liaiu Johnson a negro boy 17 years
of age Vuiag near New Salem this
couaty on July 10th attempted to
outrage the little 4-year-old daughter
of ilr. Charles Riddle living in that
n.ii'jhborhood. Johnson was arrested
immediately and quickly brought to
this city and jailed to avoid lynching.
Ar. 2 o'clock this morning
au armed party of unknown
H-rsons assembled at the jail. Sheriff
McCord who lives near was awaken-
ed and asked to come immediately to
tlio jail where they had a prisoner
The sheriff on his appearance not sus-
pecting the presence of a nob was
quickly overpowered and told to hand
over the keys as they wanted Johnson.
Kesistance proved in vain. The keys
were taken from him aud entrance to
the jail was effected. Johnson
was quickly taken to a tree near the
public square in front of the Baptist
church and twung off into eternity.
The body was taken down soon after
the tragedy but life had become ex-
tinct. On his shirt was pinned the
following warning:
"Take warniug! This is for an .t
tempted rape.''
The wildest terror rclgued in the
jail at the time Johnson was taken
out. Several more persons were in at
the time and all thought their time
had come. Among them was another
negro charged with the same crime.
The fact of his presence was not known
to the mob as he had just been put in
the night before or doubtless he too
would have shared the same fate.

screams of the children and went at

siibtrensury plan here today. Mr.
Tracy opened with an hour and a half
speech in favor of the subtreasury
plan in substance about a 4 the one de-
livered by him at Bonham Judge
Moore replied denouncing the leaders
of the subtreasury as traitors to the
Democratic party as being members
of the third party and trying to di
vide the Democratic party in the in-
terests of the Republicans. He de-
clared the subtreasury plan to be
class legislation in order that
a few migut borrow money
at a low rate ot interest aud release it
to others at a hi zher rate. He com-
pletely annihilated the Cincinnati
platform lie denounced the high
protective tariff aud advocated the
tree coiuage of silver.
Judge Moore made a noble speech
in behalf of the principles of Democ-
racy and was applauded on every
haud. even Mr. Tracy himself ad-
mitting that Judge Moore was one of
the ablest men in Texas and had made
the strougest speech against the sub

THEY WERE ALIVE
TWO STRANGE LOOKING
OBJECTS AND WHERE
THEY BLEW IN FHOM.
Narrow Escape of Two Prominent Hour-
tonians From Being Devoured Alive
By a Marauding Brlndle Cow
With a Tukte for Greens.
Late yesterday afternoon two Strang
looking objects appeared on Congress
avenue. They were astride of bicycles
and evidently alive but were so un-
canny in appearance so outlandish in
attire that the electric car manifested
a disposition to run away and Chief
Lucy blew his whistle and appealed to
Major Burbanks of artillery to stand
by him with his battery in case
of need. The Mexican tamale
man on the corner fell
on his knees and crossed himself
and the summer girl uttered a timid
shriek and clung with a death grip to
the inanlv arm of the nearest commis-
sioned officer with curl paper mus-
tachios. An old negro got out his
hoodoo bag and began muttering an
incantation and the crowd stood in
that silent awe which follows a homi-
cide. Finally Officer Cato mustered
up courage to tackle the two specters
aud pulled them into a neighboring
cafe tor inspection just as the band
struck up "Johnny Get Your Gun"
and the Houston Light Guard began
to form a hollow square. It was
soon learned that the strange objects
were none other than J. L. Watson
chief conspirator ot the Houston Post
and Fred Dumble of the Talmagian
whiskers. A rigid cross-examination
brought out the fact that they had
gone from Houston to Lampasas with
their bicycles chained up in the bag-
gage car and from there had "wheeled"
it to Austin. They were "gotten up
regardless." with knickerbockers sur
cingles flannel shirts with rolling
collars etc. and the trip begun under
the happiest auspices. Everything
gave them the right of way. Farmers
en route "tu town" ran their
teams across ditches and through
barbed wire fences when they
saw them coming and thanked
heaven that they had escaped with
their lives. The great drawback to
the trip wa9 the resistance which
the ozone offered to Fred's whiskers.
It was not used to that style of hirsute
appendage and refused to dawdle
through them in a familiar manner.
Finally they went into camp for the
night and decided to wash their
clothes in the brook that babbled by.
They did so and spreading them on
the bushes to dry lay down to peaceful
dreams. While they slept a prowling
brindle cow came nosing about seeking
wnat she mignt devour and proceeded
to make a lunch of the silk surcingles
and had just begun on the knicker-
bockers when J. L. muttered in his
sleep: "The Post will give
tne eartn and a red strin
to swing it by to the
most popular gum chewing summer
girl in Texas. Send in vour votes."
The brindle cow dropped the knicker-
oocKers witn tne alacrity or a tramp
printer relinquishing a bowl of water
when asked- to "take suthin." Why
should she fill her internal economy
with old stockings and brass pants
buttons wnen more toothsome proven
der was to be had? She licked her
chops uttered a low moo of satisfac
tiou and started forward. That cry of
uengnt saved tne sleepers. Tuey
sprang to ttieir reet with a cry of hor-
ror and with the narratives of their
nether garments streaming wildly in
the wind made a break for tall tim
ber. They were savedbut their gaudy
apparel was ruined.
"Praise le to him whose wondrous skill
Has conquered every human ill-
Ami now alone us victor stands
Tho 'Golden' compound of his hands."
So spake a man with tribute crowned
Of Dr. Pierce the "world-renowned"
Whose "Medical Discovery"
Had vanquished pain and set him free.
One can but speak in praise of a
remedy so effectual and unfailing as
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. Acting promptly and
thoroughly it produces permanent
cures. Consumption in its early stages
scrofula liver and kidney disorders
and all blood diseases are within the
hold of its unbounded success.
Electricity and Litigation.
Jv'kw York July 23. In the United
States circuit court this morning
Judge Wallace allowed an appeal of
the United States Electric Lighting
company iu the Edison lamp case and
entered an order suspending the in-
junction so as to leave the United
States compuny free to manufacture
and sell lamps to its customers. The
United State company is to rile a bond
of $50000 within ten days.

