STORIES OF THE SEA.
A New Mcd.'l Sloop Causes a Stir
Among Buy Boatmcn--Criti-
cisms of the Craft.
THE OAKDENE A TOTAL LOSS
Tug Monarch Again Ready for Sea—Latest
From the Francisca—Harbor Notes
and Maritime Mishaps.
There's a new boat In town. Her name
lfl the Sterling, and her owners say that
Khe 1s a world beater in her class. Yester-
day, when she came into the slip at Brick
■wharf, she was watched by hundreds of
the boatmen congregated there. Criticisms
of the craft took a wide range. Some said
she was just the thing, and others shook
their headH and paid she wouldn't do at
all. She is a radical departure from the
usual run of bay boat architecture, and it
is the province of a new model to provoke
criticism. The Sterling exercised this pre-
rogative to the full limit yesterday. But
the general opinion was that she will do,
and do well.
Captain B. F. Sterling, her owner and
builder, and Captain John L<. Sterling, her
commander, were found by the ancient
mariner of Tin- News yesterday evening
aboard their craft. They were feeling like
taking a day off just to sit around and
feel good. Captain Sterling, sr., is a well
known navigator of Galveston bay. He
(has been here many years, and for ;i long
time has b n thinking out th'- model of
his new boat. The result <>f these many
thoughts is shown in the trim little sloop
which bears h r builder's name.
The Sterling was built on Double bayou,
and is intended to bring market truck to
Galveston and take general < argo back.
Her fr.'ime .s of the be^i white oak and
mulberry, planked with cypress, and noth-
ing bur galvanized iron fastenings were
used. She bears a striking resemblance
above water to the yacht Irma. but her
3lncs are not drawn *o line, and she has
not so much overhang to her stern. An-
other difference it that she has 1*» feet of
Straight keel, whereas tin; Irma has a
"rocker bottom." The dimensions of the
craft are as follows: Length over all, 46
feet; extreme beam. 14 feet (! inches; total
length of keel. 30 feet; length of straight
keel. 16 feet; depth of hold, 2 feet 10 inches;
height of miast from deck, 43 feet; length
of malnboom, 4_' feet 6 inches; length of
jib on foot. 2<> fet t; length of bowsprit out-
board. lfj t.-et. From tlu loot of the mast
to the end of t'he bowsprit is 28 feet, and
she spreads over 500 yards of canvas. She
is fitted with a comfortable cabin, with
two bunks and a number of lockers, and is
u model of bay boat comfort.
When at-k-'d how she handled and how
she sailed, Captain Sterling showed plainly
(how good 'he felt. "Why," said he, "she's
the quickest thing in stays you ever saw.
She handles like a top and can cut the
figure *0' in half her length. We did not
meet anything coming down to try our
speed with, but I'm thinking we won't be
far behind the fastest of them when it
comes to a raxe either to windward or
'toward.' This, in my opinion, is the com-
ing model. She possesses many advan-
tages over the old style of bay boat that
the others will have to come to sooner or
later, whether they like it or not."
The Sterling is certainly a likely looking
craft, and if she proves only one part of
the success her owner thinks she will, she
may mark 'an epoch in boatbuilding on
Galveston bay. "Who knows?
•STEAMER BREAKING UP.
'Right within sight of Boston's docks a
big ocean steamer, bound for London with
a valuable cargo, is breaking up, says a
special from Boston. It is the Furness line
steamer Venetian, which grounded on Slate
Ledge, near Castle island, in the lower mid-
dle harbor. iShe rested on the ledge just
amidships, and when Che tide receded the
enormous weight of the stem and stern,
with the heavy cargo, broke the steamer in
two just in the middle.
The breaking accident occurred about 7.30
p. m., February 4. when, with a loud creak-
ting sound and a sharp report, she sagged
down by the head and stern, and opened a
Jiirge fissure amidships, just forward of t'he
smokestack, right across the deck and
.down to the water's edge on both sides.
