MARX & KEMPJVEU
Galveston, Texas, July 10, 1882.
The rumor having gained credence that Mr.
SAMUEL STRASBURGER had reasons for aban-
doning Galveston, leaving his friends to assume
that he was drowned, I beg to state that no such
reason existed as far as known to me, and certaiu-
ly none that in any way relates to his business.
All the property intrusted to his care, together
with his own, has been found, upon investigation,
to be intact, with not a paper or dollar missing,
either of his private papers or those of the flrpi-
I am satisfied that the above facts, taken in con-
nection with the circumstances of his drowning,
which I have had thoroughly Investigated, war-
rant mo in stating that such rumors do great
injustice to the memory of a man who was always
upright and honest in all matters.

LSpecial Telegram to The News.l
Palestine, July 13,-rPalestine uever before wore
weeds of mourning so sorrowful and so heartfelt
as the city did to-day, when the remain- of poor
D. J. Healey, late in charge of the International
telegraph lin^s, were carried to their last restinsc-
piace. His terrible and sudden death at the hands
of Conductor Cook, had touched every heart here
where fur years he had been so well and so
lovingly known. Every business house in the tow:s
was closed, the telegraph deparment of the Inter-
national draped in m'turning, the In-ernational
offices and repair shop abut down, and from his
old re iue ce ia tne pleasant h:-me of kindly ^rs-
Bro 'k*. 'he lareest funeral cavalcade that Ander-
son count.- ever saw followed rhs remains to the
Crave Th • s«-r-ioes were - mple and impressive.
The Rev. Mr. F.»les. of t^e Congregational church,

man's friend-, an '• ^poko th jm in a wav that for
elo'iuft-.ce and to- ch.ag t- udernet»s has never beea
approached in Pale.< ;ne. And then there was the
creaking of c_»rd , 'he dull fall of clav, and all that
was., .rrh.v o- the kind-hearted youug fellow was
commuted to his mo.her earth.

Houston, July 13.—At 1 o'clock to-day a sharp
wind blew up from the northwest, filling the streets
with clouds of dust, and running all pedestrians in
doors. A heavy storm seemed imminent for a few
minutes, but soon rain began to fall, and the pros-
pect of a blow was washed away. Heavy rain fell
during the afternoon, and is very much needed by
the agricultural interests of the county. Several
faimers in from Fort Bend county to-day say they
are suffering very much for v. ant of rain there. H|
The directors of the Pomological and Horticul

the rather unencourasing attendance extended by
our people, the association would by Its receipts
likely defray all expenses attending the exhibi-
tion and have a small » lrpius left. It is very
much to be regretted tn^t our people espoused
so feebly such a worthy institution of our city.
The ladies of the Methodist church, who managed
the festival in the hall, cleared about $40 on their
venture. Mrs. Littig, Mrs. J. M- Cotton, Mrs.
Werlein an.'. «. * or two other married ladic-s

and apDrove of his course in the appoint-
ment of Federal officials in Texas. Regret
is expressed to see a tendency, particularly in the
South, to make the Republican party a mere
agency to secure political fortune to its ambitious
local leaders. They believe it essential to the suc-
cess of the liberal movement in the Stite that
some independent and progressive man should
lead it. The supreme question in Texas politics is
the maintenance of a general, unsectarian free
school system, supported by a more liberal appro-
priation^ the public! revenue. They denounce
the miserly spirit of the present State administra-
tion, which they say boasts of an immense cash
balance while we have the shortest kcolastic age
of any State in the Union. None of the Federal
office-holders participated in the convention. Sev-
eral white Republicans claim that the convention
to-lay was a farce, and that It did not reflect the
sentiments, nor was it represented by the reputa-
ble Republicans of the county. Another conven-
tion will probably be held in a few days.

