^ A GRAVE MISTAKE.
.«-ch has been said of the immunity en-
yed by Galveston, Texas, this year.
Aat city, so often and terribly visited by
the pestilence in former years, has not re-
ported a solitary case of yellow fev" the
present season. The disease hasnoi b -n
epidemic in Galveston since 1*67, a- d aer
Jong exemption is clearly attributaiiie to
the energetic measures adopted by her cit-
izens immediately after the visitation that
year. They raised the grade of the city
in places about four feet, and introduced a
thorough system of drainage. They organ-
ized a board of health—not of politicians,
but of the best physicians of Galveston.
These gentlemen nave taken it upon them-
selves to make of that once filthy, plague-
ridden place, the cleanest and healthiest
city of the far south. The eternal vigi-
lance they have observed in enforcing
strict sanitary regulations in public streets
and private houses has now met with its
great reward. The same agencies which
carried the yellow fever to New Orleans,
Memphis and Vicksburg, and left it there
to its fatal work, threatened Galveston
also; but that city drove it back with her
cleanliness. That is the best, if not the
only, preventive of epidemic yellow fever.
[New York Journal of Commerce.
We, the people of Galveston—who
ought to know better than our distant
critics what to attribute our escape to,
declare that it has been due to our rigid
quarantine. "What has this quarantine
done ? It has enforced, we may say, ab-
solute non intercourse, except under safe
restrictions, with every infected place
since the outbreak of the fever. By the
total prevention of both travel and traffic
with such places the chances of commun-
icating the disease to this city have been
reduced to the fewest and remotest. But
for two or three infractions of quarantine
regulations, which were known to
fcfverybody here, and which were so miti-
gated as to cause little uneasiness, it
could be said that our non-intercourse
has been absolute. The assumed cause
of our escape, assigned by the Journal
of Coirtmerce, is, therefore, not the real
cause, and we combat the error because
it is a dangerous error. There is too
much of human life, happiness and
prosperity at stake to suffer the public
to be ignorantly. carelessly or insidiously
misled as to the true and only effective
means of repelling our country's most
terrible enemy.
The democratic partisans who tbink
ft a burning scandal for Haniman and
the rest of the greenback state ticket to
have the support of such republicans
as ex-Gov. Edmund .7, Davis, see
nothing scandalous for the democratic
state ticket in the laudation of it
by marshal Russell, whose oratorical
and vehement irruption into the state
canvass is one of the phenomenal illus-
trations of president Hayes's civil ser-
vice reform. "VVe do not say that praise
or partiality from such republicans as
Russell is a thing for which judge
Roberts and bis colleagues on the same
ticket are to be blamed. Wc do not
question that the tributes paid them by
this federal official are as just as they
are eloquent. Arguments from acci-
dental acceptability in some par
ticular to men of another party are
seldom entitled to any weight. But we
see no reason why those who hold that
the acceptability of Hamman to Davis
is discreditable to the former, should
exult in Russell's invectives against
Hamman and eulogies of Roberts as
damaging to the former, and to the
honor and advantage of the latter.
Davis, when he and his party were in
power in Texas, was in many respects
a bad and dangerous man. But he was
not a hypocrite and apolitical Pecksniff,
and he never made a special boast of
civil service reform, as Mr. Hayes did
when he commenced organizing the
continental humbug and scandal which
Mr. Ben. Hill does not extravagantly
characterize as a "crime against free
government and civilization."
Tax payers and property-owners in
New York are .making one more effort
against wholesale confiscation. A meet-
ing of merchants, real esatte owners,
and other business men and taxpayers,
was held last week with the object of
uniting in the support of candidates for
municipal offices who are in favor of
cutting down salaries and reducing
taxes, without regard to national poli-
tics. A number of acceptable names
were put into a debating hopper and five
were selected for submission to the dif-
ferent political organizations. People
begin to see that honesty and economy
are quite as important as expressions of
devotion to party, the r-omparison of
war records, or the parade of opinions
about hard money and "liat" money.
Cotton was reduced £c. yesterday
on all grades but good middling. Gold
it gradually getting down to its old
position, and closed at 100$ in New
York. The withdrawal of speculative
support, in anticipation of treasury dis-
bursements for called bonds, is assigned
as one reason for the reaction. Money
is higher in the open money market
at London; an advance in the bank rate
is not improbable, as it is said that the
bank of France contemplates raising its
