REPAIRING BURNED BUILDING

Good Brick.
A crew OF men are at work re-
pairing the building known as the
Office saloon on Sherman street,
which was recently damaged by fire.
The property belongs to Taylor
brothers who recently petitioned the
council for permission to repair It
and special meeting was held to
act upon their application, but when
the ordinance was examined 1t was
ascertained that the council was
powerless to do anything, and that II
deyolVed upon the committee on
light, water and fire and the chief of
the fire department to examine the
building and to make a report con-
demning or recommending that It
be repaired. An examination OF the
building was made and the owners
OF the property notified of the adj
verse action, but the property own
ers take the position that the ordi-
nance Is defective, and that under
It's provisions they can not be re-
strained from repairing the building,
unless complaint is made by adjacent
property owners. No complaint has
been made and they are having the
building repaired. 1t Is not their in
tention to make the building per-
manent, but to move 1t either this
fall or spring and construct In It's
place a brick building. and they say
the repairs are temporary.

DEPUTY bROUSSARO ACQUITTED.

The court house was filed with
interested citizens on Tuesday at
2 p. IN. to witness the trial of
Deputy Sheriff Saul Broussard
on the charge of attempted bri-
berry.
The state vas represented by
District Attorney Campbell and
the defendant by Attorneys
Grow Girard and Jno. L. Kennedy.
1t was decided to try all the
charges together.
Noise BrasseauX was the first
placed On the stand. He testified
that on January 6, DeputyBrous-
sard had called at his house and
had offered in order to influence
his vote to give him S11OO, the
amount of a bet made with John
Conques, provided the ward was
carried by Lacoste, and that he
had refused. On cross eXamina
ton by Attorney Kennedy he
stated that in making the attida-
Wit that he had no intention of
doing Mr.. Broussard harm; that
it was only to make politics
and to publish it in the paper.
He also said that he determined
to make the affidavit after having
had a talk with Simonet Breaux,
John Conques and Claude Latio'
lais. When asked as to how
much influence he had, could not
say whether he could control ten.
five or any votes. That no one
was present when Broussard
made the offer.
#. A. Brasseaux was next
called and testified that Deputy
Broussard had came 20 his house
and offered him 500. a bet made
ov Alphonse Peck on the result
of the primary. if Peck won his
bet. to influence his vote, which
he refused. On cross examina
ton he stated that no one was
present when Broussard made
the offer. that he invited Brous
sard in to drink coffee in his
house. that he did not intend t.
hurt Broassard by making the
affidavit, that it was only fol
political effect, that he was tol6

made the affidavit to publish int
the paper. :
Emile Cormier was then called
and testified that Deputy Brous.
sard had called at his home and
had offered him $50 for his vote
and $3.50 for each member of
his family he could influence to
vote for the Lacoste ticket. Said
that he heard a crowd TALKING
about the Brasseaux charges and
he remarked that Broussard had
made him an offer too. Jean
Conques, Claude Latiolais and
Slmonet Breaux had talked
with him abont his statement
and that as d result he had
signed the affidavit which Latio-
lals wrote. He did not do it to
hurt Broussard but for political
eHectS and to publish.
Deputy Saul Broussard Vas
then called in his own de-
tense and stated that he
was in Carencro on Jan. }
and 3. had called on the parties
making the affidavit, had talked
politics with them and with
others, but denied positively
having made any offer of any kind
to influence either of the men
making the charge or Of anyone
else. That two days after he had
called at Noise Brasseaux' house
to serve notice on him as mem
Der of the Executive Committee
that BrasSeaux had offered to
shake hands with him and that he
refused.
The case was submitted with
out calling any witnesses or
making any argument.
Judge Pugh briefly summed
up the main points of the evi.
dence and stated that accOrdi -
to the evidence the offer of $11OO
for Noise Brasseaux' influence
and vote was absurd. AS to tie
rest. it was a case of white a Ill
black. one made the charge. tie
other denied. and therefore IN,
der the circumstances there was
nothing left for him except to
discharge the accused.
Court was then adjourned and
Deputy Broussard was congrat-
ulated by his numerous frie IDS
upon his acquittal.

ed the behOlders some new and original
stunts in ragged marching. And the
Alexandria Infantry lived up to its
name
The line of march led up and down
every street in town and overlooked on
the sidewalks. The artillerymen bumped
over some Cobblestones they swore
must have been laio prior TO BraddOck' 5
defeat. The infannymen staggered on,
believing they we're crossing the Blue
Ridge mountains. The leg work was
something fearful to see. The horses
proceeded in a series OF motions that
made them look ike kangaroos on pa
rade. In Snort, it was demonstrated
that parade in Alexandria is fine train
ing Tor troops.
Real Celebration.
After the parade the real celebration
came. Alexandria took on the hubbub
of New York and the glitter of Paris.
There were two places where the big
show was continuous. One was Lee
Camp Hall, where Mayor Paff held
forth. The other was the headquarters
of the Chamber Of Commerce. consisting
Of two rooms and a green curtain.
It was in the rooms OF the Chamber
Of Commerce that the star stunts were
pulled of. Here, more than anywhere
else, there were men who wished to
make speeches and who gratified their
wishes without stint. An elaborate
lunch was laid on a table and left uu-
disturbed. a punch bowl and a table
grooming under whisky and beer bot
ties were as popular as an odds-on-
favorite AT Renning. Hither came at
various times all the dignitaries, sol
diers and ordinary people.
Whisky's Bouquet.
The whisky had a bouquet that ellie
tied the comment that It must have
been made by Washington's soldiers
IN their leisure moments during the
siege Of Yorktown. The punch, which
slipped down as innocently as clear
spring water, acted on the human
brain in a way that made the victim
reckless enough TO talk 10 his mother
in-law as II h meant IL. X got a cast
iron grip on the head that made things
look rosy as optimism. And everybody
was optimistic.
One sad development here was the
uumasking OF Ike Gregg. a Well-kn0Wn
newspaper correspondent. who has been
rosing for some years as native
Virginian. He was shown up BY an
old acquaintance, VINO said Gregg was
born in Germantown. Pa, and was a
Republican except when he was in
Alexandria, at which times no was a
dead ore"
Dinner time came, and all Alexandria
had company. IN every home there
were gues Is.
Debt 10 Washington.
The natives knew they owed Wash
ington something for having kept tire
town on the map, and they were willing
10 pay for II. The guests seemed well
pleased. There were dances. singing
and other real music. Beauties from
all parts Of the Old Dominion reigned
in old-time spiendor. and broke hearts
by the wave of their fans or the lift
Of their eyebrows.
At the big meeting in the evening
speeches were made by by Speaker

guisEed men. The list is too long to
