The depot of the Southern Pa.
cifc Company at Cade, was de.
stroyed by fire last Friday al
about two o'clock in the evening.
One car containing cross ties was
entirely consumed, and several
other cars were slightly damaged.
The train from st. Martinville and
another train which arrived at the
same time came in time to pull
the other cars away from the
switches close to the burning bull
ding, which we're in great danger,
and also greatly endangered the
store and other buildings belong

which are close to the station,
and the wind was blowing in that
This FIRE just about
fifteen days after the Duchamp
fire, looks somewhat suspicious,
but the fact that the fire, as that
at Duchamp, took from the roof,
is proof that it was accidental, and
caused by sparks from
locomotives. Everything,
nearly, that was stored in the de-
pot was saved.

The King Bridge Company has
again captured the contract from
the Police Jury for the building
of a Steel bridge at Bresux Bridge
the contract price is $3.50. It is
to be hoped that the Police Jury
will be on their guard this time
and not be fooled by the Bridge
Co., as they were in contracting
with them for our bridge, and will
put in their contract all the clau-
ses for a complete bridge, not
with half built walls and hog pens
at each end.

A REPUBLICAN PLURALITY OF FROM 1900
TO 10000 on A DECREASED VOTE
New Haven. Nov. S.-The result OF the cleo
ton in this State to-day shows a general victory
for the Republican ticket. The majorities of the
candidates on the state ticket will average fully
$4,000. with some changes likely when the larger
cities are officially heard from. The vote shows
a falling off of about 1000 from that cast at the
election Of two years ago. The Republican can
didates appear to have suffered most from the
general decrease in the vote, but no particular
disaffection can be said to be shown by the gen
eral result.
The only real contest was in the lid District.
where Congressman y. D. Sperry, the Republi-
can nominee. and James II. Webb. Democrat,
were the opposing candidates. Webb succeeded
In cutting Sperrys majority Of two years ago to
a considerable extent but the Republicans at a
late hour claim the election of their candidate
by a safe majority. The returns indicate that
the Republicans will have majority OF at ieast
fifty in the General Assembly.

carrying Boston, which is usually Democratic
