Sensational Article in the
Times. Democrat.
N. /. Observer.


The sensational article that ap-
peared in the Times-Democrat of
the 4th inst, as telegraphed from
New Iberia about the very unfor-
tunate affair that happened in Mr..
A. Daigre's store on the morning
of the 3rd inst, is such garbled
statement as to require correction.
Not over one. third of the sad
event is correct. In the first place
the young lady only fired two
shots, one at Daigre, the other
said to be at Mr.. Burke. The
proof of same is when Mr.. Burke
turned over the revolver to the
Grand Jury that was then in ses-
sion there was but two cartridges

Three short weeks ago Sr. Ga

to the beautiful Teche for vaca-
ton of four weeks; and before the
time eKpire.i the pure soul OF this
holy nun, was summoned to the
heavenly home above to receive
the bright crown of Glory, for
which she worked SO zealously,
for, in the order for thirty four
years. As the yesper bell chimed

ter Gabriel expired in the arm Of
her superior with the sweet words
upon her lip "Thy will be done
Oh! Lord! Meath the shadow of
the grand old Evangeline Oak; this

the humble sister of Mercy an

al took place from st. Martin

exploped ind three remained un-
exploped, showing that only two
shots had been fired. When the
young lady arrived in the mornin g
there was no men in the store as
reported. Mr.. Burke was not
present when the shot was fired
at Daigre, but was at his residence.
He only learned of the occurrence
from one of the clerks who came
to his house in an excited manner
and informed him that Mr.. Daigre
was shot, go quick. 1t was then
that Mr.. Burke rushed tn the store
and found the young lady in q
perfect frenzy, revolver in hand.
standing near a show case, and as
he advanced the young lady fired
another shot and Burke retraced
his steps and called for help to
try and pacify the young lady,
who was in such q state of excite
ment that she could not control
herself. Mr.. Daigre's family did
not join him at Jeanerette, but all
left their home together. The de-
| plorable affair was sad enough
without coupling it with such a
sensational and garbled sta temen'
in a big daily journal. We sim
cerely regret that any one who
would call himself friend or those
also who we're unfortunately impli
Gated in this sad affair could have
their name heralded in such q
manner.
Mr.. Daigre has been a valuable
and progressive citizen in our com
munity and deserves the suppor
of we'll thinking citizens now il

he is not responsible. A misfor
tune that has befallen him 80 sud

Appropriation for Benefit Of School
Building I'm Southeast.

Building I'm Southeast.
The District appropriation bill approved
March /, 1901, provides the sum Of $4,000
for reconstructing the public school build
ing at 7th and G streets southeast into a
four-room manual training school. DR..
Richard Kingsman, chairman of the board
of education's committee on buildings, re-
pairs and sanitation, has transmitted to the
Commissioners, at their request, state
ment Of the superintendent Of schools. Mr..
A. T. Stuart, as to what is desired to be
accomplished with the appropriation, with
an accompanying ground plan by way OF
suggestion as to the use to which the bulid-
ing is to be put and the relative amount OF
space desired for each department.
This plan, explains Mr.. Stuart, indicates
lumber and varnish rooms ana class
room a cooking school and a cutting and
fitting school, with necessary toilet rooms
for the boys and girls, but he makes no
suggestions whatever as to the construc-
ton, heating or ventilating of the proposed
building.
.'The plat" says Mr.. Stuart, showing the
lines of the present inclosure and buildings
and the lines of the entire lot, i believe,
was originally furnished by Mr. Bah, the
insuector of plumbing. and was presumably
obtained by him from the District surveyor
1t includes quite a strip of ground on the
west, which is not inclosed by the fences
of the present school yard, and l have no
recollection in the twenty years In which
| was supervising principal of the division
In which the building is located that Ii was
ever included in the school lot or claimed
by the District. I have used the entire
width of the lot in my plan excepting mar
row strip on the extreme northwest, which
seemed to be too inaccessible to be OF any
value l presume that the owner or the
property on the west is likely to claim that
portion of the ground not now included In
the school lot, by adverse possession, and
the District may have to clear up the title
before building"
