Mr.. STURGEON ON DIR. ROBERTSON
SMITH In the October number of the. S,0ord
and Iroloet Mr.. Spurgeon writes, Mr.. Robert
son Smith enjoys fair reputation among schol-
airs; but let him be never so intelligent and
enthusiastic student of mouldering manu-
scripts raked up from the dust heaps of the
mosques of Cairo, he ought to have understood
that his appointment to a chair in Aberdeen
implied an obligation to teach the standards
OF the Free Church of Scotland, and net to start
any new hypothesis among his pupils. If he
DIVORCES from the obvious path of duty it is
unfair, and the Commission dismisses or sus-
ponds him as a matter of course To the Scot
tish public he may appeal in series of lectures
but he is wrong to suppose that he has griev-
ance. Were his every grafton applauded to
the echo it would not convince us that he was
morally right in the first instance. Surely our
church organizations ought not to be less clearly
defined than political clubs, to which members
are elected with an understanding. The Carl
TON is not for Radicals THE Co6den' is not for
rdrotectlonists, and we can hardly imagine that
THE Free Rark' was ever intended to nourish
free-thinking"

A Medic .Fracas.

On Saturday night DIR. Amos Graves and
DR.. Adolph Herff were called to attend the
man Britt who was injured by the railway COL
lision. DIR. Amos Graves was requested to
take exclusive charge the case, and while at
tending to his patient, a party, among which
was DR.. Chew, came to the house, and wanted
to know if a man who had been hurt on the
railway was there. They were told yes, and
he was being attended TO. They then said,
we have got the doctor here and must see him.
DIR. Graves declined to allow this, and as DIR.
Chew ives getting on the gallery he gently
pushed him back, on which DR.. Chew struck
at DIR. Graves This led to a puglistic en-
counter between the two doctors which con-
timed until DIR. Adolph Herff stepped be-
tween them and separated the combatants.

A Railroad Accident.

On Saturday night the 9 O'Clock passenger
train on the International road, came in COL
lision with an OK team at the crossing Of the
Boerne road, killing three Of the oxen and in
Turing the driver very severely. The drivers
name is Britt and he is from Lavaca county,
his wagon was loaded with lumber and the
team had almost crossed the track when the
engine struck them cutting them in two, killing
the wheel oxen and injuring one other SO that
it had to be killed. The man was along side
his team and was knocked some distance into
the ditch and was found insensible, and al
though no bones are broken, he is thought to
be injured internally. The headlight Of the
engine was found alongside the injured team
ster. The engineer did not stop to see the
extent of his collision, and the injured man
was rescued by the people in the neighbor-
hood, and taken to the house Of Mr.. Handy
and attended by Drs. Amos Graves and
Adolph Herf.
The train had narrow escape, as in an in.
slant or so more the heavy wagon and its freight
would have been on the track and a terrible
collision would have been the consequence.

An ATTEMPT ut Murder.

An Attempt ut Murder.
Yesterday morning, about 9 O'Clock, Thos.
Brown, colorSahan, went to the residence Of
Sam Johnson, on Goliad street, to demand
box of goods that he had left In his care.
Johnson refused to deliver it up, and as far as
we can learn, assigned no reason for the re-
fusal. Brown urged that he wanted some har.
ness out of the box for man whose team had
broke down, but as johnson still refused to
deliver the box, Brown was leaving, declaring
that he would 60 and get the box BY law,
when Johnson ran at him with knife, on
which Brown seized iron bucket lying handy
and threatened if he came At him to hit him
with it. Johnson desisted, and Brown passed
on, but when he got little farther Johnson
again run at him, on which Brown picked up
a rock lying on an adjacent pile, and threat
ened to throw it If he did not 60 away. John
son then said, ''now, I'll kill you," and went
inside the house. He came out Immediately,
armed with carbine, and shot at Brown, who
turning round, was grazed by the bullett in the
knee. Johnson has been arrested and jailed
for the Offense.

Cyclone Near san Antonio.

On Sunday morning about 1 O'Clock ey-
clone broke forth in the vicinity of the Leon
creek which was of an unusually violent char
acter. Trees were uprooted, fences blown
down, and much damage done. The rock
house and stable of Mr.. F. Braun, who is well
known in San Antonio, was blown down and
his wife and family buried in the ruins Of the
house. Mr.. Braun managed to extricate his
family who were not much injured, beyond
being frightened and bruised, except his son,
who IS internally injured and is thought to be
in dangerous state.
Some idea of the force OF the cyclone can
be formed by the fact that large stones, roof
ing and other building material have been
found at distance OF over a mile from the
scene of the disaster.
