There was some talk a couple of weeks on
since that some of our enterprising nmr- ini
chants contemplated the digging of wells in his
front of their premises, and using a force the

failed to materialize, but The Gazette hopes
that they will yet see their way clear to carry Fn
out their purpose. It is dollars to dough

At the last municipal election there was a wil
tie vote returned between Me.srs. Alfred A. L
Bonnet, James Hannen and A.M. Martin. abi
To decide this tie an election was called for tha
last Monday. Mr. Hannen, by published est
card refused to be considered a candidate, up
and Mr. Alfred A. Bonnet, also, by a pub- stil
lished card, declined to take part stating that in I
he considered he had been fairly elected tt as
the previous election, so the field was left o
entirely to Mr. Martin, insofar as announced pri
candidates were concerned, and Mr. Martin for
received £38 votes, the same number as at
the first election, and James Hannen I, L. hes
Doucet I, Pierre Dugas I for mayor, and all
a, scattering, making a total of r142 votes Ma
cast. The day passed quietly, although, we
understand, that considerable electioneering
had been done to bring out a big vote.

The New Council. a
The time is near at hand when the mem- A
hers of the new Council will convene to Jn
take charge of the government of the town
of Lafayette. In the simple discharge of TI
their public duties will lie much that will cepI
tend- to the advancement of the material in- JuI
terests of the town. That they have at
heart the welfare of their town we have no U;
leff reason, as yet, to doubt. Lafayette has a
go bright future before her-she is now on the
ge- upward grade, and future acts of the Coun
ich cil can be made a potent factor in her pros
vill perity, if rightly directed. %

members will "hew to the line" of a busi

ug against any one."
Election Contest.
ad
The Gazette is reliably informed that it is
the intention of the parties in interest to in
stitute a contest for the seats of some of the
members elected at the last election. It is
alleged that a sufficient number of votes cast
a- at that 'election, for these sitting members,
will be proved illegal, and, which thrown
r, out, would tend to reverse the figures on
ro the face of the returns, thereby giving a
majority, and the seats, to those contesting.
r- The Gazette ha. no knowledge of the
te, proof that will be adduced; the claim,
2, however, we understand, is made that strong
ng evidence will be produced to sustain the
ge allegations that it is purposed to advance. If so F
or the people would, no doubt, be glad to have
all the facts brought out, and see the matter 1
,e probed to the bottom. S

manage to shirk their duties. Owing to the

Royville Items, S
From Our Regular Correspondent.
A great number of our sports witnessed the
match game of base ball Sunday between
the ,"Invincibles" of Royville and the
"Braves" of Simonville. The score stood 9 H
to 13 in favor of the "Braves. Had it not
been for the accidents happening to h
two members of the Royville nine P
we think that the result of the game would Ji
have been different. Both teams are to
again try conclusions in t5 days, to decide b,
t the championship of this side of Vermilion P
1 Bayou. Sheriff Ike Broussard and Messrs.
Sam Plonsky, E. and R. Pellerin, A. J.
Theall, A. Otto, Henry Judice and happy
Bill Graser, of Lafayette, were in atten,'ance
and seemed to highly enjoy the game.
Elaborate preparations are being made to
receive His Grace, Archbishop Janssens, of
New Orleans, on June 2. We are informed
that a great number of persons will be con
firmed, as it has been several years since
last an archbishop was in Royville.
Since The Gazette, in its researches, has
discovered that Lafayette owns two more
camphor trees, we may as well mention that
our town also owns one. Mrs. Scranton is
the possessor of a very fine tree, which is
quite au adornment to her alrefdy lovely,
and beautiful flower garden.
