A SHERIFF APPOINTED

GOOD FOR PEACE.
Leading Woodpeckers Will Leave the Coun-
ty—Light Guard Relieved by Rangers—
Xhe Wounded Recovering—Lengthy
Trials to Follow.
Richmond, Tex., August 20.—After a
night in which happened the most Impor-
tant and decisive event since the fatal shoot-
ing of l«Bt Friday a beautiful morning
dawned. It was not hot and sultry, but de-
lightfully happy. Richmond smiled like a
garden of richest flowers after having en-
joyed one gl nature's most refreshing show-
ers Of rain. The temperature was soft,
balmy, genial, and tne luxuriant verdure
sparkled in the sunlight with the liquid
diamonds of heaven as though it felt
the thrill of joy over the work
of last night, whioh was that indicated in
Thk News'special from here, relative to
the effect of the woodpeckers' cancus in
trying to unite on the name of Aten for
sheriff. This, as stated then, was agreeable
to the jaybirds, but was objected to by the
woodpeckers. The former had through
their chairman declined to submit another
proposition, and thus they seemed to cut
down the hope of harmony and the restora-
tion of the proper governmental machinery,
without going through a long and perhaps
painful purification according to the un-
bending exactions of taw.
Suoh was the situation late yesterday
afternoon, when the woodpeokers, embrac-
ing the county officials, weiit into caucus,
with Assistant Attoril»y-general Harrison
and Captain L. P. Sieker present and
strongly encouraging them to grapple with
the vexed question, returned to them by
the ultimatum of the jaybirds, who seemed
also anxious to do the fair thing by getting
a just and efficient man in the office of
sheriff.
When they started in it was known that
some of the party were willing to accept the
proposed settlement under the distressing
circumstances, but others were against it.
The caucus in the county attorney's office
lasted till midnight and the situation was
presented ill all of its phases. There was
not a poifit ilor or against but what was
mado and the situation was viewed from
every standpoint, the disputants even plac-
counsel asked that it be tried by * district
judge, and to that end J udge Cleveland was
wis afternoon wired at Galveston to be
■Ment and perform the service.
W~ Js certain that a large number of ar-
Jw1' yijl be made of participants in the
fatal nght of Friday, nnd hence there is nu
tolling when the preliminary trials will be
finished.
On account of the turn affairs have taken
any of the leading woodpeckers will leave
\» county. They bow to the situation, but
iy do not hesitate to say they are leaving
luse they fear for their lives. Dr. Tur-
says he feels professionally bound to re-
n here to see that his two wounded
>l«nts, Judge Parker and Deputy Sheriff
son, recover or get well onough to travel,
ben it is said they will hoth leave. The
'•J® sa'd of Judge Weston, Deputy
win; lom Smith ana two or three of the
county commissioners.
To-night the members of the Ijlght Guard,