The deck planking was not torn from its
fastenings or the rivets of the steel plating
merely ripped apart, but the wood and iron
actually pulled apart, which shows the fear-
ful strain to which the vessel was sub-
jected.
The steamer is thought to be worth $175,-
000 and her cargo $225,000. The steamer is
insured in England, probably for all she is
"worth, while most of her cargo is carried
by .insurance companies in this country.
This accident and probable loss of the Ve-
netian is the most serious disaster in the
annals of Boston harbor. Other steamers
nave sunk and been raised, but this will
make the first ocean craft to lay her bones
almost wit'hin rifle shot of the (Wharves of
the city.
ORANGE NOTES.
Orange. Tex., March 6.—The schooner
Silas, John Peterson master, arrived from
Galveston to-day with a full cargo of as-
sorted merchandise.
The steamer R. E. Lee, J. J. Jordan, Is
In from the upper river with a light load.
She reports a good rise at Belgrade, wit'h
a sharp current in the river all the way
down. Another swell in the river was re-
ported from points higher up.
A crew of men went up to the Narrows
last night to pass timber through, in order
to prevent another jam, such as detained
steamboats so long last fall.
The Neches Bell, from Logansport, Is
overdue, and this rise will let her down.
She has a full cargo of cotton.
The barge Edward Perry was towed up
to West's ferry to-night to be loaded with
brush for the Sabine Pass jetties. Hers
will be the first load that has been used
under the present contract on that work
A huge rock barge, also another large
brush barge, belonging to the Sabine Pass
construction company, are rapidly ap-
proaching completion, and a lumber barge,
32 feet beam, 175 feet long, wit'h 8 feet hold
Will be ready to launch within the next ten
days.
Captain Dan Gillis is laying the keel for
another boat, 28x160, under a contract with
the Sabine Pass construction company. He
expects to have it in the water by the 1st
of May.
MIAROH WEATHER AT SEA.
The weather predictions for March on the
north Atlantic, issued by the hydrographic
office, are as follows: Gales less frequent
than in February and not so violent on the
American coast north of Hafcteras, occa-
sional northwesterly winds; along The
trans-Atlantic steamer routes gales about
once in six days, wit'h periods of strong
northwesterly winds; near the Azores gales
about once in ten days; fog on the Grand
'Banks and New England coast; ice on the
Grand Banks as far south as 43 degrees
north, wfth field ice south and east of
Newfoundland.
A LARGE SAILING SHIP.
The treasury department has granted an
American register to t'he four-masted ship
May Flint, formerly the British steamer
(Persian Monarch, w*hich was wrecked on
Long island last year. She was taken to
the Newport News shipyard, where about
560,000 was spent by her American owners
in changing her into a sailing ship. The
May Flint is The largest sailing ship under
the American flag. It is expected that she
will leave Newport News and go to Baltic
more to load coal for San Francisco.
WRECKED ON COLOMBIAN COAST.
A telegram from New York March 5
Bays: The steamer Finance, which arrived
this morning from Colon, brings Captain
Schade and crew of thirteen men from t'he
German bark Mereador, which went ashore
and "Was a total loss on point San Fran-
cisco, on the Colombian coast, on tihe
morning of February 3. The vessel sailed
from Coco bay. o& February. L loaded wIUj
fustic and cedar, for the channel, A por-
tion of the cargo was saved. The Merea-
dor was 800 tons register and hailed from
Bl.inklusee. «he was fully insured. The
.•rev. will leave for Hamburg on the llrst
steamer.
TIHE OAiKDKNR LOST.
The British steamer Oakdene, Captain H.
€. N. Sandal, from Hamburg to Baltimore,
says the Baltimore Sun of March 4, with
a cargo of kainlt and cement, went ashore
Friday flight off Ass.ileague, north of Cape
Charles. She has been abandoned and will
be a total lo^s. During Saturday night she
filled and sank. Of her crew, consisting of
twenty men, sixteen, Including the officers,
were taken off by the wr< Iting tuv? North
America and landed at Lewes, Del. The
ot'hers were rescued by the lifesavera.
