Texas, *
New York, Aug. 20.—Mr. Corwine of
the Merchants’ association of New
York says that a number of sub-com-
mittee reports covering the investiga-
tions and observations made on their
recent trip through Texas have been
handed in. There was a committee
appointed to deal with each of the fol-
lowing subjects: Texas law’s, banking,
transportation and export facilities, ag-
ricultural resources, mineral resources,
lumber manufacturing, educational fa-
cilities, sanitary and climatic condi-
tions and labor.
The committee on lumber has al-
ready filed its report, as has also the
committee on mineral resources, and
the committee report on labor and the
report on agricultural resources of the
state are now in process of preparation
and are expected to be filed within a
day or two.
The report of the committee on
trainsportation and export facilities is
nearly finished. These reports will not
be made public, but will be used as the
basis for the general report, which will
be published in book form for gratui-
tous distribution.
The report is expected to be ready
early in October, and when it has been
published it will be submitted to the
Merchants’ association as a body and
approved by them, so that it will be
recognized as an official document of
that body, which will give it great
weight in the business world.
Mr. Corwine, secretary of the Mer-
chants’ association committee, informs
a correspondent that it is the intention
to send Speakei* Prince of the Texas
legislature a copy of the report offi-
cially as soon as ready, together with
a letter of thanks for the courtesy
which he showed the committee while
in Texas.
A copy will also be sent to the gov-
ernor and all members of the Texas
reception committee.
Letter Received.
Washington, Aug. 21.—The acting
secretary of the navy, Mr. Hackett,
had on his desk the letter from Ad-
miral Schley’s counsel relative to a
reported interview by Admiral How-
isson, one of the members of the court
of inquiry. Beyond admitting that the
letter had been received Mr. Hackett
would not discuss it in any phase. It
is the general expectation, however,
the letter will be forwarded to Ad-
miral Howison with a reauest for a
reply.
Chilean Minister Dies.
Washington, Aug. 21.—The state de-
partment is advised by telegraph of
the death of Senor Don Carlos Moorla
Vicuna, minister from Chile to the
United States, which occurred at Buf-
Automobile Ruined.
Richmond, Va., Aug. 21.—The auto-
mobile journey of Mr. and Mrs. Deck-
er from New York to Texas has been
delayed until a new machine can be
secured. The vehicle which brought
them safely over 1000 miles broke
down at Buchanan, Va., and was taken
to Roanoke, where it was run into a
shop for repairs. An hour after the
shop was closed the gasoline engine
exploded and set the shop on fire. The
automobile was ruined and the shop
badly injured.
Pierce City, Mo, Aug. 21.—For near-
ly fifteen hours, ending about noon
Tuesday, this town of 3000 people has
been in the hands of a mob of armed
whites determined to drive every ne-
gro from its precincts. In addition to
the lynching Monday night of Will
Godley, accused of the murder of Miss
Gazelle Wild, and the shotting of his
grandfather, the mob cremated Pete
Hampton, an aged negro, in his home,
set a torch to the house of five blacks,
and with the aid of state militia rifles,
stolen from the local company’s ar-
senal, drove dozens of negroes from
the town. In the afternoon the excite-
ment died down, the mob gradually
dispersing, more from lack of negroes
upon which to wreak their hatred than
for any other cause. Many of the ne-
groes who fled the city are in hiding
in the surrounding woods, while others
have gone greater distances in seeking
safety.
Every negro has left the town except
a few railway porters, known to be re-
spectable, but who must also leave.
The citizens of Pierce City say that as
negroes have committed several such
crimes in the last ten years none shall
live there in the future, the same feel-
ing already existing at Monett, four
miles east of Pierce City, and the end
of the Frisco passenger division. It
may be necessary for the road to
change all porters in Springfield here
after. .

Pierce City, Mo., Aug. 20.Will
and Gene Carter, negroes, were lynch-
ed by a mob composed of 1000 armed
citizens Monday for murder of Miss
Carelle Wild, whose dead body was
found Monday in the woods near here.
The mob went to the jail about 9
o’clock and battered down the doors,
threw ropes around the necks of Godley
ar Carter, another suspect. Godley
was hanged in front of the Lawrence
hotel and his body riddled with bullets.
Carter’s guilt was not clearly establish-
ed, and he was taken back to the jail,
but was subsequently taken out and
shot.
Carter confessed that he knew who
committed the crime and charged Joe
Clark, a railroad porter, now away on
his run, with being the real culprit.

