They paid a bonus of $2oo to be in the telephone circuit and now they are in communication with all points. Who should walk in and surprise us but our old friend E. Rice, the telegraph opera tor at Rayne. One of Rice's fads, whenever he goes away from home is to always pick up something to reminr.d him of his trip. This time he had a pet flying squirrel, Sheriff Broussard returned Saturday from Houston, Texas, having in custody ex-justice of the peace Paul Martin, who held that office in Scott in i891, and absconded about that time with money entrusted to his keeping.

Mr. f Rivers, we are happy to say, is much pleased I with our country and people. I Marshal Bradley had an impromptn parade last Sunday. He was escorting two tourists outside the limits of town. As he passed the depot some one very appropriately speeded the parting guests by whistling the soul-stirring refrain: "when I'm gone you will miss me." Emile Girard, the young railroad man, who was so severely wounded by the caboose run ning over him some days ago has been re moved to his home in New Iberia, where, it is thought, home influence, will tend to hasten his recovery. Every one feels the absolute necessity of a street sprinkler. The town of Lafayette should have a good fire company. We suggest the organization if a I flfk and Ladder company, and be sides the truck, add a few Babcocks. Then we could fight a fire to some advantage. Miss Stella Trahan the lovely and accom plished daughter of Dr. J. D. Trahan, after a pleasant stay in New Orleans extending three months has returned home much to the delight of her numerous friends. t Mr. Leonard Guidry, a thriving farmer t living about six uniles from Lafayette, killed a hog last week, weight 583 pounds dres sed, and still we find some farmers buying S"store pork."

Capt. Anatole LeBlanc, a veteran Missis sippi river and tributaries pilot, and a whilom steamboat chum of The Gazette's senior,is in is Lafayette spending sonime days with his broth e cr, Ozcme lelilanc.

(Of course he called at The Gazette office, and let us tell you when an ex-keeper of the records andl a star-gazer meet the past looms up very vividly. Mr. I. N. Satterfield, the road contractor, is working on and grading the public road Sleading from Lafayette to Carencro, and has reached, in his work,Ernest Bernard's place. Mr. Satterfield says that this is the prelimi g nary work, and he will go over the road again r- putting on the finishing touches, and when . completed it will be in such c3ndition that n noonewill question the work being thoroughly e done. There was a prize fight at the Lafayette arena last Sunday between two negroes, s, Robert Aime and George Jefferson, resulting a in a victory for Aime in four rounds. A s, match is about being made between Aime and a a negro from Morgan City for a large purse. 1 Sheriff David Rees, of St. Martin parish, passed through Lafayette Sunday, on hisway to Mermentau, La., to institute a search for SPaul Cormier, one of the negroes thought to Sbc implicated in the murder of the Robertson r ladies, for which Louis Mitchel was hung in P St. Martinsville a few days ago. Cormier is is reported to be in hiding in that neighborhood. The grand ball soon to be given for the benefit of the High School fund promises to at be a roussing success in every particular. Ut The gentlemen who have all along devoted themselves to this object are determined that it shall be the equal if it does not surpass in in all its details anything of the kind here tofore given in Lafayette, at Mr. M. 8. Alexander, whose application for tofolce of the railway mail service, rt il th division, was, last week, filed by Sena an tor Caffery, at the post-office department, Y, has for the last four years filled the position y of postal clerk between Lafayette and Che t, neyville. Mr. Alexander has made for him self a splendid record in that capacity. Look out for Otto's street parade, headed ti by s brass band, to-day, • Assistant Marshal J. D. Veazey, Wednes day evening and Thursday morning killed twentyleigat vagrant dogs. A pretty good a record Mr. D. lonnemaison, the efficient post- 5 master of our growing sister town, Youngs- 11 ville, was in town Thursday, and paid The f, Gasette a visit. it Moss Brothers & Co. have on exhibition in frOgt of their store a remarkable specimen of b the findy tribe captured by a fisherman in Lake Simonette. The head of this curious cl animal cannot be distinguished from that of the domestic cat, and likewise the caudal ap pendage of this inhabitant of the water bears t