Left Lafayette Over Two Weeks
for This City.

Crowley Signal, July 80.
A. Amuny, Syrian, VINO co'.-
ducts a grocery store in Coontowm,
came to the Signal office this m rn-
ing to inquire If we had heard any
thing Of Syrian woman being
murdered or killed on the Southern
Pacific railroad between Mermentau
and Jennings obou, the 81 inst.
Amuny says that Syria"
women by the name of Annie
Nejore left Lafayette about two
weaks ag" headed for this place and
since that time she has not been heard
from. Amuny was in Lafayette at
the time she left, and as she was
bedding small trinkets for a living.
did not take the tram but decided
to walk. Amuny, who also has a
store in Lafayette, decided he
would come down to this city an
see how his business here was get
ting along. Upon arriving here
last week he made several inquiries
about Annie Nejore, but vas in
formed by all the Syrians here that
nothing had been seen Of her.
He was told by some one in
Coontown that a woman had been
killed on the railroad track about
the 81 inst, between Mermentau
and jennings, and that several
arrests had been made charging
different parties with the murder,
and that they had been taken to
Lake Charles and imprisoned.
He left for Lake Charles and upon
arriving there the authorizes in
formed him that they had heard
nothing of the matter and had made
no arrests on that charge.
Returning to Crowley Sunday,
Amuny is about ready t." give up
the search. He describes the wo-
man as being very short and thin
with black hair and looks to be
about thirty-fve years old. Any
information concerning her where
abouts will be thankfully received by
him.

A ROMANTIC MARRIAGES.


he beaumont correspondent,
Post:
Last evening a Mr.. Ambrose F
Yocum and Miss Mary Gonzales,
accompanied by brother and an
uncle, came to the residence Of G..
l.. Nash and asked ,o get lodgings
for the night. The par'v were ac-
c"mmoda,rd. During the -vening
III re wrrs many surmises aud con
lectures i"',nlged in by the b"arders
about the house as to the intent and
purpose OF The young people, there
being a lingering suspicion that
matters concerning Cupid were in
vJived. The matter was made
clear this morning. The young
people live in Mermentau parish,
Louisiana, and they have long
wished to get married, but a paternal
objection stood in their way, 50 they
decided TO take the matter in their
own hands and HE themselves away
to more favorable climates. Mer-
mentau parish is many miles from
here, and if the curious will! examine
a map they will find that away down
in the lower part of the parish the
Mermentau river lies between the
parish and this city. The young
people feared pursuit and decided
to come to Beaumont overland.
They walked from their home to
the river, a distance Of nine miles,
and there the lover put his fair one
log and he, with his com
Famous, swan across the river,
pulling the log by means of rope.
Across the river they secured horses
and rode to Sabine Pass. a distance
Of eighty miles At the Pass they
took the train and came to Beau
mont. This morning the young
man secured a marriage license and
the services of Judge Ward Who
performed the much desi1ed cere-
mony.

cular, which is signed by Passenger

also that commissions are not re-

furthermore suggests that prices

The fight wnicn has been going
on for several years between the
square bale and the round bale
methods Of marketing cotton is
having beneficial effect in the
handling Of the great money crop
OF tn. 5 nth. This fight can not
but help in the net results to the
producer and therein comes the
satisfaction of the farmer in watch
ing such a vigorous fight. The sys
tenn of packing and handing cotton
for the past fifty years or more has
certainly been most wasfeful and
slovenly and the producer has had
to bear the waste ami stealing from
the field to the spinner. The sys-
tenn, besides the losses incurred in
the sorry manner of preparing the
lint for market and getting it to the
consumer, has supported an army
of middle men, every one Of whom
picked a mite out of every pound
that left the farm. The round bale,
whether or not it is the best and
most economical method Of prepar-
ing the lint for market, IS gong to
effect a great improvement and
saving in the handling Of cotton in
the future.
The advocates of the square bale
system arc bestirring themselves to
m, ct this competition and are
struggling to bring about great i'm
pr"vements in the system. BY i'm
proved and uniform methods they
not only propose to make heater,
better and more marketable bales,
but reduce the net expenses all the
way from the field to the mill. No
other industry in the world could
have SO long stood the ragged, care
less and dirty methods of handling
the product, or could have survived
the hundreds of pillagings and pc
culations it has had to pass through
for SO many years.
On general principles, controve,-
sizes and fights are to be condemned,
but commercial and industrial fights
like this which rebounds to the
benefit of the toilers in the field and
producers of the basic commodities
are to be commended and encour-
aged
So long as the fight goes on it is
sure to help the producer, the man
7>who most needs help. Whether l,
is the round bale or square bale. I,
must in future be the best of itt
type, and the manufacturers 81
baling machinery must of necessity
array themselves on the side of the
farmer to protect him from the nu
merous pillagings his crop has sc
long been subject to.
~ Let the fight go on; it is a gooe
thing for the cotton grower.

