HORRIBLE BUTCHERY.
Nine Prisoners Slaughtered I'm a Cell
Of the Bell iOunty, Texas, Ja1I.

From the Waco (Texasl Advanced
From Mr.. H. J. Chamberlain, of Bell
county, we learn the particulars of a
tragedy that ranks among the blOodiest
recorded of Texas mobs. For some time
past Bell county has been infested with
a number of bad men, principally horse
thieves, and eleven were confined in the
county jail, nine of whom were ia the
cage. On last Monday night, at about
one o'clock, crowd of one hundred and
three men, mounted and armed, ap-
preached the jail and demanded admis-
sion of the jsilOT, who, with four young
men fr0h the town, constituted the
guard. Upon this being refused they
proceeded to break in and kill nine OF
the prisoners (thOse confined in the
nage). The names of those killed are as
follows: John Alexander, alias Daley,
William Henry Grumbles, w. s. Smith,
J. S. Mcdonald, Marion Mcdonald,
Wingfeld, Beckneal, Crow and Lloyd
Coleman, ali charged with horse steal
ing, except Coleman, Eh9 lately MUIR
dered his wife in GOreyeil VoTnty.
Massey, q prisoner in an adjoining room,
who, with another prisoner, was not mo-
Tested, says that the prisoners were ques-
toned as to the charges against them,
and then shot. w. H. Grumbles cursed
the killing pasty conaiiersbly, and on
being missed on the arst Gre, invited
them to try again, which they did, and
William HenTy-Grumbles no more,
either at being gRsZed 81 an unreason-
able hour, or at their EsG Hqgksnlan-
ship. The jury Of inquest rendered
verdict that they came to their death by
gun and pistol shot wounds, inflicted by
parties to them unknown. The public

the killing. Tue sheTiff was absent in

HAVANA, June 6.-Captain- General
COncha has issued decree intended to
arrest the rapid rise Of gold, which is
considered to be solely due to the recent
law compelling importers to pay twen-
ty-five per cent. of the duties in gold,
the treasury no longer receiving the
equivalent Of this twenty-five per cent.

orders the Spanish bank to sell gold on
account of the island treasury at less
premium than that quoted on the ex-
change OF by the brokers, Coucha fixing
the amount of the premium for which
government gold is tD be sold, the daily
rate for the current day being posted at
the entrance of the bank every merning

SUNSET Cox, in a recent speech on
the "folly and cost OF diplomacy" said
Of some unknown islands TO which il
was proposed to send a United States
conmlssion, consuls, and the like, that
the terra inc0gnita was bounded on the
north by the aurora borealis; on the east
by sunrise; on the south by the south
pole; on the west by'-'SunsetH' ex-
claimed Mr.. Beck. "That's personal, "
said Mr.. COX-"On the west" be con-
tinued, "by the day Of judgment" They
are situated in the midst Of an inexpres-
sible wGtery waste and It is for these re-
mote isles that the farmer burns his un-
transportable corn in Illinois, for these
the drsyman and truckman starve in
louthern and western cities. But the
schOolboys will be charmed by Sunsets
lessons in geography, and those older by
the practical wisdom embodied in this
most attractive and readable speech de-
Iivered during the year in Washington.

THE GROWING CROPS.
The wheat, Corn and Oat CrOps-BiE
Crops, and n Generally Good
Prospect.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, June 6.-The
National Crop Reporter will publish to-
morrow information in relation to the
growing crops, of which the following Is
synopsis: The area sown i'm wheat
last season in the States of Illinois, In
diana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Mis-
souri,, Ohio and Wisconsin, is estimated
in round numbers at thirteen million
five hundred thousand acres. The re-
ports OF correspondents make this Sn in
crease the present crop year of one mill
lien three hundred and sixty-seven thou
sand seven hundred and hfty-three acres,
or total area OF fourteen million eight
hundred and twelve thousand three hum
dred and forty-four acres. The yield OF
good average season spproximates, in
the States mentioned, thirteen and four
fiftbs bushels per acre. At this rate the
yield in these States at harvest will be
fraction less than two hundred million
bushels. The present condition of the
growing wheat being a full average, the
Obability of a harvest apprOximating
the amount mentioned svery good. The
area seeded in oats In the same
States in 1873, is placed at four
millions five hundred and twenty-seven
acres. The increase this year is estimated
at one hundred and fifty-nine thousand
acres, or a total of five millions six hun
dred and eighty-seven thousand acres,
at the average yields OF q good season,
say about thirty-three and half bushels
to the acre. The total crop at the harvest
in these States will approximate one
hundred and ninety million bushels.
The reports received, dated June LIST, in
dicate the appearance generally of the
Colorado beetle in all the States north of
the Ohio river, from and including Gen.
tral Kansas to Western Pennsylvania.
Their appearance thus far;hss been very
marked by the more or less en-
tire destruction of the tops of the grow
ing crop, while the presence Of the
chinch bug is not received in large num-
beTs. In scattering localities all through !
the west comparatively little damage
has been reported.

reasons are assigned for this sudden

ly accepted one is, that failing TO excite
popular interest thus far, there is no need
for further experiment. The audience
at the lecture last night was decidedly
small and exceedingly unappreciative.