Washington, Aug. 21.—There was an
entire absence of developments in the
Colombian-Venezuelan situation at the
navy department Tuesday. Some sur-
prize and amazement has been caused
by the comments of the German press
to the effect that the United States
has ulterior motives in taking precau-
tionary measures relative to affairs on
the isthmus. Such expressions, it is
stated, show an entire lack of knowl-
edge of the plain purposes of this gov-
ernment to take no hand in the south-
ern troubles except for the protection
of American interests or in execution
of the requirements of our treaty with
Colombia. However, these comments
receive no serious attention from those
in authority, as they are expressive
only of individual opinion. It is no-
ticeable, however, that the South
American countries most concerned
have no such concern as to American
purposes as those expressed in some
of the European newspapers.
Victoria, B. C., Aug. 20.—The steam-
er Islander, the flagship of the Cana
dian Pacific Navigation fleet and the
largest and fastest passenger steamer
on the Victoria-Skagway route, col-
lided with an iceberg off Douglas is-
land, Alaska, while on her way south
with the largest number of passengers
that she has carried since she was re-
placed on the run a few months ago
and sank within fifteen minutes after
striking.
Capt. Foote, her master, and about
sixty-five persons, including passengers
and members of the crew, were drown-
ed. To add to the horror of the terri-
ble disaster, her boilers exploded as
she went down, causing the death of
many of those who were struggling in
the water. The steamer left Skagway
in the evening of Wednesday last and
was proceeding out of Lynn Canal
when the collision occurred. Most of
the passengers and the members of the
crew, who were in bed, were rudely
awakened by the shock. The majority
got out on deck in time to be saved
in the boats, which were quickly man-
ned, but a large number went down
in their staterooms. Some of the sur-
vivors arrived here on Monday and
report the scene of the disaster as ap-
palling. I
The news came as a terrible blow to
the citizens of Victoria, many of the
lost being well known and having
families in this city, and was particu-
lary sudden, as the steamer had been
expected and many were expecting her
arrival when the steamer Queen came
in with the news. It is impossible at
present to obtain a complete list of
the dead, as Purser Bishop remained
at Juneau to attend to the forwarding
of the passengers and kept the ship’s
papers with him. He sent a letter to
Mr. Vincent, secretary of the company,
but gave but few names of those who
had been lost and no details of the
wreck. The officers and passengers
who came down were likewise unable
to give any but a very incomplete list.
All estimate loss of life at about six-
ty-five and gave the greatest praise to
the officers for the manner in which
they acted under the most trying cir-
cumstances. The officers, on the other
hand, state that had the passengers not
rushed to the boats -the loss of life
would have been very small. The sur-
vivors were landed on Douglas Island
and the mate was sent to Juneau for
help. The steamer Flossie and Lucy
responded and took them to Juneau. A
small amount of the gold on board was
saved.
A later report places death roll at
forty-two.

