CoLoRADo'S bank deposits have more than doubled in five years, in. creasing from $9.379,133 in lS94 to S20,05S,3T7 in 1899. The number of people who had bank accounts increas- ed in the same time from ls,532 up 10 30.047. This can be credited up to Me Kinley prosperity, and accounts in part for the fact that thousands of Coloaado men who left the Republican party in 1896 are returning to it..

The fact that the men who are charged with these crimes were, when selected. men whose integrity had never been called in question does not reduce in the slightest degree the vigor with which the investigation is being pushed or the plans laid for the punishment of every guilty man.

On Thursday forenoon the
locomotive of the passenger train
on the st. Martinville- Arnaudville
branch left the rails in the curve at
st. Johns plantation, and turned
over IN the ditch. The engineer,
Walter +. Ryan, of Algiers
attempted to jump. AS he struck
the ground the boiler tOppled over
upon his PROSTATE form, crushing
the life ont of him. The fireman,
Willis caves of this place, re.
manned at his post till the engine
came to rest. His left foot was
caught and badly crushed. His
clothing was set on fire. He
managed to extricate himself. He
was brought home IN special.
The express car also turned
over. No passengers were
hurt. The wrecker was promptly
ordered to the scene.
Engineer Ryan was a policy

Marie Street
Will be Opened in the Near
Future.

Marie street is one of the new
streets of Greater New Iberia. In
order to make extensive territory
on the east side of the bayou
available for EOme sites, Mr.. ) }
Marie was the first to act, making
"a donation of twenty feet OF land
running across his properties, be-
tween Duperier and Pollard
Avenues, to the city. This action
was followed by a display OF
equal liberality on the part OF Mr..
J. NJ. Pollard, carrying the street
one block further to Magnolia
Avenue, or the boundaries of the
Weeks Estate. Later it was
properly decided that a twenty
foot street was too narrow to meet
the requirements of so important a
street. The question was agltated
by all interested parties and re
solved itself into Mr.. William b.
Davis, representing the estate
Of William Weeks, taking the lead
| in presenting the following propo
sition to the City Council:
"The City Council to buy the re
naming thirty feet of the Marie
lot for price at which Mr.. Marie
was willing to sell, which repre-
scented about One.third OF its
market value. If the Council
would do this, the Pollard in
terests would broaden the street K
fifty feet through their trac'
and the Weeks Estate wOul(
carry the fifty feet through theil
lands to their southern
boundary
| Mr.. Marie and the Pollard
agents also appeared before tn
same Council session and ratified
the proposition by stating thei
willingness to Immediately carr!
out all the terms as stated. Thu
Pollard portion was at once
thrown out and the street there il
fifty feet wide. The Council, how
ever, very properly refused to pur
chase from Mr.. Marie till ,h'
entire street could be opened up
Then the matter dragged.
This week we are pleased t.
note that progress is being made
Mr.. Towles is having all the larg'
and small trees in the line of tn
fifty foot extension Of Marie
street cut down and cleared away
across the Weeks tract. Let tn
good work go OF.
