It is about two weeks since our
stock of groceries was de-
stroyed by fire, but we have
now on hand as large a stock
as that which we lost, abso-
lutely fresh goods, bought
for spot cash or discounted.
This shows, among other things,
what a wonderful age we
live in.
We beg to extend our sincere
thanks to our numerous cus-
tomers for their loyalty to us
duringthe trying interval.and
to our brethren of the trade,
not only for refusing to take
advantage of our misfortune,
but for their friendly offers
of assistance.

It Was Duo Entirely to Natural Causes—
His Illness.
Wilmington, Del., May 20.—The report
that A. V. Dupont who died in Louisville,
Ky., last Tuesday came to his death by vio-
lence is empatically denied by membors of

member of the powder manufacturing Ann of

while on the streetB in Louisville inspecting
some railway work in which he was interested
Mr. Dupont was suddenly seized with chills
and became very sick. His brother, Bon-
ninger Dupont, who was with him at the time
at once hurried him to the office of
Dr. T. L. McDermott. Tho lattor pro-
nounced him a very sick man, and on the
physician's advice a carnage was procured
and Mr. Dupont was driven to the residence
of his brother, where he expired soon after of
heart disease. Mr. Dupont's body has ar-
rived in this city and was quietly buried in
tho private burial ground of the family at Du-
pont's banks, near Wilmington.

Oolleotorsbip—Other Matters.
Washington, May 20. — | Special. 1 — Tho
comptroller of tho currency informed the
News, reporter to-day that the financial situ-
ation of the country is in better condition
than for some time. Ho Baid he had just re-
ceived a telegram from New York which
showed affairs there to be in good condition.
As to the Texas banks, he said they were get-
ting along without any trouble. AIL this
comes in good time, as it is understood there
haB been much uneasiness about the south, as
the time for moving tho crops there will Boon
be at hand. The correspondent iB informed
from New York that the southern banks are
doing their level best to provide moans for
moving the crops and aro borrowing money,
going even to tho extent of pledging their
stock, worth $1 20, at 85 in order to do it.
There soems to be a general idea that there
will be no serious trouble, as the banks are
realizing that tho efforts to force the govern-
ment to issue bonds will be of no avail, and
that tho partnership heretofore existing be-
tween them and tho government iB at an end.
All Important Decision.
Washington, May 20.—[Special.]—Judge
Bradley of the circuit court here to-day ren-
dered a decision which if sustained by the
higher courts will give the judiciary discre-
tionary power as to the removal of govern-
mental employes in the classified service.
Ono Pulaski was certified by the civil service
commission as having passed an examination
for letter carrier. He was appointed, but
after having entered upon his duties ho was
notified that the appointment was void be-
cause of irregularity; that tho postmaster
had neglected to notify the commission of
the appointment so that his name might be
removed from the eligible list, within the
prescriDed time. Pulaski protested that he
was not responsible for tho negligence
of his superior, and appealed to
the courts. Judge Bradley to-day decided
that an employe of tbe government appointed
under and subject to the civil service law can
not be dismissed from tho service without just
and sufficient cause and that the courts havo
the right to pass upon the sufficiency of the
cause.
This reverses the universal interpretation of
the law. Hitherto it has been held by all ex-
ecutive officers that the civil service law in no
wise limited the power of removal but only
applied to the appointment of government
employee.
If Judge Bradley is right every government
official will have to assign cause for removal
of an employe in tho classified service which
will stand in the courts.

