FRIDAY, MAY 25,1S83"

A span* of the bridge over the Colorado
river at Austin, gave way day before yes-
terday, while some cattle were crossing,
and went down into the water, taking in
about fifty head of cattle of which ten or
fifteen head was drowned. Fortunately
no person was on that span. The bridge
has been considered unsafe.
Progress.—They are butchering beef and
mutton at Victoria, Texas, and sending it
by refrigerator cars, via Houston and New
Orleans to Chicago to be sold. This will
undersell beef butchered at Chicago, be-
cause the saving in transportation must be
largely in favor of the dressed beef, and ice
is cheap. In the mean time, beeves are
butchered in Chicago and sent dressed to
New York. So the new plan works doubly,
and doubtless cheapens dressed beef, both
at Chicago and New York.
The Houston Light Guard which went to
the competitive drill at New Orleans, failed
to make the anticipated impression. The
Daily States criticises several defects in
their exercises. However they took the
second prize, and the Crescent Rifles the
first. From New Orleasn they go .to the
great drill at Nashville. In the artillery
drill, the first prize. $500 went to battery B.
Louisiana field artillery; the second to bat-
tery C.; third to battery B. Washington
artillery.

TELEGRAPHIC.
The following from the Dallas Times
may be considered reliable, as do v. Ster-
rett is authority on all such matters: «
"All the newspapers in the State contain
the information that wine has been banish-
ed from Gov. Ireland's table. It was also
banished from Gov. Roberts' table, Gov.
Hubbard's table, and the tables of the rest
of the Texas Governors. The truth is,
there has never been a Governor of Texas
who made a rule of having wine on the ta-
ble. A square drink of whiskey before
dinner is, and has been the rule. All this
talk about "banishing wine" &c., a la Mr.
and Mrs. Rutherford Hayes, is the purest
bosh."
An Old Timer.
We were glad to see in the Paris Tril>-
une of the 17th, the following notice of an
old friend, and old subscriber to the
Staxdakd, of whom we had lost knowledge
several years ago:
"Mr. C. A. Warfield. one of the earliest
residents of this county but now of Butte
county. California, called on us Tuesday
and we spent a few very pleasant moments
with him. He came to this county in 1X12,
married in 1844 a sister of Mr. J. J. Ham-
ilton, lived here until 1848 when he moved
to Hunt county where he resided until 18GG
the time of his departure for his present
place of residence. He represented Hunt
county in the Legislature in 18C0—CI. lie
is now with his wife visiting relatives here
and will make a considerable trip to the
eastern States on the same errand of pleas-
ure. Though now eighty-four years of
age Mr. Warfield is hale and hearty and
looks better than many men at sixty. "\\e
wish for him and his worthy wife a pleas-
ant meeting with ohl friends and relatives
and manj- long years of life and happi-
ness."
A Model Mun.
We find the following notice iu the col-
umns of our valued cotemporary the Bon-
liam News:
"T. I). Hartley came into our office last
Monday morning and subscribed for two
copies more of the News. He says that his
family is a numerous one and all want to
read the News first: hence, he wished to
have three copies in the family so that he
could get to read one of them himself."
Considering how many heads of families
are wholly unappreeiative of the great ben-
efit derived by children from reading well
conducted public journals, a benefit great-
er than that derived from instruction in
the school room, after the child has attain-
ed the age of eight years, this man Hart-
ley's eomprehcns:on of an important fact
is something worthy of appreciation, and
his photograph enlarged, should be in ev-
ery country printing office in Texas. We
venture the assertion that he is a good far-
mer and a thrifty man. and that his chil-
dren will be intelligent and useful citizens.
Every Friday, when the Staxdakd goes to
press, two little chaps, one eight and the
other ten, eagerly seek one of the first im-
pressions. and intermediately during the
week read the exchanges thrown under tue
table, and take interest in and discuss cur-
rent events, not political, like older

