Last Thursday evening there
was a little comOtiOn caused IN
the vicinity of our Office by the
excited announcement that the
Alma House was a fire. A few
buckets Of water, promptly APP
piled, squelched the trouble. The
fire was Of peculiar origin. just
al the electric light current was
turned on for the evening by the
power plant the double-poll stand
ard switch in the Alma House hall
upstairs, burst into flames, which
|ignited the woodwork adjacent.
The heat became SO intense that
one of the lead wires was melted
off. All the upper portion of the
house was filled with a dense
smoke Of burning paint and at
tracted attention from the street
It is thought that the trouble
must have been caused by short
circuit in the switch, though mo-
easily accounted for. It is fortu
nate that the trouble developed
at an early hour Of the evening
while everyone was astir.

very near future. A stock com
pany was in process of Organiza

600, of which $l2, 500 was to be
paid in cash. This latter cum was
to be used in developing the in

been determined it would pr0ba
bly, be called the st. Martins and

A Hornets Nest.

Mr. Henry Broussard left here
on last Monday in company with
MIR. II. h Morrel', to go to Glib
son to correct some troubles in the
gasoline engine of Mr.. Morrelrs
launch. After the engine was
put in first class shape a trial trip
was made to test the work done
During the run IN one of the
swamp bayous Of the region they
discovered large hornets nest
hanging in cottonwood tree
about 10 feet above the ground
Mr.. Broussard determined at once
to capture the prize and briz g it
home. Accor sinly he armed him
self with a pan, sulphur aid a
pole and retained to the place.
The colony of hornets was a
large one, but the fumes of burn
ing sulphur at their portal des
troyed them in many round hun
dreds. The nest was captured
and brought to this place. 1t is
81 inches 10 length and measures
36 inches in circumference and il
a marvel OF insect skill and indus,
dry.
MIR. BrOussard brought the nest
to our Office on Tuesday morning
for our inspection. then took it
down town to DR.. Lees drug store
to place it on exhibition for few
days in his show window. Those
