ton to meet him." This was done,
and the complaint states that Mrs.
Scott found that she was to appear
before Superintendent Babbitt and
Commissioners A. +. Judd and Mrs.
Wilcox and that Mrs. Scott then
heard voluminous and grave charges
against herself, covering a period of

HELP ARRIVES.

The acquisition of a drunken Cana dian at this point in the affair struck Grimbleshaw as a wholly unnecessary complication. The mans drunkenness and sleep were almost too natural. He suspected trick. and, at least, every added factor that did not bring him aid was an embarra ssment.
 He accepted the hazard under ad- mission of compulsion and again took up the finding of the servant only to be again baked by the impossibility of waking her. At first he suspected her to be drugged, but later became satisfied that she was one of those be- ings of routine. accustomed to go to sleep at 9 o'clock and wake at 5. who are dead to the world and it's happen ings between those hours. There was, Nin any event. no help for him in that direction, and he returned to the kitchen with no alternative before him but to take the risk and go himself for help
 He began search for a lantern. and then recalled that there was one at the turn from the road into the fields that surrounded the house. He se- cured it and had started back. when he caught a glimmer of light from the chamber where the injured man lay. which he had visited again in search ing for the lantern. Under the sur prise of this new feature he stopped, with his eyes on the window. At that instant the form of a man passed across 1t. going in the direction of the bed. He seemed as tall but not

rRAFFoRD AND BEcKwITH.

On the morning of the day succeed
 ing that of Altenburg's death Mrs.
 Altenburg came to Lanceboro and
 went at once to the farm. She was a woman of fifty-five. who at times look ed to be seventy. She was accom- panied by her son and daughter. the
 latter a girl of twenty. and the son some five years older. In the after noon of the same day the son gave out the following statement through their attorney, Harrison Beckwith: My mother was not the wife, but the sister, of the late John Altenburg.
 Her name is Mrs. Elizabeth Calden.
 but for family reasons some ten years ago she assumed that of her brother and permitted herself to be knowni as
 his wife, My sisters name is Judith, and my own Horace Calden. Six
 months ago my mother left her broth CTS house to take up her residence
 elsewhere. Her return at this time is due solely to her brothers death and the necessity of looking after his af- fairs. She is prepared to do every. thing in her power to secure the ar. rest and punishment of his murderer if it be proved to have been murder ' This statement caused a sensation ir Lanceboro second only to that caused by the murder itself. Bushrod Traf- ford. the detective summoned at Fry's | instance, read the paper within five minutes of his arrival. He was struck at once by the little that it said under | the guise of absolute frankness The public had been taken into the family's confidence without being told any thing His first visit was to Beck with's office.
 "How much am I to be told?" he asked as soon as their greetings were | over.
 Beckwith glanced at the detective l with something resembling a smile on his lips, and yet with an air not un- 1 like that which the latter wore when 1 he wished to emphasize his profes- sional character. as he did at this moment.

 In the course of the search it was found that there was a side passage leading from the one to the buttery, into which the rear outer door opened At the end of this was another door opening, apparently, into the room of which the other door opened into the front entryway.
 The officers now forced the door from this entryway, the key being found in the inner lock. It gave ac- cess to room comfortably. though far from luxuriously. furnished as a sit- ting or living room. The windows had heavy green shades under their white curtains, and back of these were old fashioned wooden shutters, securely closed. There was a carpet of ingram on the floor, marked with footprints that proved but partly dry. A large couch at the farther end had almost the appearance of a bed, and on it was an impress, as if some one had recently been lying there. At its foot was a door which was unfastened and led into tiny entry, on which opened the door from the side passage. This was fastened. as has been said. but the key was not in the lock.
 There was no window in the entry. but third door opened into what seemed a closet. but proved a narrow stairway, which led to the room above, into which it had entrance without hall or entryway. This room was fur nished as a bedroom, with a large four-poster, much like that on which Altenburg was dying. The bed had evidently been recently used. The windows were as carefully curtained and shuttered as those below. The key was in the lock of the door leading to the upper halL and there were foot prints on the carpet. as was the case below, only not so distinct.
 One of the officers was able to identi- fly the sleeping Canadian as the man of all work about the farm. Indeed. he had been in the village during the evening in a quarrelsome mood. and finally was induced to go home under threat of the lookup. Evidently he had liquor with him, or else had se- cured it on the way home at one of those illicit drameries which are the bane of prohibitory localities.
 While this investigation was in pro- gross the Ephysteians. performed the operation on the injured man. The

vain hope of his regaining conscious ness faded with the mans ebbing strength, and in the early hours of the morning he died, thus destroying the means of resolving the mystery of his undoing.

FIRE.

The fire alarm given at nine
o'clock Monday night brought out
an immediate response from The
fire department and the people, as
it was Immediately noticeable that
the fire was very threatening.
The fire was in the home Of Vic
tor Molbert, colored man, on the
south side of Bridge street, east
side. and when discovered, the
building was almost entirely wrap
ped in flames and famed by a
strong south wind, rendered the
situation serious as the sparks and
burning embers fell like a shower
of fire upon that entire section
north of Bridge street, and it was
only the strong efforts of the de-
partment and the people with an
Unlimited supply of waters that
saved that part of town.
The building was worth $500 or
S6OO with no insurance. The cause
of the fire is unknown.

VermilliOn, Teche and Atcha-

Last Saturday delegates from
Abbeville and st. Martinville met
the people at Lafayette at the lat

connecting the Vermillion with
the Teche and the Atchafalaya Ri

After the matter had been tho
roughly discussed, the people of
tho three parishes realized how
important 1t WAS for them, as it
would naturally become part of
the Intercoastsl Canal even if not
adopted by the Government; the
steam boat people have said that
this is the only practical route.

In MensOrian.

Mrs. Jefferson Vavasseur, nee
Josephine Rochon died at her
home, after a brief illness on
Thursday April LIST. This depar-
ted mother of fifteen children has
lived most upright and beautiful
life, her death leaves a void that
can never be filled; still to her
husband it is consolation to know
that she exercised benevolent in
tiuence over the home circle and
was a christian wife and mother.
But do not despair fond husband
and loving children, she is not
dead-the one you loved so dearly,
she has only gone before you to
the "paternal home" her mission
here, was ended and God has ia
ken her to adorn His Celestial
home"
Indeed you will miss her as was
remarked by the writer's little
five-year grandson jeff will be
lonesome" While she manifested
some regret in leaving her loved
behind she yielded her soul to her
Maker fearless of death, because
she knew that she would not have
to meet an ansrere and severe
Judge but loving Father aud
Requiter for duties conscientious
ly performed, aud who would place
upon her head the crown of hap
plness.
To her bereaved husband and
children We tender our sincere
sympathies. FRIEND.
