LOUISIANA
STATE
HAPPENINGS.
Entire List Wanted.

Colonel Charles Schiller, Commls-
sioner of Agriculture and immigration
is interested in securing for his de-
partment complete list Of the farm
ing lands for sale in Louisiana. The
need for such information is apparent
to the State Board of Agriculture ey-
cry day. Letters are frequently re-
ceived from parties in other States
who desire to locate in Louisiana,
asking for information in regard to
tions of the state. Only recently 4 let
ter was received from a party in West
Virginia stating that he wanted to
come to purchase good farming lands
near a good school, where his children
could receive the proper education.
The State Department now has no
complete list of farming lands, the
character Of the soil, price of land,
etc, on file in its Office. Such a list
of available farming lands would en-
able the department to keep in touch
with the party and learn of his sue
cess. Some definite movement towards
getting this information will probably
be made by the department.

Charge of Embezzlement.

In the District Court at Donaldson
vile, District Attorney G. A. Gondrsn
filed two informations, one against Al
len Jesse Sutherland for embezzle-
ment and the other against Elmos
Williams for cutting with intent to
murder. Southerland is the young
white man who about two weeks ago
while station agent at Burnside is al
legged to have robbed the American
Express Company of several hundred
dollars. The Information charges him
with having smbezzled $763.7O from
the Express Company. Williams was
arraigned, pleaded no. guilty, and his
case fixed for May 8. Switzerland was
not arraigned, owing to the absence
of his counsel.

Joy Kills Veteran.

Mobile, Ala@As the Confederate
veterans Of Raphael Semmes Camp
were gathering at the Louisville and
Nashville depot to take their special
train for New Ieans. Daniel w.
Logan, who had been cheerily read
ing to his comrades, and was partic-
ularly joyful over the prospective trip
to the Reunion, suddenly reeled and
started to fall backward. He was
caught by one Of his comrades and
gently laid on the depot platform. A
physician on the train was hastily
summoned, but the venerable soldier
had passed TO answer the final roll
call before the medical man could
reach his side.
Mr.. Logan was II years old, a ma
tive of Charleston, S. c., but a res
ident Of this city from childhood. He
fought through the war as a member
of cavalry company, and was in
number of important engagements. He
was subject to heart disease, and it is
thought that his exuberance of Joy at
being able to attend another reunion
and meet old friends and comrades
brought on the fatal attack.

New Shock, at Salinas.

Los Angeles.-A long distance tele-
phone message to this city from a cor
respondent of the Associated Press
atSalinas, 12O miles south of San
Francisco, states that three more
heavy earthquake shocks were felt
there Friday night, one at 8 o'clock
and another at $50 and the third at
p o'clock Saturday morning. The
shocks lasted about four seconds each,
but so far as known did no damage.
The shocks could not be reported
from Salinas sooner, owing to the lack
Of all kinds Of communication.
The Salinas river is reported to
have been sunk ten to twelve feet all
along its course for miles, as a result
of the earthquake last week.
Nearly all of the bridges across the
river have been condemned and will
have to be rebuilt.
A later telephone message received
by the Evening Express says that
earthquake shocks have been felt
there daily since the first disaster
April Is, but no further damage was
done.

anyone interested to send in such con-
tributions as they can spare for the
carrying on of the work, as the ex-
pense will not stop at the building
but rather will increase as a fund for
support and maintenance will be
needed.

Briscoe, a young white man, who last

plOred the reign Of crime in Catalonia

A QUICK VERDICT
Atlanta Woman Who Slew
Sister Found "Not Guilty."
MADE PLEA OF INSANITY
Closing Chapter of the Most Sensa-
tionaI Tragedy Ever Enacted in
Atlanta-Some Features of
the Trial.

I'VE, the jury, ma the ueIenudnI
not guilty." was the verdict reached
IT, less than ten minutes in the case
of Mrs. Willie Standifer, who was
tried in the criminal branch of the
superior court in Atlanta Friday for
the killing of her sister, Miss Chapel
Whisenant, on March last.
The verdict was given in a silence
that was oppressive. The stiffness
was so intense that the breathing OF
the people in the packed court room
was audible. There would probably
have been an outburst of applause II
Judge Roam lad not commanded that
there should be no demonstration, no
matter what the verdict was. He
called to the sheriff to stop the jury,
as it was about to file into the court
room, and said:
There must be no demonstration,
whatever the verdict in this case may
be. This is a court room, and in
struct the deputies to arrest the first
rerson who makes demonstration.
That was why the verdict was re-
ceived in such deep silence.
The women who sat near the pris
oner, her sisters and friends, dropped
their faces in their hands and wept.
Mrs. Standifer looked about her like
frightened child, and clasped and I'M
clasped her fingers nervously.
The last chapter in one of the most
pathetic tragedies that ever occurred
in Atlanta had ended. A poor, frall
woman upon whom death~is about to
set its seal in ''consumption's CHASTITY
FORM" had been arraigned at the bar
of justice for Staying her own sister.
Her plea was that she was so goaded
to desperation by heartless husband,
who had found in her young sister
victim for his faithlessness, that she
became so madly insane that she slew
her sister to save her from dishonor,
and to protect herself and little child
from the social ruin that must fol-
low.
The jury was out nine and a half
minutes when they announced that
they were ready with a verdict. The
foreman handed the slip Of paper to
the clerk of the court, who took it and
read:
I'VE, the jury, find the defendant
not guilty"
The story had all been told, and
Mrs. Standifer left the court room,
with her sisters and lady friends, a
free woman in the eyes of the law,
and dsubtless in the sight of that
God to whom she appealed in the last
words of her statement to the jury.
At one time while Mr.. WesIriore-
land, the womans attorney, was speak
Ing to the jury, Mrs. Standifer faint
ed, and her sisters had to revive her
by throwing water ii her face.
Two startling features marked the
trial. One was Mrs. Standifer's plea
OF delusioDary insanity and the other
was the ruling out by Judge Roam of
ten letters from Standifer to Miss
Whisenant, which we to have been in

tragedy, was ruled out.

A campaign for the defeat Of the

ments reducing other tariffs are be-

1t will be so loaded down as to arouse

with those islands. 1t is understood
