THE engineer of train approaching a
trestle bridge near Norwich, Ct, whis-
tied for down brakes on discovering a
man with bag on his back on the
track. A cloud of dust enveloped the
locomotive as it rushed over the bridge,
sparing the engineer the pain of seeing
a fellow-mortal cut in pieces. As soon
as the train stopped several brakemen
and number of horror-loving passen-
gers went back to pick up the remains.
TO their utter astonishment, they found
beside the track jolly fat negro, cover
ed with about fifty pounds of meal. and
laughing heartily at his plight. When
asked If he was hurt, he replied: "Gol.
| ly, YOU bet dar is whole coon under
| dis yer meal"

The Cultivation OF the Vine and
Manufacture of Wine i'm
Western Texas.
San Antonio Express !

San Antonio Express.l
Yesterday afternoon q reporter O
the cypress met Mr.. G. III. Gibby
who for many years has been 9
manufacturer of wine in southern
California, and who visits this city
for the sole purpose of finding out
whether wine can be manufactured
equally well here as in California.
"What is your opinion OF western
Texas for the culture of the vine ?''
asked the reporter.
81 have only visited a few coun-
ties as yet, bnt from what L have
seen aud heard, | am of the opinion
that there is no state in the Union
better adapted for this purpose.
The dry portions of this state is just
the thing for the Pico grape, and
with few posts to keep up the
vines, large vineyards could be sue
cessfully operated at but trifling
cost, and small outlay of capital"
"Haye you seen any of the native
wine 7"
"Yes, have drank several glasses.
1t is far richer than our California
wine, more pIquant and of a better
flavor. The color is of a rich red.
and there is no necessity OF using
ox-blood, and logwood, as we are
obliged to do"
"Well, do you intend to locate
here 2"
eyes, if l can find suitable To-
cality at reasonable price. Several
gentlemen in Sacramento will join
me, and if all turns out as l expect
it will, you will not be obliged to
send abroad for your wine as you
now do.n

Adjudged Insane-what Colonel
Ed. Bower Thinks.

Special Telegram.l
DALTAs, Feb. 24.-An elegant
lady, Mrs. VIM. Stewart, tried in the
county court on writ of delundtico
enquirendo, was found to be of
unsound mind. The unfortunate
woman's father died several months
ago; little while after, her child
died, and this was the cause Of her
losing her mind. She was con-
stantly under the impression that
people were trying to poison her.
The Texas and Pacific pay car was

a months checks among the boys.
The telegraph poles are about all

can railway between Dallas and

the wire will begin the first part of

e. e. Bower, late chairman Of the
state Democratic executive commit
tee, returned to-day from a two
weeks political pilgrimage through
the state. He says that Governor
Roberts has determined to call the
legislature together in extraordi-
nary session, on the first Tuesday in
April, and will recommend the re-
districtiug Of the state for congress-
ional representation and the leasing
of school lands to cattle men at
certain sum per annum.
Mr.. Bower says he is satisfied, by
the non-committal manner in which
the governor speaks and the posi-
tive tone of his confidential friends,
that he will be a candidate for q
third term, and also 60 before
the legislature for the United
States senate, vice Coke. In regard
to the snrplus funds in the treasury,
amounting to between one and two
million dollars, Governor Roberts
says he has endeavored to purchase
all outstanding Texas bonds, but
bondholders refuse to surrender
them for less than one dollar and
forty cents on the dollar, q higher
rate of credit than has heretofore
ever been enjoyed by any state in
the history of the United States
government. Two years ego Mr..
Bower was a strong opponent OF
Governor Roberts, but is evidently
warm supporter now.

Cure for Texas Fever.

Mr.. John r. Hoxie, who owns one
of the largest and finest farms In
Texas, situated in Williamson
county, claims to have discovered
an antidote for Texas or Spanish
fever. For some years past he is re-
ported to have sent large number
of thoroughbred shorthorn and
Hereford cattle to his farm for
breeding purposes, and claims since
he commenced the use of this rem
edy, he has not lost a single animal.
The following is his own report of
his work, and he is reported as in
every respect reliable man:
al give each animal dose of bella
donna, npon the first appearance of
fever. This usually comes about a
month after the stock reaches Texas,
but not unfreqnently six weeks or
even two months, pass before they
show signs of disease.
Almost every month of the year
[ have sent cattle to Williamson
county, and since began using bel
ladonna, have lost none during the
acclimatization. Nor do l tear |
will lose any so long at L use the
drug. 1 give from a teaspoonful to
tablespoonful at dose, age of the
animal and condition of the
fever regulating the size of the dose.
| have never needed to give more
than three doses to any animal and
often one Is enough.
at should be gwen clear and not
mixed with other matter. Soon
after taking the dose, the animal
will throw up a white froth which
will be quite warm, almost at fever
heat in fact, but no harm comes
from that"
All interested in the matter of in
Producing the best breeds of cattle
in all parts of the country viii be
sincerely glad to see this remedy
firmly established by full expert
ment, as a sovereign one in all cases
where cattle are attacked by Spanish
fever, or as a preventive where cat
tie are becoming acclimated in
Texas. The risk involved is not SC
great per head as where grown ami
mails are taken, and some parties
claim that young cattle get through
the acclimatlng process easier thai
those of mature age do.

Governor Roberts endorsed bill
for 800 for copies of his book, for
the use OF Huntsville normal school,
and his action is severely criticised.
--Brenhdm Banner.
How could Governor Roberts have
done otherwise than endorse the
bill? The books were bought by
Mr.. Baldwin, the principal of the
school, from the publisher and own
or of the edition, and Mr.. Baldwin
approved the bill and it was
approved by the local board
at Huntsville. The board of trustees
had delegated to Governor Roberts
the authority to countersign all the
accounts for them, when so ap-
proved, and when tins account wa.
presented to the governor he affixed
his signature as he had been doing
on all other accounts. He had nc
part In making the account and he
had no right to stop payment. AS
to the propriety of Mr.
Baldwin adopting the book, the
STATESMAN has expressed itself un,
equivocably upon that point. but a
the same time II declares 1t most un-
reasonable to put in question tn,
action of the governor for doing
what was required ofhim. He hat
nothing to do with the adoption o.
the books for the use of the school
This matter is further referred to
in these columns, in correspondence
upon the subject, TO which attention
is called.
