Two alarms of fire within twelve
hours was the record for Thursday
last, the first happening at about
1:45 a m. and was caused by the
very natural error Of a bright red
reflection from the flames of the
blasting furnace of Simon's toun-
dry on the low flying grey clouds.
The second alarm was about 11:3O
a. IN. this time being genuine. The
fire was on the roof of the small
frame building in the rear of Mr..
Satterfield's property on Main and
French streets. The der artment
promptly, but the fire was fortu
nately extinguished without the
necessity Of using the engines.

The council of the town of JEAN
erette has granted the right OF
way down it's main street for the
electric railway. Franklin papers
favor doing so, and we believe, the
concensus Of opinion is favorable
to it in New Iberia and in the c0un-
try all along the line. We hope
to see this road built within a year
or two.

again we will have, while carrying
passengers all the time, made III
our freight train for the nexl
place"
In explaining the system to be
employed on the electric line, Gen.
Myles said that power houses
would be located at each end of
the line, and more than likely one
in the centre. "These power
houses" remarked he. twill be To-
Gated at large sawmills. With
additional engine power we can
run our dynamOs, and by using
the mills we will be enabled to
greatly economize in the use of
fuel. We will use sawdust in the
eugines for making steam to a
great extent
Gen. Myles says that cars oper-
ated on country electric lines are
similar to those used in the city,
with the exception that they are
somewhat larger and the motor
cars which supplies the motive
power to the trailers are fitted
with four motors instead of two.
"You have a good picture of a
country electric train:in the West
End train. We, of course, will
operate coaches fitted with all re-
ouisites not required on short
lines. There will be a smoking,
baggage, first and second class
coaches, and possibly a mail car.
The coaches will be fitted with
laboratories and wash stands, as
we'll as water coolers and other
appurtenances found on a regular
passenger train"
Gen. Myles thinks that the road
will be given ample support by
shippers, for, as he explained, "the
people realize that then they will
be afforded an electric car service
equal in every respect to those en-
joyed by residents in the cities,
and besides will have freight
service every few hours in the day
instead of having to haul their
goods to the railroads and having
to wait several hours to have them
taken to the markets by the rail
road freight trains.
1--WE will, however, not come
as an opposition road to the South
ern Pacific Company, who paral-
lei us for some distance, for they
will, Of course, retain all the heavy
shipping, and we will merely fa-
cilitate them in getting it from the
small towns and farms along the
way. To show you how much the
people appreciate our efforts to
build the road they have in nearly
all instances given us the right of
way"
Gen. Myles says that country
electric roads have proven a great
success in the North and that he
thinks they will SO prove here.

The trial of Arthur Hebert fol
the shooting Of his brother -in-law

On Thursday afternoon negro
named I. Frank was convicted for
robbery.
The Grand Jury in their report
of the 18th, which was only read
this week, found five ''NO true

give below4the conclusion of their
finding:
To the Hon. Z. d. Foster, Judge

Iberia Parish, Greeting.
We, your Grand Jurors impan-
elled and sworn to enquire in and
for the body Of the Parish of
Iberia, beg leave to make the fol-
lowing report:
Carrying concealed weapons etc.
We have inquired diligently and
carefully into and touching every
special charge referred to us by
you and we have preferred charges
against number of violators of
law.
We have been unable to locate
any gamblers Of dice IN the parish,
though we have caused every Of
fetal in the parish to appear be-
fore us. We find that there are
number of houses in the city OF
New Iberia and the town of Jean
erette that are carrying on places
where numbers of idle negroes and
white men are allowed to cOngre-
gate to the discomfort of the peo-
pie, but we have failed to discover
sufficient evidence to bring them
under the lashes of the law. We
would respectfully suggest that
the mayors of these two places in
struct their Public Officers to use
all due diligence to break up such
congregations Of idlers and loafers,
ana legal ordinances should be en-
acted to suppress such nuisances
on our public streets and thorough
fares.
With the exception Of few in-
stances, crime has, we are glad to
state. diminished to a great extent
in our midst.
COURT HOUSE AND JAIL.
We found that much needed al
terations should be at once given
| to the Court House. In some places
the plastering is giving away and
falling; the roof also needs to be
changed. We also recommend
that large heater be placed IL
the Court House as the CRATES nov
there are inadequate to heat thu

The Jail we find in good cOndi
tion excepting that the inmates
are given little or no beddin!
to sleep upon. Humanity de

FED BY POSTAGE STAMPS.
Origin Of Curious Popular Delu.
sion in Europe Concerning
Old Stamps.

Most people entertain the curious de-
fusion that million old postage stamps
will get an orphan into some charitable
home. How the idea originated no one
knows. but there is no truth in it, It is
quite true, however, that the orphan
home at LIE Locle, Switzerland, is part
ly maintained by old postage stamps.
The reader may ask: How is this
done? In this way: This orphanage,
being in the center of Europe, receives
old postage stamps from all the coun-
tries of Europe and other parts of the
world. In this institution are Sc or
phan girls, and these old postage
stamps are judiciously mixed by them
and placed into parcels for sale to
stamp collectors. In this way the or
phanage makes about 6 100 a year,
which goes to the support of the poor
children.
Every year three London publications
make collection Of old postage stamps
for this charity, and this year the pa
pers are offering over $500 in prizes
for the biggest collections Of old
stamps. The stamps may be either Eng.
ish or foreign.