Royiilty ltecelved,
Washington, May 20.—A day, perfect in
every respect, greeted tbe royal party this
morniug. The princess enjoyed a good night's
rest and at 9.30 this morning began to preparo
for the official call upon the president and
Mrs. Cleveland. Five minutes boforo 11 two
handsome carriages drovo up to the summer
annex. Promptly the door opened and the
royal party appeared. The prince was first
and got into a carriage unassisted. The Span-
ish minister stepped aside to permit the prin-
cess, on tho arm of Commander Davis, to en-
ter. The minister and the commander en-
tered the same carriage while in tho second
rode the marchioness and duko and Senor
Don Pedro.
The party had a quiok drive to tho white
housa and as tho carnages came to a standstill
under the broad, liigli portico Commander
Davis alighted, followed by the Spanish Min-
ister and Prlncu Antonio. The princoassisted
the princess to alight and escorted her through
the main doorway into the corridor of the
private part of the mansion. The duke, mar-
chioness oml private secretary followed.
Thcsccno in the blue rooms, where the offi-
cial receptions are made, was mado more ef-
fective by a soft, half light which pervaded the
apartment, nssisted by the appearance of the
long, warm carpeted corrider, at the end of
which the open doors of the conservatory, al-
lowed a vista of bright colored roses and soft
green plants. The corridor and bluo room
had been decorated tastefully, although not lnv-
ishiy. In the blue room, where the president

and Mrs. Cleveland stood, Senor Muraugua,
tho Spanish minister pr<>geuted the infanta
and Prince Antonio and att'n-ward the dulte of
Tamtnancs, marchioness of Aro Hermosa and
Senor Don y Tovar. Tho greetings were very
pleasant and had hardly tins tinge of for-
mality about them. Mr*. Ciovoland and tho
infanta chatted briskly in English during part
of the brief visit, while at tunes the conversa-
tion was general.
At 11.15 o'clock the infanta mado heradieux,
followed by others. Ashght pause occurred
on the portico and then tho princcss entered
her carriage and was whinkod away to Arling-
ton. Tho infanta expressed herseif delighted
with tho reception. The party will remain in
Washington until Thursday, whon the return
to New York will be mado.

cess began to receive callers. Promptly at 3
o'clock Mrs. Cleveland, accompanied by
Colonel Wilson, Mrs. Carlisle. Mrs, Bisseil,
Miss Herbert and Mrs. Hoke Smith entered
the hotel, where they remained a few min-
utes. President Cleveland did not return tho
call of the princess. In this connection tho
precedent was set during lus former adminis-
tration, it is remembered. When Queen Ka-
piolani was here and visited the president he
aid just as to-day. After the queen returned
to her apartments Mrs. Cleveland, accom-
panied by Colonel Wilson, returned the call,
and with that the formalities ended.
Following Mrs. Cleveland and the wives of
members of the cabinet came a iong list of
calicrs, including most of the foreign minis-
ters now m Washington, and members of tho
various legations.
At 4.30 the princess and party entored a car-
riage and were driven to Arlington, tho entire
parly in citizens' dress. The royal guosts en-
joyed the ride, and were deeply interested in
historic Arlington. The evening was spent in
their own apartments.
To-morrow morning tho princess and suite
will attend high mass at St. Matthew's church.
The programme for Euialia's stay in Wash-
ington was arranged this afternoon.
Monday and Wednesday will be devoted to

