SALOON KEEPER FINED.

There was quite an interest.
ing incident in the Court yester,
day evening just as the closing
hour came. Mr., Jules Landry
who had pleaded guilty to a
charge of keeping open on Sun
day came before the Court for
sentence and Judge Simon after
stating that he had announced
that tor first offenses the fine
would be 81 with heavier fines
for second and third otfenses,
imposed fine of Sag on the
detendent.
The Court room was just be-
ing cleared of the large crowd
that had been present to hear
the Sealy trial but there were
still many present who stayed
to listen to the sentence.
Hardly had the sentence
been passed when Mr. l.. B.
Delahoussaye stepped forward
and asked permission to say
word. MIR. DrIahoussaye then
protested to the Court at the in
justice that was being done to
the other saloon keepers in thus
allowing Mr.. Landry to escape.
He SAID ~ t it s,is we'll known
that the law had been frequent
ly broken by the deten-
dant and that it was unjust to
allow him to escape with so
small a fine when all the other
saloon keepers had obeyed the
law.
Judge Simon told MIR. Della
houssaye that if Mr.. Landry
had broken the laws more than
once the proper place to make
the charge was before the Grand
ury.
Mr.. Delahoussaye insisted
hat it was the duty of the
Court or some OF the officers of
he law to attend to the matter.
He had obeyed the law and
here was one who had broken it
md had escaped with a little fine.
Judge Simon said that Jules
landry had not come before
he Court before and this was
he first offense so far as the
ecord showed.
Mr.. DeIahoussaye said it was
veil known that this was not
he first ofense, although it
night appear SO from the rec
rds. He said he had so inform
d the Court and it was an in
lstice to him and the other sa
ocn keepers. He said that if
his was to be the outcome he }
'ould open his saloon.
Judge Simon said that was
is own lookout. Ii he broke
re law he should have 10 take .
le consequences.

o sEALY BROTHERS ACQUITTED.

AS this paper went to press to,
day the fate Of young Messrs. Ros-
coe and Richard c.. Sealy was in
the hands Of the Jury which is to
report in court at 10 O'Clock and
tell whether or not it has reached a
conclusion in this case which has
consumed three days in its trial
and interested very large portion
of the conn unity. The Jury re-
tired to consider the verdict at
about half past one o'clock this
morning after most arduous day
lasting from 9 o'clock yesterday
MOI ming with but brief intervals of
recess.
There were summoned for both
sides Of the case a large number of
witnesses only part, not one half
of whom were examined. For the
prosecution it was thought to
prove that the aggressor was Ros-
coe Sealy and that Dick Sealy had
fired at young George Brigham
and were guilty Of manslaughter in
that be was killed as the result Of
the street duel, No witness testi-
fed that he or she had seen Dick
Sealy fire his pistol although sew
-etal said they ba1@ >s-~siI him point it
in the direction of young Brigham.
High School girls testified that they
had seen Roscoe Sealy fire the first
shot. Several other witnesses for
the prosecution testified that they
had seen both Brigham and Roscoe
Sealy flash the ARRAY.
For the defense one boy posi-
lively testified that he had seen
young Brigham FIRE the first shot.
Dick Sealy and Roscoe Sealy testi-
fed to the same thing. Evidence
for the defense was admitted TO
show that the father of the deceased
with the consent Of the deceased
had made threat or threats against
the defendant Roscoe Sealy, fact
that the father denied upon the
witness stand. Roscoe Sealy on the
witness stand admitted that he had |
killed Young Brigham but said he |
did it because Brigham attacked
him.
For the prosecution last night
Messrs. Edwin Broussard and M.
T. Gordy made eloquent arguments
each endeavoring by ingenious ar
guments to show that Dick Sealy
had had more than one pistol and
had fred also at young Brigham.
For the defense Messrs. j. r. Davis
and Anthony N. Muller made equ-
ally ingenious arguments to show
hat it would have been impossible
for Dick Sesly to have fred and to
prove that Young Brigham was the
agressor after threats to kill.
These arguments occupied the time
IF the Court from s o'clock in the
evening till five minutes to one

RAILROAD NEWS.

