the man on the chest
The distance from Jim's hoofs to the
waters edge was about ten feet and
the man covered the space in remark
ably short time and reached the water
in sitting posture. He had to be
fished out to save him from drowning.
Then the donkey was dragged off to a
box stall and locked in.-Chicago

Passes Beneath Pixies Peak. 1000 Feet
Underground.


Two gangs of workmen have just
begun digging in Colorado the long,
est tunnel which man ever attempted
to construct. The main bore will be
twenty miles long, and connecting
with this are subsidiary miles. SO, in
reality, the task that has been put
under way is that of digging fifty
miles of tunnels, and every foot Of
this vast system will be under Pixies
Peak and the mountains that tower on
each side.
The starting point of the main tun-
mel, says the Cripple Greek Times, is
at the foot of the mountain leading up
to Pixies Peak, uear the old town Of
Colorado City. This point is but q
short distance from the railroads
which span the country between Col
orado Springs and Manitou. From
here it runs almost due southwest.
The further edge of the. tunnel is at
the edge of the mountains at Four
Mile Greek, over in Fremont County,
Colorado, six miles south of Cripple
Creek and near the little town of
Sunol. Two gangs of men, as stated,
are working on the tunnel, one at
each end. Just at present they are
making progress at the rate of thirty
feet day. 1t is believed that the
mammoth task they have undertaken
will be completed in seven years from
the first of the present month.
The main tunnel will pass directly
under the cone of Pixies Peak at a
depth of nearly 1000 feet and 2,700
feet beneath the town of Victor. It's
average depth from the surface will be
$500 feet, and it is designed to test
the mineral deposits of the territory
at these great depths. Thirty miles
of laterals are contemplated, and
these will pass underneath all the
Cripple Creek district at an average
depth of $500 feet. Cripple Creek,
Victor, Gillette, the various small
towns and thousand mines are to be
made tributary to this vast system.
Under present circumstances the
distance-the shortest way-from
Colorado Springs to Cripple Creek is
fifty-four miles. BY way of the tun-
mel the two cities will only be sixteen
miles apart. 1t is estimated by the
contractors that the average cost per
foot of excavation will be $50. This
makes the total probable expense of
digging the tunnel and its subsidiary
branches $40, $4,000
