On Monday morning, June A, one ol tlio
most atrocious deeds of uxorcide was com
mitted in this city at the corner of Fannin
and Rusk streets, right under the walls of
tlie First Baptist church. On this spot
'Burke Mitchell, colored, met his unfaithful
■wife, aud ufter inflicting wounds upon her
■with a knife sufficient to have caused her
fleath, he seized a long handled shovel and
literally beat her head into a mass of pulp.
The sickening scene was witnessed by sev-
eral ladies living in the vicinity, who had
been attracted by the screams of the unfor-
tunate victim of the brute's jealous frenzy.
He was arrested upon the spot by a
gentleman who happened to be pass-
jug, and turned over to the authorities.
JTlie crime was so cold-blooded aud diabol-
ical in its nature that the colored people
manifested much indignation, anil talked
seriously of lynching him. He assigned as
his reason for the murder that his wife had
been unfaithful to him aud had two or more
paramours. Criminal court was in session
fit the time, and a true bill was found and
Mitchell placed on trial, He waived all for-
malities and pleaded guilty, offering no ex-
tenuating circumstances and asking no
clemency at the hands of the court. He was
adjudged guilty of murder in the first de-
gree, and sentenced to be hanged on Friday,
the 31st day of August, 1888. A couple of
■weeks ago Mitchell wrote the governor a
letter asking that his sentence be commuted
to that of imprisonment for life, but up to
the present time he has received no responso
from the executive. A News representative
visited the jail this morning for the purpose
of interviewing the doomed man. He is a
good looking, intelligent, black negro, near-
ly six feet in height, with a short, black
beard all over his face, and is 30 years old.
In reply to the question, "How do you
feel, Burke?" he replied:
"I feel much better than I did a day or
two ago, when I had a slight fever."
"Have you any hopes of haviug your sen-
tence commuted to imprisonment:'"
"I wrote the governor a letter, boss, ask-
ing him to change my sentence, and my
brother in Fort Befid county got up a peti-
tion to have him do it, but X don't give it
much thought, boss. You sea that's look
ing backward, and as my ti mo is short I
must put it in-reading my bible and pray-
ing to God."
"Have you sought any spiritual consola-
tion?"
"Yes, sir; Elder Yates came to see me yes-
terday and 1 wants him. to come again."
"Do vou feel that you are prepared to
die?"
"Well, boss, I am like Christ, before he
was crucified, llo said, 'Father, if it be
possible, let this cup pass,' That's just the
■way 1 feels. Dying ain't, like taking a cup
of coffee, but I guess 1 will brace up to it. i
puts in my time now looking to God, as he
can save niy soul if man does kill my body."
. "Are you satisfied with your treatment?"
"Yes, boss; I gits everything 1 wants. A
man who is goin' to die don't need much.
He should bo fasting aud praying. And
then 1 never was a big eater, nohow."
When Mitchell knows an interviewer is a
reporter he declines to talk and says he has
no statement to make to the public at pres-
ent, but that in his state of mind he does
not know what, he may wish to do by Friday,
which is the day set, for his execution, lie
Was brought from South Carolina to Texas
by the Terry family and lived with them
until several years .after the war, when no
came to Houston and worked for Mr. T. W.
House as a drayman. He was regarded as a
peaceable and well disposed darky, but
•when in passion was dreaded by his colored
companions. The victim of his wrath was
his second wife and was industrious and
thrifty, and at the time he so foully mur-
dered her was carrying home a basket of
clothes which she was going to wash. They
owned their own home, which will revert
to their two children, a boy and a girl.
NO CAEDS, NO CAKE.
Lizzie Brooks, a young colorod damsol,
about 21 or S3 years of age,'accompanied by
a stcrn-lookiiig yellow woman, who proved
to be her mother, appeared at Judge Breed-
ing's court this morning arid-made affidavit
Jbo the effect that Louis Jones, a dusky
Wain of about 20 years, hqfl, on Saturday

for discussion is: "Are wages higher in the

claim that the sole cause of the difference is
the fact that laud is cheaper awl oasier to

a houston lady's intention.
As will be seen from the subjoined extract
from the Denver News, Mrs. Foute, the ac-
complished ediier of tiie Ladies' Messenger
of this city will -tract her stay in Denver
for some weeks. She is a fluent and grace-
ful writer, a 1;< ly of accomplishment and
refinement, aud her Houston friends will be
glad to hear that she is successful in her
new undertaking:
"Mrs. Laura E. Foute, editor and proprie-
tor of the Ladies' Messenger, a monthly
journal devoted, to women, came up with
the Texas Pie is association, and is so
pleased with Denver and portions of Colo-
rado that she has visited that siie thinks it
will be, when properly represented to the
inhabitants of Texas, their chief summer
resort. With the view of making the women
of the two states familiar with wn.it they
are doing in their respective states she
thinks of publishing a Denver edition of her
ladies'journal. She will canvass the city
to this end. She will write up the positions
open to women, what they receive, the be-
nevolent and charitable enterprises, society
and literary clubs, principal hotels, etc., of
the city. It will be seen at ouce what an ad-
vantage to the city of Denver it will be to
be so represented among our Texas neigh-
bors. Mrs. Foute's journal has its main
office at the Woman's exchange of Houston,
Tex., and a branch office and the only other
woman's exchango in the state at Dallas,
Tex."

San Jacinto street, between Franklin and
Commerce, after a heavy shower,becomes a
perfect sea of water. This is one of the
main avenues of the city and is constantly
traveled, as it leads to the bridge going over
to the Fifth ward. The .water floods the
north sidewalk aud the street to a depth of
two feet. This block was paved with gravel
some, three or four years ago and this wash-
ing lias well nigh ruined it. The cause of
the 'overflow is the filling up of the ditches

once have opened up.

A CRAZY MEXICAN.

and have him placed uuder proper restraint.

Torre, and when in his right mind is polite
and gentlemanly in his deportment, and ap-

as he reads and writes Spanish, French and

egraphy. He is subject to fits of dementia,
unci at these times is always announcing his
candidacy for election or appointment to
some office, A good many, prompted by
motives of fu^ tease and aggravate him,
and some t irrIP they are liable to goad him
until he commits some act of desperation.
Yesterday, imagining himself an officer,
and armed with a bogus commission which
some one had given him, he sallied forth
with the intention of bringing guilty par-
ties to justice. He tried to arrest a lady who

gress street for violating the Sunday law by
keeping her door open, and it was with some
difficulty that he was removed.

FAMOUS WOMEN.
It is a significant fact that most of the women
who have achieved fume in art, literature, or
";ill'air-;". have enjoyed vigorous health. This
shows that the mind is never capable of tho se-

creative work, unless the body is at its best. The