such strong resemblance to the tail of the common cat as to make it almost impossible to distinguish one from the other. Go and see it. The Gazette has been noticing some im provements going on in the corner building p next to Mrs. Cornay's and upon inquiry ascertained that the lady will shortly open an ice cream parlor, where during the season, will be found not only ice cream, but soda water, lemonades, sherbets, cakes, and all that pertains to a confectionery parlor. The Gazette feels confident that her venture will b prove successful. The commissioners appointed by the seve- c ral Police Juries for the assessments of rail- * roads, telegraph and telephones, for the s parishes of Avoyelles, Acadia, Assumption, I Calcasieu, Ibetri, Jefferson, Lafayette, La fourche, Rapides, St. Landry, St. Charles, c St. Mary, St. Martin and Terrebone will I meet at Lafayette, Lafayette parish, on t Friday, April as, 1893, for the purpose of assessing the tracks of the railroads known as Morgan's Louisiana and Texas, Louisiana Western and Morgan's branch road, running from Lafayette to Alexandria, and all tele graph and telephone lines running through their respective parishes. Dilsciplhe Saves Life. We unhesitatingly assert that railroad men are the best disciplined men on earth; and this fact was illustrated at the depot one night this week. When the night yardmen were "kicking" a car in a side track, Alcide Mouton was giving the signals, Ben Donold was at the throttle, and Swinddler was to pull the coupling pin. The signal for the engineer to come back fast was given, and when under full headway, the signal to pull the pin was given, and had been obeyed, when the watchful eye of Mouton caught sight of three men crossing the track in a two-horse surry. As quick as thought he signaled for the pin to be replaced, which was as quickly done, and in time to catch the conpling; and like a flash of lightning the red light sent its message to the engineer to stop quick, when, like a thought, went the reverse lever; out went the sand on the track, and in the effort to change her direction, the old yard engine shot her wheels around r like a spinning wheel, while she rocked like a monster ship in a storm; and just in time I for the young men to clear the track; and for a time, three mothers' hearts were spared that grief which only a mother 1 knows how to feel when hcreft of a child. A Fatal Accident. Information reaches The Gazette that a sadly deplored accident happened to the wife s of Mrs. Jules Servatte, in I )usou, some nights - since. It appeared that Mrs. Ssrvatte had - placed a lighted lamp near her bed, and by some unaccountable means the lamp was over - turned, and the flames therefrom ignited her r clothes, and burning her very severely. The unfortunate lady as soon as she perceived her clothes on fire, caught a quilt and enveloped herself in it, but too late to escape serious in jurry. Although given the best attention known to medical skill, the lady lingered un til Wednesday, when death ended her suffer , ngs. In his great misfortune and bereave ment Mr. Servatte has deep felt sympathy of all. The B. M. A. A fairly attended meeting of the Business r Men's Association was held Wednesday night, with Mi. C. O. Mouton in the chair, and c Secretary A. C. Ordway at his desk. e The reading of the minutes of the previous meeting was depensed with. Upon motion made and carried it was decided to have printed on the obverse side of the English circular letter, the same in French, for general circulation throughout the parish. Upon further motion a committee was ap pointed composed of Messrs. Crow Girard, A. C. Ordway, Felix Demanade, E. Constan tin, Dr. F. S. Mudd, Wmn. Campbcll, Julian sIouton and C. O. Mouton as a reception conunittee to receive Mlr. l.eslie and party of capitalists who are expected in Iafayette at an early day. d The President was authorized to appoint a Scommittee of five to confer with a similar committeee from Ahbbeville, to devise the best means to forward the acceptance of the n tax. n After transacting some minor business the it meeting adjourned. Around the Depot. e No. 5 i6 of the Tap turns her wheels under the masterly touch of John Tierney, Esq., or Sas the boys call him "Our Jack." While the Smodest Thomas Rogers gracefully handlles d the shovel. Mr. Robert Tanner holds the silken cords over the No., 520 while Pat Defaise with the s, skill of an artist makes her warm. y The efficient yard master at this place, Mr. )r Henry Church, left Wednesday for itouston t on a business trip. n