Good Game Sunday.

Next Sunday good game OF
bali is promised the lovers of the
sport in this section. Lafourche,
through its management has
been fortunate in securing the
Ford team out of New Orleans.
This aggregation of ball players
has already played ten games
this season and we are informed
that they won every one. Voegle
will do the twirling for the visi,
tors, while Harry Vitter will be
the reliable back stop. The local
as usual will depend on Sidney
Knobloch to lead them to victory
and Dame Knobloch to hold the
horse hide in his mitten, as well
as to tag the runners on second
if per chance they should reach
first. The locals were disaproin =
ted last Sunday in not having a
game. Agreement had been made
with Jeanerette, Mr.. Cleveland
Long tells US and at the eleventh
hour, after the game was adver-
tised the Jeanerette team advised
that it was impossible to be here.
Next Sunday the locals have the
best assurance that such willnot,
be the case and the rooters are
invited 10 be present and to
bring all their ginger out with
them to encourage the locals on
to victory. Agood game is as
sured and a big crowd is expec
ted. Both teams want to win
and a good game is but natural.

Lockport had some excitement
last week, other than organizing a
bank. An unidentified Mexican
created sensation there by making
threats that implied earnestness as
revenge against a former employer.
He was employed by Mr. W. R.
Forehand, section boss for the South
ern Pacific Railroad at that place,
and sought to revenge himself
against him after he had lost his
job. A report to the Picayune last
week, says that the Mexican had
threatened to kill Mr.. Forehan d,
as we'll as burn his home. A short
interval after the threats were made
the barn on the property was set a
fire and two horses in an adjoining
stable were totally'incinerated. The
Mexican was found on the Fore
hand premises armed with a knife
and is then alleged to have again
threatened to kill his former en-
ployer for having lest his job.
The proper affidavits are said tol
have been made against the stranger,
who was unidentified, outside of
knowing that he was Mexican,
and he was placed under arrest and
transported to this town and in
in the parish Jail. There
IS no telling what might have hap
pened if prompt action securing
lis arrest had not been taken.

The new territory recently added
to the town and placed within the
corporate limits WILL soon have i'm
provements in the way of additional
streets. The territory, as already
known, consists of that stretch lying
beyond st. Charles Street until the
Acadia line, below the Catholic
Church. The idea is to open St.
Bridget Street from St. Charles
Street to the Acadia line, giving
another straight road to point be-
yond the Catholic Church, as well
as open streets crossing it, from the
bayou to the Railroad. Three new
streets or more are assured, one be-
tween the Lefort property and the
College property, another between
the properties belonging to Prof.
Chol and the estates of Mr.: and
Mrs. MacBourg, and the widening
OF st. Joseph Street, now an alley.
There is also possibility of other
streets being proposed, parellleing
the ones just mentioned. This
will open large tracts of land to be
converted into ideal town lots, |
among others the old Tetreau park, |
the Mcculla lane, and the Bourg
woods.
We are reliably informed that |
will not be neces- |
sltated in any case, the people |
owning property being only too

tive lands. In the case of the

The Marvel Theatre, moving pic

the state, in looks, the most c)mfor-

having a tip top program, never
tires in making improvements. Mr..
Nolan has recently installed, in fact
only completed last week the in

business and large crowds are at
tracted nightly, Every patron, pur-

and every Tuesday evening a din
ner Set consisting of AZ pieces is
given away to the holder of the
lucky number, if he happens to be
in the house. The trouble and
pains to which this amusement Ell

for it the continued and liberal pa

of this theatre on Saturday afternoon
from three o'clock and every

to bring people to town and make
things look lively. We congratulate
