A special meeting OF the commits.
sion council was held Monday at
the courthouse to discuss the mar.
ket problem, all the commissioners
being present, as well as members
of the city Board of Health and a
number of citizens and ladies.
Mayor Lemann called the meeting
to order and said the time is at
hand when it is imperative that a
system of private markets be inaugu-
rated, Or a new and centrally locat-
ed market building be erected in
keeping with modern requirements
and the provisions of the State
Sanitary Code. The present mar
ket building has served it's purpose
and usefulness, is NO longer ade-
quate to the city's needs, is I'M
sanitary, and in need of extensive
repairs. Therefore, the problem re-
solves itself into one as to whether
it viii be more economical to repair
the present building or erect a new
and modern structure.
The clerk read communications
from various cities throughout the
state in response to inquiries for
copies of their market ordinances
and other data relative to their meth
DDS of operating the public markets.
DR.. Oscar Bowling, president of
the State Board of Health, being
present by special request, address
ed the meeting, giving the results of
his experience and observations on
various systems and methods Of oper-
ating public markets throughout the
country, his remarks, however, be-
ing principally along the lines of
sanitary requirements.
DIR. E. K Sims, member OF the
local Board Of Health, ex- Mayor Chas
Maurin, and several other citizens and
market patrons, as well as the butch
ers present, were called upon to
express their views. all being in
favor of a central public market.
Mayor Lemann stated that as pub
lie sentiment seemed to favor a
central market the question would be
considered by the city council .
ways and means devised to provide
the needed improvement with the
least possible delay.
With expressions of thanks to DR..
Bowling fur mis- able and interesting
address and valuable assistance, and
to all present for their interest and
cooperation, the council adjourned.

Attempts Robbery to Get Money to
Pay Debts. "

GUY H. Davis, young electrician
who for several months past has
been located in this city, is in jail
at Plaquemine, charged with attempt
ing to chloroform and rob Abe SLIDER,
manager Of the Central House Cafe
al that place. Davis desperate deed
was committed early Tuesday morn,
ing, and only the timely awakening
of Mr.. SLIDER foiled the scheme. Up
on being reused from slumber by a
noise in his room, Mr.. SLIDER detect
ed the odor of chloroform and called
his brother, who occupies the same
apartment. They searched the room
and found Davis under the bed,
grasping a quarter-pound bottle OF
chloroform. The intruder admitted
he was about to use the soporlf1e on
Mr.. SLIDER and then steal his dla-
monds, declaring he was badly in
need of money to pay numerous
debts he had contracted in Donald
sonville, and also to enable him to
marry a young woman Of this city to
whom he said he is engaged.
Davis was formerly in the employ
of the Cumberland Telephone Com
pany here as plant foreman, and sub,
sequently worked as a soda water
dispenser at Elmer's Sanitary Phar.
macy OF late he has been engag-
ed in the electrical wiring business,
and seemed to be meeting with fair
success. He left here Sunday night,
and stated he was going to New Or
leans. He is said to have admitted
that the chIoroform with which he
attempted to stupefy Mr.. Silber was
stolen from Elner's Pharmacy.
Davis debts here are declared to
be varied and numerous, and aggre-
gate a healthy sum. Among his liza
bilities are a board bill approximate
ing 500, due Mrs. J. C. Babin, and
many of the clothing stores and
otfer business establishments, as
we'll as individuals whom he touch
ed" are his creditors for amounts of
varying size. He was quite a ladies'
man, and an unpaid bill for soda wa
ter and candy at Elmers is said to
be evidence of his liberality and pop
ularity as Beau Bummel.
Davis father, ]. S. Davis, har-
ness-maker of CIarkesdaIe, Miss,
passed through Dona1dsonVille yes
terday morning on his way to Pla-
quemine, where he will make an eff
fort to secure the release of his son
and have the charges against him
dropped. Mr.. Davis says his boy
has never been in trouble before,
and that he must have been under
the influence of liquor or temporari-
ly out of his mind when he made
the attack on Mr. SLIDER. The as
sertion that young Davis stole dia-
monds from two wellknoWn citizens
of Plaauemine while in the employ
OF the Cumberland Telephone Com
pany at that place two years ago,
as made in a despatch from Plaque
mine to the New Orleans Times
Democrat, is vigorously denied by
Mr. Davis.

GOVERNOR HALL AND THE
STATES.

Hon. Luther E. Hall, governor OF
Louisiana, has Instituted a suit fol-
libel and defamation of character
against Col. Robert Ewing and Ma
jor J, Walker Ross, respectively pro
prietor and managing editor and pub,
Usher of the New Orleans Daily
States.
The claim for damages is set at
100000, and the ground upon which
the prosecution is based is the pub
iication#by the newspaper of several
articles concerning the stTensasi land
case'' in which the course of the
governor with reference to that mat
ter was severely criticised and the
inputaIion made that he was being
Influenced by improper motives.
The Chief is not sufficiently con-
versant with the facts of the con-
troversy to form an opinion at this
time as to whether the States has
overstepped the bounds of propriety
and impugned the character of the
governor unjustifiably, or perchance
the governor has been unduly sensi-
tive and resentful of legitimate crit
icisrn
In view of our hearty Endorsement
Of the steps taken by DR.. Dodson to
yindicate his reputation from the
ISLANDERS heaped upon him BY the
state official and his associate who
are now serving prison terms for
their abuse of the liberty of speech,
we cannot but approve the course OF
Gov Hall in seeking vlndlcatlon
through the law and the courts from
what he regards as an unWarranted
attack upon his character and an
abuse Of the liberty of the press.
It is to be hoped the trial OF the
case will be proceeded with as
promptly as practicable, for it is de-
sirab1e that the issues raised should
be settled quickly and definitively,
since the good name OF the state is
in a measure involved by reason Of
the exalted official position held by
the plaintiff.

ST. Elmo Railroad ia Operation.


By the publication of it's time card
in the columns of The Chief, the
newly-constructed st. Elmo, Belle
Helene & Louisiana Eastern Rail
road announces it's readiness to
handle passenger traffic on regular
schedules.
George w. Reese, president of the
line, states that arrangements have
been made to convey passengers to
and from the ferry landing at Oar.
row, and that the schedules have
been planned SO as to allow visit,
ors to Donaldsonyille practically a
full day in the parish seat for the
transaction of business.
The new road has also taken a step
that should put it at once high in
public favor, and that is the estab-
lishment of a passenger rate Of
cents a mile. To further stimulate
travel and offer a saving to those
who will use the line often, the COM
pany is selling a special commute
ton ticket, good for ten trips of
four miles, at a cost of SO cents, or
5 cents trip.
The announcement of the COM
mencement of operations on the St.
Elmo road has been received with
favor by all the citizens of the par
ish, and it is expected the new road
will be big factor In the upbuild-
ing of this part Of the country.
