concern.
GALVESTON. Aug. 14.-[Special. 1.-The
murder of Fred Tate in the street, near
his residence, at 1870 Monday morn
ing, is the chief topic of conver'
satlon, and speculation and opinion
is diverse as to the extent of the alleged
guilt of John Arto. 1t is, however,
stated upon undoubted authority
that Arto admitted to the
chief of police and Officer Williamson,
when they arrested him, that he had shot
Tate but since then he seems determined
to admit nothing, though he does not deny
the charge. For some time prior TO 10 O'Clock
this morning, when the inquest was to re-
Spann was crowded, eager to
drink in all the details OF
the horrible crime. Mrs. Tate, wife
of the murdered man, Mrs. Arto and Mrs.
Demovich. Arto's sister-in-lav, were
in attendance, and several times
during the examination almost broke
down from grief. Hiram Williams,
a negro. who resides in the neighborhood,
was called, and testified as follows: On
Monday morning, between IL and 1 o'clock,
he was walking down Ninth street, between
Church and Winnie streets; he
saw a man standing on the mar
row-gauge railway dressed in light
pants, black coat and who acted and looked
suspicious: Williams proceeded to Church
street. down Tenth Street, TO Post-office
. street; on his way home he saw man
lying under the oleander bushes near
the corner OF Church streets; shortly al
ter heard the report of firearms in
the direction OF Church and Ninth streets,
and very soon thereafter a man ran oy him
at full speed, similarly dressed as the one
he passed on the corner OF Post-office
and Tenth streets, and turned and
ran down Market street, out Of sight; he
believed, from the build, dress and general
Appearances, that the prisoner was
the man he saw on the railroad
track. NJ. M Jordan, chief of police, and
Detective Williamson testified TO the
arrest and taking from Arto a revolver;
recently been discharged. The inquest
then adjourned until 10 a. m. to-
morrow, in consequence OF the absence
OF important witnesses. Just as Mrs. Tate
was leaving the courtroom, she glanced
at Arto, who was standing beside one
of his attorneys, and exclAiming
in a tragic manner, "Oh, Arto, Arto,
look what you have done; look At
think Of the misery you have
broueht on u.s." and continued in
this strain until led from the courtroom.
Arto did did not appear 10 be affected
10 the least, but turned from the woman.
and, in q peculiar manner, addressed
an acquaintance who was IN
tbe court room. Arto is about q
years old. dark complexion, devoid OF sur
plus flesh. weighs about i35 pounds, and In
action IL wiry and supple. Has
dark mustache. bine-grey eyes.
dark hair, closely cropped, reg
ulsr features, and q low, oval forehead
which il occasionally distorted with frown
he was dressed In tight cOrcuroy
pants, gray linen vest, white
rhirt and lov-cut shoes, and
seemed 20 be the least unconoerned man In
the courtroom Arto, ct adjournment,
was coud ucfed hark 70 iail.

Race for Public Weigher A Well
Strung out Field.
A PhenomenalIy Quiet and Dull Day

The voting on the adoption OF the
constitutional amendments and the
election of two public weighers for
Dallas county,,..passed off quietly yes
terday, and had it not been that the
saloons were all closed and the sight of an
occasional hack with streamers, bearing the
name of some candidate, one would lever
have dreamed that county and state
election was going OH. The voting was
tame throughout the day, and, so far as
heard from, it was more so in the county
than in the city, several precincts failing to
open. The saloonists opened up their
places in the morning, and it
was not until the sheriff had warned
them that an election was in progress that
they closed up. The indications are that
the amendments will carry by good ma
jority, though the vote cast in both city
and county will hardly reach 1,SOO, If that.
FOR THE AMENDMENTS.
The following is the vote for the amend
ments.
