Trainor, a promineat young man of New Iberia was killed Friday evening of last week by a m latto boy aged 18 years, named Sam - Wakefield. Immediately after shooting Tralnor, the murderer fled, bat was soon Captured by Deputy Sheriff Felix N, Mestayer and Constable C. D. Patin who Sstarted for the jail with their prisoner, ) but the killing of Mr. Trainor spread like wild fire and a crowd of ndignant j citizens soon were around the oecers 0) and prisoner, and cries of "hang him" were beard-the excitement at that me meat ran very high and a rope was nset around the prisoner's neck, but was im mediately cut by the oiears. When the odicers had about reached the Jail with their presoner they were assaulted by themob and terribly beaten. When both omcers were downed a sharp crack o pistol or rifle was heard and Wakefield fell to the ground dead, After the killingof Wakefield which oc ered at abeut 7o'clock in the evening the angry eitizens visited several places oc cupled by negroes and destroyed the eon , tentsof those establishments, and ordered about a doen negroes to leave the town. Deputy Sheriff Mestayer and Con. stable Patl have shown themselves worthy and brave ocfirs and have the admiration of the community for the - anner in which they so manfully dis tinguished themselves. Tuesday night, Jim Rosemond one of the negroes who were ordered to leave New Iberia was found hanging on the bridge in that town. The hanging is Said to have been done at about niae o'clock. Gov. Nleholls has ordered the Attorney General to proceed at once to New Iberia and investigate the troubles at that place. Local Lights. I a PFor nice and cool beer, go a B. Audiberts's.

The City Item Says the Indiana Legis lature is considering a bill to suppress those "rlotous conspiracies," the White Caps raids. That enterprising and interesting jour nai, the Plcayun, commenceed Friday of list week its fifty third volume. We wish the old Pie, many more anniversaries.

Half a dose new members with ride the "billy goat" at the nest meeting of the Knights of Honor. Snce the lodge Is organiled In this town several mem bers have been added to the list. This lodge will soon be one of the Important lodges of Louisiana. By directions of Captain C. J. Searles of the Volunteer Soutbroes, the arms of the Vicksburg True Blues, a colored militia company were seized. The True Blues had been furnished nfra by the state of Mississippi, but it oppeara that the olcers of the colored campany bhad anever receipted for the arms, although repeated demands were made for the proper voochers but no heed was paid to the demands of Capt. Seares. The French New Senation performed In this towna Monday and Teeday aad proved deed great smesation. Both performanes were largely attended and every one was well satised with what be had seen in the New Seastion for the small sum of 2centa. Mr. French han the reputation of being the only bon eat show man traveling. They treat sevy oe with kindeas and eortesy and take every possible pain for the am fort and easeof their andlence. At the New Sesation yoa get a flow of three honrs solid tfun for only twenty five cents It is a good ebow in every respect. A Jeanerette special to the Picayune says: The people of our town sad this ,om munity in general are, we are pleased to learn, awakening from their apparent lethargy, as several new enterprises are spoken of here. The building associa tion has made a brilliant start vi: a canning and furniture factory. which we trust will assume definite shape ere long, thereby proving to the world at large that the beautiful and productive Teche section is the land of Evangeline to fact as well as name. Through the courtesy of Mr. P. D. Oliveir, Secretary of the School board of St. Martin parish, we present to our readers in this issue, a tabulated State ment of the funds in the treasury of the school board, and also the expenditures of the year 1888. It shows that the amount received by the board for the year 1888 was 06683.98, and the disbur sements amounted to 04.179.51, leav ing a balance in the treasury to be ex pended this year, of $~2674,46. We no tice that the amount collected from the poll tax is 02,584,95 while there are over three thouusad voters in this parisb. Thear is no reason why the other voters who owe the poll tax should not pay, as this money goes to the School boaed and their children enjoy the benefit of the public school as well as those who pay. It ought not to be so, or some means should be adopted to force the payment of the poll tax by every voter. Louis Victor the negro who bhis said to have been shot by a young man named Guitros, died from the effects of bhi wound. The shooting of the negroe was a cold blooded and premeditated murder. This affair occured at Grand Pointe, in the upper part of St. Martin parish. Guitros who is a young man aged a bout 22 or 23 years had a preliminary trial before Judge Mouton Wednesday, and the evidence elicited at this trial shows the killing to have been a cold blooded murder. Judge Mouton reman ded the prisoner to jail without benefit of baill, and instrnucted District Attorney Voorbles to file an afdavit of murder against Gultros. The day after the shooting of the ne gro, Victor, by Guitros he was arrested, brought here and released on Ave hun dred dollars bond, but since the negro died. The dead man gave his dying de claration stating he was murdered by Gultroz without any provocation. The authorities should take every possible means to punish the criminals to the tnllest extent of the law. After three years. W. F.

The following Is a Dallas, Texas, special to the Plcyune: The White Cape have made their ap pearance in Dallas. A negro wood chopper was inquiring to-day what "White Caps" meant. He said be had received a note signed by them, giving bim a limted time to leave tbe city. It was written with a red pencil. but in one corner bore the regulation skull and cross bones with a blaek pencil. Last night two masked men entered the bonuse of a negro woman, represea ting themselves to be White Cape and gave her ten days' notice to leave town. In both cases the negroes were terribly frightened and may beed the warning given. But little attention was given to the complatint of the negroes until it was learned to-day that Mr. George Beaeb had received notice to leave, the notice reading: "Geo. Beach- You must leave Dallas .efore Feb. 1. No anarchists allowed here. We mean what we say. Mr. Beseb is a printer, is well known in Dallas and bas been an exponent of socialistic theories and as advocate of anarchy for nine years, having at one time conducted and edited a newspaper. the tenor of which strongly nmacked of these ideas of so-called "reform."

The negro problem has been tbe stb. ject of diecuselon for the p at fifty year or more. It began way back when Noah was a baby, and has coiue down through ages to vex and worry the Iuman family. It must have sadly troubled Delwelmeoa's family and d bad a most tragic finale for that charming lady. Wilberfore and others mad. it hot it old England a numbl.r of y...ue ago.

Rivers of blood were shed and hundreds of millioe of dollars were spent in solving the prob lem. G rrison Greeley and Sum:. r vainly hoped it was solved when the ne gro was made a free man. The country alsojhough that when the shackle fell from the last slave, the problem was ended. But after tweuty-fve years of emancipation it comes to disturb the country again. The negro has been made a free uea, has been given the ballot and stands as the equal before the law of the white man, and yet the negropbilist of the North is not happy. The negro himself is content. e is not asking more. He is being eduested in schools paid for by the white raa, generally going along attending to his own bneusiness and don't care a button about the President-elect and his Seuth ern policy or anybody else, so be gete a belly full of grub. Then he ought to be let alone by Mr. Sherman and all his tribe.- Biloxi (Miss.) Herald.] AN ADDRESS To Citizens of Louisiana. BUTN. LA., JAN. 24, 188.