matic corps will accompany tha royal party to

A TRAIN ATTACKED.
Too Sharp for the Kobbera—A War of Ex-
termination On.
Gainesville, Tox., May 20.—Deputy United
States Marshal W. W. McCall, who arrived
hero this morning on the Santa Fe train that
was attacked by robbers at Ponca last night,
gave the News man a graphic statement of
tho attempted hold-up. He says that tho com-
pany was aware that an attempt would bo
made before the train left Arkansas City, and
that they were well prepared to resist tho at-
tack, but tho plan adopted wasanevasivo one.
They stopped about 100 yards north of the
watertank, which is at tho station, and sont a
bra be m an to see how it was, with instructions
to give a secret signal that he track was clear,
then backed the train up quite a distance and
pulled through flying, receiving a volley of
Winchester shots as a parting salute.
General Superintendent Stockton of the
Wellf-Fargo express company, with Deputy
Marshal Heck Thomas and several detectives,
dropped off when they first stopped, and it is
like y that a fierce light ensued, as their inten-
tion was to engage the bandits in a conflict
after the departure of the tram. IIo thinks it
will be a war of extermination when the ball
opens. Mr. McCall says there was a scramble
forsafo places undor seats and as close to the
floor as possible by the passengers, and that
bullets rained as thick as hail over their heads.
A Mysterious Murder Near Greenville,
Hunt County. Texas.
Greenville, Tex., May :").—Last night Mrs.
James Humphrey went the home of her
brother, in the vicinity of Payne's store, in
the southern part of llnnt county, and told
him that her husband had been murdered by
two unknown men who had come to the house
that night about 11 e'eiock. The two men
came to tho door and demanded admittance,
and when she had let them in they had beaten
her husband's head into a jelly.
To-day when the crowd had gathered to
attend the inquest held over the body of the
dead man Mrs. Humphrey took Justice
Steger to one side and told him the following
story, which Mr. Steger rolated to The News
correspondent to-night:
"Last night about 11 o'clock , who had
been living in the house, came to the door of
our house and knocked. My husband was
asleep and I asked, 'Who's there?' to which he
replied (with a name). I asked him what he
wanted, and he Baid ho wantod to get a coat
and vest. I undid the door fastenings
and he stepped in the door, and
as ho did so ho requested me to strike
a match, which I did. \\ hen the match was
struck my husband, half aroused by tho noise
and half asleep, raised up on his elbow. As
soon as saw hnn he sprang across
the room and with an n.v dealt my husband
an awful blow, after which he beat his hoad
into a jelly. I was so scared and
horrified that I left the room and
stood by the door crying. came out and
told me to hush crying, as that would not
mend matters, and if I cared for my safety to
go to my brother's house and tell him the
story I told him. Fearing for my own life I
did as he told me and told the story of how
the two masked men had murdered my hus-
band."
Mrs. Humphrey is being held to await fur-
ther developments. Tho homicide is still at
largo.
The murder was a brutal one and most hor-
ribly executed. It is tho third murder in this
county inside of four days.
KILLED BY A BURGLAR
The Paying Teller of a Bank Murdered
by a Thief.
St. Louis, Mo., May 20.—At Woodstock, a
suburb of this city, early this morning, Ben-
jamin McCuilough, paying teller of the State
bank of St. Louis, was h t and killed by a
burglar. McCuilough heard the burglar at
work and rising secured a shotgun. Tho bur-
glar left the house and McCuilough foilowod
him to tho yard, where a scuffle followed, in
which the length of the shotgun prevented its
use, but a bullet from the burglar's revolver
went through McCullough's brain. The mur-
derer escaped.
The president of tho bank has offered $1000
reward for the murderer'- eanture. Tho Bank
clerks' association will oiler $500 and the state
$500. The clerks pay tho lamily of deceased