rate. It is to be regretted that the
rumors of failures in New York did
not take a more tangible shape. Facts
generally do less harm than the rumors.
Ma.joti Oonii/rnEE publishes else-
where in the News a letter which he
has received from senator Maxey rela-
tive iothe intelligent public spirit he has
•iniformly evinced in securing a proper
representation of the interests of the
city at Washington. It is a frank testi-
monial to the major's usefulness in this
respect, and if it is a card in his favor
for sheriff it is one, as politics go. that
he has acquired upon a fair shuffle of
the deck and is entitled to play.
A reduction in the number of jury
trials seems to be desired by those lia-
ble to jury duty, in various parts of the
country, it appears that in Norway
and Sweden jury trials are unknown,
and in Denmark they are rare, while in
England, when difficult cases occur, or
points arise, the parties in the case have
the option of adjudication by the jury,
or by the judge alone. The same op-
tion exists in many states of this coun-
try, and yet juries are in constant de-
mand.
Titf. next state press convention
should consider the question of capital
letters. Some newspaper correspondent
is in danger of getting flogged for spell-
ing quarantine with a little "q." A
leading London paper complains that in
Mr. Gladstone's article on England and
America, queen is spelled with a little
"q" and president with a big "P."
This is treason in an Englishman.
THE NEWS OF THE STATE.
A SENS ATI OX AT WACO.
Death of Dr. Graves—A Coroner's In-
vestigation—Foul Play Suspected—
The Suspicion Dispelled After a
SeaNon of Exciting; Rumors.
[Special Telegram to the News.]
TV.aco, Oct. 15.—In Saturday's special
it was stated that Dr. Graves would re-
cover. Sunday evening violent erysipela-
tous inflammation taking hold upon the sys-
tem, producing utter prostration. He
died at 0 o'clock this morning. His death
creates intense interest, and the city is
rife with wild rumors of foul play, etc.
Prominent among the rumors is one that
Graves had lost four or five thousand dol-
lars; that Mrs. Graves was unfriendly to
her husl>and, etc. A search warrant was
issued yesterday at the instance of S. S.
Darrow; also a warrant for the arrest of
Mrs. G., which will be used if money is
found in her possession. On entering the
house, Dr. G. being so far recovered, he
refused to let it be executed.
The coroner's jury viewed the body at
the house, and adjourned to the court-
room for investigation. Dr. Cooke gave
the following testimony: Was called at 5
a. m. on Saturday; found him in a dying
condition; was satisfied he was dying
from the effects of some kind of opiate:
after four hours a reaction took place,
when the patient showed signs of im-
provement, until he became sensible.
Questioned his attendants al>out his money
and effects, which he placed in his pants
pocket, hanging on his bedpost, it being
$500 in currency and a $3500 sight draft
on New York, which has not been found.
At 10 a. m. Sunday it was suggested that
an examination be made and the money
recovered, but nothing satisfactory has
been elicited from anyone present: the
clothing had been removed to another
room. About o a. m. 011 Sunday, in an-
swer to a direct question, Dr. Graves said
he did not believe his wife had anything
to do with the administration of the poi-
son. He wished Bailie Lewis, his clerk,
to collect the draft for $3500, and give it.
with the $500 in currency, to his wife.
Dr. Graces was known as an agent in the
south for J. C. Ayer & Son, of Massachu-
setts.
Drs. Brown and Buck corroborated
Co >ke in the main.
J. R. Pace testified: Dr. Graves on Fri-
day night revealed to him his fears of go-
ing home, saying that his wife was nis
wi >rst enemy, and he could not remain
with her any longer; he wished to sell out
or make an assignment at once, and leave
for Chicago, where he would procure a di-
vorce; he nad money to pay all his debts,
but could not use it* that way; he would
leave at once, or his life would not be
saved; he was in hourly dread of being
killed.
T. S. Darrow corroborated Pace's testi-
mony.
After partially recovering he was asked
if he knew that he had been poisoned. He
answered, "I will keep my own counsel
until I get out. and then I will talk about
it." Conversations heln with Graves when
he was quite composed and ra-
tional. impelled me to entertain
suspicions of foul play, and make
such suspicions known: 011 Sim-
day morning* Mrs. Graves requested
Pace and Darrow to leave the house, thank-
ing them for past kindnesses, but rebuking
them for making the slanderous reports
about her poisoning her husband, and
threatening them with prosecution for the
same.
The case is not closed. It is believed
there "is a bug under the chip" some-
where. Mrs. Graves is a lady of education
and refinement, and has the sympathy of
the community. Tliis evening she is re-
ported in a critical condition.
later—dr. graves died of gangrene.
Waco, Oct. 14.—It now appears that
Dr. Graves died from the effects of gan-
grene.

