IN MEMORIAM.

Since in His Divine wisdom,
The Almighty has seen fit to move
from our midst, our dear and be-
loved brother, Joseph Martial
BabineauX, it is meet and proper
that we, his brothers should give
expression Of our sincere regrets
at his untimely demise.
Young, affable, kind of heart,
a loving and dutiful son and an
affectionate brother, he was loved
and respected by all who enjoyed
his acquaintance.
His disposition, his character,
his af'ability were like unto the
fragrance Of the sweetest flower,
that spread gladness and content
ment over the entire community
Therefore be it resolved that we
the members Of the Societe de
Bienfaisance ct d'Assistance Mu-
tuelle de Ia NouveIIo Tberie. do
hereby depIore his untimely death,
and extend our heartfelt sympa-
thies to his bereaFed family. and
breath fervant prayer that his
departed soul may forever rest in
peace, and that the Almighty in
His tender mercy may soothe and
alleviate the SORROWS of his be-
reaVed family and friends

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 12.-Th

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 12.-The
gravity of the negro problem is
not confined to the United States
by any means. England faces it
in her Colonies; the whole world
faces it. The problem Of the flu
ture of that race is one of the
greatest and gravest confronting
the civilization.
In a speech which greatly i'm
pressed his hearers, Sir John
Roger, Governor of the English
Gold Coast Colony Of Southwest
Africa, expressed these views here
at the Brerean Presbyterian
Church last night.
''In Africa" he said "negroes
out number the whites in proper
ton of five million to one thou
sand. How to educate them is as
grave question there as it is in
America. Our greatest trouble is
to induce them to work with hands
in the trades. The hope of the
negro race lies in manual labor.
| have little doubt that the negro
race in America will soon realize
this and will really take their place
other races here. "

who is much his senior, James
Trowbridge, well-to-do contrac-
tor, has been keeping her a prison
er, his daughter says, in his barn
on an allowance Of food too small
to sustain life. These facts came
out when Trowbridge was ar
raigned on complaint of his daugh-
ter, who had discovered her moth
er's plight and had caused his ar
rest.
Between sobs, Mrs. Trowbridge,
who is 70 year sold, testified that
for three weeks she had been kept
locked in the barn without fire.
The temperature some nights fell
toward zero, it was said.
. For the last week Mrs. Trow-
BRIDGES only food was ginger
cookies, which Trowbridge took
to her in paper bags. Her hus-
band had told her she was too old
to have around the house.
But Jim's heart isn't bad, :"

ard threatened to have the life
OF the time keeper. Not only that.
but he threatened to brain the
person who attempted to use the
telephone and call for assistance.
For a time he guarded the tele-
phone and would permit no one
to approach it. Then one of the
Office force managed to get at it
and called the Sheriff, holding his
revolver in one hand and threaten
ing. to shoot.
Finally the man left the Office
and the force Immediately locked
the door and waited for the sheriff
to appear. This enraged the man
still more and for a long time he
bombarded the office with what
ever he could get his hands on.
Iron, bricks and stones were hurl-
ed through the windows while
the Office force did not wish to
shoot him, preferring to wait for
the sheriff.
When Sheriff Henderson ap-
peared the man had just left the
refinery by a back door and was
making off down the railroad
tracks. The Sheriff Immediately
set out in pursuit and the chase
led down toward the marsh near
the lake. The Sheriff fired seve-
raj shots in the air but the fugi-
tive kept on and was not stopped

collar.
Returning to the refinery the
Sheriff placed the other two men
under arrest and brought them to
the City late yesterday evening.
They were locked up in the Par

them.

TROUBLE AT sH0uRA REFINERY.

According TO all accounts there
was very lively time at Segura
yesterday as intimated in these
columns aud as a result three men
who caused all the excitement
and trouble are under arrest and
in the Parish Jail to await the ac-
tion of the Grand Jury on charges
raging from arson down to as
sault with deadly weapon.
1t appears that these men. who
are strangers and who have given
what are believed to be fictitious
names, had been working at the
Segura Refinery, and had deter
mined to quit They demanded
that their time be made up and
their money turned over to them
and when they were informed
that there was a regular pay day
and that they could not get their
time and money till then they be-
came obstreporous.
Late Sunday night there was
fire in what is known as the Coop

it is thought that it was incend- |
iary in origin. 1t was extinguish- |

tainable the prowler started in last
night at the residence of Mr. Al
fred Bayard in the East End.
Mr.. Bayard heard some thing at
his door. Thinking at first it was
the dog he paid no attention to it
but again he heard the noise and
went to the door to find out.
He opened the door expecting
to see the dog but what was his
surprise to find before him the big
black form of a man. The Prov
Ter was as surprised as he but re-
covered in an instant and turned
and leaped over the fence before
Mr. Bayard had recovered his
presence of mind.
In his flight he probably cross
ed the yard Of Capt. Chas. NJ.
Guess where he was seen by the
police who were in that end of the
City watching. They fred at his
fieing from but so far as known
| they did not hit him and for the
rest of the night he kept under
cover.
The noise of two pistol shots
fired by the police walked up the
Presidents of the East End and
there was quite midnight ex-
citement, which did not settle
down for some time.
1t seems that Chief Migues and
two Of his force went to the East
End to watch for the prowler last
night. Up to eleven o'clock moth
| ing happened and Chief Migues
went home leaving the officers
there to see if they could not bring
| the man down. The instructions
were to shoot if they saw him in
any of the yards.