The Oakdene was a steel vessel, l.*i'4 tons
gi '- register and 240 feet long. She was
built in Sunderiand, Kngland, by Short
Br".-\, and was owned by 8. T. Lunn & Co.,
of the same port. The Oakdene left Harn-
b ;r ■ January 14 and ShieMs January 19,
putting into Shields to coal up for her pas-
sage across the Atlantic. On February 14
she put into Halifax for more coal. Her
forecastle had been stove in, cabin flooded,
the men's quarters washed out, and star-
boird lifeb »a t and rails washed away.
iShe was well known in Galveston, having
made several voyages to this port. She left
'here on her last voyage December 3 with
1885'bales of cotton, 530 sacks of cotton seed
meal, and 19,360 sacks of oil cake for Ham-
burg.
HEROIC CONDUCT OF A CREW.
New York, March 5.—The Hamburg-
American line steamer Suevia brought to
this port to-day eight sailors, rescued from
the sinking American schooner, Mary F.
tAmsden, bound from Calias, Me., for Bsir-
badoes. Before being taken off 'by the Sue-
via the Amsden's signals of distress were
seen by the Russian 'barkentine Saari,
•bound from Pensacola to Alicante. In the
•face of a terrible sea the Russian lowered a
boat to try and take off the imperiled crew.
But the boat was swamped and two of the
Saari's sailors were drowned. Again the
Russians voluntw red a boat's crew, but the
sea was too high to accomplish anything.
After standing by the Amsden for twenty-
four hours the Saari filled away on her voy-
age.
SCHOONER EDWARD A. SANCHEZ.
Baltimore, Md., March 7.—Telegrams
from Tampico report the loss of the Balti-
more schooner Edward A. Sanchez. The
Sanchez left here February 5 with C99 tons
of coal. She had bad weather up to Feb-
ruary 16, when In going through Crooked
island passage she went ashore on Long
Key. The waves are completing the wreck
and she will prove a total loss. When the
crash came Captain William Fooks, Mate
Krby and the crew of eight men took to
the boats and got safely ashore, where
they watched the schooner settle. The
Sanchez was of 492 tons register and was
built at Baltimore in 1874.
YAOHT MOHICAN DESTROYED.
Southwick, Eng., March 7.—The American
kschooner yacht Mohican, belonging to Dr.
Conyers Herring, whidh left New York in
November last with Dr. Herring, his bride
and Miss Letitia Thomas on board, and
which arrived at this place from Plymouth
last week, was destroyed by fire this morn-
ing. The Mohican was fitted out in New
York and was bound to the south Pacific,
where her owner intended to go into pearl
fishing on a large scale. She was reported
to have been lost after sailing from New
York, but later turned up at the Azores all
right, and afterward reached England,
where she was refitting for iher voyage to
the south seas.
EXPERIENCED TERRIFIC GALES.
A dispatch from Baltimore 'March 5 says:
The long overdue five-masted schooner
Governor Ames, which left Salem, Mass.,
February 5 for Baltimore or Norfolk, and
for whose safety there were grave fears,
arrived at Norfolk this morning. When
nearly to Cape Henry she was struck by a
terrific gale and swept away down nearly
to the West Indies. She was sighted Feb-
ruary 18 by the schooner Three Bells, from
Porto Rico to Halifax, storm sails and fore
{<ails brown away. She is commanded by
Captain Davis and carried a large crew.
The experience of those on board was
thrilling.
LARGE SHIPMENTS OF COAL.
Yesterday) says the Batlimore Sun of
March 4, was a busy day among oiftward
bound vessels. Two steamers and nine
large three and four-masted schooners
sailed with coal for coastwise, West India
and gulf ports. Their aggregate cargoes
were about 14,000 tons of coal. The schooner
Cora H. Hanson was about to sail for Gal-
veston with coal when the cook was taken
so seriously ill that the vesesl was detained
until this morning.