The comptroller rules that county attorneys are
not entitled to commissions on the amount of
license tax paid by a party who may have been
a rested for pursuing occupation without license
if the offender pays to the tax collector before the
arrest and exhibi s receipt of the tax collector.
The effect of further criminal proceedings in
these cases is the offender pays costs of suit and
fees of the county attorneys, but the license tax
paid the collector is no part of the money col-
lected by su.t.
Appli jations have been presented to the comp-
troller to refund to liquor dealers the amount of
tax due them on unexpired licenses in a county
where they were prevented from continuing busi-
ness during the full term on account of the adop-
tion '.f iocxl optiou. The coinptioiler has decided
that the relief extends only to such liquor dea.ers
as may have taken out licenses after March 11,

know that that account was one of the accounts
passed on by the court or presented to the court
for approval, ii', in f. ct, ibat account was before
the court when the others were approved on the

its orders approving other accounts. When the
account, were delivered co him at a late hour that

burn accounts being mentioned by one of his

LSpecial Telegram to The News.1
San Antonio, July 13.—The Thompson-Harris
case is still the talk of the city, and its every phase
is keenly watched. This morning his attorneys,
Messrs. Geo. F. Pendexter, of Austin, and J. A.
and N. O. Green, of San Antonio, had a long and
earnest consultation with him. The result being
a determination to wave the preliminary examina-
tion and bring the whole case up under a writ of
habeas corpus before Judge Noonan. The argu-
ments in support of which will come on,
and the case be heard on the y5th in-
stant. Meanwhile Tnoinpson has been com-
mitted to prison without, the option of bail.
The line of defense is not yet given, bu I am told
there is one and that it will put a different pha-e
on the case. The Times savs Harris's death i but
little regretted except by the gamblers and prosti-
tutes, among whom he was universally popular,
and the universal verdict is, aside from all morbid
sentiment, that the death of Harris is a blessing to
our city, and I myself can testify that the tragedy
causes far less indignation than I had expected.
The Light says that had Thompson shot the mayor
or Parson Neil, that he would have been hanged
by an outraged community without the interven-
tion of the terms of law, and I think the Light liss
illustrated the feeling correctly and given exactly
the reason. There is no danger of Thompson being
lynched, ana he will be assured a fair trial, al-
though I do not think he will get any favor, if be
is acquitted I believe it will be on a bro-id vie w of
the facts in all their bearings and the further facts
to be revealed by tne defense which are
promised. Harris's saloou is reopened.
Billie Sims has given bond as temporary admin
istrator, and Joe Foster ajid K. D. Dyer are '»onds-
men. The men were afl associated with Harris
when he was alive.
A court-martial is expected to meet at San An-
tonio ou the 17ttv The following is the detail for

LITILE ROCK.
The Tornado at Texarknna—Names of
Some of the Killed.
[Special Telegram to The News.1
Little Rock, July 13.—Further particulars of
the dreadful calamity wrought by the cyclone at
Texarkana last night, were received to-day. The
s.orm is described as being a vertical tornado, ac-
companied by torrents of rain and thunder and
lightning. It broke ou the place at 6 last evening.
At that hour the sky was overcast and a strange
vivid darkness prevailed. Rain fell in torrents,
the lightning illuminated the scene with unearthly
splendor, aud p^als of thu der hook buildings
almost from their foundations. The inhab-
itauts were astir, filled with terror, dread-
ing they knew not what. Between 7 and
8 o'clock a large three-srory brick build-
ing, belonging to O. L. Ghio, and partially
completed, was struck by lightning and demolish-
ed. The nails fell upon and crushed a saloon and
gambling house, in which had gathered between
fifty and sixty persons. The announcement of the
disaster passed swiftly all over the place, and,
desipte the storm, an immense crowd of peo ole
gathered around the fallen building searching ror
relatives ana friends, or trying to learn the
tent of the appalling disaster. The lights in the
crushed structure set tire to the debris,
and the peril of a widespread nonflagra-
tion and consequent cremation of scores of
dying and suffering unfortunates was added to the
horrors of the scene. By herculean efforts ©r the
citizens the flames were extinguished, not, how-
ever, until two or three buildings had been de-
stroyed. The work of searching for tbe bodies of
the killed and wounded was commenced as quickly
as possible aud is still going forward at this hour.
A great crowd is gathered around the crushed
bui.ding, the town being in mourning aud business
almost entirely suspended. At this writing
about twe ty oead bodies, together with
many woun^e^, have been taken out" of the
ruins, and b fore morning it is thought at
least thirty-five persons will have been recovered.
Tne de d, when f u d, presented a sickening
s g t, the bodies being generally mangled, charred
a d crushed. The friends of the ^lain, as they
re -og izod the dead, made the air ring with cries
of agony, and the scene w*s affecting and heart-
rending in the extreme. The list of dead: Colonel
S J, Mercer, S. S. Harper, W. B. Russell, M. J.
May field, Thomas Hall, Jos. L avis, H. Russell. J.
S. Smith, A. Clemtfleld and some ten others. The
bulk or the latter are railway emploj'es. I» is
said amoug the dead is Thos. Hall, a well-known
engiueer on the Iron Mountain road. The latest
e timates place ths loss of property bv the storm
at $20,000. No lives, so far as can be learned to-
night, were lost in any part of town other than
these recorded.

