Mr.. H. NJ. burke was the victim
of very strange accident. The
other day while Mr.. burke was
seated before fire with some
friends, a cartridge was discharged
from the Fireplace, the ball striking
against his frontal bone and it was
thought to have penetrated his head.
Physicians we're called and after
probing for the ball decided that it
would be inadvlsable to extract it.
Mr.. burke came to Lafayette the
next day and CO nsulted Drs. ]. d.
and A. r. Trahan who concluded
that it would b.: best to take the
ball out. Mr.. burke was placed
under the influence of Chloroform
and the doctors operated upon his
forehead, but failed to find the ball.
A thorough investigation convinced
them that the bal! did not enter the
bead but bounced out; hence their
inability to locate it. At this writ
ing Mr.. burke is doing we'll and his
many friends will be pleased to
learn Of the happy termination of
this affair which it was feared would
have caused some trouble.

vote THIS TICKET.

TOZE THIS TICKET
Next Saturday the Democrats of
Lafayette parish will be called upon
to choose their nominees for Judi
cial, parish and ward Offices
There will be two tickets in the
field for Judicial and parish Offices.
We think the regular ticket, on
which will be printed the names Of
Debaillon for Judge, Campbell for
district attorney, Cade and Durio
for representatives, Broussard for
sheriff, VOORHEES, tor clerk and Mou-
ton for coroner, is entitled to the
support of the voters.
Judge Debaillon's eminent fitness
for the bench needs not to be dwelt
upon by US. 1t is well-known by
all, not only here but throughout
the State. There is no doubt Of
his nomination, but Lafayette
should give him large majority.
Mr.. Campbell was born and
reared in this town. He has served
the people before and his great pop
ularity is the best proof that he had
done his duty well. He too, should
get a big vote, not because he
needs it to be elected, but because
he is entitled to it. Mr.. Campbell's
experience and we'll known integrity
are a guaranty that he will make a
successful and fearless prosecutor.
Mess-s. Overton Cade and Homer
Durio are the candidates for re
representatives.. Mr.. Cade has held
record has never been assailed. He
is a practical man, we'll informed in
legislative matters, and is in every
way qualified for the Office to which
he aspires. MIR. Durio will m axe
very valuable colleague Of Mr..
Cade. He is a successful merchant
of the sixth ward. He is held in
the highest regard by those who
have dealt with him and who know
him we'll. He is a man of unim-
peached honesty and the interests
of his constituents will be safe in
his keeping. With Cade and Du-
rio the parish will be we'll repre-
sented at Baton Rouge.
The name Of Mr.. Edward C.
VOORHEES, will be presented for clerk
of court. No higher compliment
can be paid to Mr.. VOORHEES, than
to say that he is an efficient, &C
commodating and painstaking Of
fetal. Under his administration
the clerks office has been admir-
ably conducted. The bar will ties
tify to this fact. During the four
years that he has been in office Mr..
VOORHEES, has done his duty with
unremi,ting attention. The people
of this parish know and appreciate
a good officer and they will doubt
less say so by giving Mr.. VOORHEES, a
majority Of which he will be justly
proud.
And what about Ike Broussard2
His record as a criminal sheriff and
tax collector is second to none in
the State. His reelection next
Saturday will be complete and
absolute refutation .of. the dispar-
aging reports circulated by mud

PAINTER FALLS 25 FEET.
Accident to Robert Keenan, at First Pres
byterian Church--A scaifold Broke.

bytertan CnurCh--A scnHOlu brbke-
Robert Keenan,, of tho firm Of James
Keenan, & Bro, painters, fell from a
scafIold at First Presbyterian Church
Saturday, distance of 25 feet, and
was severely injured in the back. He
had narrow escape from being i'm
paled on the iron rickets of the church
fence. Keenan, and another painter,
named Robert Mekensie, we're at work
on scaffold on the front of the lower
tower Of First Church. They had
painted portion Of the tower near the
window in what would be the second
story, when the dinner hour arrived.
Then they prepared to descend. Their
scaffold was about 10 feet long by one
foot wide and WAS hung by a rope at
each end and connected with block
and fall and supported from the roof.
The method Of descending was to
loosen certain ropes and then lower
themselves down on the scaffold.
Mr.. Keenan, had loosened his rope
when the plank broke, and both men
lost their footing. Mr.. McKensie had
hold of rope that was caught at the
roof and he descended to the ground in
safety, but Mr.. Keenan, caught the
loose rope and fell to = pavement be-
tween the tower and the fence where
there is a space about five feet wide.
He struck on his back and his heels.
He was taken into the Sunday school
room of the church, where he told how
the accident happened, although evi'
IDENTIFY in pain. He was attended there
by DR.. ]. J. Jones and afterwards re-
moved to his residence, No. 1915 West

LYNCHING OF ITALIANS.
The Atrocity Promises to Assume an Inter-
national aspect.

national aspect.
Washington, July 22.-The lynchiug
of FIVE Italians in Louisiana yesterday,
nromises to assume an international
aspect, through tho action of the Ital-
ian government.
Count Vinchi, the Italian charge
d'affaires, called at the State Depart
ment this morning, and made repre-
sentations to the officials concerning
the atrocity in Louisiana.
To get full information. as basis for
action by this government, Secretary
Hay telegraphed the governor of Louis
lana, requesting all the facts in the
case.
Count Vinchi's action was predicated
on reports from the italian consular
officials in Louisiana, and by the press
reports.
There is reason to believe also that
the Italian Foreign Office is already
fully informed on the occurrence. 1t
is probable, however, that the repre-
sentations of today are only prelimi-
nary, with view to calling attention
TO the facts reported, and to pave the
way for any protest or demand OF
reparation which may follow. The
affair is considered in official quarters
as much like that in the Malta cases
at New Orleans, while Mr.. Blaine was
Secretary of State, at which time the
Italian minister, Baron Faya, called
for his passports, and left the country.
Baron Fava is now in Rome, on va
cation, and, during his absence,
Count Vinchi has charge Of italian
affairs in this country.

bartender, was shot and almost in
stantly killed, at an early hour this
morning, by w. L. Cole, at Mrs.
Wolfe's home, No. 312o College Grove

at the Wolfe residence, and asked to
see Jessie Gordon, who lives in the
Wolfe house. Mrs Wolfe denied him
admission, and dispute began. Wolfe
pushed Cole out of the doorway, and
stepped back into the hall; and Cole,
it is alleged, drew revolver, and fired
shot, which went through the door
and struck Mrs. Wolfe in the groin,
she dying 40 minutes later, while on
the way to a hospital.
Cole was captured by the police,
after an exciting chase, in which the