night for shorter hours. General Freight
Agent R. S. Franklin, in charge of the
station. when asked about the situation
stated that he had no trouble with the
freight handlers. He referred to the fact
that the work of handling the freight in
the warehouse was going on uninterrupt-
eddy. One OF the men who quit work
stated, however. that many OF the han
dlers engaged in moving freight were
green hands. However this may be, Mr..
Franklin did not seem to be worried about
the situation.
The men who quit work last night about
I p. m. were in the neighborhood of the
station. One Of them stated that the
trouble which resulted in their stopping
work commenced on Wednesday night,
when they refused after II p. N. to unload
some cars which were sidetracked. The
men. it was stated, had been at work since
$3.50 a. III. on Wednesday and informed
Mr.. Franklin that they were not willing
to load the cars which had to go out that
night. AS result it was stated that
three Of the gang We're discharged yes

1t was also stated that the men had

about p. m. and that he informed them
that they might all so to work again if
they desired. This. 1t is said, they refused
to do unless the three men who were dis

HOT ON ALvoRD's TRAIL.

NEW YORK. Oct. 25.-The police ar,
now hot after Cornelius L. Alvord jr., til,

First National Bank. This afternoon Cap
tain McClusky. head of the detective bu.
reau, spent more than an hour at the Firs;
National Bank in consultation with Vice
Presidents Hine and Fischer and +. Baker
OF Peabody. Baker & Peabody, the banks
counsel. After the conference McClsky
said the case was now officially before the
police and that they were going ahead
with it, Federal warrant having been is
sued at the instance of the banks officers
today.
The captain said that the officers of the
bank had sent for him. Asked whether he
had expectations of taking Alvord within
twenty-four hours, Captain McClusky re-
Piled that he could not say. Late this
afternoon New York detectives arrived at
Hudson. y. Y, and left by carriage for
Stockport, accompanied by Officer Slater
OF the Hudson force. Alvord. it is sur
missed. may be arrested there at the resi-
dence OF his brother. 1t is thought his
wife is at Stockport. The officer had not
returned to Hudson at 10 o'clock tonight.
Stockport is about six miles from Hudson.
Alvord formerly lived in Stockport. and
is well known in that place and Hudson.
There is very widespread conviction
that he is not beyond ready communica-
ton with his counsel or will be found not
to be beyond it in the event of satisfac-
tory propositions from the bank looking
to discussion of possible means to the
recovery of such Of the $500, G0O as may be
available
The bank says that it has no knowledge
Of Aj-ord's whereabouts, and Lawyer Mil
Ter declines to acknowledge or deny that
he knows where his client is, but the be-
lief persists In Wall Street that Alvord
has not taken himself out of reach. al
though he is in hiding
1t has been asserted and denial has been
that advances have been made
on behalf Of Alvord himself looking to a
a restitution of some part OF his steal:ngs
from the bank, but the only people in
position to speak as to the truth or falsity
Of this story, the bank officers and AL
words counsel, refuse to say one thing or
the other. No one supposes that the bank
could or would allow the case to 90 with
out any prosecution whatever, but merely
that instead of pushing Alvord. when he is
found as hard as it were possible to do
he bank might undertake to be as lenient
with him as the case would allow.