Beia ili-e via Brenham, Oct. 14.—The
German fanners' club in the vicinity of
Pincy, in this county, had a fest and bar-
becue on last Saturday, at their usual
grounds about a mile and half from this
place, at which at least 1000 to 1500 persons
were present. Judge Hancock and Col.
Wash Jones were both here on invi-
tation. and each spoke one hour and
a half upon the national issues of
the day. After which the balance of
the day and a large portion of the night
was occupied in dancing upon a platform
extemporized in the open air. The Bell-
ville and Piney brass bands were both
upon the grounds. There was an abun-
dance to eat, and the club deserves great
credit for the manner in which the affair
was gotten up and carried out.
Hancock made one of his best speeches,
and won many friends. Ho was severe in
his dissection of the greenback policy of
his opponent. There are no greenback
clubs in this county.
An unfortunate difficulty occurred dur-
ing the latter part of the night between
Scurry Foster, of this county, and Claus
Umland, of Chappel Hill, in which the
latter lost his life from a pistol shot from
the hands of the former. This is the first
homicide that has occurred in this vicinity
for many years, and the affair is very
mueh regretted by everyone. Both par.
ties are very well connected.

ROUSIX'G THE REPUBLICANS AT
WACO.
JIarshal Russell and Dick Allen
Hold Forth In Rampant Style.
LSpecial Telegram to the News.]
Waco, Oct. 14.
russell
addressed a large audience at the court-
house this evening. Taking off his coat
and rolling up his sleeves, he went for the
democratic financial policy with a vim.
Hard times, he asserts, is not the result of
the want of money, but the want of confi-
dence. The present greenback circulation
being based on gold and silver, issued un-
der republican rule, is all we want. If we
only test the resumption act wo will find
that all parties will be satisfied. The repub-
lican party of Texas is not dead; it has only
been at rest, sleeping, while the republican
state convention t at Dallas and nomi-
nated Norton, an honest conservative, for
governor, and Richard Allen, a colored
man of Houston for lieutenant governor,
who is an honor to his race, and went on
and filled a ticket with such men a-s none
will be ashamed of. But it was another
party which held a convention in Waco,
and in that bod}' was one Hamman, loud-
mouthed in the denunciation of the black
man and the republican party. "Whom did
he meet with ? Negroes and disappointed
office-seekers. Have you fumigated this
hall since negroes and Hamman, with
their friends, had occupied it ? The whole
crowd was composed of office-seekers and
a few respectable colored people, who will
prove a leaven that shall leaven the
whole political lump: and then
such men as Hamman, DeGress, Tracy, &
Co., will be expunged from the body poli-
tic. He said he was a republican,
and was trying to prevent a renegade from
capturing the honest men of the party.
He asked what does Hamman hope to
accomplish by his financial scheme of
issuing absolute money, after the fashion
of Brick Pomeroy, the author of all polit-
cal tomfoolishnes and heresies. He paid
his respects to Gov. Davis in a manner that
was childlike. Allen is now addressing the
audience.
Prof. Wyman is in jail.

