Burglary Cases.


Willie Brown and Willie Noise,
young negroes, were tried last Wed
nesday for breaking into the store
of Mr.. Felix Demanade. The prin-
cipal witness in the case was Perry
Jones, the negro who pleaded guilty
to the charge of burglarizing Mr..
Biossat's house. Brown was ac-
Quilted and NOISE was convicted
and sentenced to twelve years and
six months in the State penitentlary.
Brown was represented by Judge
O. G. Mouton.
The trial of the case of Henry
Hankins white, and Louis Destin,
colored, was begun Thursday morn
ing. Hankins was represented by
Mr.. Chargois and Col. Breaux,
Brown and Destin by Messrs. Jno.
L. Kennedy and Jerome Mouton.
When the jury was completed the
case was brought to an abrupt end
by an objection made by Mr.. Ken
nedy. advancing the plea of pre-
scription. Judge Debaillon sus-
tanned the objection and the case
was discontinued. In consequence
of this plea District Attorney
Campbell has Abandoned the prose-
cution in the four indictments
against Hankins and Destin. This
disposition of the case is quite a
legal victory for the young attor-
neys appointed by the court to
defend Destin.

worth of goods that were wet by
the Galveston storm. 1t consists

greater part is as good as ever.
These goods were bought at prices

manufacturing. Among other goods
thus far received are so pieces OF
choice tweeds for pants, worth from
a5c. to soc. per yard. all priced at
2oc. a yard. Several bales of cot
ton plaids, unbleached domestics,

FARMERS. INSTITUTE
Held In Falk's Hall-Able Papers
Read by Eminent Educators.

A farmers institute was held in
Falk's hall last Thursday under the
direction of Prof. w. c. Stubbs.
We regret to state that the attend-.
ance was small, there being only a
few farmers present. A most inter
esting and instructive program was
carried out and it is unfortunate
that more of the people of the par
ish we're not there TO enjoy il. 1t
is incomprehensiblet that the people
of this parish-a purely agricultural
country-do not see Fl. to take ad-
vantage of these institutes which are
calculated to do such great good.
Some one has suggested that IN or
der to get crowd at the next insti-
tute it might be advisable to adver-
tise a cock-fght or a mustang race
as side attraction.
Notwithstanding the small attend
ance the institute was held and it
was very much of a success. The
audience was not large, but it was
intelligent and appreciative and no
doubt the sound principles and
practical methods advanced by
Prof. S:ubbs and his able assistants
will be fruitful of good results.
The program was as follows:

You Can Easily Have a Home.
Renting has many disadvantages,
both practical and sentimental.
Landlords frequently will not make
needed repairs and tenants are
forced to go without, or make them
at their own expense. In a rented
house, yourself and family can
never enjoy that real home feeling
which invariably associates itself
with the home that is yours for life.
A good home is the highest am
bition of every citizen, and anyone
in Lafayette can obtain a good
home without feeling the cost, by
means of the Lafayette Building AS
sociation. This association loans
money on easy terms, payable in
small weekly or monthly install
ments that can never become a
hardship.
For further information on this
subject you NAV apply to the sec
retary, Mr.. D. Schwartz, or to the
treasurer, Mr.. S. R. Parkerson at
the First National Bank.
Every dollar you pay for rent is
gone forever. The same money if
| applied on a home secured through
the medium of the Lafayette Build
ing Association, would eventually
pay off the loan and the home be-
come your own, the full enjoyment
of which would be yours in the
later years of your life.
The Lafayette Building Associa-
ton is composed of our own peo-
| pie and the management is in safe
| lands. The association is prepared
to make loans on short notice and
on easy terms of payments. If in
terested you would do we'll to cal
on ID. Schwartz, the secretary; ol
S. r. Parkerson, the treasurer
either of whom will give you full in
formation regarding the working
of the association.

A CHURCH RUN BY WOMEN
Every once Held by Them Except That
of Pastor.

