Dan DeBlanc, the affable railroad Sagent in St. Martinsville was in La fayette Saturday to consult Fred Mouton on estimates for a comtem plated building of a residence in his town. While in town Dan gave The Gazette a call. Bishop Durier, of Natchitoches, Father Langlois, of St. Martinsville, and Father Forge, of this town, left Thursday afternoon for San Fran cisco. They will visit Chicago and other cities during their trip. The Gazette received* a pleasant visit from its young friend J. R. Domengeaux, of Royville. He has just passed a successful examination before the Board of Pharmacy at New Orleans, coming out first out of a class of 17. The Gazette con gratulates heartily its young friend. The Southern Pacific railroad has laid off, within the past fewdays, all their carpenter gangs, at this point, and several of the crews. It is an unusual thing to lay off any one at this time of the year, and the boys arrt unaware whether their being laid off-is due to the financial crisis. However, as the crops wvill soon be moving, it is to be hoped that they will all be re-employed soon. Mr. B2 ). Collins, of Algiers, brother of Mrs. WV. E. Bowen, is in Iafayette. Mr. Collins is a marine engineer on the Macheca line, ply ing between New Orleans and Cen tral American pIorts. Some two weeks ago his ship was rei'orted lost, and he had been given up as dead, consequently his safe return spread joy and gladdened the hearts of his relatives and many friends in Algiers and Lafayette. One J. M. Pipes, a pocket edition bf the lamented Ordway, left Breaux Bridge in a somewhat mysterioris manner, says the Valley of the Teche. Pipes is a jeweler and de parted takingwith him some watches 1 etc., belonging to some of the town 1 people, which had been left.with him for repairs. The paper don't say whether he carried away a Colt * -evolvrr borrowed. froin a 'friend.'? i' Something itnique in the way of an entertainment will be given on the Sth of September next 'in St. Martinsville. • It is a mock trial wherein all the court officers are ladies, and is intended as a satire on Woman's Rilhts. The perform tnce "W tt~ iplace at the court house, and will be in "strict com pliance with the rigid rules of court procedure"' It will be a novelty well worth seeing. G. R. Wilson, of Houston, Texas, representing the old firm of P. C. 'tomson & Co., Philadelphia, Penn., has been in our city selling the fa mous Hoe Cake Soap. A laundry soap that softens hard water, and washes the clothes whiter, cleaner and in one-third the time required when using yellow soaps. It is said to please every, one. Give Hoe Cake a trial and you will use no other laundry soap. Call on your grocer for it. The merchants we understand will have it on sale in twenty days. See Milller & Nickel for a picture of your home. 1-x3. Attempted Murder and Robbery. A bold robbery was committed at Iowa Junction, sixty miles west of this point. Under the pretext that#a white man had been run over, Mr. O'Connell, the agent at that sta tion, was enticed a short way out by a negro and murderously assaulted probably fatally. The negro re turned to the depot and at the muzzle of a pistol compelled Mrs. Connell to keep quiet. The depot was then robbed. As the station is an isolated one Mrs. O'Connell was compelled to remain alone until the next train arrived, and informed the trainmen of what had occurred. Search was at once instituted for Mr. O'Connell who was found lay ing uuconscious on the track. He and wife were taken on the caboose 1 to Welsh for medical assistahce. Mr. Connell said that two of 'his assaillants were white, and the third 7 being the negro who had called him. The authorities along the fine were wired to keep a sharp look-out and I Ike B3roussard, our sheriff, was on the alert, and bagged six men, two were turned loose and as the other four, Allen Colmnan and Joseph King, colored, and Carl Strong and Hugh Fenner, could not render a satisfac tory account of themselves were held on suspicion awaiting investigation. Yesterday envening Mrs. Connell accompanied by Calcasien's sheriff and the railroad company's detec tive came in on the evening train, and the lady was shown the parties; she unhesitatingly identified one of the negroes as the one who decoyed her husband and robbed the depot. Col. Nicholson's Lecture. Tihe lecture of Prof. Nicholson, j illustrated by stereopticon views, was delivered to a small but appre ciative audience at the court house last Tuesday night. The speaker was introduced by Julian Mouton Esq., President of the Board of School Directors, and the Professor then addressed the audience, dem onstrating the character and scope of the A. & M. University at Baton Rouge. During the lecture views of the buildings, grounds, class rooms, mess halls, bedrooms, work shops, laboratories, officers and cadets, striking pictures of artillery manoeuvres, concluding the series with pictures of extinct animals, describing each scene to the evident interest of his hearers. We have heard only expressions of pleasure in regard to the lecture, and it was I both interesting and instructive. I will open in a few days a barber shop near the depot. I will continue s to run the Lombard barber shop which will be in charge of the best t barber in Lafayette, c LEON P BAGARRY. Lafayette, Aug, rt, 1893-.

ISAAC A BROUSSARD, July 22, 1893. Sheriff and Ex-Officio Tax Collector, Lafayette Parish. Ah, There I With a hand-spring, the shake of his shillelah, and a "don't ye trade on the tail ind av me coat" the wri ter of the Advertiser failed dismally in hiding his "baby act," brought forth because the Secretary gave The Gazette the proceedings of the police jury first. By the way, will the Advertiser tell the public how and where it got its information? For obvious reasons, we don't think it will tell. But we'll let this pass. The Gazette lays down the claim that Wednesday morning is ample time in which to hand in proceed ings containing less than- 4500 ems, to be inserted in a Saturday issue, as this represents a little over five hours work for an ordinary type-set ter, therefore affording more than ample time for the fulfillment of the conditions of the contract, and lead us to believe that every one not biased saw through the pretext. However, let us hasten to assure the writer of the Advertiser and its editor that in spite of their threats and Bob Acresisins The Gazette in tends to publish regilar.y tile pru cfcecing, ox tzU .-C Ni~c7u DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY. 3 acres of land bounded north by H.
