LOCAL NEWS.


The following locals we're forced
out last week on account of legal
matter that came in at the last mo-
ment.
Miss Louise Hitter returned
home Thursday, after having spent
several months in New Orleans.
The frame of the new two sto-
ny building of Mr.. j. A. Gurin is
up, and work on same is progress
sing rapidly.
Mr.. P. l.. Guilbeau has the
bricks on the site, for the founda-
ton of his residence which will be
going up soon. His home will be
erected just in front of the elegant
property of his brother, Mr.. F. T..
Guilbeau.
We learn that in the course of
q short time work will commence
on the erection of the Saw mill.
,Messrs J. j. Burdin & Bro, hav-
ing bought the interest of the Hall
heirs, will rebuild the mill ON their
own account.
All the trees are looking proud
with their new dress of tender
green and their pretty flowers, the
effect Of spring is every where no
%iceable, and the perfume of the
sweet flowers pervade the cool at
mosphere.
"A street was this week open
ed between the properties of Mr..
g. H. Mouton and Burdin saw
mill, going TO the bayou, and Ma
yor Liable is having bitches dug
in order to drain that part oftown.
This new street will be of great
value to that section of town, as
Che traffic there is very great, and
being adjoining the Saw mill, Oil
Works and Railroad station, all
the heavy hauling is done right in
that part of town.
There is set of kids in this
town that should always be under
the eyes of the police, because
they are always mixed up in some
mischief. Tuesday night when a
strong wind was blowing they had
the torches of the music stand on
Che church green lit and we're
playing with fire and oil by pull
ing the wicks out and burning
them on the ground. Children,
particularly certain class of kids
should not be allowed to get ON
that stand at all, and the leader
of the band should ask the Mayor
TO iastruct his police to that eff

a while might cure them of their

Small pox is officially reported

The report says that four of the
patients have been discharged,
and no death has occurred from
that disease.
The town authorities are now
showing a great. deal of activity,
and great deal of work has been
done, and more is being done. In
a short time the town will be in
good condition again, to the great
satisfaction of our people.

now occupied by Fournet & Gary,
is for rent, possession 10 be given
after the first of May. 1t is one
of the very best locations in town.
For terms apply to Mr.. M. Bien-
venu.
We learn that the Sisters of
Mercy intend to build soon a large
building, to be used as school
house for the girls, the building,
we learn, will be erected on the
north side of the convent, a little
toward st. Martin street.
We learn that Prof. Greig will
organized in connection with his
band a choir to sing for the con-
certs and church purposes. The
Professor and his assistants should
have all the good will and help of
our citizens, for his efforts to enter
tain and people.
Mr.. A. l.. Domengeaux informs
us that he will soon build OH his
lot on Bridge street, two stores of
25 by so feet each. These stores
will be located in the business por-
ton of town, on the same block as
Mr.. Ferran's new building. These
new stores will have the tendency
of drawing the business to that
end Of the town.
The Iberian will make another
effort to publish a daily, evening,
in New Iberia. The people of New
Iberia have shown on several oc-
casions that they don't want a dai-
ly, and we fear this attempt Of
Bro. Weeks will be another fail
ure, though such an enterprise in
town the size of New Iberia
should be success, and such are
our best wishes, Weeks.
The people of New Iberia seem
to be in earnest when they talk of
capturing the Industrial School
which is to be established in the
third congressional district. A
report to the New Orleans papers
say that $1,000 has already been
subscribed by the town and pri-
vate subscription. We would
have liked to get that school, but
our people seem too slow in this
case to ever catch up with New
Iberia with the start she has over
US.
Road master Victor 'Maraist
has done fine piece of work on
the road leading from st. Martin
Vile to Pointe Claire, the work is

There are a few places that are

drainage is an absolute necessity
for this particular road which
overfows after each heavy rain.
If the proper drainage is made,

Carson, Nev, Jan. 19.-Increased Eit- terness has been injected into the sen atOrial contest by tho action of the state central committee of the silver party which this afternoon deposed from the chairmanship w. E. Sharon, who is managing Frank Newland's s fight for United States senator, and then read out of the silver party both Newlands and Sharon. The chief charge against both the deposed mem- bers was treachery to the platform adopted at Reno last fall.
 A resolution was then offered read Ing William M. Stewart out of the sill yer party, bvt it was voted down. sharon then left the committee room, followed by eleven members, and an nounced that he would form a new committee: Ehe republicans are elated over the committees action, believing that wfth the division of the silver forces they will exercise more in- fluencc in the contest.