Our gallant friend of the Texarkana
Democrat is at it again—can't help it. In
his issue of last week, he says:
"The Arkansas Press gang, with their
numerous guests, returned via Texarkana
on Thursday morning. Those with whom
we had any interview speak of tin- excur-
sion in terms of praise, but as a rule, they
looked weary and worn and as much need-
ing the cieansing attention of a laundry es-
tablishment. The view of the situation
only attaches to the male part of the party I
—the women looking fresh, clean and rose-!
Itudish."
Our comment "of course" refer* to the'
last line of the extract. Always beautiful. :
are they not Doctor ' Always beautiful to
their enthusiastic devotees, to whom neith- ;
«r time, nor frequency of sight, stales their ,
infinite variety of attractions. There are
hearts that never grow old. and tender
emotions that never lose their freshness.
Is it uoi so Doctor ?
College Station, Texas, May 12,1883.
Col. Charles De Morse : Your let-
ter of the 7th instant asking tor informa-
tion abont the College—"its status at pres-
ent" and "the improvments to be made"
is just received. I am vety glad to see
your contiuued interest in the Institution.
Your editorials in the Standard in be-
half of the College, I think, has helped to
set us fairly before the people, ami has
materially aided iu disabusing the pub-
lic mind of the misrepresentations scatter
ed abroad over the Statu. The College
has done remarkably well, it appears to
uie,iu the face of opposition autl misrepre-
sentation from those whom we had a right
to expect support and encouragement.
Something over three yeare ago there were
about fifty students iu the College—dis-
satisfied and demoralized, and a univer-
sal criticism all over the State against the
ooiiFse and management of the institu-
tion. It was said to be nothing but a Lit-
erary school, no agriculture, no mechan-
ics, and the name was sneered at as a
misnomer. To-day it will compare favor-
ably with the foremost Agricultural and
Mechanical Colleges in the United States,
if you will ta'ko into consideration the
means furnished to us and the various
other State Institutions.
Yon kuow that the general Govern-
ment donated the fund out of which the
Faculty ate paid, and the county of Braz-
os donated 2400 acres of land on which to
locate the College, and the State erected
the buildings and partly furnished them.
Beyond this I think the State has given
about $15,000 for Laboratory, Library5
Machinery for Mechanics Hall and Imple-
nients for farm operations. This, rough-
ly, according to my recollection, is tha
assistance g.anted by the State, while
A. and M. Colleges of the North, even of
much poorer States than Texas iu the
South, have received two, three or lour
times that auiouut annually. The 17th
Legislature appropriated $15,000 to send
State students to the College for board
and actual expenses incurred by the Col-
lege in their support, but that added not
a dollar to permanent improvement or en-
dowment, but was a donation to ninety-
three students who received the beneiit,
and not the College. The Agricultural De
partmenthas been under a gentlemau edit
cated at an institution which has been held
up to us as a model Agricultural Coliege(the
Michigan A. and M. College;) the farm,
garden, orchards, walks, pastures, stock
have received his attention, and be has
been assisted iu his work by laborers,
superiutendant of the farm, students,
Faculty and Directors.
The Mechanical department has been
under a graduate of one of the best tech-
nological institutions in the United Slates.
Machine ships have been built, machin
ery put in place, and a hundred and fifty
students have been at work in wood and
iron etc., almost continually for more than
two years. The Professor has a practi-
cal workman as foreman of the shops to
assist, him in yiviug instruction.
I have never known a man to visit the
College during the session ami make ob
sol vations for himself, but that lie was
surprised at the work being done, and, if
a friend of the College, well pleased.
The Faculty have worked faithfully and
iu silence, not answering the many mis-
iepiescntaiions, but inviting all to come
and see for themselves.
Now that the State has appropriated
$40,000, for the College, I look forward to
much greater success and a bright future.
If the College bas lived and prospered
ami accomplished good results without
assistance, and in spite ol opposition and
criticism,what may not be done with finan-
cial assistance anil a geueious public pat-
ronage and sympathy i
As to what the Directors will do with
the $40,000, appropriated by the Legisla-
tes I cannot say. 1 have been directed
to enclose an additional pasture for stock
of about 500 acres, and to advertise for
300,000 brick. We need one more build-
ing lor dormitory, one machine-shop, nd-
ditonal Laboratory room; and I think fif-
teen or twenty thousand dollars will be
invested in Agricultural implements, ma-
chinery, stock, fencing, etc., to build up
the Agricultural Departments. The Fac-
ulty are united iu their desire to make
this .i. live, useful, successful Agricultur
al Mechanical College. I think I can as-
sure you that all be done with the means
furnished, that earnest, and thoughtful
minds in the Directory and Faculty can
do to make the College a gi eat institution
for Agricultural, Mechanical, Scientific
and Practical education. The College is
in excellent condition now—good health
hard study—general satisfaction. 1
will send the oilicial reports of all the Do
paitments as soon as they are out.
Col. James our able Fresideut lor more
than three years past, has resigned and
gone into other business. We lose his
experience just when it was most valna
ble.

before if you prefer.