[Special Telegram to the News.]
Houston, Oct. 14.—Quite a novel matri-
monial romance culminated here yester-
day. The parties were from Galveston,
and finding some little opposition on the
part of the old folks at home, they fled to
Houston to have the gordian knot tied in
peace. The parties of the would-be happy
pair and two attendants were passed while
en route to Houston by a message over the
wires from chief Jordan, of Galveston, to
marshal Butts, of this city, telling him to
look after the bridal party while here and
see them well cared for. In pursuance to
this forerunner the personnel of the party,
Mr. Lawrence Cowart and Miss Potter,
affianced, and Mr. J. Davidson and wife,
attendants, were met at the depot by the
appointed bridal escort, and conducted to
the police station, where the disappointed
gromi was held in custody and the ladies
immediately released. Mr. Davidson was
formerly of Houston, the agent here of
the American Sewing Machine company,
and among his friends in this city the ac-
tion taken by the authorities to stop the
marriage was censured as altogether too
severe in its effect upon the delicate feel-
ings of the ladies, and in the arrest of Mr.
Davidson and wife, against whom no
charge was lodged. The gentlemen were
escorted back to Galveston this morning
by chief Jordan. The la*lies are still in
Houston, stopping with friends.
Yesterday was a harvest day for street
fights, not less than four having occurred
during the afternoon around the corners
of Main and Preston streets. The actors
were principally drunken roughs, and ap-
peared this morning with black eyes be-
fore his honor.
The Rev. Mr. Lyon, of Galveston,
preached in Christ (episcopal) church Sun-
day. Next Sabbath the pulpit will be
filled by a divine from Sabine. Daily ser-
vices will continue as usual during the
presiding rector's absence.

formance, assisted by young ladies of the

[Special Telegram to the News.!
Dallas, Oct. 14.—The following, from
Keucliler dated Leon Springs, Pecos river,
Oct. 4, nas been received by E. B. Storke,
of this city:
Dear Sir—Your telegram of the 2d inst.,
to Fort Stockton, is received. Think I
comprehend the little game played on me,
and refused to be scalped. My escort,
kindly furnished by Gen. Ord. can only
orevent an Indian scalping on the plains.
Is it possible that I am waylaid politically
in the midst of civilization, and only re-
turn to discover that I have been scaii>ed
at homef That I was nominated at Waco
for commissioner of the general land office,
and did accept that nomination in good
faith, is fully known to all parties; that
my name was placed on the re-
publican ticket at Dallas I knew
nothing of until I received your
dispatch. Have republicans made
selection regardless of politics, and only
with regard to the integrity and fitness of
office? This act may mislead the green-
back party and bring about confusion.
Some may scalp me and stamp me as a
political "demagogue, thus electing Mr.
Walsh, the democratic nominee. Now if
any one thinks me guilty of such a mean
and dirt}* act as to have aided either
directly or indirectly to be placed on the
Dallas republican ticket, I state that he is
not acquainted with me or my character.
As one of the early settlers of Texas I can
safely refer to my past record, which cer-
tainly will bear me out. I hope my
friends will understand me fully.
Votes I do not refuse under
any circumstances. I have not been asked
to accept, consequently I have nothing to
refuse. Before I can hasten in I will have
to draw a line from the southeast monu-
ment of New Mexico to Read Spring, on
the Rio San Francisco, when you may
look for me. Please accept thanks. Re-
spectfully yours, Jacob Keuchler.
With the above letter, judge Norton, re-
publican candidate for governor, was in-
terviewed by Mr. Storke and Col. Wood-
ward, chairman of the third congressional
executive committee of the national green-
back labor party.
Mr. Storke—Did you nominate Keuchler
as a republican on your ticket i
Norton—We did not care anything about
his politics.
Woodward—Were you instructed or re-
quested by Keuchler to nominate him, and
has he accented your nomination?
Norton—No; there has been no commu-
nication with Jacob Keuchler in regard to
nomination that I am aware of, but 1 take
it for granted that if elected he will serve.

JEFFERSON.
Speaking by Hamman, O'Neal and
Culberson.
[Special Telegram to the News.l
Jefferson, Oct. 14.—Gen. Hamman
made a three hours speech to-dav. He
spoke in about the same line of argument
as he has elsewhere, as reported in the
News. He quoted from Calhoun and
others to sustain the creation of absolute
money, and closed by pledging himself to
reforms in the state government, such as
dispensing with unnecessary employes and
exacting^ more labor from those employed.
Capt. H. F. O'Neal followed in about the
same line of argument, consuming the
balance of the day.
Hon. D. B. Culberson is speaking to-
night. He defended the memory of Cal-
houn and Jefferson, and charged that Ham-
man and O'Neal had traduced the illus-
trious dead of the democratic party, and
read from Calhoun's speech of 1837 to show
that the notes of the government, upon
his theory, were only receivable at the
option of its debtor; and from Jefferson,
that an irredeemable currency was
a swindle, and would, by depreciation,
injure the laboring classes more than the
rich. He contended that the 7-30's. were
funded in 1807, before our era of prosperity,
and that there was more money in circula-
tion when the panic came, in 1873, than
there is now. He appealed to the
virtue and patriotism of the people to
spurn communism. Hammanism or moboc-
racy, winch he styled one in spirits.

