Compromised the Case.

w. S. Gault, father of the little
girl that was so terribly mutilated by
being run over by the Euhice train,
was in town Friday. Mr.. Gault
stated to the Signal that he had COM
promised his case against the railroad.
It was his intention to press the suit,
but Mr.. Cox, claim agent for the
railroad, arrived at Morse station
Friday, and after consultation with
Mr.. and Mrs. Gault the case was
compromised by the payment on the
part of the railroad through Mr.. Cox
of $4,000, Mr.. Gault releasing the
railroad from all further responsibility
in the case.-Signal.

The New York Cotton Exchange is
debating the propriety of placing a
premium on cotton raised on the gulf
coast. If adopted this will benefit
aour farmers. A member of the ex-
change says: 1.-THE Gulf cotton has
"a longer staple than the cotton of or
adinary growth, and is consequently
worth more. We believe that if a
proper valuation were placed on this
cotton by the Exchange it would be
attracted here, to be held on contract
at the stores. This would benefit the
local trade by bringing to New York
cotton that goes elsewhere on account
of the valuation"

Raise Cabbage.

P. j. Robicheaux, who lives on the
bayou Queue Tortue, was in town
Thursday with a load Of cabbage. In
a conversation with the Signal he
stated that cabbage was a profitable
crop, and that last year he raised
enough on one acre to pay for forty
cre Of land. Cabbage sells for from
fifty to ninety cents a dozen heads,
and 5000 heads can be raised to the
acre. Taken at five cents a head,
which is a good average, it would
mean $500 to the acre. Mr.. Robi-
deaux is recognized as one of the most
thrifty and successful farmers in the
parish, and Others would do well to
follow his plan Of diyersifying things.

Some idea of the Importance of
Crowley as a rice market may be
gathered from the fact that the re-
-ceipts in New Orleans to January 10,
were 566, $40 sacks, while those of
Crowley for the same period were
271,226 sacks, nearly one-half as
large as those of the great city of
New Orleans. And in this connec-
ton it may be well to observe that
the pre- railing good prices for rough
rice are due to the fact that Crowley
has five large, fine rice mills owned
by home people and not in the iniqui-
tous rice millers combine, which con-
Germ has always heretofore controlled
the market and generally put down
prices to the very lowest notch. If
rice is selling for a fair price to-day
the farmers can thank the Crowley
mills for it.

Mr.. Sully is peculiarly vigorous and

the Contractor" is said to be a play
of marked dramatic possibilities, with
a story that sustains its interest to
the end. 1t is not lacking in realism,
the railroad building scene in the sec

true to nature, while the driving of the
Golden Spike creates unbounded en-

is one of those plays that will excite
critical enthusiasm, and it has many
excellencies that other dramas of the

General Gomez VIII Proceed With the
Plans for Paying the Cuban Troops.
HAVANA, March 15.-Gen. Gomez has
decided to proceed with the plans agreed
upon for distributing the So, 10000 to the
Cuban troops on disbanding, as though
the military assembly did not exist. He
conferred for two hours to-day with Gov
ernor General Brooke regarding details.
Gen. Brooke asked Washington several
days ago whether in case he dissolved the
assembly, his action would he approved.
The cable reply authorized him to dissolve
that body, if N his judgment such an act
was necessary. He hopes the assembly
will soon cease of its own accord to hold
it's sessions, but should sessions disqu;et-
ing to the public mind continue. he will
intervene.
Havana is much more quiet to-day and
less excitement is noticeable.
This afternoons demonstration in favor
of Gomez, in which all the patriotic clubs,
with banners and bands, as we'll as many
women and children took part, was better
organized than that of Monday, though
not SO spontaneous. Several thousand
people paraded to the Qu.nta de los Moli
nos where Gen. Gomez resides.
He made his appearance and addressed
them, and the procession did not return
until after night fall