ualist college there.

Killed by the Cars.

west-bound freight train on the South-
ern Pacific' Conductor Betters and
Engineer Sullivan at Noouan struck
a Mexican named Francesco Rubia
and killed him instantly. The acci-
dent occurred near Noonan a few
miles west of here. Rubia was walk-

it coming and attempted to step out
of the wav. He did not get far
enough and was knocked ten feet.
Caa't Too Catch On
To a known means of overcoming that ob-
stinate disorder constipation? Of course yon
can. Then why don't you? Ask those who
have tried it and they wUl toll that Hostetter'a
Stomach Bitters is a matchless laxative
-effectual without violence thoroughly alter-
ative but perfectly reliable. It invigorates
too no less than it regulates the system and
it is chiefly to this first quality that it owes the
permaneucy of its regulating effects since
if vigor is lacking in tho region of the bowels
the stomach or the liver htallhful activity
in those organs is suspended. Deobstruents
and cathartics In general are simply that
and nothing more; they relax the bowels
merely without invigorating them and as their
laxative action is usually abrupt and violent
they really tend to weaken the organs. Use
the Bitters also for malaria rheumatism
indigestion debility and kidney trouble.

A Very fretty Aggregation
of Piebiters.
Philadelphia Pa. July 24. The
committee of the council that is in-
quiring into City Treasurer John
Bardsley'g malfeasance in the office
and officers of the wrecked Keystone
National bank met this afternoon. A
uuinber of witnesses have been bub-
naiuaed. including editors and pub
lishers of papers that are alleged to
have paid 40 per cent rebate to Bards
ley on public advertising and Auditor
General Camant who is alleged to
have received a share of the rebate.
Wm. H. Kimball aud Wm. L. El-
kins traction railway magnates testi-
fied as to their connectiou With Bards-
ley in certain transactions in stock
They showed that they had loaned;
Uarasiey money witn wlncn to buy
Philadelphia and Chicago traction
shares.and that he had closed the deal
at a proiit. As far as they knew he
had not used any public money in the
transaction. This McCaumut. auditor
general of the state who with Bards
ley had control of the letting of the ad-
vertising of the mercantile appraiser's
list to be published iu f.ur newspa-
pers of Philadelphia also testified.
R ports of experts who examined
Barusley's books recently showed
that a check had apparently beeu sent
to Mr. McCamant for $1.41-1.49 being
one half of the rebate of 40 per cent on
over $40000 worth of advertising paid
by the four newspapers in 18'JO.
McCamant. denied emphatically that
he ever received directly or ii.oiretly
one penny of thi money. He also
denied that various sums credited on
the stubs of Bardsley's check book to
Me" bad ever been received by him.
He stated thac the advertising busi
ness had been transacted through Capt.
II. W. Griffin who had for a number
of years beea employed in the audi-
tor general's department and who
had charge of such matters. Witness
had reason io believe thatarebute
was paid for the reason that Capt
Griffin had intimated to lriu that cer
taiu political debts had to be paid and
that they were settled in this wav.
He also understood that newspapers
that aid not get aa verti.sing were taken
care of by those that did get it. Capt.
Griffin died in 1890 and McCamant ex-
pressed his sorrow that he was not
alive now so that he could himself ex-
plain his connection with the unpleas-
ant business.
After McCamant had left the stand
and room Committeeman Etting state?
that notwithstanding the auditor
general's denial it had been his lEt-
ting's) intention to examine him u;joii
certain documentary evidence in his
possession but uoou advice from the
district attorney that it would be un-
wise to makea public disclosureof tho
contents of the documents at this time
he had refrained from questioning
witness.
Clayton McMichael of the North
American Robert J. Cook of the
Press William P. McCulIy of the Bul-
letin Edward Morwitz of the German
Democrat proprietors or managers of
papers alleged to have paid the re-
bates on the mercantile appraisers'
list of advertising were sworn last.
Their testimony was to the effect that
they would not get advertising with-
out paying a commission of 10 per
cent to the person bringing it to theai
and as they could print the matter and
niane a proht after paving the
commission they did so as a matter
of business. None of them had any
kuowledge that the commission was
to go either to Bardsleyor the audit-
ing general. Cook admitted that
Capt. Griffin was the man to whom he
paid the commission. When asked
who got the commission in 1891. Cant.
Griffin having died in 1890 Mr. Cook
declined to reveal the name saying
that the person was not a public offi
cial and it would be unfair to make
nis name public. McCulIy also ac-
knowledged that Capt. Griffin was the
man to whom he paid the commission.
The committee then adjourned.
