Fifth Annual Special Edition,
September 1, 1883,
With Complete Chart of the Railwat
System op the State and Its
Connections.
t
On the 1st of September next the fifth
annual special edition of The News—eight
pages, sixty-four columns—will be issued from
the office of the establishment. The increasing
favor with which succeeding special editions
have been received is an assurance that they
are of value in making known the rapid develop-
ment that is taking place iu Texas, and in pre-
senting a condensed but griphic delineation of
the splendid resources of the State.
The coming publication will partake of the
best features of its four immediate predeces-
sors, care being taken to look after the impor-
tant subject of tlie value of the State's export-
ed products. To secure this, The News has
been afforded, as in years past, access to the
best records kept within tho State. The ser-
vices of a corps of special writers have been
secured, each master of his subject, who will
contribute to the interest and value of the
coming edition. While new methods will
be employed to render th% edition attractive,
the main idea pursued in previous publications
will be kept strictly in sight. The work will
be devoted purely to a review of the State
at large. It is designed to cover the re-
sources of Texas in their multifarious forms,
together with a minute history of railroad
development as a prime factor in the State's
progress. The special edition to be issued on
the 1st of September next will cover a wide
scope of research. No portion of the State
will be neglected. The character and worth
of previous publications of the kind will serve
to guarantee the value of that of September
next.
Orders for the coming special edition have
already been received that point to a circula-
tion of immense proportions. As usual a copy
will be sent to each regular subscriber to the
Daily aud Weekly News. The circulation
of the edition will consequently cover the en-
tire State, while many thousands will be cin
lated throughout the North, South, East and
West, aud in Europe, by corporations and
individuals interested in the State and its
progress.
A limited space will be reserved for special
advertisers, who will find the medium offered
a more than ordinarily valuable one.

Tho American Consul's Office at Mon-

Shaw Severely Seaten.
[Special Telegram to The News.l
Laredo, July 17.—Dr. Campbell, American
consul at Monterey, arrived in Laredo on
Sunday morning, the 15th instant, leaving
the American consulate in charge of the Rev.
Mr. Shaw during his absence. To-day dis-
patches have come addressed to him officially,
in which he is notified that last night the
American consul's otflco was entered by a mob
of Mexicans, aud the Rev. Mr. Shaw, repre-
senting the United States consulate in the ab-
sence of Dr. Campbell, the accredited consul
of the United States at Monterey, Mex..
was attacked and beaten near unto death, and
the furniture and papers belonging to the con-
sulate destroyed. This information was re-
ceived by your reporter direct from Dr. Camp-
bell, the United States consul at Monterey
now, and is reliable in all respects. This in-
formation creates a profound sensation at La-
redo, and while our citizens deplore a rupture
between the two governments, yet this insult
is so bold and open, that the feeling here is
universal that our government must resent it.
Your reporter will telegraph to Monterey for
full particulars, which will be given in The
News on Wednesdav night.
In conversation with one of the employes of
the Mexican National road, who arrived on
the Monterey train this evening, your reporter
ascertained that the Rev. Mr. Shaw, last
night, after being beat until he was senseless,
revived sufficiently to crawl to one of the pub-
lic hotels and give an account of this outrage
upon the United States consul's office, aud in a
few moments afterward became insensible,
and, up to the last reports, had not regained
his mind. This report is sent without any dis-
position to exaggerate or influence the public
mind, but is given exactly as the facts have
been telegraphed from Monterey.