t of rangers arrived from Uvalde and

Judge Weston stated the object of the
meeting to be tbe appointment of a sheriff,
the OTnOe now being vacant.
The vote Was taken and Mr. Ira Aten of
the rangers was unanimously elected.
Court then adjourned to give time for the
making of the bond, which amounts to $40,-
000, aba Was signed by the following prom-
inent citizens, wb0 represent a million dol-
lars at least: J. H. P. Davis, T. W. Jones,
Wm. Darst, M. B. Dunlavy, A. Meyer,
Olem Bassett, H. R Former. J. ffi. Dyer,
John M,-Moore. I. McFarland, J. T. Dyer,
W. D. Fields, YaftdalFefis, Sid Winston.
A NBW9 special correspondent then oalled
upon Mr. Aten and in response to a ques-
tion he said: "I fully appreciate the un-
usual responsibilities thrown upon me in
thlfc case, and hope to be nbie to fill tho
position satisfactory to all parties. X feel
that the appointment must be baoked by
the people and If I thought it was not the
wish of bpth sides I should not touch it.
My earnest intention to act justly and
rightfully imluees me to accept it
because I believe I can succeed by the faith-
ful and impartial performance of duty. I
believe that is tha only way any man can
take this place and succeed. I am not de-
pendent upon nor driven to it for a liveli-
hood; but friends and the state officers
hero have urged me to accept it, that the
painful situation now existing may be re-
lieved; and for this purpose, more than
anything else, I take it. Should there bo
any mistake made at any time, it will bo
an eYror of judgment and not of the heart."
Ira Aten is a young man, perhaps slightly
under , medium size, well proportioned,
wcighs'lfiO pounds, sees with a keen blue
eye and Woars hair of a light chestnut
brown. It is thick, but kept cut short. He
was born in 1883 in Peoria county. 111,, but
war, brought to this state when a boy by his
parents, who now live where thev first set-
tled in Travis County, fifteen miles north-
east of Austin. He has been with the
rangers for seven years. He began his ser-
vice InCaptain Sieker's company and knows
the Texas frontier country.from the Pan-
handla down to the coast. He has been In
numerous tight places, and is said to be a
very fine deteotivfe, in which capacity he
did some very bold work in Brown county
about three years ago among the fence cut-
ters, of whom several were killed and the
gong broken up. His parents sro comfort-
ably located at a good home in Travis
county. He was made the sheriff of Fort
Bond county this afternctdh at 3.30 o'clock
by the acceptance of the above mentioned
bond. He Is fo hojd tjip appoint&ient till
the next regular election, £hd if he proves
to be a good officer will doubtless he elected
for another term.
The governor, who had thoughtfully
brought a commission blank, filled it and
gave it to him. The two Gibsou boys, Gilf
and Yolney.who siuc? their arrest had been
in charge of the rangers, were turned over
to the sheriff to be held for their prelimi-
nary trial, which was fixed by agreement of
A noPEFUL VIEW.
Richmond, Tex.,August 90.^—Sheriff Aten
has called two gentlemen, John Ollveof Tay-
lor, Williamson; county and Captain A fi.
Coffee of Burnet. The former was for years
a sheriff of Williamson county aud mado a
high reputation for bravery and snccessful
management. Captain Coffee was at one
time a sheriff and member of the rangers.
Both are regarded by Assistant Attorney-
general Harrison and Captain Sieker as
superb selections If they will both come.
Mr. Coffee has been heard from, and though
engaged in business, will leave to-morrow
to come hers.
The change of affairs here has produced
almost a revolution in the appearance of
the town. This evening about 7 o'clock
your correspondent asked Governor Ross
what he thought of the outlook. He re-
pltM by saying: "Just look at the streets
no#." It was observed that a dozen or
more ladies and as many girls and children
were promonadlng in sight, enjoying tho
beauties of the evening and reveling in the
comfortable thought of prospective peace,
plenty and safety. It was a gladsome eight,
and one in which all seemed to rejoice. The
governor said he thought there was no
rbance for any further bitterness of feeling
ov trouble.

Palestine, Tex., August 20.—Six prison-
ers, all negroes, broke jail at this place and
made their escape last night. The parties
were Sam Holly, charged with rape; War-
ren Lockett, rape; Bob Kyle and Ben Henry,
assault to murder; Gns Sims and Plummer
Freeman, theft of money. Bob Kyle is a
ginger colored negro, the bilance all black
and all large men, raiydpg from 35 to 45
years of age. Of tli» tWOraplsts Holly is a
young man and his irime waa the attempt
to rape a 7-yenr-Qld fiegio girl. Lockett's
attempt was upon a nesro girl 14 years of
age. Lockett Is about 85 years of age. black,
and a hard-tooking oltizsb.

that the wofk Of sawing tho holt was going

that the delivery was planned and executed

the offleers were in and about tho jail all
day yesterday, and had any unusual noise
besn made would oertainly have detected
it. A deputy was in the Juil last nizht, but

To Dr. S. A. Stone, Chairman of the Citi-
zens' Mass Meeting of Fort Bend County,

