Miss Stella Terrell and Mr. Clowry
and Miss Steele both of Georgetown.
The ushers were Messrs Walter
Molte and Ed. Terrell.
The bride a petite brunette beauty
wore a gray travelling dress and hat
and the bridesmaids both wore gray
dresses. The church was very pret-
tily decorated.
Mr. William King Jr. died yester-
day at noon of consumption and was

We have had some very threaten-
ing weather the last week but not

The on to Oklahoma cry of one

The democratic party always grow
fat on husks predicate victory upon
defeat and grow hopeful as their
chances of success diminish. It is
this disposition which induces the
Charleston 8. C. News and Courier
to remark that at no time since the
war has the democratic outlook been
so promising. The man who view-
ing the political field In South Caro-
lina sees a rosy dawu tor the democ-
racy must have a most extraordinary
vision. The News must accept Till-
man as the titular deity of the Caro-
lina democracy.
Gen. Eagle democratic candidate
for governor of Arkansas soared al-
together too high for the strength of
his pinions when he measured wings
with Rev. Fizer his republican con-
testant. Mrs. Eagle endeavored to
regulate his erratic and ever weaken-
ing flight but it was of no avail and
the Eagle had to retire from the field.
There is a very perceptible change
in the sentiment of the New York
state democracy since Cleveland’s de-
feat two years ago. That change has
virtually settled the question of pres-
idential candidacy in favor of Govern-
or’Hill and New York cannot be
counted on as in line for Cleveland
any longer. The rural press of the
state are coming out openly in favor
of Mr. Hill’s nomination and Cleve-
land’s great hope was in the loyalty
of the rural democracy.
There are journals which speak
authoritatively for the republican par-
ty on questions of policy but no Jour-
nal is authorized to speak with any
authority on a question of party pol-
icy upon which the party has not pro-
nounced. How much less then has
any journal a right to assume to
speak authoritatively in contrariety
to the pronounced policy of
the party and yet claim to
be an exponent of republicanism.
This is precisely what every prohibi-
tionist and every opponent of the
original package decision is doing
whether as journalist or congressman.
The republican party is the party of
high license made so by express dec-
laration of its national platforms and
the man who is squarely republican
stands squarely upon that platform.
This refers solely to national party
policy and that policy is a high
license one.
Capt. J. C. Arthur the founder of
Arthur City has died at Sherman.

District Court Closed—lmprove-

Laredo Augus’ 5.—
To the Liuiit.
The district court which has been
in session since the 7th of July was
brought to a close this morning. The
court disposed of considerable busi-
ness this term. There were twelve
criminal convictions;ten of them will
be sent to the penitentary and two
appealed.
The most important case tried was
Peter Hammond who murdered J. W.
Moldoony on the morning of August
29th 1889. The state was rep-
resented bv District Attorney Hon.

and Hammond was defended by
Messrs Atlee and Earnest and A.
Winslow- Esqr. Laredo W. W. Bur-
nett Esq. Kerrville and H. M. Brown
Esqr. of. Hempstead the home of
Hammond.
The attorneys for the defence took
advantage of all the technicalities
that the law allowed them; appealed
to the passions and prejudices of the
jury. They appealed to them on
behalf of the aged mother and sister
that were in the court room to reduce
the grade of murder to that of homi-
cide. They played thesympathy racket
all the way through in fact they
carried that scheme of defence too far.
As the district attorney had the clos-
ing speech he went over all the evi-
dence exposed the argument of de-
feudaut’s counsel and showed to the
satisfaction of the jury that it was
murder in the first degree. He made
one of the strongest arguments that
your correspondent ever heard by
any district attorney in the state.
The jury was ouly out a short time
when they came into court with a
verdict of murder in the first degree
as charged iu the Indictment and
assessed the punishment iu the pen-
itentiary for life. The case was ap-
pealed.
When it was known what the ver-
dict of the jury was every one in the
city felt like going up to them amt giv-
ing them a hearty shake of the hand.
That jury have given public notice
that murderers and revolutionists had
better keep away from Webb county
if they want to keep out of jail.

about $4000000. The purpose of the
firm is to put the negroes to raising
coffee and sugar. They own about
21000000 acres of land which will be
divided among the colonists. No
rental will be charged for the land
and the firm will furnish a means of
support for the negroes till they can
get their grounds under cultivation

scheme will be settled August 14. It
