SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
Filed Yesterday by Justices Wander
burgh and Berry.

Calvin W. Taylor, respondent, VS.. the city OF
Austin, appellant
SyllabuS-Where a municipal corporation
whose charter gives it the authority to con-
struct, regulates and keep in repair sewers,
has assumed the control and management OF
of a sewer in one of the public streets under
its supervision, it is immaterial by whom the
same was originally constructed; and it is
bound to use reasonable diligence to keep
such sewer in repair as in other cases.
And where the complaint alleged that at
given" date the defendant negligently SUI
fered such sewer to become obstruct-
ed and neglected and refused
to put the same in repair, by reason of which
plaintiffs cellar was overlooked and he was
deprived Of the use, evidence that on several
occasions within that time his cellar was
flooded from the same cause was properly re-
ceived.
Evidence upon the question Of defendants
alleged negligence considered and held to
make a case for the jury.

Hung We're the Heavens in Black.
About one o'clock yesterday afternoon a
sudden and furious wind and rain storm Wis
fled St. Paul, which, after al, so far rs can
be learned, did not result in any very serious
damage. 1t seemed to come mostly from
the northeast, though part of the time it
appeared to come from all directions. When
first seen the heavens were filled
and banked up with immense
clouds, dark and angry looking,
and very threatening. The streets were
filed with dust and the wind whistled around
fearfully, while the wind was blowing the
hardest men, women aud children could be
seen hurrying up and down the streets IN ell
directions in search of place OF safety. A
part Of the time the streets were so filed with
dust that it was next to an impossibility to
see the houses at o little distance. On the
opposite side Of the river the air
was so filed with dust CT rain, or
both, that it appeared As though
immense curtains we're dropped down from

COL. JOHN TALROTT.

Just as we were going 70 presJ last
week We received intelligence Of the
death of Col. John Talbot, of Tallbott's,
Jefferson county, Tenn. and we insert
ed hasiy, though, as we are informed,
an inaccurate notice of the sad event.
Colonel Talbot died on Monday morn
ing, the 18th inst, aged 50 years mos.
and 90 days. He was born on the 18th
/ day Of August, 1901, in jefferson coun-
", near where he has ever since resid-
cd. His father was Derry Talbot, a
man of strong character, who was fire.
quently hOnored with public employ
ment by his fellOw-citiZsns. Col. Tai
bot: was twice married, but died child
less. His first wife was Barsha Cobb,
only daughter of Arthur and Ailcey
Cobb. His second wife was Mrs. Barsha
Stuart, relic OF David Stuart, Of Sulli-
van county, whose maiden name was
Barsha Cobb, a cousin TO his first wife.
In early life he manifested a taste for
military pursuits and was I'm the service
OF his country, as an officer, when the
Indians were removed from Tennessee
and the adjoining States in 1895; and be
was for a long time Colonel Of his regi-
ment. He seemed TO have NO desire
for civil Office, and, except when en-
gagged in the duties incident to his mill
tary positions, lived in the retirement
Of his home aud family. In all the re-
latiOns Of life he was characterized by
a strict and unwavering probity. A
man Of unImPeachable integrity, he
enjoyed the unqualified confidence of
all who knew him. Possessing an easy
fortune, he was yet plain aud unAssum-
ing i'm dress and manners, approachable
by all, considerate of thu feelings aud
the rights Of others, and yielding n
ready and symPathIZlng ear 10 the voice
Of suffering. He live the life Of a just
and christian man, and died in the hOpe
Of blessed immortality. The death
Of such = man Is . public calamity, but
in the celebrity which we may justly
give 10 his virtues, his example may
live 10 encourage the rising generation
in the cult walton of those traits Of
character which make the perfect man
In these days Of sharp practices, bar
terings and quirks, IL 10 good TO reflect
upon the character Of one whose word
was truth-whose acta were without
guilt-whose life has been n model of
correct department, OF consistent in
tegrily. Who among us 10 worthy To
receive bis mantle?