August 19, A D. 1830, to prepare such reso-
lutions of respect to the memory of our do
ceased fellow citizen, Henry H. Frost, and

pathy and condolence whioh should always

ties ho lost his life, respectfully submit the

bled,

their cliivalrlc father and husband ma
nay give
birth to auch benefits to tho cause of law,
order and good government in this county
as will for all time to come constitute a
monumont to the memory of Honry H.
Frost and establish his name and character
as a fit example to De emulated and fol-
lowed by tho youth of this community, and
thus furnish to the wounded hearts of his
loved ones tho consolation that his death
has not been in vain.
3. Be it resolved that in |he doath of
Henry H. Frost the state of Texans has lost
a brave and chivalrous citizen, who at all
times responded with alacrity to theoall of
duty and discharged the burthens imposed
upon him In a manner which challenged
the admiration of all.
3. That In the death of Honry H. Frost
Fort Bend county in its municipal capacity
h<\s met with a loss to its citizenship that
tiilie can not repair nor future prosperity
replace, The lowliest of its citizens

BIG IRON WORKS.
New York, August 20.—[Special]—A
Tribune special from Port-Hu-Prluce,
August 8, sayn These wo exeiting times
for Ha.vti, and incidents follow each other
iu ranid succession. The Spanish gunboat
Sanchez went to St. Marie Inst Monday
morning, having the English consul-gen-
eral and the Spanish consul on bofrd Their
visit was tha result of a conference between
the diplomatic body with the exception of
United States Minister Thompson and leg-
itime. The two consujs, mentioned above
were empowered to make pe»ce with Gen-
eral Hippolyte, but the first demand of
Legitime that the northern army should be
withdrawn and thut Hippolyte was to enter
Port-au-Prince with a small bodyguard
knocked that arrangement in the head
Hippolyte then dictated his terms and the
Spanish gunboat returned here Tuesday
evening at 7 p. m. The meeting at the
palace directly after wus stormy. The mem-
bers of the cabinet drew guns on each other
at different times during the night and
next morning, but uo killing was
done. It was moderately understood iu
Port-au-Prince Monday that the course of
hostilities had been arranged, and in conse-
quence most of the troops left the fortifica-
tions to see and hear what was going on at
headquarters, and iu order to get them
hack to their placoj the guns of all the
forts were fired numbers of times, giving
the impression that thoofty was being at-
tacked by Hippolyte. Tbe city had beeu
entirely undefended on the road to the souJ,l»
uutil Monday, when the near approach of
the disaffected troops from Jacmel, Jeremi<r,
Aux Cayes and l^sozane, having about 300
of Hlppolyte's soldiers with them, caused
great activity In arming and equipping the
old fort at Bisolon, the same, by tne way,
which was onco captured by sixty F.ng>
lish sailors. The steamer Panama landed
with two guns and ammunition, and the
plain was quickly put in a condition for de-
fense. The road which this fort commands
Is the only outlet to the south, and is one
of the few passable roads in Hayti. A
stream of peoplo has been hurrying into the
city ovor this road with their household
offecta. Two weeks ago they were just as
anxious to getout of Port-an-Prince wheu
there was danger of bombardment. There
was a hunted expression on every face as if
its owner had little hop • of being safe any-
where. Troops ure scattered along the road
getting their living out of neighboring
gardens, as no rations were served out, and
It must be worse beyond the fort whero au
unofficerod mob is waiting until strong
enough to march upon the opposing forces.
The soldiers made insolent demands on all
foreigners for money to buy ram and gave
the idea that it would not bo safe to refuse.
The minister of war. Bene Pieno, is iu
charge of the works here and only goes

two salutes of twenty-one guns fired. The
wildest excitement reigned in town. Some
feared that Legitime would not come back,
and others hoped that they had seen the
last of him. All quieted down a few hours
later when he returned to the palace. This

here, and her destination though a secret
is probably St. Marie, Legitime probably
having agreed to Hlppolyte's terms. There
is a rumor on the streets to-night that
Legitime has been guaranteed a safe passage
out of tho Country and a certain amount of
cash, and that he is to leavo here in the
French steamer August I t, but many think
that li'.s lite will not be spared that ioug iu