A Veritable Farco.
Guthrie, Ok., May 20.—Tho attempt to
hold up the Sauta Fo train at Ponca, on the
Cherokee strip, last night was a total failure
and developed a number of phases which
made it a voritable farce. News had b?en re-
ceived by the railway men that an attempt
would soon be made to rob the tram again at
Wharton "fid they were on tho lookout.
When tho trained neared Ponca suspicious
lights we re r<een about tho depot, ami the
train was stopped ana a brakeman sent ahead
to reconnoiter. When he arrived at the depot
the roobers held him up with a revolver at
his head, commanded him to signal the
train to come on. With death staring him in
the face he had tho nerve to give the signal
for the tram to remain standing, and luckily
for hnn the robber* did not understand the
signal. After some consuitatiou Conductor
G.azior decided to run tue tram past tne de-
pot, and oruermg ail the passengers to lie llat
on the floor, which order was obeyed with
alacrity, he entered the engine and himself
ran the traiu past the station at the rate of
fifteen miles an hour. A half unle beyond
the station the train was aiiam stopped, anu
Conductor Glazier, Deputy Marshal Heck
Thomas, Division Superintendent Stockton
and several passengers prepared to defend the
train.
After a little time the engineer got fright-
ened and ran the tram a mile further and when
he heard shots behind and thesouud of horses'
hoofs pulled out for this city, leaving Heck
Tnomas and Stocktou alouo on the prairie.
These two officers approached close to the
depot and were hailed by a volley and all
night kept up a ruiiumg light with what they
supposed was tho robbers, but proved to be
eleven United States soldiers.
The five train robbers had first attempted
to capture the operator in the depot, but ho
barricaded the doors and windows and held
the fort against them, though his room was
riddled with bullets. Ho telegraphed to the
Ponca agency for help and eleven regular
soldiers wore sent up, all of whom wore held
up and were standing peaceably in line when
the brakeman of the train arrived. His stones
about a largo number of armed men on the
train weakened the bandits and they de-
camped,taking with them the soldiers' horses.
It was tho shots fired after them by the bravo
soldiers that scared tho eugmeer and caused
him to pull out so suddenly.
The operator who made such a gallant fight
was a green hand, having been on duty but
two days, and he desires to be transferred.
The Kent Itobbery.
Pecos, Tex., May 20.—One of the deputy
sheriffs who left here in pursuit of the
Kent train robbers has returned and reported
that they had foilowod the men about 25
miles through the heart of the Davis moun-
tains. There were evidently three of the rob-
bers at least. The trail so indicated. They
went by Newman's ranch and fiuding the
owners abseut stole a Winchester rifle. A
little further on the robbers parted company,
oue going alone and the other two together.
The posso followed tho trail of the two until
they lost it and then tho supply of water and
food giving out they returnod to the ranch for
supplies and Jien wont again to search for the
trail. There is as yet no clew to the identity
of the robbers.
SPORTING TOPICS.
Tho Ulg ttegatta nt Austin.
There is great interest taken by Galvestonians
in the big regatta to occur in AuBtiu next month
in connection with the celebration of the comple-
tion of tho big dam across tho ('olorado river.
This interest is due not only to the fact that sev-
eral Gal voston oarsmen will participate in tho
contests there, but. very largely to tho fact that
the management of the huge affair is iu the hands
of that well known and jolly Galvsston sea dog,
Captain Jack Crotty. The indications tue that
tho regatta will bo tho most notable ever Ireld in
tho United states. Speaking of tho dam and tho
big lake which has boon formed by it, Senator
Crowley said to a News reporter: "Words aro
scarcely capable of affording an adequate de-
acr ption of tho scene. Austin is a city of hills,
surrounded by a most picturesque and lovely
country and tho dam ha* added greatly to tho
beauty ot' tho surroundings. Just picture to
yourself a solid wall of granite blooxs rising from
the rocky bed of the Colorado to a
height of nearly or quito sixty
loot and stretching across from bank
to bank over 2UJ0 feet, and over this (ho crystal
current of the Colorado pouring in a silvery cas-
cade upon the rocks below. It is not I ke Nia-
gara: there is not tho mighty roar and.seething,
boiling flood, thundering, splashing and forming
over a wall of ragged and irregular rocks, but a
smooth, even flow gliding softly and with si very
sheen over tho level top of the mighty dam am'
falling in a solid sheet, which breaks and ripples
into innumerable little rivulets as it reaches tho
bed of tho river below tho dam. It is a grand
and inspiring sight. Tho la^e stretches away up
the river to a distance of thirty milow. Tho re-
gatta course is just above tho dam, and from the
hills which staud a< sentinels on either hand its
whole length can ho scanned at n glance, and !lio
rowers aro never lost sight of from tho timo they
din their oars into the water at tho start until
they turn at the hoad of the course and come
pulling back to the stakoboat. There is nothing
like it m tho wholo country, and the oarsmen
who aro there aro nevor tired of praising its ad-

