Waco,


WACO, July Especial. lin tho
State Teachers Association to-day
Senator Coke, in response to an invita-
ton, spoke for nearly an hour and a
half. His address was devoted mainly
TO an analysis of the Blair educational
bill, which was up during the last ges-
sion of Congress. The senator opposes
this measure, or anything approaching
the lntermeddling, by the Federal gov
ernment, IN educational matters. He
holds that the Blair bill is unconstitu-
tlonal in lts nature, pernicious on its
tendencies, because it will be a step to-
ward centralized, "paternal" Federal
government, and an invasion of the
principle OF States rights. He Is an
ardent friend of general public educa-
ton, but not in the shape proposed
by the Blair bill. The address was
listened to with great interest by the
teachers, and it Is evident that Senator
Coke made many converts TO his side
.ot the question, Tho association
closed its session tonight. Austin
was selected as the place 10 hold the
next meeting. on the last Tuesday in
June, 1886. Professor John NJ. Rich
ardson is president for the ensuing u
months. Many of the teachers leave
for home tonight. They witnessed an
exhibition drill of tho fire department
this afternoon and express themselves
as much pleased with their reception
and treatment in Waco This was the
best attended and most important
meeting they have had, and they say
the result will certainly be beneficial
TO the cause of education in Texas.
Charles B. Pearre, of this city, who
was yesterday appointed United

thy stopped at the house of Pedro
Sosa, q Mexican, where there was a
dance given in coQmemoration of ST.

three or four white men besides the

proceed pleasantly until about II
o'clock, when Bud Frazier and Pablo
Sosa, SOB of Pedro Sosa, became in
YoleVd in 8 war of words
regarding some point of procedure in
Mexican quadrllle which they were
then dancing. 1t ended by Frazier
striking Pablo S0sG in tho face with
his fist. Sosa then went out and talked
with some MeXicans and returned to
renew the row, which eliminated in

took hold of James Frazier, striking
him with knives, white Pedro Sosa
engaged Bud Frazier, who was en-
deavoring TO shoot the men who were
trying to cut his brother and finally
s,hIed three shots, which emptied his
pistol. His brother rushed out OF the
house and went 10 the residence Of
James Johnson, some 30 yards distant,
expiring Immediately. 1t was thought
at first that Bud Frazier failed to strike
any of tie Mex cans he fired on, but
the next morning Crispine Sosa was
found dead, shot in the neck, the bull
let severing the jugular vein. Pedro
Sosa was jailed. Pablo Sosa escaped.
