CISCO, March 15.-[Special. Yesterday
at Sandy coal mines, four miles north OF
Cisco some ten or. twelve OF the convicts
made an attempt to capture the guard. that

seargents room, where all the arms and
ANN unition were stored. Smith who was
on duty stopped them by firing five shots
at them, killing two out of the crowd-one
a man named Jones and another named
Williams. If Smith had not stood his
ground the whole convict camp would most
likely have been set at liberty. 1t seems to

qnlot little city was thrown into considers

OILS 7. bacon, Of uslin, had been seriously
wounded near Taylor, by Mr.. Ringer, YER
terday, and had come here for medical
treatment. lie stated 10 Mr.. McKeson the
as the whole cause OF the affair:
He had been partner OF Mr.. Ringer In tho
cattle business, near Taylor, for some time,
and had few weeks ago bought out Mr..
Ringer, but on yesterday Mr.. Ringer came
out to the yard, and began culllng out thirty
or forty yearlings from the punches, when |
Mr.. Bacon protested and told Mr.. Ringer, |
If ho did not deslst, he (Bacon) would have |
him arrested, whereupon Ringer rushed |
upon Mr.. Bacon and struck him |
a heavy blow upon the head with the end |
Of heavy stock-whip, whereupon Mr..
Bacon came up TO Georgetown to report |
the affair. He seemed perfectly composed |
while relating his account of the affair,
but upon finishing he became suddenly
changed, and DR.. Fleming was sent for to
dress his wound and he was then placed in
bed at the station-house, where he in
stantly became furious, and raved and
begged for the attendants to tic him down.
Drs. Fleming and Cochran are attending
him. and DIR. SWearingen, OF Austin, was
for, and arrived this evening TO
consult in the case. He is resting easy as /
send this, and the physicians say there is
some hope for his recovery. Ringer has
been arrested, and Sheriff Tucker will ar
rive with him on the 8 o'clock train. Much
is felt for the young man. Cap

Gainesville.

GAINESVILLE, March 16.-[Special. AT
10 O'Clock this morning, on West California
street, in the rear end of B. NJ. Melton's
saddle and harness shop, John W. Siles, a
well-known young man of this city, COM
mitted suicide by shooting himself through
the head. The weapon was Smith "
Wesson No. A six-shooter. The ball en-
tered lust above the right temple and came
out near the left, killing him almost in
stantly. No particular reason can be ascer-
tanned for the commission of the act. He
had of late been in rather bad health, and
was owing some small debts, which seemed
to trouble him good deal, but no one sus,
pected for a moment that he intended
taking his own lite. The deceased was a
saddler by trade, and an honest, hard
working young man, generally respected
by all who knew him. Last spring he was
married to Miss Lizzie Latimer, enc OF
| Gainesville's most popular young ladies',
and o daughter of a gentleman by that
name, who was the founder of the Dallas
| HERALD. The domestic relations OF Mr..
Siles and wife, so far as known, were OF the
most congenial and happy nature, and his
sudden and unnatural death has proven a
terrible shock to her. AS insanity is hered-
itary in the family, it is feared the affair
will affect her mind.
SECOND DISPATCH.
GAINESVILLE, March 16.--[Speciai!l7,A
harness.maker named John Siles suiclded
here to-day. Cause, financial embarrass-
ment.
This town is the headquarters of the cat
tie trade of northern Texas and the India
nation. The number of cattle to be drive
across the nation and northern points hsl
| not vet been determined upon. The ship
ment of nearly $4,000 head of cattle, either
direct from Texas or from northern points,
depends almost entirely on the settlement
OF the differences between shippers and the
railway folks that grew out of abuses of a
| former movement. -,
The spring meeting of the Gainesville
Driving Park and Blooded Stock associa-
ton commences at this plrc n April 10th,
lasting four days. They to,g out rich

Rau,s Gave.

Work is rapidly progressing on the
interior of Rau's cave, the new sub
terranean wonder, at Harper's Fer
ny. Last Tuesday Wheeling Beg
lister reporter had an interesting chat
with AIR. G. A. Beuter, one of the
owners of the cave, who had recefy-
ed recent information from there.
Rau's cave is in Prospect Hill, about
a mile above Harper's Ferry
To reach it at present, one must go to
Harper's Ferry and take the road
over Bolivar Heights, making short
and interesting drive. 1t is suppos-
ed the hill is honeycombed with caves,
connecting with each other, and in
this series new discoveries are being
made every day. Rau's cave con-
sists of three principal caverns, oc-
cupying a space over mile in Iength.
Work is now being done on corridors
to connect them, and of such height
IS to render passage from one to
another essy and pleasant. The dis
tsnee is 170 feet, the caves lying
alongside OF each other.
These caves are crystal caves,
similar to that at Lursy, and the eff
feet, when brilliantly lighted, is grand
and striking. As usual there are
bridal chambers, Gothic cathedraIs,
echo caverns, art galleries, crystal
palaces, and so forth, besides numer-
Gus pillars. columns and domes, with
out number. The stalagmites and
stalaclites assume all sorts of gro
tesque and beautiful forms, and from
Mr. Beater's account, the cave must
be thing of beauty and joy forever.
As soon as the cave is ready for
visitors, which will be about the end
of July, the B. & o. authorities will
erect depot at the spot and make it
= first-class station.
