ELECTRIC FRANCHISE.

The franchise committee met Mon
day with Chairman Hardee and
Messrs. Briede, Smith, Kennedy and
Moore present. Frank c. Owens is
clerk of the committee. He read the
ordinance giving a franchise to the AL
giers Railway Company on Newton,
Teche, Opelousas avenue and Pacific
avenue.
Judge Moore stated that it was mere
ly to perfect the title. The franchise
had been sold to Messrs. Dinkins G.
Carroll, but after the erection of the
new viaduct there was a change of
three or four blocks, and they took the
position that they did not have a clear
title, although an ordinance was pass
ed making the changes. The company
owes the city S13,333 in connection
with the viaduct and wsuld not pay it
until the title was perfected and, al
though the attorney of the city thought
it YVES all right, he saw no harm in
the amending of the matter by selling
them that franchise at nominal price,
after which they will be expected to
come across with the one and the four
threes. The ordinance was reported
favorably.

SISTERS SEE JURORS DRAWN To
TRY BROTHER FOR MURDER.

Among the capital cases now pend
ing in the Criminal District Court is
that of William f. Kelly, who is charg-
ed with the murder Of A. Wattigney,
some time since.
The trial of the case was fixed for
this week, and two sisters of the aC-
cused young man took it upon them
selves to try and fix some of the jurors
who might be summoned to try Kelly,
and among those visited was George
+. Klocke, who is one of the panel of
jurors in Section B, where the case is
to be tried
Klocke is employed by the American
tobacco factory, and on Thursday last
kelly's sisters called at that place and
asked to see him. They at once re-
quested him to be lenient with their
brother in case he should be drawn
on the jury. Klocke informed the la
dies that he regretted that they had
spoken to him, intimating that he was
compelled TO lay the facts before the
district attorney. The ladies told him
that it was not necessary for him to
tell any one. The information having
been brought to the district attorney
he at once had the case continued, to
be refixed, and meantime he will en-
deavor to have the sisters punished for
this infraction of the laws.

THIRTY-THIRO ANNIVERSARY.

The Deutscher Understandings Yer
Elm, commonly known as the German
Benevolent Association, will celebrate
their thirty-third anniversary on Sat
urday, April Goth, at Pythian Hall.
This is, perhaps, the oldest benevolent
organization on our side of the river.
Sometime ago they were Obliged to re-
charter their organization as the first
corporation was liquidated on account
of the expiration of the charter. The
association is made up principally of
German citizens, while, however, it is
not necessary to be a German to be-

They have done quite a great deal of
good here and they take pleasure in
celebrating their anniversaries each

HENRY BROWNS MURDERER TIC
BE TRIED AT GRETNA.

A great deal of interest is being
taken in the trial of Louis Burdeneve
who so brutally murdered Henry
Brown at a picnic in May, 1910. The
case is to come up in the Gretna court
in a few days. Burdeneve is repre-
scented by Attorney F. A. Middleton,
while the Brown family have secured
the services of Lionel Adams to assist
District Attorney Marrero in the pro-
secutiCn.
Brown was killed by Burdeneve by
receiving a blow in the head with a
fence picket. The murdered man left
a large family, consisting of a wife
and nine children. The results of the
trial will no doubt be awaited with a
great deal of interest.
