Father Iaforest and his cOngre-
cation celebrated on Saturday a
solemn requiem mass for the Amer
lean soldiers who have fallen during
the present war. a very large con-
gregation assembled to take part in
the ceremonies which were Of a
most inspiring character. Father
Laforest was assisted by Father De-
stakalper, Of Grand Coteau, who
delivered fine sermon in English
appropriate to the subject. A mag
nificently decorated catafalque sur
mounted by handsome coffin, oc-
cupied the centre Of the church,
guarded by a squad of armed men.
A salute was fired at the elevation
Of the Host, there was fine music
and the service for the dead heroes
was carried out with all the pomp
and grandeur Of the Catholic
church. From the portrait of the
American eagle, draped with the
flag and streamers of Grape at the
entrance, up to the purple decora-
tons of the brilliantly lit altar, all
bespoke patriotism, the inscription
at the door reading thus: "Glory
and honor to our brave soldiers. -
Father Laforest, always capable,
surpassed all former efforts upon
this occasion, and he and his as
sistants are to be congratulated up
on this most impress i've and benef-
Cial ceremonial.

The young hOOdlums who have
made themselves obnoxious to the
good people Of the second ward by
breaking prayer meetings and COM
hitting other acts Of hoodlu1nnism
should be severely punished, if the
accusations against them are sub
stantiated by the evidence. People
who have not enough dccency to
behave themselves at places of
worship should be made to do so
by the law. There are laws ex-
pressly for that purpose and they
should be rigidly enforced, for
those who violate them deserve no
sympathy and should receive none.
Hoodlumnism should be crushed in
its incipient stages, and young men
who aspire to become hoodlums to
terrorize women and children are
entitled to no leniency at the hands
Of the community and the court.
The budding hoodlumnism of the
second ward should be checked be-
fore it becomes stronger and more
dangerous. By melting out just
punishment to young men with
hoodlumnistic propensities desire
to break the laws is subdued and
the youthful disturbers Of the peace
are taught before it is too late that
the ssway Of the transgressor is
hard"

remedy for charban which has
been tried and found to be very
successful. Those who have char
bon among their stock are urged to-
try this remedy. 1t has been very
effective and there is no reason why
it should not be so now. The fol-
lowing is the remedy:
Equal parts of ammonia, turpentne and
iodine; add little carbolic acid, enough! toy
cause it to mix thoroughly. Apply iodine
around the swelling first, then the Imminent
to the swollen part. Drench with half pi::t
whiskey, half pint water, one tablespoonful
chlorate of potash. Use this remedy two or
three times a day.

tramway over the property of the
defendant. The road, which is

The Gazette congratulates its
good Republican friend, Felix Bien-

selection as chief deputy by United
States Marshal Fontelieu. Mr.. Bien-
venu has been a consistent Repub-

lowed the fortunes Of that party.
He is a man of convictions, out
spoken and fearless in the advocacy
of what he believes to be right, true
to his friends and fair in his deal
ings with all men. The Gazette is
not addicted to the bad habit Of
congratulating Republicans upon
their promotion to office, but in
this case it cheerfully suspends its
rules of conduct in matters polite ii
and most sincerely extends its hearty
Fluctuations to Mr.. Bienvenu.
That Marshal Fontelieu has made
splendid selection The Gazette
IS confident that time will prove, as
Mr.. Bienvenu will bring into the
discharge Of his duties the affability
for which is known and the square
business principles which have
characterized his l. fe.

THE TOWNS ANSWER.
Filed in The District Court,
Charges Fraud and Collision.


The answer filed by the Councils
attorneys, Messrs. Caffery, Girard,
Mouton and Campbell, makes GER
tain charges which,, if substantiated,
will seriously reflect upon the char
acter and reputation of the Consoi-
dated Engineering Company and
Robert r. Zell, the towns consult
ing engineer.
The town AYERS that the Consoli-
dated Engineering Company has
used inferior material in the con-
struction of the plant, and not of the
kind stipulated in the contract; that
the work was done in an unwork-
manlike and defective manner; that
although the time for the compile
ton of the plant has long since
past, it is still incomplete.
The defendant specially charges
that the boilers, which seem to be
the source of most of the trouble,
are inferior and defective in capa-
city, economy and safety; that they
are badly set and not up to the re-
quirements of the contract
The charge is made ssthat by col
fusion and fraud between them, the
Consolidated Engineering Company
and Robert R. Zel, the towns STU
perintending engineer, the inferior
and defective material was used and
the unworkmanlike work was done,
and the same afterward fraudulent
ly, enormously and to the great in
jury and damage of defendant, was
certified by Zell as having been
done in accordance with the con-
tract"
1t is futher charged by the defen-
dant @that the boilers nominally
acquired by plaintiff from the Ala
bama Bridge and Boiler Works,
were in fact acquired from r.. r.
Zell; all Of which has come to the
knowledge of defendant since de-
livery of the plant.''
The towns counsel allege that
s:although duly notified to do SO,
the Consolida ted Engineering Com
pany, has failed and refused to
comply with the terms Of the con-
tract by placing boilers of the kind
and quality required by the con-
tract, and removing other inferior
material therefrom.'
The town claims that by it's fail
ure to comply with the contract the
company has caused the corpora
ton loss, injury and damage to the
amount of $1,000, and owing to the
fraudulent Vaccinations of plain
tiff $500 is the sum sued for as
attorneys fees. All rights against
the American Surety Company, on
the bond Of the Consolidated En-
gineering Company, are reserved.
The town also reserves the right to
claim compensation for reflective
material and work not now known
as we'll as for the maintenance of
said plant, and for general relief"
