COAT OF MILBRANT
 FOUND IN DEBRIS

About an hour after the body of Darnell was found, the workers came across another coat. It was buried deep beneath the wreckage Papers found within the pockets proved that 1t belonged to Irving Milbrant, young man employed by Ham Shoe company, and who up until a late hour last night was still reported missing. The sister of Milbrant, beautiful young lady. with ar-stained face and trembling voice. paced up and down in front of the building all of Wednesday night and yesterday. Occasionally she fal- tered in her step. then with grim de- termination written upon her coun- tenance, she strengthened up and walked on. her eyes always glued upon the spot where she knew her brother Lad work

 Thomas c. Burns, of Hopewell. N. Y., freight brakeman on the New York, New Haven & Hartford rail- road, received injuries at Sandy Hook station Saturday evening, which resulted in his death a1 few hours later.

 A Murderous Assault
 The assault made on Andrew Dake,. night watchnan for Raymond Broth ers' yard, at South NorwaIk, early Sunday morning, resembles very closely an attempt to murder. MT. Dake was going the ''rounds'' of the coal yard. When he was walking across the dock he was unexpectedly attacked from behind by an uniden- tified man. MT. Dake struggled with his assailant, who made desperate efforts to stab him. During the wrestling match the watchman suf- fered a. minor knife wound on his arm near the shoulder. The climax came when Dake was pushed off the wharf by the stranger into the icy waters of the harbor. The man who had attempted his life jumped into a waiting sIziff and disappeared in the darkness. This is the second time MT. Dake has narrowly missed seri- ous injury or death at the hands -nf midnight prowlers. Several weeks ago he was shot at.

German Newspaper Writer Tells Of
 Mountain Conditions

Berlin. Feb. 1o.-A description of conditions under which battles are being waged in the .Carpathians is contained in g despatch to the Isokal Anzeiger from it's correspondent in the mountains, who says:
 Deep snow lies in the Carpathians and troop movements are confined to the valley posses. The marches are slow and dep1oyment for batt1et is ex- tremeIy difficult. The Russians are pressing with very considerable forces against Dulka1 Pass and are continu- ally bringing up new troops there. On the rest of the long front the Russians are in exce1lently fortified positions, which are very hard to capture. Un- der these circumstances the operations of the allied AuStro- Hungarian and German troops are slowed up in spite of their greatest efforts. Successes which are achieved in turn by both sides have only local significance.
 tsSpeculations concerning far-seeing plans are idle. As long as natural ob- stacles prescribe the conduct of the war on both sides we must be sa.tis- fed if we succeed in forcing the Rus slams back step by step out of fhe m mountains, borders and simultaneously repel their attempts to break through i into Hungary.

 SUBTERRANEAN FLOOD

Nanaimo, B. C., Feb 1o.-Efforts to recover the bodies of 21 miners who lost their lives by drowning yesterday in the South Wellington mine of the Pacific Coast Coal Mines, Ltd, were begun here to-day. Big pumps by which it is hoped to clear the mine levels of water were to be installed It was not expected, however, that any of the bodies will be reached for several weeks, owing to the extensive workings in the mine.
 So rapid was the rush of water yes- terday when wall of the adjoining South Field Mine was shot through that few of the men had time to es- cape. Joseph Toy, manager of the mine. lost his life in an attempt to get all his men to the surface. He was struck by a wall of water and pre- sumably was crushed to death by it's force.

AMERICAN DOCTOR

London, Feb. 1o-The Nish cor respondent of the Near Hast states that during the Austrian occupation of Belgrade Dr. Ryan, head of the American Red Cross Mission, acted as mediator between the invaders and the inhabitants of the Serbian capt- tai.
 The correspondent writes as fol- lows:
 s.Dr. Ryan; am told, exerted him self in every possible way in the cause of humanity and rendered great service to Serbia during those trying days. The American Red Cross Mission is still carrying on it's good work in Belgrade, with. staff of two American and two Serbian doctors; twelve American lady nurses and twenty-four Serbian nurses. There are also in Belgrade five Ser bian hospitals, whtc during the Austrian occupation were placed un- der the protection of Dr. Ryan; and he assures me that none of them nor the American Red Cross Missio on was in any way interfered with by the Austrians."

SO admirably. Her sister, Mrs.

NEED OF A PARK.

Within the past month or in
other words since the organiza-
ton Of the Civic League in this
City. quite strong sentiment
exist in this community for a
public park, wherein our people
as well as strangers who visit
this community can set under the
shade trees and enjoy fresh
breezes such as they have in al
most every city in the United
States. Dame rumor Is response
BILE for the circulation of report
that an effort will soon be made
to get the City Commissioners to
purchase the beautiful and state
ly Weeks property, opposite the
Post Office, if satisfactory arrange
ments can be made and the own
ers do not place too high price
on it to bring it within reach of
the people. In as much as this
particular property is already a
Park, very little would remain
to be done to make it one of the
prettiest spots in the State. 1t
is ideally situated and within
reach Of all the residents of New
Iberia who would cafe to set I'M
der the lovely oaks and enjoy rest
and recreation. AS a suggestion
we would advise that an effort
be made to interest Carnegie to
make public library and read
ing room Of the building which
now stands upon the 81 e, with but
little remodelling of the stately
old structure. This City not only
needs play ground for the chill
dren but a free library as well
for the pleasure Of those Of our
people who care to take advant.
age Of a reading room wherein all
of the choice works can be found.
Now that property is as cheap
as it will ever get, our City Faith
ers could well accord TO issue GER
tificates of Indebtedness and take
over this beautiful Park which has
been made so by nature. AS the
place stands to-day with its di-
lapidated fences it is becoming an
eye sore instead Of a pride. such
as it used to be when it was oc-
cupied by the Weeks and Hall
and we believe arrange
ments could be made for it's pur-
chase at q reasonable sum. Sit
uated as it is facing both Main
Street and Bayou Teche, boat
houses could be arranged on the
Bayou front and athletic and
other games played on its banks
bv the children. This should be
brought to realization at an ear
ly date and the grounds conld be
identified with very little expend-
iture. It behooves the ladies of
the Civic League to get in touch
with the Commissioners at an
early date, and give the public
a Park that could be easily ar
ranged fos the benefit of all.
