To be Tried In lafayette Parish
for the Shooting OF Mr.. q. p.
Gullbe0u ON the Excursion
Train Last November.

The case of the State W.. Carlton
Ogden and c. E. Colgin, which
was fixed for trial at Crowley last
Wednesday, has taken an unex.
pected turn. The case will not he
tried in Acadia. 1t will be tried in
Lafayette.
When court convened at Crowley
Wednesday morning the case If
Ogden ct al was called for trial,
but before proceeding further Judge
Debaillon stated that owing to the
absence of certain Witnesses and to
the temporary discharge Of some
jurors who were on duty the pre-
ceding night, it would be advisable
to adjourn until O'Clock in the
afternoon. Judge O. C.. Mouton.
who was there to assist District At
torney Campbell in the prosecution,
suggested that the court adjourn
until $500. Mr.. Pugh, of counsel
for the defence, acceded to the
suggestion and an adjousomept was
taken.
At the appointed time in the
afternoon the court met and the
case was called up. District At
torney Campbell then stated tina,
he would enter q no! pros in the
case. The judge ordered that the
mol pros be entered and the pris-
oners be released. This unexpected
action on the part of the State was
received by the counsel and sympa-
th'zers of the defence with mild de-
monstrations which the Judge
quickly suppressed. The evident
satisfaction of the friends of the
accused was short-hved, for imme-
dlately after the adjournment of
the court, Sheriff Broussard an
peared with warrants for the arrest
OF Ogden and Colgin charging them
with the commission of the crime
in Lafayette parish. This afforded
an explanation of the State attor-
ney's motion to the lawyers OF the
defendants, who had not yet under
stood the tactics of the prosecution.
Ogden and Coigin furnished
bond to appear before the court at
this place and they were released
from custody.
We are informed that the State
attorney is satisfied that Mr.. Gull
beau vas shot in Lafayette parish,
hence his action in the matter.
A large number of witnesses from
this parish who had gone to Crow.
ley to testify returned home Thurs
day morning.

A GOOD MEETING.
Held In the COurt-hOss0e-S0v
Hundred Democrats Listen to
the Speeches.

The meeting held at the court
house last Sunday was largely at
tended. Mr.. Overton Cade called
the meeting to order aud requested
Mr.. Edward G. VOORHEES, to pre-
side and Mr.. Chas. O. Mouton to
act as secretary.
The first speaker was Mr.. K p.
Leblanc, of Vermilion. Mr.. Le-
Blanc spoke in French. He dis
cussed the issues of the campaign
and paid a high tribute to the
Democratic nominee for Congress.
Mr.. Leblanc was followed BY
Congressman Broussard whose ap-
Peasance was greeted with a spon-
taneous ovation. Mr.. Broussard
spoke in French and English. His
speech was a complete refutation
Of the charge that the Democrats
are unfriendiy to the sugar industry.
His arrangement OF McKinley's i'm
Perialism was thorough.
Mr.. Broussard dwelt in a most
able and convincing manner upon
the paramount issue Of the cam
paign-imperiali He showed how
the president had ignored the plain
letter of the constitution in declar-
ing and conducting a war without
the authority of Congress. He
pointed out the danger of an i'm
Perialistic or colonial policy and
demonstrated how this government
could not long survive with half
republic and half monarchy and how
such an anomalous character would
soon destroy our free institutions
Already, said the speaker, have the
imperialists shown an utter disre-
gard for the constitution. The ap-
plause which greeted the utterances
of Mr.. Broussard's indicated how
thoroughly in accord the audience
was with the views expressed. The
palpable injustice of the Porto
Rican bill was clearly shown and
the hypocracy of the administra-
ton in its relations with the
islanders was exposed. Mr.. Brous-
sard's reply to the attacks of the
Republican spell-binders was caus-
tic. He explained to the ev,den.
of his hearers his efforts
in behalf of the industries of the
district. With facts and figures he
showed how impossible it would be
for Louisiana planters to success
fully compete with sugar from the
islands where the cost of produc-
ton is less and the yield greater
than here. He pictured the disas-
ter to the sugar industry that would
follow the annexation of these
islands. Mr.. Broussard was at his
best and he made a forcible. con-
vincing and eloquent speech. He
closed with a beautiful tribute to
the character of the leader of the
national Democracy.
The meeting was brought to an
end by a few appropriate words
from Chairman VOORHEES, who urged
all Democrats to put their shoulders
to the wheel to give the ticket a
rousing majority next month.

THE DRAMA.
NEW PLAY AT DALY'S THEATRE.
LADY HUNTwoRrHs EXPERIMENT.

LADY HUNTwORTHs EXPERIMENT.
1t seems to have been Mr.. Daniel Frohmans
experiment as well as Lady Huntworths and
happily it succeeded in the one case as thorough
ly in the other-for Mr.. Cartons play-whch
twists all the strands of farce. comedy. domes-
tic drama and carcature,-was followed with in
terested attention by a fine audience and was
auspciously received. Il is a nondescript fabric,
apparently intended as satire some phases OF
English character-more particularly that of the
conventional, stilted, emasculate cergy-and il
abounds with situations that wellnigh i'm
possible and incidents that are preposterous;
but it is strong in bits of character it is brightly
written. and its composite quality of good sense,
good feeling, and nirth commends it to cordial
favor. Lady Huntworth its heroine was a good
woman. unhappily married. She revolted against
a loathsome matrimonial alliance with drunken
blackguard and in order to escape from her misery
she allowed him 10 obtain divorce, which left
her under blight of undeserved disgrace. Then,
being poo-, she took service as cook in the fam
lily of a clergyman: That her experiment.
The play exhibits series of resultant occurrences.
The butler fell in love with her and proposed mar
riage. So did the clergyman. So, ultimately, did
Captain Dorraston, of the clergyman's friends
and guests. Her former husband, Lord Huntworth,
hearing that she had inherited money and
being himself ruined sought for her. in her refuge,
and tried to their welded association At
moments the piece becomes almost tragic; at most
times however, it ambes in sunshine and sparkles
with crisp dialogue and airy levity. Miss Hilda
Spong and Mr.. Mason put forth their powers of
stimulation with extraordinary skill, spirit and
effect The distinction and the piquancy that are
such prominent and charming attributes of Miss
Spongs acting made this mpersonation very
brilliant and winning Mr.. Mason gave perfectly
truthful embodiment of the honest, rough kindly,
blundering English soldier-the who has little
tact but who always does the right thing at
last. The character of Crayl. which promises well
at the start, dwindies to nothing at the climax.
Mr. Finney gave a crude suggestion of delirious
inebriety. Mr.. w. F. Owen warmly welcomed
and applauded as a poker-backed butler. There
were many curtain calls, and the play seems likely
to run through the holidays. w. w