Deadwood, D. T.,May 20.—A storm
began here yesterday morning, with the
highest water ever known. A stream
is running through the heart of the city
in a channel cut one hundred yards
wide. Everything went before the flood.
All the towns up the gulch are badly
damaged. Pennington is entirely gone.
The valley is flooded, and half of Spear
Fish is washed away. Creek City is
nearly all gone. The water is now
falling, but there is much snow in the
mountains. Geo. Chandler and wife
and two unknown men are known to be
drowned. The loss is roughly estima-
ted at $(50,000. Rope and basket com-
munication is established between the
two parts of the city.
Lawrenceburg, Ind., May 20.—Yes-
terday morning Susie Hawkins, daugh-
ter of Charles T. Hawkins, committed
snicide by morphine. The inquest de-
veloped the fact that since last October,
Hawkins had been keeping a mistress in
the house along with his wife, and had
abused and beaten his family. After
that, Susie left in October and went to
Cincinnati, got work, returned sick last
Thursday, sought refuge and rest in her
father's house, but was brutally beaten
and driven into the streets by him.
Citizens last night tarred and feathered
Hawkins, drove him from town, and
told his mistiness to leave.
St Louis,May 20.—Additional details
show the tornado Friday night plowed
its way through three counties, Mont-
gomery, Warren and St. Charles. Be-
sides destroying a large amount of prop-
erty, it killed and more or less seriously
wounded over twenty people. The larg-
est destruction wrought was in St.
Charles county, where the storm swept
along south of the Wabash railroad,
leveling to the ground nearly everything
in its path. John Jenkins was killed,
his residence ruined, two sons seriously
and two daughters badly injured. In
the neighborhood of Floristel, Mr. John
Glassfoid was severely and his wife
slightly injured ; also severely wounded,
Wm. Spiers and Ira Sherman. Geo. P.
Strong's houses, out-houses and large
peach orchard were destroyed, his wife
seriously and Miss Strong slightly hurt.
C. C. Allen had all his buildings and
machinery destroyed and stock killed
Dublin, May 17.—James Mullet, Ed.
O'Brien, Ed. McCaffev,Dan'l. Delaney,
Win. Maroney, and Thos. Doyle, all of
wi om pleaded guilty to the charge of
conspiracy to murder, were arraigned
for sentence this morning. The first
6ve were sentenced to ten years penal
servitude, and Doyle to five years penal
servitude. The crown has decided to
bring a criminal charge against McCaf-
frey of having participated in the mur-
der of Burke.
The judge on passing sentence on Jas.
Mullet said : "There is more known con-
cerning you than has been made public.
I believe you were present during the
attack on Juror Field." Mullet answer
ed : "I was not." The judge then ad-
verted to the principal share the prison-
er had taken in organizing the conspir-
acy to murder.
Mathias Brady charged with threaten
ing the foreman of the jury which con-
victed his brother Joe Brady, pleaded
guilty to the charge, but the crown and
person threatened assented to his dis
charge.
Houston, May 19.—Yesterday at
Gray's Bayou, live miles from town, a
farmer named Steinke, while plowing
had his plow stick in the grouud. Go-
ing in front of the plow to disengage it,
he stopped to fix a trace-chain, when
the pair of oxen attached to the plow
became frightened in some manner and
ran away. Steinke was caught by the
point of the plow, thrown down and
dragged across the field by the oxen
The plow lacerated his legs and loins in
a fearful manner, lie expired last night
in great agony. He leaves a wife-and
seven children.
San Antonio, May lfi.—We had the
pleasure to-day of meeting Mr. Edward
T. Mercer, who is visiting San Antonio
in the interest of his health. Mr. Mer-
cer is branch pilot of Aransas Pass, which
position he lias held since 1865. Aransas
Pass, Mr. Mercer says, has now about
eight and a half leet of water. The Mor
gan line ruus in one ship a week laden
\ with Ireight for Corpus Christi and points
i along the southern border and northern
Mexico. The Harrison line of English
steamers also touch at at this point, one
vessel a mouth coming from Liverpool
with foreign goods for Mexico. A Bor-
deaux line of sailing vessels also ruus to
this port, bringing iu foreign goods. The
English and Bordeaux vessels are light-
i ened by three steam lighters belonging to

The usual Sunday quiet of the city was
broken Sunday morning by the report
that C. D. Hutchens, who murdered Wm-
Lyou.on the Bossier side of the river, op.
posite Shreveport, on May 7tn, had been
forcibly taken from the custody of the
parish officials ot Bossier uud hung. It
was known by very few that Hutchinson
had been taken from the Caddo parish
jail,where he had been incarcerated since
the murder of Lyon, aud the first rumor
current was th^t he had been taken from
this jail, a rumor which, ot course, cre-
ated intense excitement. The rumor ver-
ified, bnt corrected as to locality, led hun-
dreds of our citizeus to visit the scene of
lynching.

