AUTO WoRsTED IN COLLISION.
Terrific Smash-up Endangers Lives of
Several Persons.

A Ford automobile owned by o.
Neil Aucoin and Ernest Da1feres, of
this city, and operated in the livery
service with Mr.. Aucoin as chauf-
feur, collided with horse and buggy
driven by Mr.. Waggenspack, of upper
Ascension, at about II o'clock last
Sunday night, and the fact that no
one was killed in the smash-up is lit
tie short of miraculous. The acct
dent occurred ON the river road at a
point in front Of the residence on
McManor plantation, three miles
above Donaldsonville, while both con-
veyances were proceeding in the same
direction. The automobile contained
five passengers, Messrs. Alphonse
Lirette, Lawrence Casso, sPat" and
Andrew Tearney and Joseph M.
Belle, who were en- route to the
dance at Germania Park after hav-
ing attended the Smoke Bend fair.
Mr.. Waggenspack NSss alone in his
buggy and was on his way home.
Both vehicles were badly damaged,
but the Ford had the worst Of the
encounter and was almost completely
wrecked. Three of the wheels were
demolished, the wind shield shatter-
ed, the top crushed in and the fend-
ers battered beyond repair.
When the crash came the machine
wheeled around and then turned COM
pletely over, pinning all of the oc-
cupants beneath it, but by remark
able piece of luck none of them was
killed or even seriously injured, al
though all sustained painful bruises
and contusions, and one or two were
cut by flying glass. They were able
to extricate themselves from the
wreck, and were patched up at a
local drug store upon their return to
Donaldsonville.
The top of the buggy was torn
from the running gear and thrown
some feet away, but the lone occu-
pant of the vehicle, although dashed
to the ground with great force and
temporarily dazed, was not hurt at
all and made his way home unassist-
ed. The horse also escaped injury.

x. OF c. FESTIVAL.
Committees Busy ON Elaborate Plans
for Big Entertainment.

Preparations are well under way
for the big festival to be given By
the ladies of Donaldsonville for the
benefit of Ascension Council No
1887, Knights Of Columbus, Satur.
day, Sunday and Monday, Sept. II
IL and Is.
Committees of ladies have been
named to take charge of the various
departments of the festival and are
actively at work arranging the de-
tails connected with their respective
departments; while soliciting commit
tees, also consisting Of ladies, have
been appointed and assigned to diff
ferent territories.
Several of the local fraternal or
CARNATIONS, moved by a spirit of good
will toward Ascension Council, have
very generously agreed to partici-
pate in the big festival and assist in
making it a success. Among the or
CARNATIONS which will conduct booths
are the following: Donaldsonville
Lodge No. 1853, B. P. O. Elks; Mo-
hawk Tribe No. 33, Improved Order
of Red Men; Olive Camp No. 10,
Woodmen of the World, and Napanee
Council No. II, Degree of Pocahon-
tas. Other local organizations have
promised to cooperate and assist in
every way possible to make the fes-
tival a success.
In addition to the booths, which
will be numerous and varied, there
will be long list of attractive fea-
lures, not heretofore seen at festivals
and fairs in Donaldsonville, including
a tug-of-war, foot races, barrel races
for boys, potato races for girls, two
bands of music, and other amuse-
ments for young and old,
Many charming young ladies have
volunteered their assistance, and first
class service and attention is prom
ised all who take dinner or supper at
the festival.
A large number of invitations
have been sent to members of the or
der throughout the surrounding caun-
try, and the responses already re-
ceived indicate that there will be a
large attendance of knights with their
families and friends.
Several of the state officers of the
organization have signified their in
tention to honor the festival with
their presence.
The Texas & Pacific Railway will
run an excursion from New Orleans
ON Sunday, Sept. II, which is ex-
pected to bring to Donaldsonville be-
tween 400 and 500 people. Special
reduced rates will be given by the
railroads from other points.
The festival is being extensively
advertised, and the present indiea-
tons are that it will attract a large
number of visitors from the sur
rounding country.
There will be music, games and at
fractions galore, and a good time is
promised everybody.
The officers and members Of As
cension Council take occasion,
through the columns of The Chief,
to tender a cordial invitation to the
people of Donaldsonville and Ascen-
sion and neighboring parishes, to at
tend the big festival and lend a help
ing hand toward making it a success.
They also respectfully urge and re-
quest the good people of this COM
munity to do everything in their pow
err to make the stay of the visitors to
Donaldsonville pleasant and agree
able, to the end that the far-famed
hospitality of our city might be fully
maintained.
