BURGLARIES IN HOUSTON,
3EVEBAL ARTICLES OF SMALL VALUE
BUT LITTLE OASE
Eleotrio Fana Have Arrived to Keep the
Democrats Oool at the Big Convention.
Accommodations for Visitors.
Correspondents' Headquarters — Capitol
Lote).
Business and Circulator's Off ice, 92 Main
street, under Capitol hotel. Kortlio reception of
advertisements and where subscribers failing to
receive their papers will plcaso report.
Houston, Tes., Aug, G.—a bold burglar
did some characteristic work this morning
nbout 2 o'clock on Center street iu the Fourth
ward north. Ho entered the residence of Mr.
C. C. Hood, 2112 Center street, took several
articles of small value, searched the pockets
of Mr. Hood's clothes, but found nothing, and
then skipped out.
The private boarding house of Mr. Kemper
was also entered—presumably by the saino
person—and the clothes of three of the lodg-
ers were searched, but only a few (Jimon nre
missing to-day.
The dogs in both the yards made such a
noise that Mr. W. .J. Coulter, who lives next
door, was aroused, and upon looking out of
the front door he heard the footfalls of the
burglar as he tied.
A few weeks ago Wni. Kemper's house waB
burglarized and a fine watch stolen. Win.
Coultor states that lie and others in his neigh-
borhood have rubbed up their double-barrels
and loaded thein with buckshot, and the next
callers of this kind may ex poet a warm recep-
tion. He advises other people to be on the
lookout, as the burglars are now working the
town, and will likely keep it up till after the
state convention.
Oettlns Ready for the Convention.
Work on the large hall for holding the state
democratic convention is now progressing
very rapidly and will be complete before the
day fixed for the meeting.
".'he electric fans havo arrived in the city
mid will be put in position in ample time.
There are thirty of them and in the hands of
Contractor Wm. Williams, thoy will raise a
breeze when they start.
The committee on public comfort, of which
Mr. H. F. McGregor is chairman, has already
secured rooming accommodations for 1000
people and eating places for 2500.
The committee has arranged for special
rates on all of the railroads, and are now try-
ing to get them put on at an earlier date than
the 14th instant, and will likely succeed, as the
Houston and Texas (Central and Aransas Pass
railroad companies have alroady made the
concession and the special rate can be secured
from date. The Southern Pacific, the Santa
Fe; the International and Great Northern and
the Houston, East and West Texas will no
doubt come in at once and thus prevent a
great rush on one or two days by distributing
the same travel over several days.
Hon. George Clark has secured two elegant
rooms at the Hutchins house for his headquar-
ters, and Governor Hogg two of the same kind
at the Capitol for the same purpose. There
has been quite a rush of applications for ac-
commodations within the past two days.
An Unknown Man Drowned.
This noon as Captain Fred Allen of the
steamer Eugene came up Buffalo bayou he
discovered the body of a drowned man float-
ing just below the International and Great
Northern railway bridge.
It had the appearance of having been life-
less several days. As soon as the captain ar-
rived in town ho notified .Judge Schwander
who immediately went down to hold an in-
quest. There was very little to be learned
about it. A little negro boy named Kelly
White made the following statement:
"Last Thursday evening, about 4 p. m., I
paw deceased sitting on the bank of the bayou,
near the International and Great Northern
bridge, and lie asked for u cup of coffee. I
Raid I didn't have any coffee. That is all I
know about it."
Deceased was well dressed and was of
medium size. He wore short grayish whisk-
ers. From papers in his pockot. his name is
supposed to be Andress Bornhoim or iiern-
heim. A letter dated St. Louis, November
27, 1890, was addressed to the above name.
The letter head was the De La Vergne reirig-
erating machine company.
A card in the pockets bore the name of Al-
fred Charles Zeinbrood or Zombrook.
Among other things in the pocket3 wero a
small crucifix, a large barlow knife, a pair of
spectacles and Sevoral letters in German. Tho
body was buried this evening. Death must
l.ave occurred live days ago.

♦he father was aiming the rifle to shoot at a
target and the son thoughtlessly passed in
front of the muzzle as the rifle was di6-
cna rgeu, the ball taking effect in the back of
te aiJ^ causing death in n few hours.
1 be other is that a cartridge was being
placed in the breech of the gun and was (lis
chargod, the ball taking effect as above stated,
Tho father is almost frantic with grief, as

making the greatest increase sinco 1874. The
total population is 68,335, which is quito grati-
fying to Houstonians.
It is tho completest book of the kind Hous-
ton has ever had, and gives all of the informa-
tion concerning the city that a business man,
n traveler, a tourist or a purchaser
of property could use. A valuable
feature is the explanatory showing
of the routes of the new electric car lines
The directory of the streets and the house-
numbering system are embraced in it.
The Morocco covering is a big and valuable
improvement, giving greater durability to the
book. The profaee to tho work is a valuable
contribution to city lore and gives a clear idea
of the past and present and something of tho
future of the city. It contains tho highest
praise concerning the growth of Houston, her
solidity, and the facts upon which it is based
and upon which people all over the state and
country are now investing in Houston prop
erty.

