The death of Mrs. Louisa Pena, in the city
hospital last week, from the effects of abor.
lion committed prior to her admission into
that institution, has excited considerable
SPECULATION. Whether she did it herself, or
i was done by the aid of a physician, will in
all probability never be determined def
nitely.-C. Il. Lynch, formerly telegraph
operator at Bremond, but more recently of

Thus far he has not been found, although q
detective has been detailed to search the
train for him His wife is in Houston and is
exceedingly anxious about her missing hus.

has been foully dealt with. II may prove to

schooner, E. D. Sudbury, which has been en-
gagged in Tightening the bark Herbert, now
lying 10 the outer roads If salt came into
port last evening with her fore )topmast gone
and deck badly damaged. Too
large quantity of salt was placed on deck,
causing the timber to give way, making an
opening ia the floor near the water line, and
causing the hasty dumping of some l,0oO
sacks of salt to prevent the laundering OF
the vessel. The question as to who is to pay
for the salt will be an interesting one for con-
:iderstion. The Sudbury is now lying at the
wharf undergoing repairs. "A rumor is
current that protests will be filed against the

alarm telegram or not could not be ascer-
