Two Men Killed—An Invalid Spectator
Dies from the Shock.
Ottawa, HL, Oct. 4.—Corydon Phelps,
for many years the leading stockbuyer
and shipper of this city, and Henry J.
Rigden, a painter, were struck by a pas-
senger train on the Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific railroad here and instantly
killed. John Heiser, who lived close to
the scene of .the accident, was sick, and
sat at his window overlooking the track.
He was found dead by his wife a few "min-
utes later, death evidently having been
produced by the shock of witnessing the
accident.

bill to
a
SENATE WAITING.
Special to The Tribune.
Austin, Tex., Oct. 4.—The senate this
and the same brown ribbon gives
belt.
Fawn color and damson will be a fa.
vorite combination in the new plaids and
silks in little checks in strong colors will
be used for -waistcoats, collars and cuffs,
to be worn with the natty coats and
skirts now coming in. The postillion
back again appears and if ever there
was a back that only a woman of fault-
less figure should risk that is the one. If
you have that sort of a back, all right;
if you haven’t, beware is the word, and
it should be read with the gory melo-
drama’s emphasis. The watteau back is
on the way, too, and it will come com-
bined with the open shepherdess front
and the petticoat styles. Of course, this
sort of thing will not be rushed into at
once, or women would all seem to have
rigged for a fancy dress ball, but it may
be as well to gather up any pretty flow,
ered brocade you come across, because
of this sort of stuff are the watteau
shepherdess affairs made. Don’t call it
a ruche or a boa, but style it a tour de
cou. Then, having got the name in mind
—whether you can pronounce it correctly
or not—don’t pay more for it than you
would if it had a plain United States
name. Dalphine.

Rushing Things Through—Will Adjourn
on Monday—Sympathy for Cuba.
Austin, Tex., Oct. 4.—-In the house yes-
terday, Mr. Ousley introduced a bill to
validate sales of detached school lands,
in conformity with the governor’s recom-
mendation. The bill was referred and
the house took a recess.
Senator Lewis’ resolution, expressing
sympathy with the Cuban revolutionists,
and favoring their recognition by the
United States was adopted in both
houses.
Senator Rogers presented

Both houses will adjourn Monday.
ROUGH CLOTHS AND THEIR COR-
RECT PLACE.
Boucle cloth of a weave that closely
resembles crepon appear that women may
indulge their passion for crepon and at
the same time sport a novelty. The
usual pattern shows a cloth flecked with
disconnected raised ripples or spots, the
continuous waves of crepon being avoid-
ed to secure something that is plainly un-
usual. Stunning as rough cloths may be,
they have their place, and out of that
place they are not in good taste. So the
designers always have used, and con-
tinue this season to use, smooth cloths
for the more elaborate occasions where
cloth is the thing.
A handsome brown storm serge is the
fabric employed in the dress shown here-
with and it is made in a moderately
wide, untrimmed skirt and in a simple
waist, the whole constituting a tasteful
house dress for a young woman. At the
top of the waist there is a square yoke
ornamented with three bands of in-
sertion and brown satin ribbon. To this
the full front is gathered with a narrow
head, the fastening being at the side.
The stock collar is trimmed with ribbon

which Judge Finn rendered his decision.

