Noted Murler-Trial in Texas.

A special to the Republican, from Dal-
las, Texas, Of August Goth, says:
The case of the state VS.. A. Y. Obcn-
chain, NJ. Pointer and r. S. Rosser,
charged with the murder of J. w. Cald-
cr, about year ago, was called in the
district court, and an entire day spent in
the preliminaries. Severance was gran
ted, and Pointer goes to trial. Only
three Jurors were secured out of two We
nires of 60 men each. The case is one
Of the most interesting in the criminal
history of the state. All the parties arc
highly respectable and prominent men.
Calder was eX president Of the Dallas
and Wichita railroad, and the men who
killed him were his associates. Difficult
ties of the road called for the appoint
ment Of a receiver, mainly through Cal
der's efforts. A bitter feeling resulted ,
and one morning, about year ago, Ros-
ser, 0berchain and Pointer met Calder
in the streets of Dallas. Words passed
about railroad matters, and the parties
shot and killed Calder They shot him
six times, blowing his brains out, after
he was down, by putting pistol to his
head. Calder was also armed and fired
several Intellectual shots at his assalaats.
The accused are among the prominent
men in North Texas, and Calder was
equally so, and stood high in Pennsyl
vana. Rosser is brother of Gen. Ros-
ser, confederate cavalry officer. The
ablest counsel has been secured, and
great legal efforts will be made.

DEVELOPMENT OF the Heart.

Prof Benoke, of Marburg, Germany,
after measuring $40 human hearts, says
that the growth Of that organ is'greatest
in the first and second years of life. At
the end of the second year it is doubled
in size, and during the next five years is
again doubled. Then its growth is much
slower, though from the fifteenth to the
twentieth year its size increases by two
thirds. A very slight growthlis then
observed up to fifty, when it gradually
diminishes. Except childhood mems
hearts are decidedly. larger than those Of

A PARTIAL solution OF the Chinese
question has been suggested by Justice
Field, OF the Supreme Court. He
points out the fact that under the present
treaty the Chinese have the advantage.
Americans are accorded very few privi-
leges by the Chinese. They are allowed
to enter only designated ports, and to
do business in few cities. They can
not work mines, build railroads or
navigate streams without special per-
mission, while the Chinese are allowed
to do whatever they like in this coun-
try. Mr.. Field suggests that, after due
notice, the present treaty be abrogated,
and new one entered into, by which
Chinese in America shall be put on the
same footing with Americans in China.
The almost unanimous vote against
Chinese immigration at the late election
in California indicates that this question
is to come prominently before the coun-
try before long.
