A second and third alarms were turned In.
Fourteen engines and three chemicals with

CRIME IN TEXAS.
Several Horrible Murders mt Austin,
and the Perpetrators Unknown.

Early on Christmas morning two most hor-
rible murders were committed in Austin, Texas.
The room Of Mrs. Sue Hancock, wife Of M. III.
Hancock, a highly respected citizen, was en-
tered about o'clock by unknown assassins
who took an ak and cut into her skull. The
Williams then dragged her bloody form out into
the yard, where she was raped, and shortly
after found by her husband, She was dying at
latest accounts. Leaving Hancock's home, in
one part of the city, the assassins next visited
the residence of James Phillips, In another
street. Entering Phillips room, where he and
his wife and little child were sleeping, they
knocked him in the head with an ak, cleaying
portion Of his skull His groans attracted
the attention of other members Of the family,
and going TO the room they found Mrs. Phillips
gone and the bed besmeared with blood. They
followed the trail of blood out across the We
randa into the yard, where they found her dead
body, entirely nude, and two heavy pieces Of
timber laid across the arms She had been
ravished and then her skull smashed in with an
ak. She was dreadful sight. Phillips win
die. This makes nine women ravished and
murdered there in the last year. No clew TO
the assassins A meeting of 700 citizens was
held and a committee Of thirty appointed to
assist the officers.
Another dispatch from Austin says that
community was Mortified again by the discovery
of series of crimes even more inhuman than
the others. The remains Of Claude Eanes, the
little eight year old white child, were found in
the back yard of his mothers premises, in the
village of GAINESVILLE, about two miles west Of
Austin. The swine were devouring the body
When discovered they had eaterall the flesh
from the bones, but all the features were re-
cognizable. Last August Hugh Eanes' father
mysteriously died. The Coroner's jury declared
he had been poisoned by unknown hands.
About the time of Eanes' death Charles Court
ney became boarder in the family, which
comprised Mrs. Eanes and two children,
Dollie, aged eight, and Claude. The unnatural
mother tried to give the children away, plead
ing poverty. couple Of weeks ago she told
her neghbors she had given Dollie to school
teacher down the river. A few nights ago Mrs
Eanes visited neighboring family and asked
the privilege Of spending the night. She said
she had also given Claude away to family In
Lamps sas, and that Courtney being absent
she was afraid to sleep in the house alone. The
next morning the woman departed for Austin
Courtney returned and found the house de-
serted, and found the body Of Claude, which
had been buried foot deep and uprooted by
the hogs Courtney was arrested on suspicion
Search is being made for Dollie, who, 1t is GER
tain, has also been murdered. No one saw her
leave the village. Her husbands death is also
attributed to the fendish wife. The police
traced the woman 70 San Antonio and are look.

man we'll known in our midst, came
into our ollico recently and informed
us that no is not the Sig Myerfeld who
is engaged to Miss Rothenstein, and
requested a publication of the same,
with which request we cheerfully COM
ply. In course of conversation he re-
marked that although gentleman
is not particularly affected by the an
nouncemcnt OF false engagement,
the lady always is, and with this state
ment we acquiesced. As yet we have
not heard from the lady above refer
red 10, but il she be physically pros
tratcd or mentally worried we beg
her pardon, and trust she will forgive
us for giving her pain. If this is not
satisfactory there is only one course
open to us, and we are willing to bow
to tho inevitable. We win simply
marry her ourselves. Progress.

About twenty years ago, Mr.. e. 7. Bar
num commenced the manufacture of wire and
IRON work in Detroit, employing at that time,
less than ten men. In 1870 the establishment
gave employment to over four hundred men,
and four years later segen hundred men were
employed. In 1882 y joint stock company
known as the Z. T. Barnum Wire and Iron
Works was formed, and two years later, owing
to failure to realize on large amount OF
manufactured stock on hand, aud other causes
The works went into the hasds of receiver,
with assets over liabilities amounting to sll5,-
100. Then came the misfortune of fire which
destroyed the works. Notwithstanding all
these misfortunes,, Mr.. Baalum is again to the
front, ready and able to a all orders for wire
and iron work.
