Some time ago there was trou-
BILE between Mr.. Victor Maraist
and his son Edward and Mr.. Paul
Fournet Jr., at the justice of the
peace Office at Parks, third ward
of this parish. Paul Fournet Jr.,
and Edward Maraist were in a
fight, when Victor Maraist is re-
ported to have fired one shot at
Fournet. Adavit was made
against Victor Maraist and he was
arrested on the charge of shooting
with intent to commit murder.
Monday the grand jury reported
not true bill against Maraist.
The same evening Maraist was as
saulted by Paul Fournet Jr., with
a horse whip and severely thrash
ed. We do not know the merits
of the case that brought on this
trouble between Messrs. Maraist
and Fournet, but it is neverthe-
less deplorable and to be regret
ted.

w. s. THOMAS,

Dear Sir: If our agent charges
you 10 cents more for a gallon of
paint than somebody else, don't
think he is making more profit; we
charge him more; it costs US more.
It is all paint, true paint, and full
measure.
No other paint is all paint, true
paint, and full-measure, so far as
We know. That is wrong. We
know some that are pure and full
measure, but weak, thin, too much
oil and too little lead-and-zinc; an
honest sort of weakness; don't
know any better, may be.
1t amounts to this: 80 far as we
know: and we think we know the
whole Amer lean trade; there is no
other name but Devoe that stands
for all paint, full-measure. and
right proportion. That's why it
takes less gallons and wears long,
er.

Grand Jury Report.
To the Honorable the 10Th Judi
cial District Court in and for
St. Martin, Louisiana.
Your Grand Jurors beg to report
as follows:
COURT HOUSE.

We are exceedingly pleased to
say that the water closets have
been renovated as per our recon-
mendation in our last report.
The repairs and improvements
to the building proper are all that
can he desired; and this historical
edifice is now an adorment to the
Parish of st. Martin.
With very little expense that
part Of the lawn.-in front of it,
could be levelled off; grass seeds
sown, which would show off to
great advantage.
JAIL.
After a thorough inspection of
this building, we find that it is in
a much better sanitary condition
than it was on our last visit.
Window panes have set in, the
walls white-washed, sanitary steels
and bath tub are now being put
up. In fact all of our recommen-
dations have been complied with
in SO far as hygienic measures are
concerned.
The building itself is in a very
dilapidated condition; the walls
are cracked; the locks on the cells
and iron cage are not in working
order; this is a very serious mat
ter aud must be attended to imme-
diately.
We estimate that with one thou
sand Dollars, this building conld
be well repaired, aud put il first
class condition. We therefore re-
quest the Police Jury to give their
immediate attention to this very
important matter.
SUNDAY LAW.
We are sorry TO say that this
law is again being violated as your
Honor will see by the True bills
found against these violators.

COACHMAN is GUILTY
Negro Convicted of Perjury at the
Hartje Trial.

J PITTSBURG. Oct. 31.-CiNford Hooe
the negro formerly %coachnian LOT Au-
gustus Hartje, was convicted OIL per
, Jury in connection with Il deposl'ron
against Mrs. Mary Scott fiartJe "uu
which formed the hasls of the recent
sensational Hartje divorce trlal. On!
one ballot was taken by the jury anu
in half an hour the verdict was an
nounced.
The closing features\of the case were
sensational and exciting in the eX-
IRENE. The attorneys during the "rsu7
ments attacked one ano her ndlscrlihl-
nately with accusations. and during the
address of Assistant District Attorney
Robb the negro defendanti jumped from
his seat and shouted that,the attorney
lied.
When the verdict was announced
Hooe jumped from his chair, tosseu MS
arms aloft, swung them urlous
shouting. screaming, disappearing until
even the rougher part of the courtroom
crowd plainly was startled by his L
break. 1t was with difficulty that at
PENDANTS restrained the man suincleht-
ly to lead him out,of court.
Attorney J. Scott Ferguson addressed
the jury for the defense, making an
impassioned appeal for the negro and
criticising AssistantS District Attorney
Robb.
Attorney Fergusontsaid the case was
the most remarkablesever tried IN AL
iegheny county.
All he asked from the,court and jury
was what the presidenttof the United
States gives every man. be he white
or black, "a square deal"
He referred to Che fact that Hooe's
deposition had not been used IN the
divorce case and, after reciting the
defendants allegations of his treat
ment by the detectives, appealed to the
jurors to keep in mind the terrors OF
the third degree" telling them they
might some day be the victims OF an
army of private detectives.
Judge r. s.. Frazer's charge to the
jury was an impartial review of the
law and evidence, and thus ended a
trial which for scandal has seldom II
ever been equaled in Pittsburg.

WOULD SAVE SEA FISH
investigation Commission to Make
Protective Recommendations.

TRENTON, Oct. 31:-If the plan,
of a commission appointed by Gov
ernor Stokes under legislative au.
thority last spring are put into eff
feet, the present wanton destruction
of food and game fish along the Jer-
sey coast will be restricted by law
For many years a vigorous but here
tofore unsuccessful fight has been
waged by the people of the state
against the pound net and seine fish
ermen, against whom has been charg-
ed the growing scarcity of food fish
along the Atlantic ocean.
Backed by powerful lobbyists and
other potent influences, the pound
fishermen and the Cordage trust have
succeeded in blocking all effective re-
strictive legislation which has been
proposed. When the fight against
the pounds was renewed last winter
and it bacame evident that the legis-
lature would not agree to any of the
pending bills provision was made as
a compromise for the appointment of
a commission to investigate the en-
tire subject of salt water fishing and
report it's findings and recommends
lions to the next legislature.
Governor Stokes appointed Senator
George Shinn, of Ocean county; Jo-
seph Crawford, of Newark, and
Charles A. Shriner, of Paterson. Dur
ing the summer the commission has
made a thorough investigation of con-
ditions existing along the seacoast,
the results of which were put into
tangible form at yesterdays meeting.
One of the decisions of the commits
sion is that, owing to the manne in
which the pound net interests control
the output of food fish, the people of
the state are paying entirely too
high prices. They also discovered
that enormous quantities of food fish
toorsmaI Ito, be marketed are k
in the net hauls and instead of being
returned to the water are destroyed.
Thecommfssion decided to recon-
m~end{tp-the legislature that a bill be
passed authorizing the appointment
of a salt water fish commissioner,
whose department shall be entirely
seprate from the present Fish and
Game Commission. 1t will suggest
a single commission, the head OF
which shall receive a salary Sufficient
to Justify a competent man In UNDER
taking the work and devoting TO II
his eptdsetttme.
4 It1will also recommend that the
commissioner have supervision over
all fishing in the salt water within
the jurisdiction of New Jersey, ana
that an assessment be levied against
all pound nets. The commission VIII
also formulate a report embodylng
IFS views for the protection OF FISH.
