Last night an inmate of a well known
''maision de joie" in this city, became
convinced that life was not worth liy-
ing, and attempted by a dose of NOR
phine to gain passage to the other
shore. Fortunately her companions
became aware of her intention before
it was too late, and administered APP
propriate remedies, so that her sojourn
in this troublesome land will be pro-
longed longer than she intended.

Commissioner Larring, of the depart
ment of agriculture, has called a con-
vention of cattle men to meet at Chi
cogo November 10 and 16, to confer re-
garding the contagious diseases
amongst the domestic animals. The
following topics will be discussed:
The extent to which contagious dis
eases exist among domestic animals in
this country: The modes by which
they are introduced and disseminated
methods by which they may be eradi-
Gated, and infected districts be isolat-
ed: The efficiency of existing legisla
ton relative to such diseases.
A.large attendance is desired, and
will doubtless be obtained, as this is a
matter of vital interest to all engaged

Our Northern Road.

1t has been apparent that there was
a good field for a road from the south
to build into the National park in.
stead of leaving the Northern Pacific
the onlyyroad penetrating that great
pleasure resort.
Some weeks ago 1.-THE Boomerang
noted the starting out of Mr.. Both
we'll and Mr.. Wallace, both railway
men, to find a practicable route
through Northern Wyoming into
Montana. The Omaha Herald says
these gentlemen represent a New
York, Boston and English syndicate,
and although Mr.. Boutwell, is a broth
er in law of Vanderbilt, it is said
they are wholly independent. The
route they have surveyed is to start
from the Union Pacific at some point
between Cheyenne and Rawlins-per-
haps at Laramie-and to run north,
passing through the soda and oil re-
gions of Wyoming and ending about
two hundred and fifty miles from its
starting point in the Yellowstone
park.
DR.. Graft states that Messrs. Both
well and Wallace and their corps of
surveyors were last heard from thirty
Eve miles west of Fort Washakie, on
their way to the national park. They
reported the route which they were
following excellent for a railroad and
DR.. Graft gives assurance that the
coming year will see the opening of the
best and nearest route to the Yellow
stone park.-Boomerang.

The case IF the State Of Texas VS..
Albert Nryland, was tried at Beau
mont, jefferson county, Texas, last
week, on change of venue from
/ Orange county, Texas, and resulted
in Neyland's acquittal. The defendant
was indicted in October, lSS2, for the
murder Of Jasper Gibson, in Orange
county, May q, 1882. He was tried
at the same (Octoher), term Of the
District Court of Orange county, con-
virted of murder in the second de-
gree, and the jury assessed his pan
ishmeut at seventeen years lmprlSon-
ment in the state penitentiary. The
verdict and sentence were reversed by
the Court of Appeals, at Galveston,
and the case was remanded for new
trial. The prisoner, who had surren-
dered himself to the sheriff the day
Of the homicide, aud who had been
imprisoned constantly since, was then
admitted to bail. He applied for and
obtained change of venue to Jeffer-
son county, and was there tried last
week, and acquitted as above stated.
The homicide was committed on
Sunday, while returning from coun-
try church, about four miles west of
Orange. The only eyewitness of the
killing was brother of Jasper Glib
sou, aged then about seventeen years,
and naturally hostile to Neyland.
This, coupled with the fact that this
witness swore positively that no quar-
rel preceded the killing, aud that the
fatal shot MAS fired deliberately, and
while the deceased was not looking at
Nevland, made the case very serious
one for the defendant, who claimed
that both the Gibson brothers drew
their pistols on him, and tina. he killed
Jasper Gibson in sclf-defeuce. The
latter's pistol was found on the ground
by his body, by witness for the prose
eution, who Was the FIRST person ar
irving there after Neylapd and the
other Gibson had left the scene of the
homicide, the latter testifying that
Ncyland left the spot before he did.
Several witnesses testified that the
deceased had repeatedly threatened to
kill Neyland, ono of them saying he
had endeaYored to borrow his pistol
for that purpose the day before the
killing.
Gu the first trial Neylsnd was repre-
scented by attorneys s, Ghenault, of
Orange, Geo. ii. Wells, of Lake
Charles, La, aud WIN. Chambers, of
Chambers county. On his second trial
he was represented by Geo. Ii. Wells,
of Lake Charles, La, 5. 7. West,

state being represented BY District