The preliminary hearing of J. A. Muse,
charged with the murder of Contractor
Q. G. Chamberlin, at Texas City, about
two weeks ago, was concluded last eve-
ning before Justice Finn. The result was
that Muse was remanded to jail without
bail.
It was 3 o’clock when the examination
of witnesses was resumed, and three
hours later Judge Finn rendered his ver-
dict.
The defense introduced as witnesses
Major M. F. Mott, Major Jordone, Chief
of Police Walter C. Jones, Dr. C. H.
Wilkinson, Major C. W. Preston, Major
S. M. Penland, I. Lovenberg, J. D.
Skiiiner, T. P. Nichols, J. N. Stowe and
Fort Smith, who testified as to the ex-
cellent character of Muse. Some of the
witnesses had known him for 25 years,
and during that time never knew of his
being involved in a difficulty prior to the
Chamberlin killing.
W. Moore, who testified Wednesday,
was recalled by the defense. He testified
that he at one time heard Chamberlin
say that he intended to give Muse occa-
sion to pull his gun, and when he did, he
(Chamberlin) would take it away from
him, pull his nose and slap his face, or
words to that effect. Witness said that
Muse was quite ill the night before the
killing.
Upon cross-examination witness said
that the remarks concerning Muse were
made by Chamberlin about 3 or 4 months
ago. The only remark witness ever
heard Muse make about Chamberlin was
that he thought he was a mighty mean
man. ’He did not hear Muse say he would
use a gun on Chamberlin.
MUSE TAKES THE STAND.
J. A. Muse, the defendant, next took
the stand and told the following story
concerning the*'killing:
“I have lived in What is now known as
Texas City since 1876 and am 58 years of
I am not-.a well man by any means
and have a broken wrist, am ruptured
and otherwise disabled. I have been in
bad health for some time and was un-
able to be out on the day of the killing
of Chamberlin. I was very weak and
had not eaten anything on that day or
on the previous night. I had often heard
that Chamberlifi had made threats that
he would take a. gun out of my hands and
slap my face. George Monday told me
this last June. Monday, at the time he
told me this, warned me. not to leave my
house unless I Was, armed, stating that I
might receive spine harm at the hands of
certain people < and particularly
Chamberlin. After Monday communi-
cated these threats to me, whenever 1
had occasion to leave my premises I
usually went armed to the teeth. I have
frequently expressed my determination
to protect 'my property until ousted by
law. Whenever I left my home my wife
protected the property. About an hour
prior to the shooting I met Chamberlii^
I had not spoken a word to him for a
few months. I went into Prendergast’s
saloon to get some ginger and when 1
came out I saw Chamberlin Coming out
of Davison’s gate. I crossed to the op-
posite side of the street, not caring to
meet him, and he came over to where 1
was, walking about 30 feet out of his
way. As Chamberlin approached I said:
‘I don’t want to talk to you,’ and Cham-
berlin replied: ‘By God, you dirty cur, 1
will make you talk to me, you dirty gray-
haired ---.’ I said to Chamber-
lin that he might have to eat his words
and I walked away. Chamberlin said:
‘If I do, we will both go to hell together.’
“When I got home I was nearly crazy.
I went into my house, got my gun, loaded
it, and walked out in front of my house
near the bay shore. I saw some boys and
said: ‘Boys, don’t talk to me; I don’t
feel like it.’ I remained there a short
time, and then decided to go home and
saddle my horse and take a ride over the
prairie. As I was walking toward my
house, I met Chamberlin, and he walked
toward me. I ordered him to halt, but
he did not obey. As he was advancing
on me, I said: ‘No, you don’t, no you
don’t!’ and then fired, and then the sec-
ond shot. When I was on my way home
I had no idea that I would meet Chamber-
lin; I did not know whether he was
armed, and I expected violence from him.
When Chamberlin walked toward me my
gun was not concealed. Chamberlin in a
physical fight could have whipped half a
dozen men like me. I expected serious
bodily harm from Chamberlin and killed
him in self-defense..”
Upon cross-examination, witness said
that Chamberlin had various roads by
which he went to the cotton compress.
Witness said Chamberlin was about 30
feet from the shell road when he came
towards him as he was on his way home.
The state introtlilbed Fred Huhn, who
testified that he was in Texas City ou the
day of the killing of Chamberlin. He
saw Chamberlin a .short time before he
was killed. Chamberlin was coming from
the Inman compress, and witness was
walking in an opposite direction. Witness
spoke a few words, to Chamberlin and
walken on. Witness also saw Muse. He
was sitting down; by a cedar hedge, and
his gun was resting against a tree. Cham-
berlin’s body was about five or ten feet
from the cedars; Chamberlin ^Iways
took the path leading this way, because
it was easier walking than on the shell
road.
Cross-examined; r Chamberlin’s body
when witness saw it, was lying about five
feet from the path.
Upon redirect examination witness
said that he had known Chamberlin
since 1876, when he was in Memphis.
He was an honest and good-natured man
and was always kind to witness, who
worked with him. Witness did not see
the difficulty, but heard the shooting.
Upon recross witness said that he was
a friend of Chamberlin’s. Ide had never
seen him drunk; never heard Chamberliu
say anything against Muse.
Fred A. Crawford knew Chamberlin
at Texas City; had been acquainted with
him since the 1st of April; never knew
of Chamberlin being under the influence
of liquor; never heard Chamberlin say
anything against Muse.
Upon crossexamination witness said he

THE DREAM-SHIP.
When the world is fast asleep,
Along the midnight skies—
As though it were a wandering cloud—
The ghastly Dream-Ship flies.
An angel stands at the Dream-Ship’s
helm,
An angel stands at the prow,
And an angel stands in the Dream-Ship’s
side
With a rue wreath on her brow.
The other angels, silver-crowned,
Pilot and helmsman are,
And the angel with the wreath of rue
Tosseth the dreams afar.
The dreams they fall on rich and poor,
They fall on young and old;
And some are dreams of poverty,
And some are dreams of gold.
And some are dreams that thrill with joy,
And some that melt with tears,
Some are dreams of the dawn of love,
And some of the old dead years.
On rich and poor alike they fall,
Aike on young and old,
Bringing to slumbering earth their joys
And sorrows manifold.
The friendless youth in them shall do
The deeds of mighty men,
And drooping age shall feel the grace
Of buoyant youth again.
The king shall be a beggerman—
The pauper be a king—
In that revenge or recompense
The Dream-Ships dreams do bring'.
So ever down ward float the dreams
That are for all and me,
And there is never mortal man
Can solve that mysery.
But ever onward on its course
Along the haunted skies—
As though it were a cloud astray—
The ghostly Dream-Ship flies.
Two angels with their silver crowns
Pilot and helmsman are,
And an angel with a wreath of rue
Tosseth the dreams afar.

