Balance in Favor of Sheriff
BrOuSSard.

The outgoing Police Jury held its
last meeting Thursday and trans
acted some business preparatory to
its final retirement from official life.
The Jury accepted the report of the
committee appointed to settle with,
and grant a quietus to the sheriff and
treasurer. The committee, which
was composed of Messrs. c. c.
Brown and r. c. Greig, reported
that it had examined the books and
accounts of the sheriff and treasurer.
The report stated that sheriff Brous-
sard had been granted a quietus for
the taxes of 1896, 1897 and 1898
and that the sum of Seo3 was due
him. AS to the licenses the COM
mittee reported that it had settled
with the sheriff for the years 1897,
1898 and 1899, and that a bal
ance of SI16.4o was due that
officer by the parish. The parish
is therefore indebted to Sheriff
Broussard in the sum of $500. 4o
money overpaid into the treasury.
The committee reported that the
books and accounts of Treasurer
Martin had been found correct and
quetus had been granted him.

TO AMEND THE CONSTR:
TUZZON

Under the present constitution
the chief justlceship of the State
Supreme Court goes to the member
who has served the longest on the
bench. This, it is conceded by all,
is eminently fair, but Mr.. Marks, of
Assumption, does not think SO and
he has introduced a bill in the
Legislature to amend that clause of
the constitution SO as to authorize
the governor to appoint the chief
justice. A majority of the judiciary
com mittee, of which Mr.. Marks is
chairman, has made a favorable re-
port on the bill. We are pleased to
state, however, that the minority
has taken a different view of the
question. The following is the text
of the minority report:
House Bill No. 1, by Mr.. Marks
They submit that there it no oc-
casion to amend the constitution of
the state in behalf of any one indi-
v,dual, howsoever patriotic and able
he might be. and to do SO is to est
ablished a precedent that will be
calculated to exalt individuals over
the fundamental law of the state.
They further submit that the arti-
Gle of the constitution sought to be
amended was therein placed but
recently, after mature and deliberate
consideration, and that no evils
whatsoever arising therefrom have
manifested themselves.
They further submit that it aims
at investing the chief executive of
the state with additional appointive
powers, whereas it is the part of
wisdom to limit such powers as
is commensurate with public safety.

"To Have and to Hold, by Mary
Johnson, has been pronounced to
be the most popular book of the
past month. Its wide success is a
proof that the tale of adventure
we'll told, has as strong a hold as
ever on the popular fancy. Aside
from its scenic charm the story de-
velopes strong dramatic interest,
and there are historic touches which
are calculated to fortify its hold on
those who find peculiar delight in
literature with the true colonial
flavor. AT the Moss Pharmacy.

LAYING OF THE CORNER STONE.
An Elaborate Program Arranged-Bishop Rouxel, Gov
Heard, Senator Foster Mr.. Martin An
nounced Speak
The Flower Parade to be Special Feature of the
Day-The Fire1nen Will Turn Out in Uniform.

The committee appointed by the
B. NJ. A. has been quite busy pre-
pairing a program for the 2Ist of
June, the day selected for the lay
ing of the cornerstone of the In
dustrial Institute.
The B. NJ. A. and the several
committees invite the CO operation
of every citizen of the town and
parish in their efforts to make this
celebration a memorable one in the
history of Lafayette.
In order that all will be able to
participate IN the parades and cere-
NOR les it is urgently requested that
all stores be closed promptly at
noon.
The members of the three fire
companies are to assemble at their
engine houses at O'Clock, after
which they will go to the court
house square where the companies
will prepare for parade to the de-
pot to receive Gov. Heard and
other disting uished visitors Should
it rain the corner stone will be laid
according to the program. but it
will be necessary to conclude the
exercises at Falk's opera house
People of the adjoining parishes
are most cordially invited to take
part in the celebration. The school
is properly named the Southwestern
Louisiana Industrial Institute and
the residents of all the parishes in
this section are equally interested.
Although Lafayette has given most
generously to- make the school a
success it will not be the only bene-
fciary.. 1t extends the glad hand
to iberia, St. Martin, Vermilion, ST.
Landry, Acadia and the other par
ishes and tenders to all a hearty in
vitation to come aud celebrate in
fitting style the day which marks
the dawn OF a new era in Southwest
Louisiana.
1t should be we'll understood that
everybody is invited to take part in
the exercises. 1t is to be popular
demonstration. If you have swell
outfit decorate it and join in the
parade; if you have only an ordi-
nary rig, fix it up with pretty flowers
and it will look just as well; if you
have no vehicle of any kind turn
out on foot; whatever you do, don't
stay at home, but come out and
help to make the crowd bigger.

A Dangerous Weapon.

