NOW FOR BUSINESS.

Now that the town election is
over and we have q new council
va. - 6h,a narge of tine affairs
of ,ne .own Ior tue next two years,
the people will expect OF them
more than they dia from those
who occupied the same positions
in the past, for the reason that we
are progressing, and to keep up
with the march of progress, it Is
necessary that we have a water
work plant to protect our proper
ty against fire, and that we have
an electric light in connection
thereto, which can easily be main
tanned by voting a small special
tax.
These public improvements are
absolutely necessary, there is not
one single smaller town in the
country surrounding US which is
not ahead of St. Martinville in the
matter of water works and electric
lights, and if our neighbors have
taxed themselves for these como
dities, and we might say necessi-
ties, it is because they thought the
investment a wise one, and we are
certain that our people will be
wise, and will vote for such a tax
when the matter is presented to
Them IL al IN el.igeut manner.
TIE hrs 54.Lg tbs new council
viii nave 10 10, will De TO lnvesn-
gate the matter thoroughly, get q
survey of the town, and than get a
proximate estimate Of the cost of
the plant put in operation, and
when they are in possession of all
these informations, they can SUBJ
init them to the people, and we
have every reason to believe that
the property owners will vote to
tax themselves for improvements
which are 30 much value to q
town.

Southwestern Industrial College

emulation between the parishes of

the board to make the selection
under the terms of Act. No. l62

The town election held Tuesday
was very hotly contested by the
Democratic and Independent tick
kets, and both factions got out
every vote they could lay their
hands on, and some few were sp-
parently bought.
During the day the vote was so
close that both factions claimed
the election, but yet, an observer
could easily see that the leaders
of both factions looked gloomy
and blue, which was the best indi.
cation that they were uncertain of
the result.
The count of the votes only re-
vealed the fact that the Democrats
had elected three members of the
Council, who are Henry P. Oil
vier, Edmond G. VOORHEES, and r.
j. Bienvenu, the Independent
elected two councilmen, J. E. Ber-
trand and 7. L. Broussard, and the
Mayor, Fl. P. Fournet.
The Democrats hold the control
of the town, having three council
men of the five.

ter due deliberation and a compa-
rison of the many inducements Of
fered. Lafayette was selected un-
der the following specific offers:
l. The donation of twenty-five
acres of land, beautifully situated,
the gift of private citizen, valu-
ed at $500.
2. A cash bonus subscribed by
the citizens of Lafayette of $1,000.
8. A cash bonus of the police
jury of the parish of Lafayette,
$1,000, and
4. An annual tax of two mills
on the dollar on the assessed va
luation of the property of the pa
rish of Lafayette for ten years.
In order to make the needed
amount in cash, available, the two
local banks, with commendable
public spirit, at once agreed to
advance $4,000 upon the two-mill
tax which had already been voted.
Idesire to call attention to the
fact that the movement to secure
this institution at Lafayette was
the spontaneous and almost unan-
imous action of the people of that
town and parish, led by number
of progressive and public-spirited
citizens, and it ise most heartful
and fattering indication of the
deep interest in behalf of the cause
lof education, that, while Lafay-
cite led and secured the college,
the offers of Iberia parish and the
town'of New Iberia were liberal
and generous and their efforts ac-
tive and earnest to secure for their
people the great benefits of this
institution of learning.
After considering the claims
and qualifications of a number of
educators it was unanimously de-
termined to place Prof. E. L. Ste
vens at the head of the institution,
and he was accordingly duly cleo
ted and accepted the trust. Prof.
Stevens is a native of Louisiana,
educated at the State University.
where he took high rank. He is
a gentleman of culture and sbili-
ty, eminently qualified to success
fully conduct the important affairs
of this institution. In accordance
with the views of the board, he is
organizing this college upon broad
lines, carefully working out the
details in connection Herewith,
and, by practical knowledge and
experience, aided by personal
inspection and examination of
other similar institutions through
out the country, l am of the opin-
ion that, at its opening, the COL
lege will be Offered and equip
ped in a manner that will fully
meet the expectations of its pro-
motors and merit the love and
gratitude Of our people.
1t will be necessary to provide
means for the maintenance of this
school and for its future equip
ment. I believe that its location
in this particular section of the
State will be productive of the
highest results, and / am pleased
to commend it to the favorable
consideration of your honorable
bodies and to enroll it among the
valued institutions of the State.