Brother L. W. Gregory, as he is affec in tionately called by the boys, makes No. 6r5 is hum while Mr. August Metre raises the . wild. Mr. Charles Thompson of the L. WV. Rail road is presiding over Engine No., 724, while to Tom Ballard the gentlemanly fireman, makes things hot. While working in his garden, Mr. Jacob Barker, firemen on the switch engine, was quite painfully bitten by a snake, and we are e happy to note that no ill results followed. A new cure for jaundice. We are in' an formed by a brakeman on L. W. railroad that one of his brother brakemen on the C' Morgan had a very severe spell of jaundice a and after trying all the doctors in town with it, out any benefit was called on by an old an colord M. D., who looked at his tongue Sand prescribed three buckets of white sand which, the brakeman ate and was cured. - In company with yard master, Henry Church, we paid a visit to the round house this week, where we- -aih. :,pleaure of a meeting some of the boys. MvIr. Johnnie C Whelan handles No. 542 with Sidney Vallette 0 fireman; John Donner, htndsotlm and grace- t, ful like his papa, runs the No. 546, with the tl no less gallant Walter Ryan ficeman; Mr. I Thomas Finnegan pulls the throttle on No. r 553 with Peter McG fireman. It was on this perfection of mech that we spent a few happy moments t h ld us away back into the past, when a sotherf's ear listened C for the signal whistle that told her "your h boys are all right." We also had the pleasure of meeting ma- s chinist Pat Tierney, Esq. and Mr. Charles " Higgins, sad as CharlieIs a Virginian we had o to shake hands with hinm twice. c Carencrs News. Editor Lafayttle Gasette : The time is coming, when. our Police Jury, i or the proper authorities will realize that e public roads are highways, and not canals nto which "every Tom, Dick and Harry'' can drain their fields pastures, or plantations. ti When we reach that period, laws will be enacted, and regulations established, that will make it an easy matter to grade and maintain our roads in proper shalPL. Through constant c wear and tear, the washing of the rain, and p blowing of the wind, mest of the public high- ' ways are several feet bekis the general level of the country througs .ch they pass; now as long as the owners pTproppCrty bordering t such roads are perqrtid ~-t cut large drains leading into them, just so long will we have impassable roads; and no road overseer, nor c cantractor, will be able tl keep them in shape. I There surely must be somne means whereby s this injurious custom could be stopped, and some remedial plan afforied. Mr. Stokes,one of Sunset's leading business I men, was in Carencro last Saturday. It is remarked that "Captain" Collier, the well known detective of Lafayette, has been summoned to Chicago to enter the secret ser vice of that city. Ile wjll be accompanied by I his secretary, Mr. Fritz Pefferkorn, the "Camelia fiend." Baby Parrott will look after the interests of the home office during their absence. Mayor Courtney has issued his proclama tion announcing an election for inunicipa officers for the corporation of Carencro to be held on May I. Mr. Geo. E. Brown, is having his large store building thoroughly repaired and painted. The front is to be completely changed, and two large show windows will mprove its appearance. When the carpen ters and painters have fitiished their work, it will be one of our most attractive stores. Mr. WVm. Cantine, of New Iberia, is here, having contracts for the building of serveral wind-mills in the immediate vicinity of town. Mr. Edwin Estilette has opened a barber shop in the building adjoining Mr. A. Breaux's Saloon. Easter is coming, when the "small boys" with the varic-colored eggs will be in his glory. In the last issue of the Iake Charles Echo, your correspondent sees that our old friend and former ;fellow townsman, Mr. G. Schmulen,is meeting with success-in that city. In addition to a merchandise and millinery establishment, he will conduct a general commission busines.' .... ... --. Carencro needs a good butcher shop, where the purchaser can gct the meat that suits him and for which he is willing to pay. The present co-operative butchery plan, that has been in existence in this section for many )years, has lived out its uscfulnea:;s. It i.s a puculiar method, in lien if which, any thing would be an inmprovemlcnt. Our popular and genial parish Sutpt. of Pul: lie Schools, Mr. It. E. Toll, went to Lafa yette last Saturday to pay the teachers. Alr. Chas. I.usted, and Mtr. I)uverny, the "wide-awake" representative of