The Death Record.

AhS DSotn hSSUlAs
Mr.. G. Lloyd Brotherton, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Lee G. Brotherton, died last
Friday in Pittsburg, Pa, aged "a years,
months and 5 days. His death was
sad one, passing away, as he did,
so far from home, though this was
purely from consideration for his fam
lily. He had been sick for several
weeks with walking typhoid fever,
and though urged to come home de-
clined to do SO, saying that he pre-
ferred to save his mother the care of
nursing him. He kept up as long as
he could, and when no longer able to
stay out of bed went to the Homoe-
pathic Hospital in Pittsburg. He
wrote home from time to time, and
his parents had no idea he was dam
gerously i'll until day or two before
his death. While he was in the hos
pital appendicitis set in, and an oper-
alton became necessary. This was
performed on Thursday, but in his
weakened condition he was unable to
rally from it, and died Friday after
noon. Notice OF his death was sent
here by telegraph, but before this his
father had started for Pittsburg, ac-
companied by his other son, Mr. W.
L. Brotherton, of Washington. They
returned here with the body Sunday
morning, and Sunday afternoon the
funeral was held in the Southern
Methodist church, the service being
conducted by his pastor, Rev J. C.
Thrasher, assisted by Rev. DR.. Charles
Gheislin. The remains were buried
in Elmwood Cemetery. The service
was attended by large congregation.
The deceased was a young man of
high moral character and exemplary
habits, consistent member of the NJ.
E. Church South, and his taking of
in the prime Of young manhood is
greatly 20 be regretted. He learned
the timers trade in this place with
H. G. Marten, but for a number Of
years has been working III Pitts
burg aud vicinity. For some time
past he had been employed in Home
stead.
Among the relatives and friends
from other places who attended the
funeral were the following; Mr.,
Charles Brotherton and Mrs. Ida
Ginneman, Of Cumberland; Mrs. R.
a. Kearfott, Martinsburg; Mr.. and
Mrs G 7. Hutton and children,

The Progressive League.

What can he the matter with the
Progressive Leagne
The project of establishing a moss
gin has been considered Aid discussed
in a most satisfactory manner by
our business men for some time past,
but the movement never seems to
have taken any definite shape, and
We believe there is lack OF encourage.
ment somewhere.
The benefits which Thibodaux
would derive from the location here
of 8 large, first.cIass moss gin, are
too manifest to require enumeration.
The prime need OF this community is
man ,facturing and industrial con-
Germs that will give profitable employ
ment to the people and thus increase
the circulation of money aud stimu-
late all branches Of business. FOl
this reason, If for no other, every
resident, and in particular our bust
ness men. ought to aid and encourage
this project. The league proposes to
hold a meeting on or about Wednes
day OF next week, and sll partie.
concerned will be notified. ssto where
and when it will be held, there j.
considerable data to bs brought be-
fore this meeting, and We hope al
those interested 10 the moss giu vii
be present.
Now, gentlemen, don't fail.

Prosper Toups.

The hand of the Angel OF Death
was laid heavily upon our parish dur
ing the past week, aud has taken fIom
their earthly Iabors three of its most
useful citizens. The las, to answer the
dread summons being Mr.. Prosper
Toups who died at his home on the
Ariel plantation at go o'clock We'd
ne-day evening agel 55 years 10
months and 22 days. Mr.. Toups had
been i'll but a short time preceding
his demise, aud the news OF his death
came as a sudden blow to his many
fr,ends. The deceased was appointed
assessor Of Lsfourche Parish by Gov,
ernor Nichols during the Iatters las:
;erm in the .uberoatorial chair. Mr.
Touvs Was a confederate veteran, and
his funeral, which took place yestsr-
day morning from the st. Josephi
Catholic Church, was largely attended
by the members of the Brax.on Bragg

refused this request, whereupon the
attorneys for the prosecution applied
tn the Supreme Court for a msndan.
mus compelling Judge Bruno to
permit them to take the testimony OF
the witnesses. Just few days ago
the Supreme Court granted the
msndammus, but it Was then too late
for the States counsel to do what
they had intended. Relative TO this
matter the Times Democrat published
the following as stated to their repOr-
ter by Attorney General Gulon.
Freddy was the only witness who
could testify to the real essential
facts that would establish the guilt OF
the accused. There were some wit.
nesses-in fact, several, who could
have easily cOrroborated him in many
r oiuts, but there was not a single
witness, except Reddy, that the State
had any knowledge Of who could
testify rs to the facts OF the homicide

were absolutely necessary 70 prove
the accused concluslvelv guilty.
"The district Judge had not held a
preliminary examination in the sase,
and the evidence of Reddy had never
been reduced to writing. We, there.
fore. could not put it before thu jury.
The physicians had given up all hope
Of his recovery. Dr.. Bloom had
come to Baton Rouge and had re-
turned to New Orleans after having
pronounced Rcldy's chances for
recovery hopeless. Feeling, therefore,
that his death was a mere matter Of
time. the State concluded. after re-
viewing all OF tn. circumstances, that
it would be All Idle ceremony to &c
through q mere form OF trial. We
therefore, entered . nolIc prose}ui iu

one involving the killing OF Askew

Court Of Baton Rouge a plea Of uolle
prosse 10 the case Ut the State OF
Louisiana 70 the Gsrig brothers, for
the reason that the material witness
for the prosecution, Mr.. I. Gordon

Askew and Reddy by the Garig
brothers, the counsel for the prosecu

to be given permission to record the
testimony of the witnesses for the