MOdeska Tonight.

Madame Modjeska, who is to make her

assisted by the most brilliant supporting
company she has had since her memoir
able association with Edwin Booth. The
Leading members are r. D. MacLean and
Odette Tyler, who were starred in ''Phro-
So by Charles Frohman last season. They
are well enough known both in classic ard
modern drama to make extended refer
ence unnecessary. Another prominent
member is Mr.. Barry tombstone, who first
distinguished himself with Lawrence Bar
rett, and who has been identified with all
the important legitimate productions since
that time. Mrs. Henry Vandenhof, who
plays the old woman's parts, is an actress
of old and varied experience. She has
served during the last forty years under
all the famous stars of the American and
English stage including Charles Kean.
Barry Sullivan, and Henry Irving. Mr.. j.
J. Ryan and Miss Kate Hassett are other
talented artists, the former was for sew
eral years with Booth, and the latter has
been under the management of Mr.. Chas.
Frohman for the past few years. With
these and other equally talented people
and a complete scenic equipment, which
is always assured with any of Messrs.
Wagenhals and Kempers ventures, the
event has an attraction possessed by few
if any of the seasons offerings.

THE EAST END YES
BRRAKEMEN.L LOST CONTROL
OF the Train, Which, Running Down
Grade, Crashed Through the Bump
ers and Completely Demolished a
Company HOuse-No Injuries Re-
suited.

Yesterday morning shortly after ten
o'clock B. & 0. water train ran off
near East Wheeling, creating great ex-
element and demolishing a house. The
house belonged to the West Virginia
Steel Company and was occupied by
VIM. Taylor, mill worker The train
was standing on a switch leading north
from the main track at the foot of
Eleventh street past the West Virginia
steel plant and terminated a hundred
feet north of the plant. Taylor's house
is at the end Of this switch. At the
end of the switch the track was pro-
tected by bumpers.
The men were in the act of filling
the tank cars with water when the ac-
cident happened. The brakemen had
finished filling one car, and as there
was no engine attached, opened the
brakes to allow the car to run the
legnth of one care so that they could
fill the next one. The brakemen tried
" obOP tuC u dlu WHICH IL udu gone plllS
distance, but they had lost control of
1t and with each additional foot it
gained momentum, and when it passed
the steel works it was going at an aw-
full speed. The brakemen did their
utmost to stop the train, but it sped
on faster and faster The train was
composed of four steel tanks and six
steel fiat cars and made a tremendous
noise.
1t struck the bumper and smashed it
into splinters, crossed the open ground
and crashed into the Taylor house
Three of these cars crashed through
the house, one coming out the other
side and threatening another house
next to it. The second and third car
raised up in the house, throwing it
from the foundation, while the next car
became imbedded in the mud. The
fifth car had one end of the tank
knocked off. The first four cars did
not have their bodies injured but the
trucks were badly twisted. The brake
men on the train jumped and were un-
injured. The house and furnishings
are almost total loss.
Mrs. Taylor had just stepped out of
the house when the accident occurred
and the two children were in school,
while Mr. Taylor was at his work in
the mill, and all escaped injury.

A Stranger in "a Strange Land.

"A Stranger in a Strange Land" is from

Wilmer. 1t is the story of a young Eng
lishman who being sent to America, In the
hopes that trip abroad might settle him,
returns home and launches into an ocean
of lying with view to deceiving his rela-
tives as to his conduct abroad. The au-
thors have seized upon this pretext to IL
lustrate the fashion of English people as
well as other foreigners, Of getting our
geography mixed up, often locating Oma-
ha just back of Harlem. The situations
are said to be very funny, the climaxes