EASY WAY TO TRAP UNWARY.
Loud Talk. Presumably Indiscreet,
May Have Been Carefully De-
signed for Purpose.

There were three men in compart.
ment of a Pullman car. Two were talk
ing earnestly together; the third sat
at little distance and seemed to be
almost a stranger to the other two.
The two men were talking about a
scheme by which the investment of
anywhere from 800 to 81 900 wouldinet
100 per cent. inside of three months.
One man was little skeptical, but
finally gave way under the shower OF
facts and figures, says the Chicago
Tribune.
Then the convincing one got off at
his station, with parting injunction
to Look it over"
Seems all straight enough" said
the convinced man, musingly. do you

man.

there was silence that you could cut

TAKE CATS FOR PASSENGERS.
Charleston Is. CO Trolley Cars Garry
Undesired FeIineS Off to Seek
New Homes.

It is pretty well known that the life
of street car conductor is notone con-
tinuous round of pleasure. Some of
their trials are enough to make a stole
cast philosophy to the dogs and rise
up and Stay innocent women and chill
dren. The public imposes upon them
with the cheerful conviction that the
conductors cannot help themselves,
and if a request is not granted a COM
plant of some kind or other is prompt
ly lodged at headquarters.
All this is said apropos of an orig
inal demand that was made upon the
chief executive officer of the Jerk
Water special that does its peram bu-
lations in and about the kopjes that lie
between Broad street and the Ba ttery,
says the Charleston Is. c. News
Courier. That courteous official was
recently given cat in a bag. A five
cent fare was paid for the animal and
a transfer to the belt line was demand
ed. The financial part of the tranac-
ton having been satisfactorily adjust
ed the conductor of the Church street
line was requested to instruct his Belt
line confrere to turn the cat out at any
old place up town. The idea seems to
be a good one and hereafter downtown
housewives will know how to get rid of
their livestock of cats quickly and for
all time.

WORK OF A JEALOUS DOCTOR.
The In human Way in Which a PrOmi.
nent Philadelphia Man Was
Made Blind.

Henry Askin, once wealthy and
prominent man in Philadelphia, but
now totally blind and an inmate of
the Masonic home, tells remarkable
story of the fearful result of one ply
sician's jealousy of another, says the
New York Mail and Express. Mr. AS
kin declines to give the name of the
doctor in question.
He says that in 1875 his eyes began
to trouble him, and the efforts of his
physician, who was also his friend at
that time, seemed to be unavailing.
Growing alarmed, Mr.. Askin called in
another doctor, whose treatment was
effective. The first physician contin-
ued to visit him, but did not prescribe
for him. Suddenly Mr.. Askin's eye
sight began to fail, and the second
physician was powerless to help him,
being finally compelled to admit that
his patient was incurably blind
Thirteen years after Mr. Askin lost
his sight the doctor who first attend
ed him died. On his deathbed he con-
fessed that, being jealous Of the Sec
ond physicians success with the case,
he had drugged Mr.. Askin's medicine
and produced blindness, from which
the victim never recovered.

PUGILISTIC TURTLES.
The Reptiles in China Are Trained
and Tortured to Make Fight
erS of Them.

Cock fighting is said to be the nat
ural sport Of the Filipinos; but to see
animal fighting reduced to a science
go to China. There are hundreds OF
young men in the larger cities
there who make living ny training
animals to fight and in exhibiting
their savage qualities to interested au-
diences, says the Detroit Free Press.
Turtles make some of the pest fight
ers. They are fed on raw meat and
some sort of a drug, and at the end
of six months they become savage
enough to fight tiger. The jaws and
teeth are filed and sand-papered un-
til the mouth becomes a dangerous
thing to go near. The turtle is tan
talized each day with a piece of wood
or bunch of cotton until it's temper
reaches white heat.
When confronted with another tur-
tie that has been trained and badgered
in the same way they go for each
other with distended jaws, and there
is sure to be a fight to a finish.
The two turtles are placed in a small
ring, and only one comes out alive.
The fight lasts from one to ten hours
and death generally comes only when
one of them has gripped the throat
of his antagonist.

COULD NOT KEEP THEM OUT.
How Three PertinaciOus Cinnamon
Managed to Gain Entrance
to the TransvaaI.

During the time when the alien ex-
pulsion law was in force in the Trans
vaal three Cinnamon arrived at the lit
tie border town of Volksrust. The
Transvaal authorities had not had
much experience with Cinnamon up to
this, but they were not taken with the
appearance of the newcomers and
promptly put them back over the Natal
border says the London News. For
the next three weeks the police at diff
ferent points of the line were engaged
in returning the Cinnamon to the col
ony. They were dragged out of freight
cars. securely slowed away under the
tarpaulin covers; were rooted out of
transport wagons journeying along
the main road; were picked out of
gangs of Kaffirs, with their faces dark
ened so as to resemble their compan-
ions. travelling in cattle trucks. The
Cinnamon retained all their normal
cheerfulness. After time the China
and they passed out Of the MINDS of
the officials. But later on three strange
Cinnamon were unearthed in Jepper-
town doing a fourishing business
among the Kaffirs, but the alien law
was just then being quashed and they
were allowed to abide where they were.