Men started with their prisoner from the
Caddo parish jail Sunday morning about
5 o'clock, Mr. Burt diiviug the hack aud
Mr. Charles A. Dewing and prisoners oc
cupyiug the back seat thereof. They were
attended by a posse ot citizens, mounted
and armed, who followed the conveyance.
They ciossed the ferry by the first boat,
took the wire or shed road, and had gone
some three or fonr miles, passing under
the shed road, ami had crossed Cockle
burr bridge, aud reached a point 300 yards
beyond, when the vehicle was surrounded
by a large crowd ot masked aud heavily
armed men, some mounted, but most of
them afoot. Under the cover of their
guns they took- the prisoner from the
back, carried hiui about 70 yards from
the road and hung him to a thorn tree,re-
oi iiniug until he was dead, then pinning
the lollowing notice 011 the breast ot the j
corpse, they dis|tersed through the woods

the prisoner and his record.
C. D. Hutchens, the prisoner, was a
tall muscular man, about six feet one inch
iu height, weight uear 210 pounds, dark
auhuru hair, blue gray eyes; he wore a
moustache and chin whiskers. The first
we hear ot him is from a cattle drover
who knew hiiu iu Sulphur Spring*,Texas,
to which place lie came trom Indiana.
Be was a soldier in the federal ariuy, a
fact of which he frequently boasted iu
connection with his avowed killing of sev-
eral men. He came to this place about
three years ago, when work commenced
011 the New Orleans Pacific railroad, and
followed the constructing sections as a
sort of suttler and time speculator. He
returned to Shreveport some six or seven
mouths since, and February 25th he mar-
ried an adopted daughter of James Fet-
teruiau aud made his headquarters at the
store ot the Fettermau's. He engaged
in cattle dealiug and general speculating
in produce. Iu all the places where he
has lived or been eugaged iu business,we
hear that he was overbearing and aggres-
sive, one of his favorite demonstatious
was to threateu the lives ot those who
had incurred his displeasure. On the
Bossier side he was regared with tear and
distrust by the whites and with abject
terror by the colored citizens. He is sus-
pected ot illicit dealings in cattle and cot-
ton together with the Fettermau'b.
the crime.
The murder for which Hutchens receiv-
ed his just reward was committed Mon-
day, May 7th, under circumstances of un*
provoked ami cold-blooded atrocity. O11
the evening mentioned he called Mr. Wil-
liam Lyon, a young man ot most estima-
ble and peaceful character, from the store
of Mr. J. H. Belcher, where he was em-
ployed as a clerk, ami asked a few words
with htm. Lyou stepped out with hiui
and walked some 30 or 40 steps up the
road to a dray, on the lied of which, be-
tween the shafts, he took a seat, resting
his hands on his knees. Hutchens stood
in front ot him, also between the shafts,
and whilst in the these relative positions
Hutchens drew a pistol and fired upon
Lyon, the ball striking in the left breast,
passing through the lower part of the
heart aud out through the back of his
victim. Though shot through the heart
aud mortally wounded. Lyou reached
the store, procured a h.>tguu uud wound-
ed his cowardly and riving assassin, a
bullet from th<- gnu tnking Hutchens to
the hip. Hutchens was arreted and tak-
en in charge by Deputy Si> -rill Deveranx,
of Bossier, who, fearing that the outraged
sentiment of the good people ot Bossier
might try and execute his prisoner with-
out the formality of judge or jury,brought
him to Shreveport aud placed him in the
Caddo parish jail for sate keeping until
his wouud permitted his transfer ui tk<>
jail at Bellevue.
Those who avenged t|ie death of young
t-yon, posted the following notices 011 the
store doors of James and Williams Fet-
teriuau.
inflicting two shallow wounds above the
nipple and two below it. The officer was
struggling with him for the knife in the
tncatinhile. At the last stroke Hutchens
said: "Take the knile, I have all 1 want
of it,'" and throwing himself into the offi-
cers arms, gave him a pocket book con
tattling money and papers and requested
him to give them to his (Hutcheus) wife.
He then said : "I am a <lcad man,1' and
seemed to faint away. The maskers had
then surrounded the hack, and covering
the party with guns and pistols, demand-
ed the prisoner. They took him without
further argument, an.l carrying him out
into the woods, about OO yeads from the
road, strung hun up to a thorn tree. Be-
fore he was hung lie c illeil loudly lor Mr.
Dewing, but the masked men refused to
permit him to a;iproac i the prisoner. On
the way over Hutchens told Mr. Dewing
that two others were responsible with
himself tor the murder, and said if he
was not mobbed he would tell him who
they were, but he was not permitted.
He said he knew that he would never
reach Bellevue alive.—[Shreveport Times.