stockmen's convention.
A call was made for a meeting of the stock-
men of Southeast Texas to take place on July
5, but the attendance was so small at that time
that the meeting adjourned for permanent or-
ganization in this city, on July 17, and to-day
a large number of stockmen assembled to per-
fect the organization. A series of by-laws
were adopted, with the following address or
preamble, which sets forth the purposes of the
organization:
To the Stockmen of Southeast Texas—Realizing
the wealth and importance of the live-stock inter-
est of this section and the necessity of the co-op-
eration of all stock-raisers in its maintenance and
support and protection from the detrimental in-
fluences and abuses from many sources, which are
Imposed upon it, this association has been formed
for the fnutual benefit of all *ith the wide and gen-
eral view of protection to everv stock interest
of its members. With the multiplied
increase of stock and the advanced
values, the devices inaugurated which infringe
upon its full progress are, as is well known, numer-
ous. Depredations under many guises are carried
on, which require united efforts to suppress. The
stock land and fence laws which bear either di-
rectly or indirectly upon this particular interest,
need, in many instances, reformation; and the
laws which now exist and stand on our statute
books, which were made purposely for our pro-
tection. need healthy administration.
In recognition of this state of facts, the under-
signed have associated themselves together under
the name and style of the Live Stock Association
of Southeast Texas. Its aims and objects sliall be:
1. 1 he promotion and protection by all legitimate
aud proper action of the interest of the stockmen ®f
Southeast Texas, without reference to or discrimi-
nation against any. aud without prejudice towards
or iujury to any of the many other importaut in-
dustries of the section.
2. To use its influence to secure legislation adequate
to our complete protection in our rights of proper-
ty, and of the operatiou of such laws as will insure
prompt and am pie punishment of cattle thieves
and horse thieves.
3. Mutual assistance to fellow members in brand-
ing, driving and the protection of their stock,
which is guaranteed to each other.
With the belief that the securing of the bene-
fits above enumerated, and their full operation
will tend greatly to the protection and advance-
ment of our general aud individual interest, mem-
bership is solicited to be governed by the by-laws
which are here appended.
The above constitutes the address or pre-
amble to the by-laws, which, among other
things, provide that the officers of the asso-
ciation shall consist of a president, vice-presi-
dent, secretary, treasurer and seven members
to constitute an executive committee, of which
the president and vice-president shall be ex-
officio members. The election of officers
shall be held at the annual meeting of the as-
sociation en the second Tuesday of December
of each year, to hold their office one year.
Article 7, section 1, of the by-laws, provides
that it shall be the duty of each member of
this association to brand and mark every un-
branded stray calf in the holding brand aud
mark of its mother at each round-
up or drive. Article 9, section 2, provides that
it shall be the duty of each member in buying
cattle not to change the original ear mark. m
The officers elected under the by-laws were
as follows: Rock Roberts, of Waller county,
president; Joe Davis, of Galveston county,
vice-president: Geo. Hermann, of Harris coun-
ty, treasurer ; F. M. O. Fenn, df Harris county,
secretary.
The following are the charter members of
the association, who were present to-day and
signed the by-laws:
G. K. Cessna, W. E. Everts, J. M. Frost

The convention of stockmen of Southeast
Texas continued in session during the after-
noon, but transacted little business. The ter-
ritory of the association was made to include
GaLveston, Harris, Montgomery, Grimes, Wal-
lis and San Jacinto counties, and all that por-
tion of Fort Bend and Brazos counties east of

Your reporter learned to-day of important
negotiations pending between the Gould and

The reporter sought Mr. E. G. Thompson, the
superintendent or the Sunset road, to-day, for

Austin, July 17.—The capitol syndicate have
contracted with the Ohio Valley Cement com-
pany for 150,000 barrels of their Fern Leaf

The Penitentiary Board has been in session
all day, considering the bids for inside labor,
and consulting with bidders about changes
and modifications of the proffered contracts.
The bid of Homer & Fairis, of Alabama, to
take the Rusk prison with one thousand con-
victs, to run the iron blasting furnace, was ac-
cepted- with certain modifications. As modi-
fied, they take seven hundred convicts begin-
ning the" 1st of next January, and paying
monthly for them at the rate mentioned in
their bid, as reported on yesterday. This
rate will average about $75 per annum
for each convict. They are to furnish
their own power and the fees of convicts
and guards, the Stat^ paying salaries of offi-
cers and clothing of convicts. The contract is
for ten years, and requires the convicts to be
worked inside the walls, except what is inci-
dental to outside work, such perhaps as mak-
ing charcoal aud getting out iron ore in the
vicinity. Colonel Goree was authorized to
draw up the contract. The bond is $5000 for
each fifty convicts contracted for, and the
same rate for the other contracts. Wiggins &
Simpson, of Houston, were given the contract
upon their bid, modified so they are to furnish
their own power. They begin with convicts at the
Huntsville prison, and by the end of six
months take 75, paying 00 cents pei» convict
per day. They will take more convicts when
the board is prepared to furnish them. They
are to keep the buildings and machinery in
good repair, and are to place the new machin-
ery in position at their own expense. The
State agrees to build a side track from the
railway to the peuitentiary. The bid of See-
igson, Kempuer and others was not finally
acted upon, their agents asking time to con-
fer with the principals upon the modi-
fication, insisted upon by the
board, that they furnish their own
power. It is believed this modification will be
accepted, in which case they will get the con-
tract for some 150 to 300 convicts at Hunts-
ille. Still & Bro.'s bid was accepted with
the same requirement as to power, but are al-
lowed the use of the power as now, free, until
other contractors take charge of the ma-
chinery. It is estimated these contracts, when
in full operation, will keep about 10(H) convicts
employed at inside labor, and that this
inside labor will be at least self-sustain-
ing. Of course the first result
will be to take inside those now at
work on the railroads, and as the farm con
tracts expire will reduce the number of em-
ployes on farms. The board approved the ac-
counts of the financial agent that were sub-
mitted on yesterday, and also the report of
Superintendent Goree. If the new system of
penitentiary management is successful iu a
pecuniary point of view it will surprise some
of the penitentiary officials more than any
one else. There remains over from the fight
of the lease system for supremacy over the
State government in official quarters, to this
late daj-, a great deal of sympathy for the de
funct giant.