Officer Jean Breaux accidentally
shot and wounded a portion of the
colored population last Sunday A
crowd of boisterous negroes were
making themselves obnoxious to- the
citizens of McCombs and while the
officer was arresting young negro
named Williams, his pistol fell to the
ground, the shock causing the ex-
plosion of one of the cartridges.
Strange to say the ball wounded
four negroes who were standing by.
Three were wounded IN their legs
and one in his hand. When the Of
fccr heard the shot, not knowing
that it had been fired from his own
pistol and believing that it was the
work of one of the negroes he
reached out for his weapon and was
surprised to find that it was not in
his pocket. He was told what hap
pened and shown his pistol which
had accidentally played such havoc.
Fortunately the negroes were only
slightly wounded. AS Mr.. Breaux
has no intention of depopulating the
town he is thinking seriously OF
sending SO dangerous a weapon
where its destructiveness will do the
most good and he has for that rea
son decided to ship it to the Beers
to be used in the cause of liberty.

LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANA, SATURDAY, JUNE g. 1900
BUSY WEEK
At the Catholic Church - First
Communion Received by
One hundred and
Fifty.Six Children.

The past week has been a busy
one at the Catholic church. Dur
ing the day the children of the first
communion class received instruc-
tons from Father Baulard who has
been most devoted in his intention
to prepare the little ones to receive
the sacrament of the Eucharist.
Thursday was first communion day.
AS usual upon such an occasion
the church was crowded. The
sacrament was administered to one
hundred. and ffty-six children.
The acts were recited by James
Breaux, Samuel Williams, Pauline
and Anna Mouton. and the renewal
of the baptismal VOWS was pro-
nounced by Felicie Broussard and
lanes Breaux. The mass was rem
dered more imposing and beautiful
by the singing of go Cor Amoris"
by the choir with Miss Marthe Mou-
ton as soloist. During communion
Miss Estelle Gerac and Pierre
Gerac sang "L'ange ct Lame"
with splendid effect.
Father DeStockalper. the highly
esteemed president of St. Charles
College, and Father Peters, of Jen-
nings, lent their valuable assista@ce
to the local clergy.
AS was announced in The Ga
zette last week Fathers O'Connor
and Leautier have been conducting
a mission for the spiritual welfare
of the people of this community.
These eloquent missionaries have
been attracting large crowds to the
church every evening. 1t is their
intention to remain here another
week.

THE NEW POLICE JURY
of Officers Postponed to
Next Thursday.

The newly elected members of the
Police Jury met at the courthouse
yesterday morning. There were
present: Messrs. NJ. Bllleaud, Jr.,
J. 0. Blanchet, F. G. Mouton,
Alonzo Lacy, Saul Broussard, Alex
M. Broussard, John Wilmington,
Aymar Liable.
Prof. Greig, secretary of the out
gong Jury, called the meeting to-
gether and stated that it was in
order to elect president. Mr..
Blanchet not noticing that Mr..
Mouton had the floor placed Mr..
Billeaud in nomination for presi-
dent. Mr.. Mouton claimed that he
was first on his feet aud wished to be
heard. Mr.. Blanchet readily assent
ed to Mr.. Mouton's request and the
latter was permitted to state his
motion. He said that he believed
it best to defer the election to a
future day, stating that by post
ponement more time would be given
to candidates for the Offices to be
filed by the Jury. Mr.. Billeaud re-
piled that he saw no reason why the
Jury would not proceed to the cleo
ton of offices, thereby avoiding the
necessity of another meeting. He
was in favor of acting at once upon
the election of officers.
Mr.. Mouton urged as a reason
for postponement the probable in
tention of the local banks to make
certain advantageous propositions
for the handling of the parish
money. He said that he had been
informed that the banks had made
similar propositions in the past.
The question was put to vote
and the motion to adjourn until
next Thursday was carried.
Before the meeting of the Jury
was called there was considerable
button h gliding and tete- a-tete con-
ferences among the Jurors and can
didates. Judge Hirsch, however,
seemed confident of success. He
occupied his. wonted place and
awaited serenely for developments.
AS The Gazette predicted some
weeks ago the judge has an armor-
plated cinch and nothing short Of a
soft-nosed projectile will make any
sort of an impression on it.

The Census Work.

Mr.. VIM. Clegg, and his assist
ants, Miss Lizzie Bailey and Mr..
Ralph Elliot, have been quite busy
doing census work at the super
visor's Office. Every enumerator
makes daily report to the office
and it requires. much work to keep
things in shipshape condition.
The work of census-taking has
been somewhat hindered by the
heavy rains. In some of the wards
the condition of the streams has in
tcrfered with the work of the emu
merators.
The work of taking the towns
census has been progressing nicely.
Owing to illness the enumerator,
Charles Debaillon, began couple
of days after the 1st, but he has
caught up with the work and he will
be done in due time.
1t is safe to say that the town will
have thoroughly reliable aud ac-
curate census.
