GUILTY !

Armand Angel guilty without
capital punishment. Numa Angel
guilty of manslaughter.
The above is the verdict of the
jury in the trial of Armand and
Numa Angel, for the murder of
Fred Ramagosa.
The verdict is exactly what the
people expected after having heard
the evidence given before the
court.
The murder in so far as Armand
Angel is concerned was clear
case, but some are in the doubt as
to the implication of Numa Angel;
but the jury who heard the evil
dence, came to the conclusion that
he was guilty.
Armand will 60 to the peniten-
tiary for his life, and Numa for a
term not more than twenty years;
the Judge fixes the term of his
punishment.
Armand Angel had killed man
before, was tried and acquitted,
Numa Angel also had killed
young boy, was tried and acquit-
ted. Both men were considered
bad and dangerous characters, and
almost all the people who came to
the trial from their section, had
no sympathy for them.

Final Report of the Grand
Jury.

To the Honorable the Judge OF
the 10Th Judicial District court
of the State of Louisiana in and
for the parish of st. Martin.
We, the Grand Jury, impaneled
by this Honorable Court, beg to
submit this our final report of our
findings and recommendations:
We have been i'm session four
days since the opening of this
present term of court and have
considered and passed over every
case that been brought to our no
tice and attention. We are happy
to say that these cases were few in
number which speaks we'll for our
community and shows a healthy
growth in the morals of our peo-
pie and a respect for the laws of
the land. We trust that this
healthy state of things will con-
tinue and our people learn that
the laws must be respected.
JUSTICE OF THE PEACE.
These officers have been perfor-
ming their respective duties i'm
partially and according to law in
criminal matters and no fault can
be found with them in the manner
they carry on their functions of
office. We are pleased to say that
these officers can compare with
any like officers in the State and
if anything their superior as Off
GERS and in fulfilling their respec-
tive trust.
CONCEALED WEAPONS.
The pernicious and detestable
habit of carrying concealed wea-
pons must be stopped, and the on
ly way to do so, is for the court
when the offenders of this law are
brought before it, to give them
the full penalty of the law. This
will send terror into their hearts,
especially when they know that
the court will deal with them Sc
verely for their wrong doings in
carrying uselessly a weapon con-
cealed on their person. If the
pistols were left home by those,
who carry them many crime
would be avoided and many fam
lily saved the hearing of one of
their loved ones being killed or
doing the killing. We ask that
the officers of this parish arrest
all violators of this law.
ROADS.
We are pleased to report the
general good condition of our pub

'er been better and can now be

FOOD IN LIQUID
Makes a Full Meal for a Book
keeper.

/ am bookkeeper in large grocery store,
and consequently meet a great many people.
We find large numbers of customers who are
troubled with the effects Of coffee. l know
only too well how to sympathize with them,
for l have suffered so much from stomach
trouble caused by the use of coffee.
About two years ago one of your represen-
tatives gave me a sample of Postum, and I
was glad of the opportunity to try something
that would furnish me with a good morning
beverage, but not give me the trouble that
coffee did.
The reason some people fail to make good
Postum is that they undertake to get the good
out OF the cereals by few minutes boiling,
whereas not less than twenty-five minutes
should be used in making a good pot full of
Postum. When it Is properly boiled, it is a
most delicious coffee, and a perfect drink in
every respect. Often when have had no
appetite for solid food, could partake of
several cups of Postum, and feel plentifully
nourshed until the next meal. have been
glad to tell customers of the comfort and relief
they could find in the use of Postum. Natu-
rally We have augmented our sales gre atty on it,
until now we send out hundreds of packages
in year. One of our customers to whom
recommended it, has just been in, and tells
me they have all grown very fond of Postum,
including several members of the family who
reside in different parts of the State. With
best wishes, F. Lstimer, 1874 Market St.

backed from a siding to the main track.

least degree worried when the coupling broke
and tho two. cars slowly rumbled down the
slight grade. HE did not think for moment
that the cars could get beyond control and
supposed that he could easily hold them with
the hand brake. He nut all his strength TO the
wheel. but the cara kept gaining momentu
Hull ran and set all four brakes. but could not
check the speed OF tho heavily loaded cars.
The runaways swept through Watching and
Montclatr and down tho grade through Chest
nut Hill and Bloom field. where the grade in
creased toward Forest Hill and Newark. Hull
was shouting frantic warnings TO station
agents and operators. and the keys were click
ing In every station.

had crossed the high bridge over the Passaic
and entered rock cut west OF Arin gton sta

he saw the runaways fash past he exclaimed.

Down tho road over the meadows he saw the
? o'clock New York train swinging around a
curve to meet the runaways which were then
passing under street bridge and going out
upon the high embank ment on the meadows
The train consisted OF q combination bag
gage and smoking-car and two ordi-
nary coaches. When the stone car hit
the passenger engine the crash could be heard
for miles. G. A. Cadmus. Of Arlington, was
standing on the overhead bridge and was
perhaps the only person who saw the collision
near ut hand, for Brakeman Hull did not wait
to SEQ it. He jumped. and escaped injury
Engineer A. j. Curry reversed his engine and
jumped William Osborne. his fireman, went
on tho other side. Both were considerably
hurt. Curry landed In the meadows ut the
foot Of q 45-foot slope.
Mr. Cadmus said: Il saw the train and the
runaway cars and stood spellbound until the
crash came. The carload OF stone seemed to
melt under the engine. and tho air was full Of

L have your letter OF yesterdays date ad-

pany which letter had previously appeared
In the public press. In reply would say
that there are no judgments OF any kind
outstanding against the Brooklyn Rapid

Company. which is the operating com pany. on
June 30. 1892. were $50. 7e1 49, which was

on the corresponding date OF the previous year.
Appeals are pending from all OF those judg-

pany has been to appeal only those cases
where success seems probable the expectation
is that most Of these judgments will be re-