scientist, completed type-written page
6532 of a treatise on diseases of the

been working for years, and which, it
was expected, would bring him fame
and fortune. Then he sat back in his
chair and enjoyed a smoke. He fell
off his chair into a nap, and while nap-
ping his cigar ignited the cloth of the
table upon which he had placed his
manuscript. He was awakened by the
smell of burning paper. Before he
could extinguish the flames his trea
tise was a mass of ashes.
Negro Desperado Slain.
Selma, Ala.. Aug. 21.—Jesse Beach, a
negro desperado, was killed at Berlin,
a small town near here, Monday night
by George Turner, another negro.
Beach was wanted at Memphis, Tenn.,
for murder, and had been arrested and
bound over by Judge Winters. The
negro was placed in the corner of the
store and succeeded in untying the
rope around his arms, grabbed a Win-
Chester and ordered every one away
from the store. Beach then leisurely
walked away, and climbing a hill near
by stood behind a tree and shot at
every one who showed himself. George
Hunter approached the east side of- the
store on a mule and inquired the cause
of the trouble. Mr. Winter, who was
concealed near by, made no explana-
tion, but ordered Hunter to shoot
Beach. Hunter raised his shotgun,
loaded with buckshot, and at the first
fire Beach fell dead with the load
through his heart.
Paducah, Ky., Aug. 20 —The steamel
City of Golconda, plying between this
city and Elizabethtown, III., was struck
by a squall during a storm about 7
o'clock Monday night as she was en
route to Paducah, and turned over in
ten feet of water, six miles above the
city, as she was going into Crowell's
landing. Sixteen persons are reported
drowned. The disaster occurred as
supper was being served, and many of
the seventy-five passengers were in the
cabin. The wind struck the boat with-
out warning, and there was no time for
those inside to escape. Capt. Jesse
Bauer and Pilot E. E. Peck were the
last to leave the boat and swim ashore.
They saved several struggling in the
water and left the survivors in a house
near the bank and came to the city.
Capt. Bauer, who arrived here two
hours after the catastrophe, said:
"Theb oat was getting ready to land
when the squall struck her and she
listed. Several passengers who were
inside jumped overboard and were
caught by the boat. The ladies, all of
whom were in the cabin, could not be
reached. The boat settled down in ten
feet of water over a reef, and two of
the men who were in the cabin—H.
E. Worten and N. Quartermouse of
Hampton—broke through the glass and
were saved. Three colored deck hands
saved a woman and child, and I think
she was the only woman saved. A
yawl that had broken loose was caught
by some of those struggling in the wa-
ter and taken to the bank. We re-
turned to the boat,- but could find no
signs of life and returned to shore.”

Oak Cliff was visited by a severe

Whitesboro, Tex., Aug. 21.—From
Dexter Constable Davenport tele-
phoned the following Tuesday night:
“Myself and M. W. Witt arrested Abe
Wildner on Mud creek a little before
noon. We arrested him in a cornfield,
and afterward a mob of a hundred men
gathered and forced us to take the
man out of the field. I told them I
wanted to know -whether we had the
right man or not, and whether or not
the man under arrest was guilty.
“I warned him that anything he
should tell me might be used against
him as evidence, and asked him if he
was guilty. He told me the story as
follows: ‘I murdered Mrs. Caldwell.
I laid in wait until her husband left
home, and went to the house. I tried
to assault her and she was too strong
for me, and I cut her throat. I went
there for the purpose of asaulting her.’
“That was all the negro would say,
except to confess to other mischief
that he had done in Whitesboro. He
was very stoical, and when the mob
told him they were going to burn him
he said nothing. There was some talk
of lynching in the Territory, but I got
the prisoner in a wagon and started for
Texas with him.
“After we crossed Red river and got
across to the Grayson county line the
citizens’ posse overpowered me and the
other officers and took the prisoner
from us.
“They decided to burn him, and
when about a mile across the Grayson
county line, and a mile and a half
from Dexter, on Bill elson’s ranch,
they took Wildner and tied him to a
big elm tree. Wire and chains -were
used to fasten him to the tree, and
then some dry corn fodder was piled
under his feet.
“The men then piled the fuel around
him, and when it was done the match
was again applied, and this time wood
was heaped on the fire and Wildner
sliwly burned to death. He did not
pray, nor did he ask to be allowed time
to pray or make any preparation, but
stood in the flames like a stoic and
slowly burned to death.
“The burning took about a half to
three-quarters of an hour, and he was
badly charred and burned before life
was extinct. In some places the flesh
was burned to the bone.
“He groaned and moaned several
times, and when in the midst of his
misery he cried out and begged the
men to shoot him and end his misery,
but the men looked on grimly and did
not stir to make his suffering greater
ar to alleviate his pain.
“That was the only request he made
■—for some one to shoot him and end
his misery. He did not shriek, nor
cry out, nor beg for his life or for
mercy, but there were groans that he
could not suppress.
“There was no mutilation of the ne-
gro by the men, nor was an attempt
made to mutilate his body. Death
came very slowly to relieve the man’s
sufferings.” I
A man is apt to feel girlish when he
is making his maiden-speech.

that I was obliged to give up my posi-

treatment, but after several months I
was worse instead of better. I was ad-