about 7 p. m. Ghios's new building, a large three-
story brick, almost completed, was struck by
lightning and fell in a mass on top of a fram«>
building known a* the Paragon saloon, burying
everything beneath the ruins. It was rainiut; in
lorrents at the time, and there were heaw show-
ers until about 10 p. m. The lamps ia the Paragon
set fire to the ruins from underneath. Every man
aud waterbucket in town was brought into use and
water was thrown on the fire, but it finally broke
out beyond all coutroland burned two frame but d-
ings next to the Paragon. It is impossible to give
the exact number burned in the ruins. Two or
three different parties who came out of 1 he Para-
gon only a few minutes before the accident, say
there were at least thirty persons in the building.
The remains of Msyfleld, one of the proprietors,
and another man aud a boy have been taken out

batteries facing the sea destroyed and gun-, dis-
mounted. An Arab informed me that many hun-
dred persons were killed. Between Adjeini and
Alexandria an explosion occurred in the middle of
a fort killing everybody inside. The ligat-hou e
will probably sjon fall. Arabs in:ormed me that
the n .i-aa of falling shells was like thunuer. aud
i hey declared that hundreds of people were killed
iu distant stree s. They stated that tbe obstinacy
of the defense was owing to the fact that the bat-
t+-r es were manned by negro Mahoram_-dans.
They estimate the loss of li;e amo^g soldiers and
town folks at 2000.
The British Gunners Criticised.
London, July 13.—The Daily Telegraph corre-
spondent with th- fleet off Alexandria says the
forogn naval officers witces-ing tne combat ex-
pre->s the opinion that, with the exception of the
'femoraire and the gunboats, the Engtuh ships
hsve not distinguished themselves verv greatly as
artillerists. Many snetl-. fro-n the M narch. In-
vincible and Superb fell seriously short. Nearly
haif the missiies seemed to fail iu the water. The
guv.8 wer-r likewise served ver> slo.vly, giving ths
Egyptians time to recover from their surprise and
regain courage. Foreign officers think that lighier
guus, more quickly -erved, would have ended the
uction sooner. They gi.e the v alm to Lord Chan,
Beresford, ou the Condor, who. under a heavy
Tire, maneuvered admirably, i'.fllcting heavy loss.
Further Details.
London, July 13.—A Daily News dispatch, from
off Alexandria, says before the bombardment re-
commenced, Admiral Seymour senc the Bittern,
under a fl ig of truce, to demand the surrender of
the forts, for the purpose of avoiding further bom-
bardment, but withou result.
All reports confirm previous statements as to
the manner in which th« Egyptians worked their
guns, until thev were fair;y bl wn from the bat-
teries by the explosion o' shells. The Monarch
llred 200 heavy shells, and 6000 pounds of shot, from
machine guns. There was some splendid scientific
firing, and the official reports of ihe first practical
trial of modern fighting ships, will be records of
tne utmost value. Some n uses in fort Mex,
apparently of c anerete, withstood the fire of the
Heaviest guns of the Monarch.
Tbe correspondent of the Standard telographs
from on board of tbe Invincible, at 8 a ra. yester-
day. chat the admirai summoned the captains of
the flee, to a consultation. The result of their
delioeration was a decision that the sea was too
heavy for serious opera; ions. Tne rolling or the
iron-clads would unsettle their aim, and tne town
might suffer from the shot flying too high. Ad-
miral Seymour deferred their in'ended attack on
the Marauout forts, but directed the Temeraire
and Inflexiole to watcn the Ras-el-Tia and Ada
torts. A- 10:-j0 tne Tenieralr<i signaled that par-
ties of soldi jr.s w re at work at t..e hospital bat-
tery near Fort Ada. Two iron-clads opened lire.
Only six rounds o shot and shrapnel were flred.
All took effecr, ihe piacdce being excellent.
The tioops engaged ou the work ac onco aban-
doned it, and the firing ceased. A white flag was
now hoisted at the l.ghtnouse. The Bittern was
sent to inquire the iu><*u ions of the government.
A . ter sh nad s earned otf .he Temeraire made the

