A gentl'elman wh() is a large pro perty owner of St. Martinville, called on us this week antl im pressed on our mind, the great benetit the town would derive if we could secure the opening of the Lake Road, of which so much has been said during the last few years. Last year a committee of our citizens investigated the matter fully, and reported the approxinate cost of said road at between three and four thousand dollars, which was far beyond the amount that could be realized by the commit tee, and they were consequently forced to abandon the project. The gentleman suggests, as the only possible manner of ever se curing the opening of that road, is for the people of St. Martinville to vote a special tax for that purpose, with the help of the parish--he believes it would materialize in a short time. People are generally not favora bly impreesed with the idea of in creasing their taxes, but some times it is necessary to invest a little money to get rich and bene cial rewards. This matter is now open for dis cussion, and we invite those who ere interested to discuss it. Our suggestion is this, if the business of the sectin we seek is sufficiently large to justify an ex penditure of fu,4ir thousand dollars for the opening of a road of only a few miles,-- one or two, we he lisve-that the parish pay ihalf of the expenses and the town the other half, if the property owners are willing to tax tlhemnselves for that purlpose. This, we believe, is the only way we can sIcure the road.

We take tne following particu lars from a New Iberia special to the 'ime s-l)emocrat: Some time ago Miss Hankins came here from her home in Sturgeon, Mo., to visit her sister, Mrs. Aug. Pascal. The climate agreed with Miss Hankins, and she decided to rcmain until her health was resto red. Just to the rear of the Pas cal residence is situated the back lot to Mr. John Broussard's sales stabtle, on Julia street, were Mc ('lure was employed as keeper. ,For several weeks he had been seen prowling around in a myste rious manner in the adjoining pre mises, but being well known by the neighbors nothing was thought of the matter until last Sunday morning at 4 o'clock, when some one attempted to break into the Pascal residence, but was frigh toned off. McClure was suspect ed. Friday Miss Hankins was taken suddenly ill with nervous troubles, and Dr. Hebert was call ed in. There being no organic trouble, the physician suspected I that she had suffered some severe mental shock. Mrs. Pascal, by urgent and continual questioning, gleaned the fact that during the Sunday night previous a negro had gotten into Miss Hankins' r room and had attempted to cri r minally assault her, but when he e found he could not accomplish his purpose he choked her severe Sly and threatened to kill her if t she revealed his visit, and said - that he would come again, and if necessary kill her. As he walked away she recognized him as Mc Clure. The threat caused her to - keep the matter quiet but the s fear of his return and the great , mental strain was too much, and she told all. As soon as the facts became known it was decided to a lynch McClure, but the officers had already arrested him and had - him in jail. Last night an at - tempt was made to secure the jail - keys, but Jailer Pointes suspected n something, and woke up Sheriff - Cade and Deputy Romero, who came to the jail, but they not hav ing the keys the mob dispersed. To-day at noon an organized body of men carefully laid plans to fool e the officers. By some means they s secured duplicate keys, and while - officers were at dinner quietly s went to the jail, opened the cage, y and taking McClure from it, hung - him to the gallery railing. Some f one turned in an alarm of fire, say ing the jail was burning. This F brought the officers to the jail, r where they were overpowered un til the vengeance of the people , was complete. They were too late to save the negro. A Sensation in the Senate. Senator German, of Maryland, r made a sensational speech in the r senate Monday, having for his - subject the letter President Cleve l- and wrote to Chairman Wilson of - the House ways and means com m nittee, in which the senate was - pretty severely censured. SSenator Gormnan arraigned the i President Secretary Carlisle, and - usedl very plain language concern I ing these high officials. f -Mr. J. B. Ferran is putting a -move on himself. He is building Ia small store next to his dry-goods t store, which he will stock with - harlwaro when completed. He is - also Iuilding a large storehouse Sron the lproperty hie recently pur Slchasedl, ('orner Main street and . I ailroal Aveinue. and will soon I 'l,'n a grain and furniture store therein. YOU !

Yours or business, -L. . GARDEEMFAL,4' TIlE CHEIl:Al'EST STORE IN TOWNS THE PUBLIC ROADS. It seems that by this time the police jury ought to be convinced that the present system of work. ing the public roads is a falce- that under that system they can f never accomplish any good result. I After reading and studying for a while the necessity and import ance of good roads to any commu nity, and the methods of working public roads, we have come to the conclusion, that the only way pos sible to secure the construction and maintainance of good roads, is by oontracting with a person whose business it will be to work the roads with improved machi nery at so much a mile. Let the police jury investigate this plan and figure on the proba ble cdkt of this system, they will find that it will not cost a large sum of money per mile, and when a road is once made by machine work, it will last a long time, and the maintenance thereafter will be light. We know of several parishes who have adopted this system of working their public roads with satisfactory results. We would suggest that the parish experi ment on the road between St. Martinville and Breaux Bridge. A Cure for Mad Dog Bites. Mr. G. F. W. Richter, of Cali fornia says: "I will not take my often approved remedy to cure the bite of mad dogs to the grave with me, but publish it for all. It is the last service I can do for man kind. 'Take warm vinegar, wash the lacerated part, dry it, then drop muriatic acid in the wound; it will destroy the poison and make it harmless. This is less painful than burning or cutting a piece out. Vinegar enough can be hea ted in a tin cup over a lamp im mediately; the sooner the better. I T IS NOT what we say but what Hood's Sarsaparilladoes that tells the story of its merit. When in need of med icine remember HOOD'S CURES President Cleveland's ringing letter urging the House not to surrender the principles of the Democratic party, will revive the flagging spirits of Democrats all over the country, and should the tariff bill fail to pass, which is now (uitoe prol,alle, they will again cheerfully do battle for the cause of tariff reform. It has been betrayed in the Senate, but it is Isure to triumlph in the end in spite of treac'hery and selfishness. -State. $soo RKeward, Sioo.