THE EARNSCLIFFE A TOTAL LOSS.
Halifax, N. S., March 7.—A cablegram to
the owners reports the loss of the British
ship Earnscliffe, 1875 tons register, Captain
McKfenzle, at Princess Island, while on a
voyage from Cape Town to Saign. The
hull was insured for $226,000 and the freight
for $14,000. A. & W. Smith of this city are
the owners. It is almost a certainty* that
the ship will be a total loss.
STEAMSHIP ON FIRE.
•Boston, Mass., March 7.—Fire was discov-
ered last night in the main hold of the
British steamship Naparima, which arrived
last night from Matanzas, Cuba, with a
cargo of sugar. It is thought that most of
the cargo has been ruined by water. It
consisted of 2100 tons of sugar in bags,
valued at $125,(KM), consigned to the Ameri-
can sugar refining company of this city. It
is fully insured.
YELLOW FEVER AT RIO.
•A dispatch from Baltimore March 5 says;
The coffee barks Baltimore and Francis,
which arrived from Rio to-day, report yel-
low fever'breaking out again at that port.
"While the bark Francis was lying be-
calmed off Cape Fry the steam bark Se-
vern, from Rio to Baltimore, passed iher.
The Francis spoke the American bark Jus-
tin Ingersoll and the British schooner Fred
E. Cox. They signaled all well.
THE FRANCISCA.
The contractors engaged in trying to float
the Spanish steamship Francisca, stranded
inside the bar, were disappointed about
getting her up to her dock yesterday. One
of the pumps used on the vessel failed to
work satisfactorily and another pump will
be sent off to her. It is thought likely that
the vessel will be floated at high tide to-
day.
THE MONARCH REPAIRED.
The steam tug Monarch of Pensacola was
•hauled out on the marine ways yesterday
to have her propeller set. The work was
done and the vessel lowered into the water
again yesterday afternoon. She will pro-
ceed to sea this morning with the barges
Regulator and H. L. Gregg in tow, bound
for Pensacola. Captain Simmons will com-
mand her.

MARITIME MISHAPS.
The British steamship Colorado, Which \
arrived at New York from Hull, brought
the crew of the German 'bark Norma, who
had been picked up at sea on February 21,
in latitude 49, longitude 23. The Norma
was bound froim Buenos Ay res to Antwerp,
with a cargo of dye wood, and experienced
terrific weather in the north Atlantic
ocean. Wtoe© eirtued by. the Colorado she
was half filled with water and her decks
were nearly flutfh with the sea. The crew
of eleven, Including Captain Bhrens, were
•uccessfully transferred to the Colorado
and the Norma was left to her fate.
The British steams/hip Aras, from St.
Luoia for Galveston, is ashore at Portland
point, coast, of Jamaica. Assistance has
been sent to 'her. She is In ballast. An-
other unfortunate British steamship, the
Novacastria, which went aground at
Huelva on February 9, while- hound to
Philadelphia, is straining badly amidships.
The abandoned and blazing schooner
Alma Cuinmings, from Port Royal for Bos-
ton, was passed on February l5 in latitude
38 north, longitude 72 west. It is believed
that she was set on fire by a passing ves-
sel to prevent her becoming an obstruction
to navigation.

WOMAN MURDERED.
Body Found Floating on a Spring at Lam-
pasas—Neck Broken.
Lampasas, Tex., March 7.—The dead body
of Fannie Mays or Yett, probably 18 or 20
years old, was found floating on the Han-
na spring this morning about 9 o'clock. The
spring is inclosed with a rock wall to a
depth of 12 to 16 feet, with a two-foot iron
picket fence on the wall. It Is 60 feet in
diameter and changes in the weather are
denoted by the milkiness of the sulphur
water, which, at other times, is very clear.
The milkiness of the water for several
days had prevented the body from being
seen.
