man between forty and fifty years of age
was found in u miserable little hut, about

and was covered with filth and vermin.
Thirty years ago he was attacked with

elder brother, not wishing to send him to
an insane asylum and thereby cast a
shadow of disgrace on the family, had
this little hut built and imprisoned his
brother there. The chain with which he
was tied was only twenty inches long,
and the floor in small circle about the
post was completely worn away. His bed
consisted of lot of dirty straw which was

brother claims he was comnelled

not thought of removing it since. No
one had been in the hut for three years.
The man was removed to the hospital
where he is now harmless and doing

GOVERNOR IRELAND IN TROUBLE.
To be Arrested by the Federal Authorl-

To be Arrested by the Federal Authori-
ties for Obstructing Process.
GALVESTON, Ten, August ia great
deal of political significance is connect
ed with the issue of the warrant for the
arrest of Governor Ireland. 1t is said
that the action in the premises has been
dictated by the Republican managers in
the east, who think to enjoy po-
litical capital by making it appear that
Ireland, as Governor, is in conflict with
the Federal authorities. Ireland's procla-
nation Of pardon it is asserted
was laundering instrument and doubly
aggravated the Federal authorities. In
his proclamation Ireland said. "The
Federal judiciary have determined to re-
lease Francois unlawfully, and as there
is no way to prevent it," ETC., he
grants the release from Imprisonment
only. The Governor will be arrested
to-day.
Emil Francois, upon whose deposition
the warrant was issued, was convicted
under the miscegenation act of Texas in
1879, and sentenced to five years. He
was granted hearing on a writ of
habeas corpus, but on the case
being called the State announced that a
full pardon had been granted to him, and
the writ was ordered dismissed and the
prisoner released. Francis refused the
pardon, because it did not restore him to
tull citizenship, preferring to rely on the
writ. He is pure white, but married
negrowoman whose complexion is falrer
than his own. The law Furnishes only the
white person in case or miscegenation.