HAVANA TIDINGS.
Santa Cruz's Insurrection Itfore Se-
rious than Supposed—The Island
Ruined—No News of the Ameri-
can Schooner, with Gonzales and
Suite.
Havana. Oct. 14.—The French steamer
from St. Thomas October 5, has arrived
with further particulars of the insurrec-
tion in Santa Cruz. The insurrection
broke out in the west end of the island,
where three-fourths of the town was burn-
ed and pillaged. The insurgents then tra-
versed the island towards Bassin, but
the arrival of forces from St.
Thomas saved that part of the
island. Sixty-seven sugar estates were
burned. Only nine sugar estates of value
remain. The principal leaders of the in-
surrection have been caught, and are now
undergoing trial. About 900 insurgents
are still scattered about the country. The
insurgents are all negroes. The cause of
the insurrection was short payments of
wages, and refusal of the authorities to
give passports to negroes.
Santa Cruz was declining rapidly, and
the island, therefore, is totally ruined.
The merchants of St. Thomas lost heavily
by the insurrection.
"Advices from Santa Domingo to the 30th
of September say nothing of the American
schooner Jordan L. Mott, carrying ex-
president Gonzales and twenty-two of his
tollowers to Cureacoa. It is "feared they
perished in the severe hurricane which
swept the south coast.
News from Santa Domingo to 3d of Sep-
tember says the presidential elections will
be held the 1st, 2d and 3d of October.

copy of a notice from the military author-
ities charged with the defense of the port of
Odessa, saying that, in view of facilitating
the passage of vessels in the port of Odes-
sa, apart of the roads had been cleared
from torpedoes, which denied its entrance.
Captains of vessels entering the port
must enter without a pilot, leaning guard
at their right in going in, to the left in
coming out. Ingress and egress is pro-
hibited before sunrise and after sunset:
they are likewise forbidden to anchor at
any point on the line extending between
the little fountain and the jetty at the
head of quarantine. They should also re-
tard their march, and pay attention to
their buoys, which are not yet removed,
and which might injure the screws of
steamers.

Collector Woodcock, writing to the in-
ternal revenue office, from Nashville, 9th
inst., reports a big raid progressing. He
says Jackson county is apparently in
vincible. My raiders can march through
the county and receive fire from the enemy
from every hill top. They may return
the fire, but the nature of the ground is
such that no arrest of armed violators can
be made. A skirmish took place between
12 and 15 of my men and 40 or 50 law-
breakers, on Friday. It is probable
that forty of the latter are killed, one
mortally injured, and one slightly. An-
other skirmish occurred on the same day,
and it is thought another law-breaker was
killed. So far nine illicit distilleries have
been deetroyed and seven distillers arrest-
ed, and their machines bound. This is the
first big raid of my administration. I am
convinced that nothing can conqner Jack-
son comity but to camp there with a large
force and remain there for months.

Vienna, Oct. 13.—The Review repeats
the announcement that Austria will pro-
ceed to Novi Bazar at the proper time,
regardless of the protest of Turkey, but
adds that for the moment it is necessary
to extend the occupation beyond its bound-
ary line.

has been definitely relieved of the duties
of minister of finance.
London, Oct. 13.—A Constantinople dis
patch to the Reuters says the Porte has
received information that the Russians
have recommenced marching on to
Adrianople, presumably from the north.
All the foreign military attaches have left
Constantinople. To verify this intelli-
gence Prince Lobanoff starts for Adriano-
ple 011 Monday. A later dispatch reports
tliat the Turks occupied Thabasky, when
it was evacuated by the Russians. Todle-
ben now summons the Turkish com-
mander to withdraw from the place,
threatening to take it forcibly. Safvet
has consequently ordered its evacuation,