AGAINST HARDIN.
Louisville, Ky., Oct. 1.—Boyd Win-
chester is out against Hardin. This is
the biggest gun yet fired in the fight. The
sound money Democrats of Kentucky
against the Blackburn-Hardin conspira-
cy. Winchester was formerly a member
of congress from Kentucky. He was re-
cently minister to Switzerland. His par-
ty record is' without a flaw in it. Mr.
Winchester not only declares his own po-
sition against Hardin, but he points out
in a wonderfully clear way the effect
upon the cause of sound money of a vote
for Hardin, even under protest. He shows
how the issue between honest money and
dishonest money has been developed in
this campaign and how far-reaching will
be the evil influence if sound-money Dem-
ocrats surrender their principles to vote
for Hardin. His characterization of
Hardin’s course is the severest that has
yet come from a sound money Democrat.
His arguments that party discipline de-
mands the defeat of Hardin opens up a
new view of the unprecedented situa-
tion.
Texas Coast News.
Major Miller now officially reports that
there is. now 19 3-4 feet of water on the
bar at mean low tjde. Ever since the
new government dredge Comstock was
put to work, a little over three weeks
ago the channel has been' steadily deep-
ened until a narrow strip of 200 feet sep-
arates the 20-foot contour lines. This, it
is said, the Comstock can remove in a
couple of days, and aided by the recent
“norther,” three is sufficient reason to
believe that a depth of 20 feet, mean low
tide on Galveston bar will be officially
announced to the convention now in ses-
sion at Topeka. The delegates from
Galveston, whose pleasure it will be to
carry the good tidings, while not as nu-
merically strong as was expected, are
representative men who can be depended
upon to assist in promoting the tremen-
dous western sentiment which has been
constantly growing in favor of the utili-
zation of the deep water achievement
here. The ways and means by which
this end can be reached, will doubtless be
the chief subject for the deliberations of
the convention, and the question of hold-
ing an exposition will depend upon the
effect it will have in furthering that ob-
ject. _

England must submit the boundary dis-

this and attempts to enforce her de-

get tangled up in the lion’s mane. That,
at least, will be the jingo view of it.

ON THE HOTEL VERANDA.
I see her turn the corner;
I hear her mannish tread.
I feel an awful presence
That fills my soul withfRread.
Great Scott! she’s drawing nearer;
I’ll vanish while I can.
If she’s the coming woman,
Then I’m the going man.
THE AUDITORIUM.
The interest manifested in the Audi-
torium enterprise by leading business
men of the city indicates beyond reasona-
ble doubt the accomplishment of the pro-
ject.
The purpose is to erect an Auditorium
far out to sea, that is to say, 600 feet
from the shore, where the waves are for-
ever restless and the breeze is never still.
The building is to be of such dimensions
that it will accommodate the largest
gatherings, political -uijd other conven-
tions, mass meetings, etc., in the Audi-
torium while not interfering with the

A LITTLE NONSENSE.

MILEAGE AND PER DIEM.
An Austin special says there is a move
on foot to withhold the mileage and per
diem of absent members.
This naturally suggests the query as to
what right members have to claim mile-
age when they have not traveled or pay
for services which they have not per-
formed? A good deal has been said
about the expense of the extra session.
Some of the legislators have been quoted
as reprobating an extra legislative ses-
sion simply because of the expense it
would ent-aii upon the state. Did they
have in mind the demand that would be
made upon the treasury by members who
would not attend, not only for per diem,
but for mileage also?
It may be legal to distrbute the people’s
money among persons who have done
nothing to deserve it, but is there any
equity in it? Is there a member of either
branch of the legislature who would ac-
cept money supposed to cover the cost
to which he had been subjected in going
to and from the capital, knowing that he
has incurred no such expense and is en-
titled to no such restitution?
It seems to be pretty certain that the
sound money Democrats of Kentucky
will not vote for the candidate for gov-
ernor who bolted the platform of the
Democratic convention and persists in
making the race as a free silver candi-
date. This defection may imperil the
success of the entire Democratic ticket
along with its rebellious head.
Ex-Congressman Boyd Winchester of
Kentucky, in advising sound money
Democrats not to vote for Hardin, says:
“Sound money Democrats and free sil-
ver Democrats, like right and wrong,
may be near neighbors, yet the line
that separates them is of awful sacred-
ness; it is no less than the line be-
•
tween honest and dishonest currency.”
NO TOOTHACHE IN THAT FACTORY.
Chicago Times-Herald.
There is a large manufacturing estab-
lishment on the west side which employs
a dentist to examine the teeth of all appli-
cants for work. If a tooth has a cavity
it must be filled, or, if it is too far gone,
it must be pulled. The dental work is, in
most cases, done at the expense of the
factory and has proved to be wise econ-
omy. Little time is lost on account of
toothaches. Teeth of employes are ex-
amined at regular inervals, whether they
are giving their owners any trouble
not.