An examination of the body by the phy-
sicians disclosed the fact that her neck
had been broken and other bruises made
it evident that she had been killed several
days before and her body thrown into the
spring. Later in the day a lady's nubia
with a heavy rock tied up in it was fished
out of the spring and from the loop with
which it was tied It was supposed to have
been tied around the neck of the dead wo-
man to sink her body. The woman had
formerly lived in or near Llano, having
been here but a few weeks.
LAREDO NOTES.
THE WEEK'S WEATHER
Laredo, Tex., March 6.—Mr. Albert Ur-
.bahn of this city has purchased the North
Laredo land, water and irrigation com-
pany's property, which was sold under ex-
ecution sale by Sheriff Benavides yester-
day to satisfy a judgment in favor of the
Mllano national bank.
Mr. Urbahn will put this valuable Irri-
gating plant in first class condition.
Mr. J. A. Bell, general manager of the
North Laredo irrigation company, is now
putting in an irrigating plant on his own
property near North Laredo and will irri-
gate on his own account.
The Methodist church of Laredo has just
received an appropriation from the general
missionary board and with this money they
will complete the steeple of the church.
Emilco Magnon, while in a house in the
West end, accidentally discharged his pis-
tol. The bullet struck A. Ramos in the
leg, inflicting a flesh wound.
The petition for a writ of injunction to
restrain all parties save and except those
who recently leased the ferry privilege, to
operate skiffs on the river between the two
Laredos, was overruled by Judge McLane
In chambers yesterday. The city was
granted leave to amend and will be heard
on Friday.
There Is a statement to the effect that
the customs officials of the district will
soon be in full fledged uniform, said to be
a recent order from the treasury depart-
ment.
-MARRIED IN JAIL.
Gainesville, Tex., March 7.—There was a
curious wedding in the Cooke county jail
this evening. Edgar Townsend and Miss
Ella Aud were tried last summer for the
murder of Miss Aud's illegitimate child.
They were found guilty and each sentenced
to twenty .years in the penitentiary. This
evening Miss Susie Aud, a sls'ter of Ella,
who h%s also an illegitimate child about 4
months old and dhaims that ToWnsend is
its father, procured a marriage license and
in company with County Judge Hall re-
paired to the jail and was married to Ed-
gar Townsend, the convict. The last the
reporter saw of them they were in the cell
and the convict was lovingly caressing the
child. Townsend's case is now in the crim-
inal court of appeals.

United States Department of Agricul-
ture, Weather Bureau—Weather-crop bul-
letin of the Texas weather service for the
week ending Thursday, March 7, 1895:
Precipitation: At the opening of the
week the weather was clearing over the
northwestern portion of the state, while
good rains were reported from east Texas,
the eastern portions of north, central and
southwest Texas and the coast district,
with the greatest amount of rainfall, 1.58
inches, at Galveston, after which It cleared
up over these portions of the state. Fair
weather prevailed then until the close of
the we- k, when general light showers were
reported. The rainfall on an average for
the week has ranged from about 0.60 of an
inch below the normal over the northwest-
ern portion of the state to an excess of
about 1.00 inch over the southeastern por-
tion.
Sunshine: Broken cumulus, curnulo-stra-
tus, cirro-cumulus and stratus clouds have
prevailed during the greater portion of the
week and reduced the amount of sunshine
to slightly below the normal amount.
Temperature: The temperature at the
opening of the week raile d from 7 to li
degrees below the dally normal, with the
greatest deficiency over northern Texas. It
rose slightly about the middle of the week
ovt r the central and southern portions of
the state until it averaged about the nor-
mal or slightly above. The week closed
with the temperature generally about the
normal. The temperature on an average
for the week has ranged from 1 to 6 de-
grees I)-low the normal, with the greatest
deficiency over the east coast district. The
highest temperature at the several stations
during the week has ranged from <>."> de-
grees over the Panhandle and 04 degrees
over the coast district to s 1 degrees in cen-
tral Texas, and the lowest has ranged from
iy degrees over the northwestern portion
of the state to 38 degrees over the east
coast district.