London, Oct. 14.—In the Reuter dis-
patch from Constantinople on the 13th de-
claring that the porte had received inform-
ation that the Russians had recommenced
marching on to Adrianople, the interpo-
lated words, " Presumably from the
north," are erroneous. The dispatch,
whether accurate or not, was undoubtedly
intended to convey the impression that the
Russians had resumed the evacuation of
the peninsula. The Telegraph's Constan-
tinople dispatch says: Military authorities
expect that the Russians will retire from
their present positions, but will find a
pretext for another halt south of Adrian-
ople : that they intend to evacuate
Adrianople is | not believed. Popular agi-
tations are being promoted in Adrianople
to prevent the Russians from leaving.
The Times, referring to the rumored agi-
tation in Bulgaria, for tho election of the

WOMAN'S WARFARE.
Tits* Katie Hutching* ITfakes a
Statement Con«-erniiic; the Assault
1 pon Her by 31rs. Louis Psayla.
Yesterday a reporter was sent for by
Mrs. Hutchings. who desired that the
statement of her daughter be taken for
publication lest the insinuations already
afloat might seriously injure the young
lady's character. Accordingly, a reporter
went to the residence, where he was met
bv Mrs. Sylvester, the married sister of
Miss Katie Hutchings. She desired to
make the following statement: Some three
weeks ago the little son of Mrs. Psayla
came to her house and asked her to come
to his mother's house. As the boy repre-
sented that the call was urgent she imme-
diately went, and found Mrs. Psayla in a
most excited frame of mind. She imme-
diately began to s}>eak of her husband in
the liarshest ternis. associating his name
with Miss Katie Hutchings and others,
whom she called by every name the English
language could furnish. She desired that
Miss Hutchings should be sent around to
her, intimating that she had some work
she would give her. This ruse was too
plain, and Mrs. Sylvester did not send her
sister for fear of some injury Mrs. Psayla
might do her. Some short time afterward
Mrs. Psayla again sent for Mrs. Sylvester,
and renewed her request that Miss Hutch-
ings should visit her. Becoming alarmed
at the ]>ersistence of Mrs. Psavla. Mrs.
Sylvester warned her sister, and |hoj)ed in
this way to avert trouble.
The reporter next went into the room
where Miss Katie Hutchings was lying in
bed. She is much bruised about the mce,
the wound on the right forehead present-
ing a fearful appearance. She made a
very clear, coherent statement with re-
gard to the facts in the case. She had
only known Mrs. Psavla under the follow-
ing circumstances. 'There is a poem in
Phoenix fire company No. 2 house which
was either composed or copied by Mr.
Sam Wilson, her adopted fatner, who is at
present in the Austin lunatic asylum. She
desired to obtain this poem and addressed
herself to Mr. Psayla, who is foreman of
the company, asking that he would secure
the same for ner. He stated that nothing
could be done until a meeting of the com-
pany should be held, but that as soon as
that occurred he would do his best to pro-
cure the poem. Several weeks afterward
she again mot him upon the streets, in
company with his little son.and asked if the
company had taken any action. He re-
plied they had had no meeting, and thus
the matter ended. This was the whole of
her acquaintance with Mr. Psayla.
On the moming of the assault she had
been on some business down town, and in
going to the postoffiee happened to pass by
Mrs. Psayla's residence. Mrs. P. accosted
her in a very amiable manner, full of
smiles and kind words, and asked her to
come in. She would have done so without
any misgiving, but recollecting the warn-
ing of her sister, 6he declined the invita-
tion. Mrs. Psayla continued the conversa
tion at the gate in the most frank and
easy manner, saying at last, ;i let us sit on
the gallery." So completely had she been
disarmed of her fears that she accepted
the invitation, but in a trice, as soon as she
was upon the gallery, Mrs. Psayla caught
her by the hair, hindering her screams by
placing a hand upon her mouth, and drag-
ged her into the house. She then threw
her upon the floor and beat her
most unmercifully until she got
a toilet bottle in her hand, and with that
dealt her the cuts upon her forehead. Mrs.
Psayla then remarked that she was willing
to hang for the deed, and went out to get
a scissors or hatchet, with which to con
summate her work. This gave Miss
Hutchings a chance for escape, which she
availed herself of and rushed to the street.
The above is given in justice to the young
lady. who. it will be remembered, could
