FORT WORTH, May q. loS0.
One of our citizens has plans arranged TO
proceed at once to build and patent cot
ton picking machine. He has never seen or
heard of any other patent, and, therefore, his
can be no infringement on any other. This
invention is also on the adhesive pro ess,
somewhat like the one already in use, but
less costly and more simple. 1t will do the
work of ninety hands and pick ten acres of
cotton per dsy.--Rev. Samuel Kearn has
been transferred from Fort Worth circuit to
Saint Paul's Methodist Episcopal church, of
this city, and will begin his pastorate next

birth but raised in Canada. He is gradu-
ate of a Wesleyan college. He began preach
ing in Canada. He was transferred to the
Baltim ore conference, thence to Virginia in
1866. In 1870 his voice gave way when he
quit preaching and Travelled. For the last
three years his home has been in this neigh
borhood. He is an accomplished scholar and
speaker, and will doubtless do much good
here.--Farmers are reported busy harvest

COUGH ON
The Great Lecturer Condemns
Those Who Paty Onize the
Great kcfress.

In a lecture in Boston on Thursday
night John B. Cough thus alluded to
Bernhardt. The lecture was a new n
and the house was crowded. In the
course Of the lecture he told how.
when a boy Of fifteen, he became stage
struck at the old Bowery theater in
New York, where he saw the elder
Booth play, and how he was kept
from becoming an actor only by the.
disgust he felt when he afterward dis
covered the shams and tinsels of show,
Of the life underlying what, to bis boy
ish eye, was a splendid reality. Later
In the lecture, in the course Of a few
words addressed to the protested
christians Of his audience, he said:
You cant condemn that which o
copdene; You can't cry out against
that with which you fraternize. In
my opinion those who purchase tickets
to witness the performance Of a woman
as noted for her wickedness as for her
genius can never again cry down i'm
morality"
Though not referring to Bernhard
by name it was evident to the audi
ence that it was against her that these
words were directed. They were APP
plauded very vigorously.

these fish and game merchants not

for the Taxing District authorities to
protect them.

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.
A CoISFed Woman Beat and Left
for Dead and her Daughter
Pitched into the Bayou.

About halfpast six o'clock, a re-
spectacle colored woman named Ellen
Dausbury, and her daughter Mary
Hardy, we're walking along johnson
avenue near tie Raleigh road, when
they were suddenly assaulted from be-
hind by some person or persons in
ambush. The elder woman was struck
first, the weapon being an eight pound
Aat-iron. Her daughter screamed and
ran toward the bayou, and was
followed by one of the assailants, who
overlook her while crossing the bayou
bridge. She was caught AID thrown to
the floor Of the bridge. Her assailant
slen struck her in the mouth with
the fat iFon, cutting one lip nearly in
two and breaking all her front teeth
short of at the gums. The would be
murderer then dropped the iron and
made his escape from the neighbors
who were fast collecting, being aroused
by the cries Of the girl, They found
the mother, Ellen Dausbury, first.
She was lying on the sidewainI ~ .
pool of blood, her head battered into
a shapeless mass. GroaDs we're after
ward heard in the bayou and the
daughter was found, half immersed in
water and bleeding profusely from the
wound on her face. Both we're deep
ly insensible and many hours passed
after they were conveyed home be-
fore they we're brought back to
life. 1t was SO dark neither
Of them could give an accurate de-
scription of their assailants, though
both agreed one was a woman or a
man dressed as a woman, and the
other was a man. A negro man named
A. Trice was arrested this morning by
Captain O'Haver on suspicion Of hay-
ing committed the deed. His bail
will not DO fixed until the condition Of
the woman, which is now very preca-
riOus, can be more certainly told.
This affair seems to be but the Sc
quel to another more horrible in its
details than this. A few months
since, another daughter of Ellen
Dausbury, named Annie Hardy, was
mysteriously murdered near the same
place,
One Sunday right while the balance
Of the family were at church, she
remained at home in bed sick. While
asleep some one entered the room and
pierced her body in several places with
an ice pick, beating her brains out

mics, was a girl not more than fourteen
years of age, and the vile perpetrator

and nearly exterminated are very

never been engaged in any affair Of
their own making which brought them