CONDITION OF CROPS.
Farm work was retarded over the south-
eastern portion of the state during the
early part of the week on account of the
ground being rather wet for plowing, but
when conditions were favorable farmers
were busy planting spring vegetables
and other crops. The good rains at the
close of last week and the opening of
this week put the ground in exceptionally
line condition for plowing generally
throughout the state, and as a rule farm
work has been rushed.
Oat sowing was pushed over the greater
portion of the state and it Is believed that
a large acreage will be sown if the weather
continues favorable. Some farmers are
sowing spring wheat, as very little fall
wheat was sown over the wheat belt on
account of the continued drouth during Oc-
tober. November and December, 1S94.
Where fall wheat was sown it did very lit-
tle good, but is apparently coming out now.
Notwithstanding the late cold weather
farmers have commenced planting corn
over the southern and central portions of
the state, and with favorable weather
planting will be rushed during the coin-
ing few weeks. It is believed that a
good acreage will be planted if favorable
weather conditions continue.
The warm weather during the past few
days has caused the earth to put on a
green robe over the southern portions of
the state, and grass .and spring vegeta-
bles are coming up nicely. Fruit trees are
beginning to bud, especially the fig trees,
and strawberries will soon be blooming if
the warm weather continues.
CORRESPONDENTS' REMARKS.
Aurora—H. B. Wayland: Farmers busy
plowing and sowing oats. The surface soil
is in fine condition. It seems that a large
per cent of the peach buds are dead. Cat-
tle have not been much worsted. Tempera-
ture, maximum 81, minimum 24; no rain-
fall; sunshine, 48 per cent.
Fredericksburg—Arthur Striegler: A
good rain has now changed the condition
of the soli, and all farmers are in better
spirits about corn planting. All soli will
soon be prepared for planting spring crops.
Small grain crops begin to look better.
Temperature, maximum 70, minimum 39;
rainfall, 2.34 on the 28th.
Salisbury—J. C. Holmes: The rain has
put a good season in the ground, and the

FARMERS' ALLIANCE.
Proclamation Issued by the State Execu-
tive Committee—Order Flourishing.
Dallas, Tex., March 7.—The state ex-
ecutive committee of the Texas Farmers'
alliance to-day issued the following procla-
mation, w.hieh they request reform papers
to copy from The News:
Dallas, Tex., March 6.—To the Members
of the Farmers' Alliance Industrial Union
of Texas -Dear Brothers and Sisters: We,
the president and executive committee, at
our regular semi-annual meeting in Dallas
on March 5, send out to you for your In-
formation and encouragement the follow-
ing report of our work:
At the bust state meeting the president
and executive committee were instructed
to memorialize the national alliance on
the protest of the state alliance against
paying national female dues, and in com-
pliance with this instruction we filed our
protest with the secretary of the national
alliance. After persisting we succeeded In
obtaining such a recognition of state
rights as to leave this matter with each
state, and Texas is thus able to fulfill her
promise to the sisterhood that they shall
pay no dues. The male dues are to con-
tinue as before, 5 cents semi-annually, to
be sent with the April and October reports.
Realizing the necessity of funds to carry
on our work, we appeal to the brother-
hood to be prompt in making their re-
ports. As to the order in our state, we
consider the outlook encouraging. Every-
thing Is harmonious, and many of the
county reports exceed those of several
quarters previously, while some of them
double their preceding reports, and from
many come tlie promise to set systemati-
cally to work to reorganize the counties
at once, and nearly everywhere there
seems to be a forward movement all along
the line.
