4 Narrow Escape.

DR.. Dawson T. Martin of this city
narrowly escaped being killed yes
terday. He was on his way to
Churchville to answer a call. When
he reached the railroad crossing at
St. Patrick street, he noticed loco
motive near by which had stopped
and believing that the coast was
clear drove across the track. The
engine struck the automobile and
dragged it several feet before it
could be stopped. The car was
only slightly damaged. This par
ticular crossing is an exceedingly
dangerous one. The track is laid
very near the main track embank-
ment, and persona driving towards
Chufc!}viIle must pass under the
main track and cannot see a loco
motive or train on the side track
until they have emerged on the
other "Ede and are practically on
the said track. There is considerable
traffic at this place and the Texas
and Pacific railway should be made
to keep flagman there at all times
to warn the people of approaching
trains OF engines.

in their service Mr.. and Mrs. William

are the caretakers Of the valuable
property. They have been for more
than twenty-five years in the employ
ment of the Miles family.
One real veteran, not one who is
called 50 because he involuntarily
served in the late war for twelve
months and is now clamoring for a
bonus as a reward for his patriotism,
but one who has furnished water

years. He is a veteran because of
his long and faithful service, render
ed the railroad company. Now, at
the age of 81, in very poor health,
feeble and without the means to re-
tire he continues to work, although
not physically fit to do so, SO as to
be able to exist. If the policy and
rules of the railroad company is to

served them at an average Of $50 per

ion success in Donaldsonville;
ypasmodic raids will not do it. Keep

St. Vincent Institute Notes.
By Rosalie Marsala.

Owing to the restraints of the len
ten season, the young ladies of the
institute are devoting more time and
attention to their studies and are
reaping a large harvest of honors IN
the scholastic field. Several ap-
peared at school during the past
week, wearing dresses made by
themselves in the sewing class. The
pupils of the sixth and seventh grades
were initiated into the art Of hand
ling the needle last Wednesday and
are quite enthusiastic over the pros
pect of competing with the high
school girls. As to the culinary de-
partment, the girls are simply in
rapture over the fact that they. have
learned to cook. Chemistry is in
deed an interesting subject, by, the
end Of the term the seniors and Ju-
t,iors will be able to test and detect
the different chemicals. All things
considered, there is no evidence OF

The several men who were
caught in the raid made by prohibi-
ton officers and Sheriff. George H. Ri
chard, of thia parish, Chief Deputy
Sheriff Louis Leblanc and the city
police Saturday before last, ,~were ar

George Landry, Sam Glorioso, Rocco

pisi, B. Mistretta, NJ. Randazzo,
Frank Gendusa and Paul Fontana.
All pleaded guilty with the exception

ced to pay a fine of $500, the maxi
mum under the law, and to serve
ten days in jail, and in default Of
the payment of the fine to serve an
additional sixty days. Paul Fontana
pleaded not guilty and his case was
fixed for trial March II.
Judge Leblanc in passing SEN
tence told the defendants that each
had been warned about the selling
of liquor and that as a punishment
to themselves as we'll as a warning
to others, he was compelled to I'M
pose the maximum fine and give the
minimum prison term under the state
prohibition act.
The action of Judge Leblanc has
been the subject Of much favorable
comment at the hands of all classes
of people who believe in upholdlng
the law, and in supprea5ing traffic
in the dangerous and poisonous con-
coctions which have been peddled out
under various namei for beverage
purposes.
Seven of the men convicted paid
their fines and We're paroled Monday
evening by Judge LEBLANC, after
serving five hours behind the bars.

serve the Jail term. On the follow
ing day, however they changed ther
minds, paid their fines and were also
paroled. The judge warned the men
that if they were ever brought. be-
fore him again charged with a &Rmi-
lar offense, the penalty would be
$1,000 fine and one year in Jail.
When the case Of Paul Fontana,
the other accused, was called for
trial yesterday morning, a continu-
ance was asked on the ground that
his attorney, George Gullatta, is en-
gagged in the defense Of the six ltal-
ians on trial at Amite City. The case
was therefore postponed to the next
term of court.

POWER SERVICE CURTAILED
BECAUSE OF LONG DROUGHT

Spartanburg S. c., Sept. 19-Be-
cause of the long continued drought

necessary for the South Carolina

to curtail the service given by it to
cotton gins and cotton oil mills in
it's territory. 1t is said by officials
of the, company. however that this
reduction of service would probably
be of short duration as a heavy rain
or an increase in coal deliveries
would relieve the situation.