THE ORIGIN OF FICTION
Herbert Spencer in the Bopula* Science
Monthly.
That fiction has developed out -of biog-
raphy scarcely needs proof. Unless a
biographer is accurate, which even mod-
ern biographers rarely are and which an-
cient biographers certainly were not, it
inevitably happens that there is more or
less of fancy mingled with fact. The
same tendencies which in early times de-
veloped anecdotes of chiefs into mytho-
logical stories of them as gods, operated
universally, and necessarily produced in
narratives of men’s lives exaggerations
which greatly distorted them. If we re-
member the disputes among the Greeks
respecting the birthplace of poets and
philosophers we- see how reckless were
men’s statements and how largely the
actual was perverted by the imaginary.
So, too, on coming down to Christian
times it needs but to name the miracles
described in the lives of the saints to
have abundant proof of such vitiations.
As in our own day the repeater of an
anecdote, or circulator of a scandal, is
tempted to make his or her story inter-
esting by making much of the striking
points; so, still more in early days, when
truth was less valued than now, were
stories step by step perverted as they
passed from mouth to mouth.
Of course the narrator who gave the
most picturesque version of an adventure
or achievement was preferred by listen-
ers; and, of course, ever tempted to in-
crease the imaginary additions, passed
insensibly into a maker of tales.. Even
children, at first anxious to know wheth-
er the stories told them were true, by and
by become ready to accept untrue
stories; and then some of them, thus
taught by example, invent wonderful
tales to interest their companions,
the uncivilized or semi-civilized
genesis naturally occufs among adults.
Hence the established class of story-
tellers in the east—authors of oral fic-
tions. And how gradually by this process
fiction is differentiated with biography,
is shown by the fact that at first these
stories, which, as exaggerations of actual
incidents, are partially believed by the
narrators, are wholly believed in by the
listeners. In his “Three Years in a Le-
vantine Famly” Mr. Bayle St. John tells
us that when the “Arabian Nights” were
being read aloud, and when he warned
those around that they must not suppose
the narratives to be true, they insisted
on believing them, asking “Why should a
man sit down and write lies?” So that
after fiction comes into existence it is still
classed as biography—is not distin-
guished from it as among civilized na-
tions.

The “Topmost Topic” having now been
disposed of, the “steen to one” discus-
sion may be resumed.
Estimates of the cotton crop of 1895

price of the staple goes higher and the

for peace officers to understand generally

so-called glove contests constitute a fel-
ony in Texas.

MONROE DOCTRINE.
The Venezuelan boundary line dispute
appears to have assumed the dignity and
importance of a very serious internal
tional question.
If the report from the seat of govern'
ment may- be relied on, Secretary Olney
has presented an ultimatum to Great
Britain which will bring matters to an
issue with reference to the enforcement
of the Monroe doctrine. Further acquisi-
tion of American territory by England or
any other foreign country is not to be
tolerated by this government if the Mon-
roe doctrine is to be upheld and main-
tained, and if it is not the purpose of
Great Britain to extend her territory in
Venezuela there is no apparent reason
why she should not be willing to submit
the boundary question in dispute to ar-
bitration. In the Nicaraguan dispute of
a short time ago there was a good deal
said about the application of the Monroe
doctrine, but the circumstances were
quite different from those attending the
present controversy. There was no
question of territorial expansion in Nic-
aragua, but simply a demand for indem-
nity and reparation for a wrong done.
The Monroe doctrine fits the Venezuela
case exactly and Secretary Olney is said
to have put his foot down with emphasis.
The Galveston Tribune publishes a com-
plete report of the cotton markets each
issue, which reaches all important points
within 250 miles of Galveston the follow-
ing morning in ample time for operations
in the early markets. No other paper
does this.
Deep water has knocked out the
“lighter” business, said President’Adoue
of the Lighter company, and visitors to
the city will have no more excursions
on the lighters, as of old. Last week, he
says, he sent two boats to the boneyard,
next week he will send two more and by
next spring his company will retire per-
manently from the lighter business. With
the coming of deep water, its occupa-
tion is gone.
The brave can afford to be magnani-
mous, and almost always are; only the
coward and skulker gloats over a fallen
foe. At the same time it should be re-
membered that the brave do not whine
over a defeat.
Dallas should now try a “mental cul-
ture” contest. Something of the sort
seems to be needed in that locality.