(From the Detroit Nsws-Tribune.)
The women Of the Methodist church
in Novi, Mich, have the hon5r Of know
ing that thsirs IL the only church on
record, 90 far as oan be sscertained, which
IL entirely run by WON en-. And In suoh
q little hamlet, bsrboring scarcely 200
souls, this fact forms q striking exam.
pie Of the progress Of the times. The
Now women did not take the church
affairs into their own hands entirely
from choice. They still retain their re-
sTect and admiration for the opposit'
sex, and tselr belief In the executive
ability Of men; bu Z. unfortunately, 1t Ia
asserted, the particular men connected
with the Methodist church of Novi lacked
the energy and push recessary to the
SUCCESS OF the Institution. and 50 1t came
to pass that when they failed to come to
time 18th the minister SALARY, and other
things necessary TO sustain the church,
the women stepped In and took the oes'
Into their own keeping.
The minister feeling his own slim
purse, and recognizing the executive
ability of the SISTERS, fell In line with
them and decided to make q complete
~ at the last quarterly conference he
recommended the following women:
Iruft.ss, Mrs. Sarah U. Taylor, Mrs
william vanlest, Mrs Ella Spencer.
MIS- Jennie Bloomer and Mrs. Lillian
Levenworth. MIS- Taylor was elected
chairman Of the board, Mrs. Vanfest
seorstary. MIRA. Spencer treasurer. Mrs
Taylor and Mis- Levenworth stewards.
Mrs Sarah j. Hulett was appointed
clnss leader. Miss Lulu Becker was ap.
pointed pre- s,dent OF the Ep~ ofth league
branch. From the Sunday school also.
the men were ousted and women sub
stituted. There ives 70 halfway eusi.
mesa about the woman movement In this
church. The change was weeping. and
a severe blow to tie men. And when the
appointment Of ths new board was an
nounced the whole community was
shocked.
The present. pastor, Rev. O. K. Marvin.
is a young man OF exceptional ability,
and thoroughly up-to-date, and Is very
NJ uoh plea I'D with the manner in which
the women are conducting things He
Is a rather dramatic orator. and since
his advent he bias been preachiz.. 20 full
houses, and getting his salary promptly.
He seems to tie pleased with ths novelty
Of an "all Indy" official family about him,
and when he gos to the conference next
year he will have report to reDde, that
will be convincing when the que stion OF
the eligibility Of woman in tho church
management shall come up for discus
sion. Perhaps action will DO taken to
extend the new idea--at least every
preacher who hears Brother Marvin's re-
port will fight for women rights In the
church. 1t may be distressing to the
reader to know that there are but five
male members Of the Novi Methodist
church now conducted by women.

ST. JOHNS GRAIN SHIPMENTS.
(MoI treal Stir.)

st. John. N. b. Is ttsadily increasing
Its grain shipments, and II the rate Of
progress maintained during the last five
years Is maintained. it will, before many
years, te:ome one OF the great grain
ports Of America. Already this winter,
during the month Of November, Decem-
Der and January, 2.479, 70S bushels Of
grain have been received at the Canadian
Pacific Railway elevators. and 1861, $40
bushels have been shipped. During the
same months last year 1880. 500 bushels
o; grain were received and 1,4s6 2i2
bushels shipped. ihe total quantity Of
Rrt in shipped from st. John last Sc ison
was ass sci, and It Is expected that
the shipments Will reach 1900 900 bushels
this season. Every year since the enter
prisiRg city of st. John completed the
harbor improvements on the west tide,
the gre in shipmsnts have steadily in
creased. The citizens Of St John never
made better Investment than when
they put money into hsrbor improvements
which ara likely to give the city real
right to tie title of the winter port of
Canada.
Montreale;s can sympatfise with st.
John, N. d., In It's competition with
Portland, Maine. for control of the
winter shipping business of Canada, as
Portland Is beginning to offer Sol ious
compt tltion to Mopreal In summer.
Anything that strengthens POI tand as
winter port will help 1t to compete With
Mont zeal for the summer trade, and any
thing that weakers Portland as winter
port will make Its competition less injuri
OF to Montreal In summer. The great
disadvantage Of Montreal Is that 1t Ia
closed during the winter months. Other
things b, ing equal, a port that ts open
all toe year around can offer better rates
than one that Is closed for a portion of
the year during whioh the capital Invest .
ed IN providing facilities for handling
business is lie and unproductivs. For
tunatsly Montreal has SO many advantage
es as a sum mer port over all other ports
of America that its winter disability Is
oil es.
Montreal has no reason to fear ST John 8
competition In sum mer as the railway
haul to that city is 4sl miles longer than
to Montreal, but the distance to Portland
IL only 297 miles, and In recent years q
considerable quantity of grain and other
Fl e ght has been carried past Montreal In
the summer months for shipment from
that port.
