Diabolical Outrage by Mob-The Mar

Special Telegram to The Statesman.
GATEsvILLE, April 8.-A general
row occurred here yesterday. Beene,
of Coryell City, was in town, and our
marshal, Henry Lee, attempted to
arrest him for some trivial cause. He
resisted, being aided by friends, and
succeeding in putting a face on our
marshal painful to behold. Late yes
terday evening the crowd rode out of
town still unarrested, so far as the
marshal was concerned, but leaving
paid fine before Esquire Hedgspeth.
Further trouble of a serious character
is anticipated.
We have fine crop prospects, and
frost is not feared.
The new city officers will be in
stalled tomorrow.
Our enterprising paper. the Ad-
vance, will soon erect a brick office.
Ireland is ahead here.
w. b. Garrison, in the Hamilton
Jail for horse-stealing, was taken out
of that Jail last night by mob and
hung. The mob was large and very
orderly and quiet.
There are five prisoners IN the jan
here who were captured at the same
time Garrison was, and fears are enter
tanned that the mob will visit this
place tonight. There has been a great
deal of stealing in this country, ano
the people are justly enraged.

A Pleasant Affair.

A large number of the friends and
acquaintance of the Rev. M. A.
Daugherty and his estimable wife
gathered last night at the parsonage
of the Central Methodist Episcopal
Church, in response to an invitation
extended. Music, singing and other
innocent pleasures were indulged in,
and altogether it was very pleasant
time both for young and old.
Mr.. Daugherty, accompanied by
Mrs. Daugherty, will soon leave for
Philadelphia to attend general con-
ference of the church, he being the
delegate selected from this state. The
Rev. Mr.. Daugherty is well known
and will long be kindly remembered
for his earnest zeal in his field of la
Dor, for his charity and kindness to
those whom he has found in need OF
distress, regardless of faith or creed
and for that greatness of soul which
characteriZes the true man and the
christian. May his journey north.

turn to our midst safe and happy.

alleged cruelty to children under her
charge in he Home" at Lagrange,
near the city. The inmates numbered
about twenty, and ranged from to IA
years of age. A number were left at
the Home by INDECENT parents. and
the remainder were orphans. The
"Home" was supported largely by
public subscriptions. The prosecution
offered testimony of the attending
physician and former employees which
tended to show that the children were
almost totally uncared for at the

and the basement where the children
were compelled to pass the greater
portion of the day was also used as a
stable for a cow. One witness de-
clared the prevailing diet for the chill
dren was mush and potatoes, and that
their beds were unclean. 1t was con-
tended by other witnesses that the

Nothing tends more to make the
situation agreeable than to be sur-
rounded with polite attention. This
characteristic is most prominent with
the passenger train attendants of the
Wabash railroad, and has probably
contributed more than any other one
feature towards establishing the popu-
larity of the line. Then the accom-
modations are the very best, and the
through-car system simply perfection.

Special Telegram to The Statesman.
DALLAS, April 8.-Morgan Cam
mack arrived firm Mexico this morn
ing unaccompanied by any officers or
detectives, and claims to have come
back of his own accord, although he
admits he has been avoiding them for
over a week past, as he was deter
mined not to return under arrest. He
was soon committed to the county
Jail by order of County Attorney Clint,
and is there tonight a prisoner. Cam
mack denies having forfeited his bond
or broken his agreement with the
state, or the right of the latter to i'm
prison him. He says no one had any
authority to prevent him from going
where he pleased, so long as he an
sWered as witness, when
called, against the cotton swim
dlers next week, and that his
bond could not be forfeited sooner
than that. He says he went to Mex
leo to see his brother, Jack Cammack,
in the auditors Office of the Sonora
railroad, at Guaymas, and endeavor to
get something to do and build up q
business for himself and family in
that new country, as he would virtu-
ally be an outcast in this section on
account of his cotton sWindling
record. He saw his brother at Her
masillo, Mexico, and then learning
that the officers were after him, he be-
gan to dodge them and work his way
back to Dallas. lie denies to your
correspondent the reports of his arrest
in Mexico, or purchasing his Liberty
from detectives, and of having been
prompted to leave Dallas for money
paid him by the men connected with
him in the cotton frauds, and against
whom he has turned states evidence.
County Attorney Clint, on the other
hand, says Cammack has forfeited his
agreemtnt with him, and was trying
to escape to Australia, and that now
he will prosecute him as severely as
the law permits. He also says posi-
lively that Cammack this morning
confessed to him that he was captured
at Carlo, Mexico, by a detective
named Connor, who brought him as
far as Crittenden, AriZ., and then set
him at liberty on the payment of $500.
Also, that Cammack told him (Clint)
he fled from Houston to Mexico while
returning from New Orleans to Dallas
on being informed by detective in
Houston that he was to be arrested on
his arrival in Dallas. Cammack claims
his return from Mexico was the result
of a telegram from one of his bonds
men, Il. B. Seay, stating that county
attorney Clint would imprison him.
Clint says Seay had no authority to
send such telegram, and that Seay
went off Cammack's bond several days
before making the proper oath, and
now he desires to remain on it, but he
(Clint) will not allow it, but will pros.
ecute Cammack, and if he gets out on
bond it will have to be on entirely
new proceedings.

The Senate Discusses the Defenscless Con-
ditiOn of Our Sea Coast.
WASHINGTON, d. c., April S.-The
senate to-day took up the considera-
tion of the naval appropriation bill.
Many amendments proposed by the
senate committee were agreed to.
On reaching the provisions relating
to ordinance, Morgan inquired what
was being done in the way OF manu-
featuring modern guns, and spoke at
some length of the defenceless condi-
tion of our sea coast.
Bayard said, from the appropriation
for ordnance contained in the bill,
one would suppose we were leglslat-
ing for the kingdom of Lilliput, rath-
er than a great nation like the United
States. China, he said, was buying
800 guns, each of which would cost as
much as the whole appropriation for
ordnance in this bill. He would favor
the purchase by the government of
large steam hammer establishment and
foundry, which would leave the gov
ernment in position not to be entire
ly at the mercy of private enterprise
Hale gave notice of an amendment
to be hereafter moved appropriating
$850,000 for the purchase and erection
of plant for the casting, forging,
rough boreing and temporing of guns
up to 1000 tons, ready for delivery at
gun factory; also 100000 for plant
for gun factory for building guns
from six inch to sixteen ealibre, in
Guiding building and shrinking pot.
Vest said we had 10000 miles of sea
coast and 81 800 100000 of an annual
commerce, which was rapidly increas-
ing, and resources and capabilities
which almost begger description. |
Yet we were without a navy |
or commercial marine, and our |
sea coasts were utterly defelseless, |
although since 1861 $386,000000 had |
been appropriated by congress for
naval purposes. Italy, the land of |
maccaroni and laZZaronl, had the |
largest war ship and the largest gun on I
the ocean, while this great nation
had cookie shells and naval pleasure
boats, and no guns to amount to
anything. Yet we were called upon to
spend more money, to be paid to some
contractor (J ol, n Roach) who was now
building for the United States
vessels which high authorities
pronounced defective. Vest was not
willing to give money to the secretary
of the navy to be by him handed to
John Roach for whose benefit, accord
ing to statements made on the floor of
the senate, the secretary had at
one time been a paid lobbyist. Vest
proceeded to speak on our merchant
marine decay, which he said was due
to the policy which sustained such
men as John Roach. No other civil
lied nation existed that had not
abandoned that policy. Before Vest
his remarks the senate went
into executive session, and soon after
adjourned.