Brothers and sisters, the perpetuity of
our form of government—yea, of every
home—depends on our fealty to our be-
loved order and our propagation of Its
fundamental principles. Let every brother
and sister who love the little ones about
their knees lose no time to thoroughly re-
organize all the material about them, and
go on building up to that goal of pros-
perity so easily attained by properly di-
rected efforts. The father or this noble
order yet lives, with white hairs trembling
on the verge of eternity, and' no true alli-
ance man or woman but would grasp the
palm of the venerable patriarch in whose
brain the idea was first conceived, and if
the providence of God does not direct
otherwise, you can have the opportunity
the third Tuesday in next August. We
have accepted the proposition of Lampasas
county to ■ hold the next state meeting
there, and giye our veterans an opportu-
nity to tread that holy ground, and for
once rally around the birthplace of our
order. EVAN JONES,
President.

Chairman.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING.
Dallas, Tex., March 6.—The executive
committee of the State Farmers' alliance
Is in session at the Phoenix hotel, with the
following committeemen in attendance:
W. P. Martin of Kilgore, chairman; C. A.
McMeans of Denton, secretary, and T. S.
De Armond of Bazette, Hon. Evan Jones
of Dublin, Hon, T. L. Nugent of Fort
Worth and S. O. Davis of Springtown, are
also in attendance.
They have examined the secretary and
treasurer's books, and report them cor-
rect.
Reports from the county alliances, they
say, show a general increase, some of
them double the strength they reported
last October.
Lampasas, where the alliance was born,
was selected for the sixteenth annual
session of that body, to be held on the
third Tuesday In next August.
The committee Is at work on an address
to the membership, in which they will
render an account of their stewardship
and offer suggestions.
Mr. McMeans said to-night to a News
reporter: "I will leave next Tuesday for
Erath county, where I am booked for
twenty-five speeches. About 220 lecturers
and organizers have been commissioned to
spread the light throughout Texas, the
intention being to carry the gospel into
every county in the state. Since the last
election the members have been reorganiz-
ing and going to work. Questions relat-
ing to organized Industry and the science
of government will be discussed in all the
local alliances."

COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS.
Dallas, Tex., March 7.—John English-
Appeal from Young: Conviction for mur-
der. The order for a venire as not carried
into the minutes until after the return
thereon. In this there was no error. Over
appellant's objection testimony was intro-
duced showing that appellant and one
Willing-ham had been In the business of
horse stealing and had determined not to
be arrested. This evidence was competent.
Deceased at request of the sheriff went
with the sheriff to examine some horses
to ascertain whether they were stolen. Ap-
pellant and Willingham went to the horses
and Willingham was about to mount when
the sheriff halted him. Instantly appellant
shot deceased and after exchanging shots
with the sheriff appellant and Willingham
fled. Deceased did not fire. The horses
were stolen property. Under Art. 343, C. C.
P., the attempted arrest was legal and the
court should not have charged upon an
illegal arrest; however, such charge was
beneficial to appellant. The court prop-
erly charged the rule that an arrest must
not be made In a violent and wanton man-
ner without resorting to milder means un-
less the act of the arrested party makes
violence necessary. Appellant having tried
to prove that the sheriff's testimony was
recently fabricated, the state proved that
the sheriff made statements similar to his
evidence on the night of the homicide.
This was proper. The charge is correct.
The evidence sustains the conviction. Af-
firmed. Hurt, P. J.
Wm. Sides—Appeal from Hill: Appeal
from a denial of bail for murder. After
carefully Inspecting the record we believe
appellant entitled to bail In the sum of
$5000. Reversed and ball granted. David-
son, J.
Jim Jenkins—Appeal from Johnson: Con-
viction' for rape. The indictment charges
rape by force, threats and fraud without
the consent, etc. Upon the trial the father
of the girl testified that at the time of the
transaction she was between 12 and 13
years old. The girl swore she was 11
years old. The court charged the jury that
If the girl was under the age of consent to
convict. The indictment only charged a
rape by force, hence the charge of the
court was erroneous. Reversed. Hender-
son, J.