Concrete, Tex., Aug. 0.—Rev. .J, C. White,
pastor of tho Yoakum Baptist church, assisted
by Mr. V. C. Hart of Galveston, closed Thurs-
day night one of the most successful revivals
ever held in this section of the state. Peoplo
from Yoakum, Cuero and other points were in
attendance. The services were held under the
large gospel tent of Mr. White. He attacks
sin in all quarters, and does it in a kind and
convincing way. In his sermon ho referred
to tho suppression of the Louisiana lottery
and referred to its evil effects, and said that
right here in Texas was being carried on a
gambling scheme far worse in its effocts upon
tho moralB of Texas than even the Louisiana
lottery. He referred to the scholarship con-
test latoly carried on by a south Texas daily,
and said that he regretted that no postmaster
iu Texas had the courage to interfere and put
a stop to the nefarious business. Ho said the
scholarship contest business was a gambling
scheme, pure and simple, and the postal au-
thorities should see that the law was vindi-
cated. Messrs. White and Hart left for Hal-
lettsville, where they began a revival under the
large tent Friday.
Splendid rains in this section the past few
days. Crops of all kinds very tine.
Cotton worms and boll worms havo put in
their appearance.
Drouth Sufferers Come In.
El Paso, Tex., Aug. 4.—In an interview
Special Agent Irvin of the treasury depart-
ment stated that tho government olliciais
were meeting with considerable difficulty in
suppressing tho influx of paupers from Mexico
into the United States. That the river was so
low that they forded it at any point, and as the
government guards are few and far between
no trouble was experienced in entering this
country; he further stated that fully fifty were
returned to Mexico last month by Immigrant
Inspector Malloy, and every effort possiblo
with the small force was being used to keep
thin undesirable element out of this country.
However, the city is filled with paupers from
across the river who wore offering their labor
for 25 cents per day.
Several sensational arrests have been mado
in Mexico recently by the government upon
charges of political conspiracy against the
country. Tho recent presidential election
furnished tho issue and opposition to Diaz,
looked upon as almost treasonable, was the
basis for complaint.
All of tho big Texas and Pacific officials lent
their presence to El Paso yesterday. General
Superintendent L. S. Thorne, Assistant Su-
perintendent J. W. Everman. Purchasing
Agent Abram Gould and Division Superin-
tendent .1. B. Paul wero all here, and it is
rumored that their mission was in connection
with Jay Gould's purchase while here of the
W hit© Oaks railroad.

getting his mail, but domes molesting any-
thing else. A trunk was broken open in
which registered packages were kept, but tho
packages wore overlooked, and nothing was
missed from the trunk. The accused thinks a

The weather is still clear and dry. Some

A Suspect Arrested at L-umcIo- A Soldier's
Fatal Fali.
Lakedo, Tex., Aug1. (>.—Several days s»inoo
Deputy United States Marshal Yglesiasof this
city received a letter containing a warrant
from United States Commissioner Downs of
Rio Grande City statin# that the post oil ice at
that place had been broken into and robbed
of considerable money and stamps and to
look out for a man by the name of William
Howard, who was supposed to have com-
mitted the robbery. A stranger answering
the description of Howard was arrested aud
placed in jail and is awaitiny further develop-
ments.
Yesterday morning the body of a United
States soldier, Leopold Weginann, was found
lying in one of the arroyos in the western
suburbs of the town in a dyinjj condition nnd
died shortly after being discovered. His re-
mains were taken to the post, where an ex-
aminination was made, which resulted in tho
discovery that the soldier's neck had been
broken. Wegmann had been drinking pretty
freely during the night before and the theory
is that while wandering about in a druSiken
condition he fell from the b'utf some thirty
feet. Two dollars and sixty cents was found
on his person.
Deputy United States Marshal E. F. Ha 11
of this city, charged with having committed
an assault with intent to murder, was ac-
quitted before trial by having fully estab-
lished an alibi for his defense.
J. 0. Nicholson, esq., Thomas W. Dodd,

judicial convention held at Austin, returned