PALESTINE.
A Strike of the Machinists of the Gould
System Shops.
[Special Telegram to The News.l
Palestine, July 17.—A large and exciting
meeting was held last night by the mechanics
aud workiugmen of the International shops.
A committee had visited Master Mechanic
Conliu, demanding ten hours daily labor at 35
cents per hour, or eight hours per day and 5
cents per hour advance on present wages. Con-
lin declared he had no power to grant the re-
quest. There was a hot discussion in the meet-
ing over the report of this committee. Generel
sentiment seemed to favor an immediate strike.
Some, however, especially Ed Marshall, late
foreman of the Round-house, spoke thoroughly
against the proceeding, advising moderation
aud patience. There was a notable absence
from the meeting of most of the old employes
who have homes here. Finally extreme views
prevailed, and it was resolved no man should
work in the machinery, blacksmith or boiler
department until their demands were complied
with. The strikers visited the shops this morn-
ing and induced all to stop work, and to-day
the street is full of workman, with not a sound
of labor from the departments named. This is
the first time anything like this has ever hap-
pened here. The occurrence creates universal
regret. The strikers conducted themselves in
a perfectly quiet and respectable manner.
There was not the slightest disorder at their
meeting or elsewhere. They claim all the
shops on the Gould system will join them. The
community manifests considerable sympathy
with the men, but decided opposition to the
strike. _

A Fire which will Eventually Prove

TSpecial Telegram to The News.l
Texarkana, July 17.—No further develop-
ments have been made in the case of the fire
of yesterday morning, but the opinion seems
to be gaining strength that the cause was in
cendiary. There is, however, no clew to the
guilty parties, but no suspicion rests upon any
of the parties interested. C. E. Hay don & Co.
and Charles Wilkerson, owners ot the two lota
recently occupied by them on the northeap*
corner of the burned block, will at once corn-
mence the erection of substantial two-story
brick buildings on the same. There is noV^oubt
that the whole block will be at oncp ebuilt
with brick instead of frame woijr* While
many regret the occurrence of th^>Ve, from
the fact that it will bear hard^ nporarily
upon some of the losing parties,^x^all are sat-
isfied that the calamity, as it^ vv seems, will
iu the end prove a great blea{ jg.

A petition is being circulated among the
sheriffs of tho western counties, protesting
against the present manner of taking bonds
by justices of the peace, and alleging that the
effect is the turning loose of criminals to re-
turn to villainy; and that it is not in the
power of officers to serve the State efficiently^
when justices are privileged to fix bonds as
they please. The petition is to be presented
at the next session of the legislature.
The Associated Press report to the effect
that Captain Kress, in charge of the arsenal
property in this city, was to be court-mar-
tialed, took the community by surprise. In-
quiry reveals the fact that Captain Kress con-
tracted for more material for the purpose o£
building an arsenal store-house than he nad the
means to pay for, thus being guiltv of a techni-
cal offense under the statutes and in no way
criminal. In other words his contract for ma-
terial will necessitate the expenditure of more
money than the amount appropriated for the
purpose.