A. Mackie, were in to-.n last Saturday, \Ve regret not having been on hand to entertain them. ToTrtnra Vs,.RnIs. Royville Items. Editor Lafayette GCaette." The public school situated here is in a flourishing condition, with chilren of both sexes attending. The school is in charge of Prof. \Vebb, who regards education as one of his hobbies, and is untiring in his efforts to instill into the minds of his pupils the most useful and strictest principles of virtue, as well as knowledge of a practical education. Messrs. B. P. Landry and others have re turned from the sea-coast where they had been sojourning for the past two weeks. _Mr. Landry reports having had an excellent time, with an abundance of fish, oysters, and game. Chenier Lacroix, Chenicre-au-Tigre, sand other places were visited. The base-ball craze that has struck New SOrleans has reached Riyville and our Scrack nine are in the "swim." The captain of the club Mr. P. R. I oy would like to hear a from : ny club in the perish. Among the visitors tdot.afayette, this week, from our village, we rnte: Mrs. Scranton and daughter, Ruby; lIisrs. Lucien Bmrous sard, R. O. Young, ydB. Roy, and J. R lDomengeaux. ini Hon. O. Cade was qp~ied to New Iberia Saturday on important- business. Our town was crowded with strangers this week, amongst the number we met DI)octors rR. J. and F. F. Young, of Abbeville, Messrs. e Triay, Fontenot and Dr.- F. R. Tolson, of s lafayette, J. A. Roy, J. -M. Olivi , E. Labbe, Dr. Latiolais, and the Billaud brothers, from s Broussardville. e Happy "Joe" Leblanc is now sporting a new buggy, and "took in" lake Simonette in grand style last Sunday. Prof. Latiolais, of Broussard was in town Monday and called on "ye scribe." Dr. and Mrs. Duplex visited Villicrville 5 this week. e One of our friends was seen buggy riding Sunday, and with him (from the corner of our I- eye) we caught a glimlpse of his best girl. e That's right "Dilon." Keep the ball a-rol ts ling, and vindicate the "Old Dame's" ru mor. b Your correspondent was informed that a us telephone line would be the next move made a by our citizens, which it is intended shall be built at an early date, thus placing Royville V in direct commumncation with the other towns. d CHEROiKEtE. :e Broussardvillle Drizz lings. d Editor Lafayic Gaztte , e The operation performed last Saturday on d Mr. Sevene Boudreaux's leg proved quite successful. Mr. Boudreaux had been suf y fering for more than tweenty years with a s seemingly incurable sore. ~Some two months ago he went to the Cltatity Hospital in New Orleans to undergo treatment, but failed to obtain a satisfactory one. On his return, Drs. Trahan, Scranton and Latiolais decided to attempt an operation, and it resulted in the cutting of his leg, saving the knee. Mr. Boudreaux is doing well, and is expected to 1 recover shortly from the severe operation. The sinking of the artesian well at Mr. Billaud's sugar mill was begun last Monday. Ninety feet were bored the first day. Constable George Malagarie left for New Orleans Sunday. George sent in three mes sengers in the shape of horses to announc. his prompt return. A goodly number fjom our little town went to witness the hanging of Louis Michel, in St. Martinville last Friday. None of the town boys are to be seen around on Sunday. All out calling on their counsins or more distant relatives. Get your wedding cards in shape, Mr. Editor. A progressive euchre game was played at Mrs. J. A. Roys's last evening by Misses Nellie Bailey, Ilaydee Trahan, l.ella Nick erson, and Messrs. Ed. L. Estorge, Henry Fournet, J. M. and I.. P. Olivier. Mr. J. M. Olivier carried .the honors of the game. Our worthy agent, Mr. Gardemal, tells us that business is so dull that he has any amount of spare time. The opening of the season; the grandest occasion of the year ! ! Easter Sunday cele bration ! ! ! Fall in ranks, boys ! Grand so cial gathering, balloon ascension, torch light procession, series of tableaux, all to conclude with a dance at St. Julien's Hall. A price to be awarded to the best dancer and part ner. Be sure to give your best girl a chance to win, don't be too heavy. Lots of fun to tliise who know how! Two or three bands will be in attendance to furnish dancing and "-operatic music." Fail not to attend. Why should not the High School theatri cal company give our town a trial, such a laudable purpose would surely meet wiflth success. DUBARDI EU. The Gazette congratulates its yonng friend L. P. Bagarry on his marriage to Miss Afa mie Boas, which happy event occurred in New Iberia last Thursday.