At 3 o'clock the BItteru was seen steaming out
of the harbor. As she came out she signalled
that neg tiatlons had failed. I have accordingly In-
formed the authorities «u shore that yon will ear
gag>i the batteries ar. half-pa * 3 from this it
see ns as if tne officer and staff observed in tha
hospital battery, finding themselves In a danger-
ous position and usable to escape, had sinsply
hoisted a flag of truce to get out of the fire. There
was great indignation expressed that five hours
s louid have been wasted ia abortive negotiation,
while meanwhile the ssvell had increased so much
that ;f fire from the vessels were resumed, it
would be ineffective.
At 3;30 p. ». the Bittern arrived alongside.
Lieutenant Lauiberton reported that the evident
object of hoiiting the flat: of truce was to gain
time. When the Bittern went in large bodies of
troops were evacuating the barracks behind tbe
forts, going out in full marching order. The min-
isters had no proposals. Lieutenant Laraberton
iu ormed them that he had come not to offer them
conditions, but to receive proposals. He informed
them that we did not consider ourselves at war
with Egypt, but fort Mex must be occupied by
cur t roops and fort Marabout be de&troved. They
replied that fort Marabout h id already been
evacuated, but that they o._.uld not give any defi-
nite answer in regard to the Mex fort. Finding
that no ag:e#*TH- nr was likely, and being unwdling
to waste further time, Lieutenant Lambert >u
left. The military governor conducted
the conversation. He was in command
diring the action of yesterday. Ke
adtu.tted that the troops hat' suffered heavy losses.
Lieutenant Lamb-r on informed b m tha" should
ce agred to terms, the troops wou'd be allowed to
evacuate the forts with their rifle- and all the hon-
ors of war. but unless these terms were complied
witn. no negotiations could be entered upon. As
th • Bittern steamed out, the Egyptians hauled
down the flag of truce.
In the khedive's palace there is a large gap
caused bv a shell. The harem palace is completely
gutted. The br.m- ardmeni has euidentiyproduced
a great moral effect upon the military officers with
whom Lieutenant Lamberton conversed.
Since his arrival here, the admiral has had an
anxious time, but in the unanimous opinion of the
officers of the fleet he has conducted the difficult
negotiation with tact, judgment and dignified
firmness, while the manner in wnich he arranged
yesterday's action proves his high capabilities for
command. From beginning to end there w s nop
a single hitch or the slightest confusion. Every-
thing had been arranged and foreseen. Each ship
knew exactly what to do and did it.