N CAhA(BA IMAM llAOA Ot8BA-
Mrs. Carrie Hunter, wife Of james
Hunter a large and wealthy stock dro-
yer of Greene county, near Lick creek,
was brutality assassinated last Thursday
night. The particulars Of the tragedy
as we have them are substantially these
Between and o'clock Thursday
night Mr.. James Hunter, his wife, hia
farm Sverseer, the housekeeper and an
other domestic, were all sitting before
a large fire in the family room Mrs.
Hunter was sitting in a rocking chair,
employed with knitting or some other
light work. The farm overseer or
manager had psid Mr.. Hunter q consid-
cradle sum of money, the proceeds OF
the sale of car load of mules, and the
latter had just deposited it in a safe i'm
the same room. Mr.. Hunter returned
10 his seat near his wife and near q
table on which was q lamp. lie had
been seated but a few seconds when
the loud report Of gun burst through
the room like a clap of thunder. At
the same instant Mrs. Hunter threw
out her arms, and in doing so struck
the lamp, knocking it of the table and
extinguishing the light. As soon as q
light could be obtained it was ascsr-
taIned that Mrs. Hunter had been shot
dead. The gun had been fired in nj
window, three bullets or shot had pass
ed through the thick back Of the rocker
in which Mrs. Hunter was sitting, en-
tered the lady's head near the left ear,
passed entirely through the brain aud
stopped in or near the right temple.
Death WAS instantaneous. The tracks
Of two men were found near the win
dow through which the shot was fired.
A further examination Of the wounds
of Mira. Hunter, showed that seven
balls entered her head. The window
sash was powder burned. Pieces Of the
brokea Xindow pane through which
the shot was fired struck the lady in the
face. The entire community is shock
ed and excited by the dastardly crime,
and every effort is being made 70 dis
cover its perpetratOT. Two men who
were arrested on suspicion of having
the murder, were released,
there being no proof sufficient 10 justi-
fy their detention. The husband of the
murdered woman has offered q large
reward for the detection of the guilty
parties and scores OF men are securing
the country in search of the brutal

Quite a respectable audisnce-whitG
and blsck-both a. to intelligencs and
numbers, assembled in the Bapfisl
church In this place last Tuesday eve
ming to listen 10 lecture by q. Beay,
who represented himself aa a native OF
Africa, hailing from Cape Colony. lie
spoke the English language intelligibly,
and had the appearance Of m ord nary
well dressed corn field Negro. He stated
that christian missionaries had stslen
him away from his parents when he
WIS quite young, had carried him TO
} London and kept him At school for thir-
teen yesrs, when he was sent back to
his native country rs & missionary. He
gave brief description of q few of the
different tribes OF Africa--of which no
said there were great many, all using
different dialect. About the soil,
products and climate of the country
some Of his statements seemed fabulous,
such, fer instance, as gathering cotton
four or five years from one planting
the bOlls 81 large that q water bucket
full OF cotton could be gathered from .
single ore; ihe cotton yielding twelve
bales to the acre, and each bale con-
tanning 500 pounds, equivalent to 5000
pounds to the acre. He did not give
the dimensions of nm African acre, how
ever. He dwelt upon the moral condi-
ton Of his people, which he said were
all embraced in three classes-civilized,
half civilized and unciVilized. The
civilized tribes, through the teachings
of missionaries, had to SEINE extent be-
come enlightened, and q considerable
number had embraced the christian re-
ligisu. Among the half-civilized there
were BOt so many converts, and ameng
the uncivilized scarcely any. Their
great and supreme god 10 an image,
hewn cut of stone, about twelve feet
high. They have a great many smaller
gods, made Of wood and other material.
They also worship the sun, moon and
particular stars. The christian church
there, as he described it, would be q
novelty here. II member is guilty Of
cruelty to his wife he is given forty
lashes for the first offense, eighty for
the second, one hundred and sixty for
the third, and so on, doubling the mum
Der of lashes for each additional Offense.
IL member is absent from church ser
vice five Sundays in succession he is
taken by the church officer to the
preacher and required to.give reason
fer his absence. His excuse 10 geaer-
ally, 81 was asleep" For this offense
he must run for his life, il he would e.
cape death or wounding by the bow and
arrow. The speaker thought the civil
rights bill Of this country was q failure,
so far as bringing about social equality
of the races was concerned. He thought
each race and color should be separate,
race to race and color to colsr, and to
this end assured the colored brethren
present that Africa was n better and
more inviting country for them as
race than this country. The inevitable
collection to pay the speakers expenses
was then taken up, after which the au-
dience was dismissed.
