THE WEE X.

The week just closing has been one Of ex-
traordinary excitement and ieverishnesss. A
state, congressional, and county election oc
curing on Tuesday, the balance of the week
has been devoted to anxious inquiry as to the
result.
Like a ship freighted with gay and jolly
passengers sailing full speed upon a rock, our
5 tate struck the ballot box, and the next thing
is to see who survived the wreck. Many a
gallant sailor went down in Tuesdays wreck,

lmost regret chat any had been left to tell the
tale.
Looking in upon the households Of our city
we find that many plate has been untouched,

with the tears of mothers who shared the fate
or misfortunes of their husbands.
We have not been the only mentally, phys

now tomorrow will be day of rest. Let
nature lay her soft hand upon your heart and
still its feverish throb; let your mind steal
back over the past for lessons, and glance on
ward in the future for hope, and when Mon
days sun rises let US throw behind US this

THE BEACON CASE.
illness OF the PrisOner---Facts Adduced
Tending to Establish his Innocence

"a :. BEACON. ii prisoner in Jail charged with
Killing Dave Piggott at Devils river ON the
Eth OF hast December, is very i'll For some
Time PRIOR to his incarceration he suffered with
heart disease and his confinement has had such
delcterious effect that almost daily medical
supervision is becoming necessary. Mr.. Iiea-
com Is Il gentleman by birth and edIIcat ion.
He was graduated with hOnoIS at West Point
and subsequently gained distinction by his SER
wee WIN the regular army. In his youth his
connection with such men IA Cameron and NJ
,. Cray OF Pennsylvania made him noted in
politics More recently he gained nOtOriety as
the best mounted inspector OH the Rio Gryndc
border.
Mr. Beacon was on trial ut Brackett few
weeks ago Before the court convened prriu-
dice was so strong against him that bets were
made four and fvc to one that he would be
convicted. But in the course of the proceed
ngs facts were disclosed which tended to
augment the little sympathy he had be-
fore aroused, and to- effect great
change in public opinion. The jury until nov
expected to render verdict of guilty, were
unable to agree, though but one was disposed
to hanging the prisoner At present but few
II any persons think i'll of Mr.. Beacon i'll con
ncctlon with the tragedy and many, some who
before his trial used their influence against
him., have offered to become sureties on his
BOND to the entire extent of their poSscssiOils
III Is now commonly believed that Mr.. Beacon
Is simply the victim of unfortunate circum-
stances and that he will have no difficulty in
securing an acquittal when again put on trial
are, briefly these:
Dave Piggott, one Of Beacom's best friends
while drunk entered Il saloon. in which were
BEACON, Joe. Ware, Il man named Jackson
Jim Hannah, Pat. Thompson and several other
persons. Beacon. though himself slightly
under the influence of liquor us
were the others mentioned, became
cognzant of the condition of Piggott and en-
deaNorcd to take him home, but he resisted
At this Juncture the attention of two men was
drawn to Thompson and jackson who were en-
gagged In an alteration in corner of the ROOM
and they both went thither. Beacon drew his
revolver and held II in the air-a precautionary
measure not ut all uncommon in Texas ami
talked to the combatantS, attempting to secure
their separation. Joe Ware, misjudging iie,l-
com action, and cOnccVing the idea that per-
hapS he intended to shoot jackson or ThOmp-
SON, caught his hand. Then Beacon attempted
to withdraw his hand from Ware 5 grasp. While
he was SO engaged Il shot WIS fired and PiggOtt
fell, mortally wounded. The pistols of the in
mates or the room were not examined. Dur
ing the trial physicians testified that ii was ;Gr
impOSSibility for Beacon to discharge the fatal
mssiNc uS ii came To and entered the body ina
different direction. One Of the men who was
present, Jim Hannah suddenly quilted the
country aud is now, it is thought. in Mexico
Other important developments will be made in
the next trial.