"Talking of oarsmen, Jack Crotty has suc-
ceed *d in getting toget ho r tho most notablo
gathering of aquatic champions that over dipped
oars in unison into tho samo coursc. All tho
most note I rowers, world's champions from hero
and champions from yon are up thero and they
are going to havo some of tho biggest races ev r
rowed on any course in the word. Captain
Crotty is winning laurels for himself by his ex-
cellent management and bis careful attention to
the details, lie sees that every man is properly
cared for and has all tho advantages for prac-
tice md other work that can be afforded, it is a
big job. but 'old Jack' is equal to it and will make
it a splendid success."
The senator continued to further describe the
beauties and attractions of tho coming regatta,
growing moro eloquent as he warmed up to his
subject; hut the above gives a fair idea of what
a big thing Austin h is srot and what u hugo tune
alio is going to havo ovor it.

THE
If China Dogs Not Like It She Can Have a
SiLui ar Law fcr Americans—Something
Must Be Done in the Premises.
New Yorx, May 20.—Senator Squire of
Washington was asked at tho Fifth Xvenue
hotel if ho apprehended any trouble to the
missionaries or any American residents in
China as a result of the enforcement of tho
Chinese exclusion act.
"No, I do not," was his ropiy. "Of course
it is impossible to predict what may happen.
There have been riots in China before, but I
do not believe that riots or disturbances dan-
gerous to the lives of Americans will grow
out of the exclusion act.
"There is, it seems to me, a misapprehen-
sion of the Geary law in the east. Here you
do not fully appreciate the importance of
some such law as this. With the Chinese
being smuggled across tho British border and
through our state by the wholesale and with
many of them bringing opium, some strong
measure was necessary.
"I believe in fair piay tor tho Chinese. He
is not a first .class immigrant but ho shouid
be treated like a human being. Our experi-
ence on the Pacific coast has shown us that
photographing Chinamen is the only possible
way to regulate their immigration. Under
the old method no Chinamen could bo iden-
tified by a certificate*
"I for oue would not object to turning this
Geary law around and making it work both
ways. Let the Chinese government require
all Americans in that country to register and
file photographs. I would not object to such
a law as that. Then both nations would beon
equal foutmg. Americans in China would be
protected by a Chinese Geary law. There aro
only about 1000 Americans in China.
"Nobody expects the United States govern-
ment to deport all tite Chinese in this country
back to Chiua. That the government did not
expect to do this is shown by the fact that
congress appropriated only $100,000 for the
expenses of the entire movement. Oue of the
California senators wanted $100,000, but it
was thought that $100,000 would lie sufficient.
"If the government will show that it means
just what it said when it passed 'he Geary law
and if it will promptly arrest and deport some
of the Chinese—say only a few, a dozen for
instance—the effect on the remainder will be
as good as if ail were arrested at once and
sont back. They will seo that the government
is in earnest and wili ilock by the thousands
to regiftor.
"Of course they can not now legally regis-
ter, but congress next winter can so amend
the law as to extend its provisions and
lengthen the time limit so that ail the Chinese
can register. This to my mind is the solu-
tion of the wholo problem. We must havo
some absolute and reliable method of stopping
this inllow of the Chinese and we must have
some way of determining what Chinese be-
long here and what do not. Even if all tho
Chinese were to offer to register only a small
number, relatively speaking, wou.d bo found
to be, under tho law, improper pereons to bo
aiiowed to remain in the country.
"The Chinese aro increasing rapidly in Now
York and some day will seo mem here as we
have seen them on tho Pacific coast. Then
you will not fail to appreciate the problem in
its full importance."
What Mr. Cliildfl Snys.
New Yoiik, May 20.—Mr. George W. Cbilds
of tho Philadelphia Public Ledger is at the
Fifth Avenue hotel. Mr. Childs camo to New
York with his friend and business partner Mr.
Anthony J. Drexel, tho banker. Mr. Droxel
is going to Europe to-day on tho Now Y'ork.
He will spend three months at Carlsbad. His
trouble is gout. Mr. Childs was asked if ho
apprehended trouble for tho missionaries and
other Americans in China in case the exclus-
ion act was enforced.
"I do not think there will be any bo-
rious trouble," ho replied. "The Chinese
are a very old and a very proud and high-spir-
ited people and douotloss they will bo inclined
to look with other than satisfaction ou the ac-
tion of our government. I don't believe,
however, that the lives of missionaries and
other Americans in the empire will bo endan-
gered through the operation of the exclusion
act."
Tliey Dlseufcsed It.
Washington, May 20.—The Chinese minis-
ter, attendod by the official interpreter, called
at tho department of stato to-day, whore a
consultation ensued, lasting nearly half an
hour. When Mr. Gresham was asked for in-
formation, ho said he could not repeat what
passed between the minister and himself, but
couid safely declare that there was now no
reason to fear any trouble or outbreak, eithor
in tho United States or China, growing out of
the Chinese law.
TOR THE BELL
Material Enough Now on Hand But Money
Nee ed.
New Yoke, May 20.—Notice is given by the
Columbian liberty bell committee that they
can not accept, for fusing into the bell, any
more material unless of great historic inter-
est, but contributions to pay for the boll to be
sent to the Liberty national bank and of
copper and tiu metal, that tho bell is depend-
ant upon to give it tone and musical quality,
will still bo welcome. Swords, bayonets and
implements used in the war to bo made into
peace plow and pruning hooks will still be
gladly received.
Knocked Under a Train.
Calvert, Tex., May 20.—Last Thursday
morning, as the passenger train ou the Hous-
ton and Texas Central railway No.4 pulled out
from tho depot, a negro named Albert Tibbs
started to get on the blind baggage and was
struck on tho head with a heavy iron bar,
knocking him under tho train. The coaches
passed over his foot, crushing it. The negro
managed to crawl up on Main street, where
ho was found by City Marshal Myer, very
weak from loss of blood. The city marshal
took him to a negro boarding house and called
in a doctor, who amputated aoout one-half of
his foot.
The negro train porter, Ed Seal, was ar-
rested yesterday and placed under $1200 bond
for his appearance at the justice's court Mon-
day morning. Tho wounded negro is uncon-
scious to-day and it is possible he may die
from inffamation of the brain caused by am-
putation of the foot.
Received Serious Injuries.
Bonham, Tex., May 20.—This evening a boy
named Henry Ball was knocked from the
bridge west of the round house at this place

