He was one of that class who toll

brave tho dangers of battlelields and sul-
fer any sacrifices Of personal comfort,
thai those who sip their chocolate and
coffee in luxurious breakfast parlors
may know what the great world out

before. AS tho Unknown's thrill
ing reports are read and the
world wonders at the enterprise
OF the great journal in whose columns it
finds such delight and stores of useful
and entertaining matter, it gives no

intelligence has gathered the details,
often amid peril and privaton, and
sung by the hard necessities of life TO

This is the story. though. in nearly all
the " alks of life. the men who toll the

Second Inquest Being Held to Deter
mine the Causes That Led to Flechsir's
LynchlnE.
GALVESTON, Aug, 3d. Justice Spann
was engaged to day in hearing testimo-
ny in the case of the mysterious death
of Richard Flechsig, the young German
boy found hanging to u tree down the
island about week ago. Owing to the
suspicious circumstances and public
clamor, Justice Spann roopened the
hearing of testimony, and a second
inquest Is now in progress. No
startling evidence has been elected as
vet. The testimony thus far scarcely
sustains the charge that young Flochsig
was hrutally treated by Juneman and
his wife. The ease attracts considerable
attention, particularly among the Ger
mans of the city, who have undertaken
In ,unravel the mystery in connection
with Flechsig's death. The hearing will
continue tomorrow.

something new in the different lines of

are continually insisting that the hotels
are so poor that new one on grand
scale Is just the thing to take hold of;
that the old reliable paper is miserably
run and could be easily supplantcd by a
new venture; that the gas is terrible and
a new company could at once make a
