ably be affecting weather.
The destruction of property along the
shores Of the lower Mississippi during the
late floods is nCalculable, and if repiti-
ton of the same disasters follows next sea-

will force thousands of people to abandon
the banks of the Mississippi and all lands
subjected to the floods to seek homes where
they can have some assurance of living
without being jeopardizing life and property

Cincinnati is due to-day for New Orleans.

the scenes OF the past year. But al
the lierccness Of her old rebellion has
died away and she feels only weary,
weary pain that knows no surcease.
She looks upon the lovely child-face
before her with great tenderness in
her mother cyes-which is yet a half a
terror. What if those baby lips should
never lisp her name again-what if
those dimpled hands should never press
her face again in the long, lonely years
to come! And the sweet voice! Would
the Old home ever be glad again with
ont It's ringing echoes? Not only her
own heart she knows will break, but
the Old hearts too, that have grated
their happiness upon the tender, beau
tlinl blossom,
But no! She drives the thought
away. Surely God will leave her this
this one wee Hover that has doomed
upon her cross. In her sleep the child
sobs her name, and Nora takes the
dainty golden head in her arms, kiss
ing the flushed cheeks and soothing the
wee sufferer to sleep again. And with
the baby arms around her neck, she
sinks herself in a troubled, restless
slumber

SHOT by a DRUNKEN MAN.

Special to the Gazette.
SHERMAN, Ten, Aug, 2. - This
evening shooting scrape took place
at the saloon of Geo. Y. Bridges In
which his little boy Willie was danger
ously wounded by pistol-shot wound
in the left shoulder, which passed
under the arm pit about two inches
outside of aud above the nipple, cut
ting the sub-clavian artery
and passed through the upper
lung cavity. Jas. Bridges, n bar
keeper in the establishment, was on u
drunk and boisterous, and was arrested
for carrying a pistol. After his re-
lease he went to Geo. Hardwick and
told him that he expected TO kill a man
and perhaps be killed himself, but he
wanted him To take the address of his
father, Campbell, Mo-, aud have him
come and give his body decent
burial In the event Of his
death. In less than an hour after this
conversation he entered the saloon OF
Geo Bridges and said ~ hear that ]
am discharged" George said Jim,
20 out and get sober and then we can
talk about this.n Jim remarked, "You
are dressed up and so am ~ and
without further warning drew bis
pistol and shot AT George, who was
btnt over taking some articles from
the safe, the ball, 4i-caliber, passing
within a few inches of his head. George
Jumped behind the partition immedi-
ately at his left In the rear Of the
counter. Jim stepped into the saloon
opposite and fired the second shot.
which some bystanders say struck the
little boy, Willie. Fleming Cobb then
caught fast hold on Jim aud held him
until an officer come. George ran 10 the
rear OF the bar and started out sitter
Jim but was met by ESD
Dibbs, who took both pistols from hun
and the shooting stopped. From all
accounts this was case 10 commit
murder and the opinion OF Dr. b. u,
Petty, who dressed the wound, 10 that
it may result in the death OF An inno-
cent, but he has hopes OF his recovery.
Only one shot was fired by George
Bridges, and he fired that after he had
been shot ut twice aud his child dam
gerously wounded.

IN FEmALi; ATTIRE.


LAREDO, Aug. 2-Last night the
police in Laredo discovered what at
first appeared to be two women trying
TO enter house. Their movements
excited the suspicion OF the officers,
who approached 70 arrest them. They
turned out 10 be men In female
attire. Before the police could secure
them they made their escape although
several Intellectual shots were fired
after them.
Some mischieyous person lo0sened
the pile driver which the Interna-
tional railway company used In the
construction Of the bridges across the
river ut this place. But for the timely
aid the machine would have crashed
against the Mexican national bridg-
and torn II away.