airbrakes but was unable to prevent the acci-
dent. The child was knocked into a deop

Steamer Ilarvey Arrived at Dallas—Cap-
tain's Report—Comi v. Celebration.
Dallas, Tex., May 20.—'The river having
fallen sufficiently to let her pass under the
bridges the steamboat Harvey arrived this
evening and tied up at the Oak Cliff railway
bridgo.
The celebration is announced to come off
next Wednesday and will be on a grand scale.
Four hundred banners and mottoes have been
prepared and six brass b.inds engaged. Bo-
sides others there will bo iu lino upward of
3000 operatives, 4000 school children, all the
secret and many other societies of Dallas.
A refrigerator has beon built on the cele-

railway rates havo been accorded from all
poiuts in north Texas, and Mr. C. F. Bolanz is
to-nigiit communicating for spocial rates from
Galveston, from which vicinity a large attend-
ance is looked for.
In her trip up the Harvey was delayed six
weeks removing rafts, cutting timber and
waiting for the railways to extract the piling
and fatso work under their bridges. Iu Dallas
county she put her hawser around two
bridges, went ahead on the capstan and re-
moved them. Tho captain reports that en
route ho had to out down upwards of a thou-
sand trees in the upper river.
Although during much of the trip the river
was lower thau at any timo nt this season in
years she experienced no trouble for lack of
water except at what is known as the Garrett
shoals.
Owing to the narrowness of the upper river
and the entire freedom from sandbars ho
found it in a more navigable condition, barr-
ing obstructions, thau tho lower river.
On the night of the aay of the celebration
Sam Jones will preach in the Tompkins build-
ing, which has boon provided with seats for
0000 people.
