BAsTRoP, April 30.-Our district
court the whole day was consumed in
the Beatty case, for robbery. The
jury returned verdict of guilty, and
assessed his punishment at two years
In the penitentiary. There is another
case against him for theft. Jim
Scrugglns, colored, who was convicted
and sentenced last week for five years,
died last night in the Jail. He had
been very i'll for long time. and had
to be carried into the court to be tried.
The store of Z. o. ELMER was bur-
glariZed a few nights ago, but only a
few dollars were taken.
Weather warm and business good.
BAsTRoP, May 2.-The Haywood
Beatty case has occupied another
whole day, and is not finished yet.
The arguments will. however, close
tonight, and the jury will hardly re-
turn a verdict before tomorrow.
Some of the farmers in the low river
bottom lands were much damaged by
the rise of the river. 1t has been slow
ly falling all day, but is still too high
for the ferry boat to run. More rain
threatens tonight.
BAsTRoP, May 3-The jury in the
Beatty murder case failing, to agree,
were discharged to-day. They stood
eight for conviction and four for ac-
quittal. Beatty is charged with the
murder of Griffin in the McDade trag

cred che of the most important cases
ever tried in Bastrop county. The
state was represented by District At
torney Bethany, County Attorney
Maynard, and Senator Fowler; the
defense by Hon. G. w. Jones and
Messrs. Johns & Scott. The case has
been in the court three days. The

The Iron Men.

PITTsBURG, May 1.-The Iron Man
ufacturers' association of the west,
organized during the great strike OF
1882, met in this city to-day. The dis
pute of the amalgamated association
over the wages for the ensuing year
was discussed, and it was decided
to maintain the demand of a
general reduction of 10 per cent. The
manufacturers say this ends the nego-
tiations so far as they are concerned,
and unless the wofkmen accept the re-
duction the mills will be closed
the last of this month. The
officers of the amalgamated
union don't want to strike, but will in
sist on the acceptance of the scale
presented at the conference. Also. in
the event of a strike the association
will be much stronger than in '82, and
they have no fear of the result, they

KYLE, May Capt. Kyle is the
maddeSt man in town. His large
fish pond, which cost him no inconsid-
cradle amount Of labor and expense,
broke its bounds night before last and
flowed out over the prairie. He had
stocked it well with German carp, and
it was considered by far the best pond
in the country.
The rain Wednesday night was ter
rifle, and Center street rose consider
ably above high water mark.
Store houses have been in great de-
mand the past week, and the vacant
ones have all been rented.
Mr.. w. w. Witten, after spending
two weeks with friends in this city,
will return to his home in Trenton,
Mo-, tomorrow.
The school children Will have big
picnic Saturday week.
KYLE, May 3.-Weather still cloudy,
and farmers discouraged.
Capt. Kyle has succeeded in finding
several of the carp that escaped when
his pond broke loose, and he was sur
prised at the great size they had at
tanned in such a short time, some of
them measuring eighteen inches in
length, having grown sixteen inches
since last summer.
The shearing, so far, has proven i'm
mense, the clips being long and very
| clean.
On account of the washout north
of here, the regular mail train failed
to arrive yesterday.
Owing to somebody's mistake the
road overseers are having considerable
trouble here in getting hands to work
the roads, the same hands being
claimed on two or three different
roads.
DIR. Martin and family have arrived
in this city, and will make Kyle thei
future home.

A TERRIFIC FIRE!

Special Telegram to The Statesman.
I CHICAGO, April 30.-A terrible fire
broke out to night in the block b E.
tween Lake and Randolph and Jeffer-
SOL and Desplanies streets. The
flames were first seen to issue from
the brass foundry of Louis Wolff &,
Co., and upon an alarm being given
the fire department responded with
; its usual promptitude. Notwithstand-
ing the efforts of the fremen, howev-
er, the flames soon gained a rapid
Roadway. and engulphed in fire
not only all the neighboring build
ings, but the Globe treatre
and Desplaines street police station
as well. At the time the police sta
tioa took fire large number OF pris-
oncrs, including many women, were
confined within its walls, and their
shreiks and excited demands to be
saved were such as to horrify those in
the surrounding neighborhood. A
second and third alarm were at once
turned in, and almost simultaneously
the gallant fire brigades were on the
scene of the terrible condensation.
A strong breeze from the prairie be-
ing blowing at the time, all endeav-
oIs to stay the progress of the flames
seemed almost futile. Nevertheless
the firemen, assisted by many citizens,
worked with will, and directed their
attention to the saving of the theatre
and the adjoining buildings. Seeing
that it was impossible to prevent the
destruction of the Globe, and the cries
of the prisoners at the police station
being redoubled, the firemen turned
their attention to the saving of life,
and, assisted by Sergeant O'Donnell
and Justice Scully, turned the hose on
the burning police station. The patrol
wagons being on hand from the West
Twelfth street station, and large con-
tingent of police being present from all
parts of the city, little difficulty was ex-
perienced in removing the prisoners,
who were sent under guard to the
Harrison street prison. The 'nagniti-
cent brass and machine foundry of
Louis Welt 81 Co. soon fell before the
all-consuming flames, followed by the
total destrution of the Globe theatre,
Police station, McAndrews brass
foundry, and Dunn's drug store.
VOLTS building was fine structure,
recently completed, and was six stories
high. The theatre was four stories
high, and had several fine stores ad-
joining, all of which were destroyed.
The total loss. as far as can be ascer-
tanned at this hour, cannot fall short
of $35O,OOO, and may possibly reach