Aid ridge Franklin—Appeal from Collin:
Conviction for an attempt to rape by
fraud. Appellant moved to quash the In-
dictment on the grounds that the facts
constituting the fraud should be set out
that the name of the woman's husband
should be alleged. We do not think that
the rule In civil cases in reference to al-
leging the facts constituting fraud applies
to this character of criminal cases. In
theft and burglary it is sufficient to state
that the act was fraudulently done with-
out stating the facts constituting the
fraud. In cases like this the statute limits
the state to certain kinds of fraud and in
order to convict such acts must come with-
in the statute. While the better practice
would be to set out enough in the indict-
ment to indicate the kind of fraud relied
on, yet a general indictment charging an
attempt to rape by fraud would authorize
the proof of either kind' of fraud men-
tioned in the statute. We do not think the
name of the husband should be set out,
the indictment charging that she is a mar-
ried woman. There was no error in over-
ruling appellant's application for a con-
tinuance. The charge of the court was
correct. Affirmed. Henderson, J.

OLIVE CULTURE.
Port Lavaca, Calhoun Co., Tex., March 7.
—The coast region is now to witness the
experiment of olive culture on a mammoth
scale. Projecting into Matagorda bay,
from the famous Wolf Point peninsula of
15,000 acres, now occupied by a Swedish
colony, Is a still smaller peninsula, known
as Sandy point. Some of it is beach, but
the bulk of the peninsula is elevated
ground, averaging ten feet above the sur-
rounding waters. This property, embrac-
ing 800 acres of good land, has been pur-
chased by a gentleman named H. E. Tra-
vers and the soil will be prepared and set
out In California olive cuttings. An ex-
pert from Los Angeles passed upon the
ground some months back and expressed
the opinion that peculiar advantages for
olive culture were presented. The point is
connected with the mainland by a narrow
peninsula, and It is really an island, and
the bad effects of northers are reduced to
a minimum. The party has ample means
and the experiment will be watched with
Interest by the whole fruit growing inter-
ests of the state. Olive culture has been
found to be enormously profitable in Cali-
fornia, and experienced growers from that
state believe that parts of Texas will be
just as well suited. The cuttings for the
big Texas experimental farm will come
from the best known growers of southern
California.

ters excites the appetite and keeps the di-
gestive organs in order.
Substitutes Don't Pay.
In tho stormy days of "61," when a
man was drafted Into the army, he could
buj^ a SUBSTITUTE If he had a long
purse; many rich men did this. But
old army officers will tell you that SUB-
STITUTES DIDN'T PAY; they couldn't
be relied on. The world hasn't changed
a bit; substitutes don't pay now. When
yoirask for CARTER'S LITTLE LIVER
PILLS, don't take a substitute. They
don't pay any more than the substitute
In the army; he couldn't be relied on,
and~Hiibntltutes for CARTER'S LITTLE
LIVER PILLS don't fill the bill. Don't
take any chances.
Ask for CARTER'S LITTLE LIVER
PILLS, and see that you get "C-A-R-
T-E-R-'-S."
Don't be Imposed upon with a substi-
tute; nothing Is so good as "c-a-r-
T-E-R-'-S."
Take only the genuine carter's lit-

SUCCESS
AND
FAILURE
Are the two words that tell the tale of
all Industries and enterprises. Capabil-
ity, honesty and integrity are the three
elements of success, while failure follows
inability, dishonesty and unfairness. The
medical profession furnishes many exam-
ples of this truth. Dr. Hathaway & Co.
have furnished a remarkable success
while others have failed. Their increas-
ing business has compelled them to open
offices in six different states and their
practice is now co-
extensive with the
union.
Their success Is
due to the fact that
their treatment Is
the best; they have
dealt fairly with the
public and are true,
||fe- genuine specialists.
™ They recognize the
" fact that diseases of
rjjsthe human family
jjjji; <hould be treated
"""only by scientitio
methods and expert physicians. They are
fitted by education and experience for
their profession and have kept pace with
the rapid advancement made in medical
science.
Dr. Hathaway & Co. succeed where all
others fail, and have cured thousands of
cases of SPECIFIC BLOOD POISON-
ING. NERVOUS DEBILITY, HYDRO-