President +. NJ. WEIGH, o.
the New Iberia, St. Martin and
Northern, who was in the city
yesterday, says that one OF the
finest undeveloped sections OF
Louisiana will be opened up by
Oct. |, 1908, when he new line
which is projected between New
Iberia and Port Barre is uplaced
in operation.
The proposed line will be
built from Port Barre southeast
through ArnaudviIle, Breaux
Bridge and ST. Martlnville to
New Iberia, a distance of forty
two miles, paralleling the South
ern Pacific the entire distance.
The preliminary lines have been
run and permanent locations are
now being made. The right of
way, Colonel WeIch says, is be
ing rapidly secured.
A short line will be built to
connect Lol eauville with New
iberia, seven miles Of track be
ing required for this.
In order to assist in the pro-
Ject, tax assessments have been
voted and others will be voted
by the people OF that section.
New Iberia has voted 100000.
At Breaux Bridge, on July "a,
the question of voting s. 5000
will be decided. At St. Mar
tinviIle, July 20, the voting OF
100000 will be decided. Lo-
reauvllle and the Third Ward
of Iberia Parish will decide, July
"a, to vote $4,000 for the
LoreauviIIe branch.
Colonel WEIGH says that the
construction will all be first class,
ties being seven by nine inches
and the rails heavy. Only one
bridge will have to be built and
that will be across the Teche.
The purpose of the builders,
Colonel Welch says, is to open
up the territory between Port
Barre and New Iberia, furnish
ing a short line from St. Louis
to New iberia. The necessary
connection will be made at Port
Barre with the Opelousas, Cult
and Northeastern, which has
just been built by the Gould in
terests and placed in operation
between Melville and Ope-
lousas. At Port Barre connec-
ton will also be made with the
Colorado Southern, New Or
leans and Pacific, the Frisco's
New Orleans II custom line.
The Southern Pacific also
reaches Port Barre with line
parallel TO the proposed line.
Through Port Barre, Mel
vile and Alexandria the new
inc will form connections which
vii give route from St. Louis,
'la Iron Mountain, Texas and
Pacific; Opelousas, Gulf and
Northeastern and New Iberia,
st. M Irtin and Northern to
Nv Iberia.
Colonel Welch says that the
errltory which it is proposed to
raverse, commonly called the ,
'Evangeline Country is one OF ,
he best sections for truck farm {
ng in Louisiana and that, with I
he proposed service, fine {

The movement toward moderation

that show that it is gaining in force
in England, and seems to be progress
siye as well as persistent.
Since 1900 the consumption of beef

the highest point reached in tie history
of the trade, to p 81 gallons, or IA pei

of rather less than four pints day for

SOME DESTRUCTIVE FIXES
IN LEXINGTON

The destructive fire of Sunday
calls to mind several disastrous
couGagratlons in the Fast. Inc
most noted CT these and the most
destructive as well was the fire OF
1895, when nearly the whole town
Was swept away by the devourlng
flames.
The fire in question broke out
April IL, 1905, In the stable OF
ANDY Windle, who kept tavern
where the furniture store Of Var
ner. Pole d Co. now stands, and
originated from the fire left in the
tavern stable by some men VINO
had been playing cards. The
day was windy and the flames
spread to all the houees below the
tavern ON Main street, which com
posed nearly all the town at
that time, and they were swept
away. William Alexander lived Ill
the Withrow house which was one
of the few brick houses OF the
place, if not the only one. Before
tie fire this house was the town
postofice and Mr.. Alexander was
postmaster.
Concerning this fire the follow
ing item was recorded in the ord
er book of the County Court OF
Rockbridge by A. Reid, the CLERK
"Rockbridge county, 1876, May
Srd. The day appointed by lew
for holding court for said county,
but the Courthouse having been
destroyed by fire on the eleventh
day Of April preceding, there was
no court holden. At the same
time the principal part of Lexing
ton was also burned, and a number
of the most wealthy inhabitants
much reduced in circumstances
the most of their property HAVING
been laid in ashes by the merclles'
element"
1t is interesting to note In Thu
connection that a lottery wa
authorized by the Legislature t
be conducted in Lexington fer th'
purpose of reimbursing the citl
zens of the town who susie lne'
losses in the fire. TIE drawing
were held in the Courthouse.
Another serious fire was tn
burning of the livery stables VI tn
National Hotel, afterwards rtbnll
end operated by l.. Wright, whlcI
occurred May IS: 1870. In addi
ton to the stable cOnslderaDl
nearby property was also DIES
troyed. The burning of the Tut
wiler building, corner Main an
Nelson streets, Was also a destruc
live fire.
