Owing to the recent developments
in the foreign relations of the United
States, the proposed visit of the
United States torpedo destroyer
Flusser to Donaldsonville during the
Civic Leagues big spring festival has
been called off. The vessel is engag-
ed in target practice off Key West,
and the local committee has been IN
formed by the naval authorities that
she will not be able to come to Dom
aldsonville as originally planned.
While the absence of the torpedo
destroyer and the Louisiana Naval
Militia will deprive the festival Of che

gram as finally arranged is an un-
usually attractive one, including the
following events;
Saturday Baseball game between
S. j. G. /. and D. H. s.; decorated
toy parade; folk dances.
Sunday Burlesgue baseball game,
EllSs VS.. Red Men; cornation of May
queen May pole dances; toy parade.

scheduled for Saturday afternoon on
II, will be repeated tomorrow after
noon, so as to enable a large num-
Der Of spectators to witness the beau
tiful sight.
Everything is III readiness for the
big fete, and when the doors are
thrown open this afternoon gala
scene will greet the spectators.
There will be jitney dances in the
open-air pavilion day and night on
both days, and numerous other att
fractions and diversions, so that no
one can fail to have a rafting good
time.
The May queen contest will be de-
cided at 10 O'Clock tonight, when the
final count of the votes will be made
and the result announced. The.
standing of the contestants last night

Cordial Welcome to New PreIate.

The members of Ascension Council,
Knights of Columbus, rendered re-
ception and supper Thursday night to
Rev. G. NJ. Chambon, the new rector
of the Catholic church, and the affair
was largely attended and proved ex-
remely delightful in every respect.
The menu consisted of turtle soup,
baked sheephead with mashed po-
tatoes, chicken sauce piquante with
boiled rice, and potato salad, and it
need only be said that the delee-
table dishes were prepared by John
Schaf, chef par excellence, to indi-
cate that the feast was truly an
Epicurean one. Expressions of well
come and good wishes to Father
Chalnbon We're the theme of numer-
Gus toasts.

/ MANIAC ATTEMPTS MURDER.
Edward Mollere, Suddenly Insane,
Attacks Wife with Axe.

Edward MolIere, 27 years old, a
white laborer on S. Prejean's Half
Way plantation in upper Assumption
parish, about five miles below Donald
sonvilie, became suddenly insane
Monday morning and attacked his
wife with an axe, inflicting three fear
full wounds in the woman s head. Two
Of the blows found lodgment above
the forehead, near the center of the
skull, and the third penetrated the
temple. The axe had a very keen
blade, which had evidently just been
sharpened, and in the hands Of the
infuriated maniac It became a fearful
weapon.
MolIere did not come home until a
late hour Sunday night and his WI fe
who was alone in the house with their
seven-month-old boy. went to the
home of a neighbor to spend the night.
Her husband came after her at about
4 o'clock next morning, the murder
Gus attack occurring as soon as she
stepped out Of the door.
After striking down his wife, Mol
lere rushed to the st. Jules Catholic
chapel nearby and proceeded to de-
mo1ish the front steps Of the struc-
ture with his axe With his back
against the front door Of the chapel
he defed arrest and threatened to
kill the first man who came after him.
Constable Lawrence Dominique was
hastily summoned. and when he ar
rived and covered MolIere with a
double barreled shotgun, the maniac
Gained down and permitted himself to
be taken into custody. He was
placed in jail at NapoleonvilIe.
Mollere had given evidences Of IN
sanity on previous occasions, and only
d week before ran out into the fields
and acted like d wild man.
Although fearfully injured. Mrs
sMo1lere is still alive and has chance
for recovery.
