in n divorce case heard here yesterday.
Edith l.. Coventry, an English lady,
about 10 years old, daughter of the
Rev. Edward Arthur Lytton, a cousin
of Lord Lyttop, was the plaintiff in
tho case, which was tried before Judge
Gardner. Her iather is dean of one of
the colleges OF Oxford University. In
1877 she welded Captain John W.
Coventry, a nephew Of Lord Coventry,
and an officer in the British
navy. The marriage was
disapproved of by the noble lord and
the captain soon made OIL TO Canada
with his bride and settled with her on
an annuity at Neuvllle, In the French
provinces. His conduct to her, as ev-
idenced by her testimony. and corrob-
GRATED by that OF Mr.. Leblanc and
Alex. Clair, two French Canadian
neiRhbors, was cruel. The testimony
shows that no wasa very hard drinker,
and sometimes knocked her down,
stamped on her, and then forced her,

the worst only needs men-

while tho snow was ON the ground, he
had an attqck of drunken dellrium
and told her he would lock her up in
the attic and then sot fire TO tho house
and burn her up. She fled, clad IN
nothing but her house robes, pursued
by him and brace Of pistols. It was

AUSTIN. July l2--ISpeciaLl THE
press telegram sont out from Kansas

statements known TO be false, here.
The cattle now held in tho Territory,
refused passage across the Cheokoe
Strip, were driven from South Texas,
and with no opposition until stopped
in tho Territory. The assertion that
injunctlons have been gotten out by
Texans to prevent the passage of cat
lie Is false, no such thing ever having
occurred. W. IL. Towers Is a member
Of the Texas Live Stock Association,
and certainly Is familiar with these
facts, He knows that some of the mon
most active in opposition TO the pas
sage OF Texas cattle have purchased
cattle in Southwestern Texas. The
kilograms OF Representative Sayers

tho trouble are known TO be aliens, and
some of them have large bodies Of

Houston

Houston, July l2.-LSpecial. - On
account of the arbitrary action of the
Post chapel Of tho Typographical
UAion, and the refusal of the union to
adjust matters, the Houston Post has
declared that from date mono but non
union printers will be employed.
However, the highest union wages, 40
cents per thousand ems, will be paid,
the Post proprietors being willing to
pay the scale, but declaring they pro-
pose to run their own office. The i'm
mediate cause of the trouble is that on
last Tuesday the printers declared
they must have their money daily,
and that the two days they
had worked must be paid in
stantly. They walked out and
refused to arbitrate or to allow other
union men to go TO work. Their
money was paid them, as was done
on Wednesday, when they declared
themselves satisfied and said that in
future they would be content with q
weekly pay DAY. They could give no
reason for their unusual domand, as
the Post has always paid every dol
ler when IL WAS due. The foreman, a
strong union man, discharged one of
the printers for going Off and putting
q drunken man on his case, Ho ap.
pealed to the chapel and they forced
tho foreman to reinstate him upon
threats of strike.
The Post then took its inning and
delared that all should 90, bu5 that
union men should be put in their
places. Efforts were mado TO get q
union force In Austin and Galveston,
but without success, although thepres-
idents OF all tho unions declared the
printers wrong. The Post then called
a meeting Of the union, which met to-
day, and requested that the union
should pass resolution stating that
the proprietors or foreman could dis
charge any obnoxious man and that
the union would protect them in So
doing. This was overruled by the
Post chapel, they being in the major
ity. Thoro is a stroag minority
and the feeling Is hat
the printers are wrong, as their
officers confess. The Post could not
"iire" one man without all walking
out, and hence has q force of non
nnionists, who will got out the paper
Tuesday.

Lampasas feels little jealous of

newspaper changes also. Tho pro-
prietors of tho Dispatch have pur.
chased the Weekly Journal, including

man, of the Journal, has purchased the
job department of the Dispatch cilice.
This makes one less in each branch OF
business and two OF a kind, tc-wit:
Two dailies, two weeklies and two Job
offices. Our little city offers good
field for one good local daily, two good
weeklies and one tirst-class Job Office,
all of which we have. More than this
will be an injury to the business, and
the citizens are beginning to recognize
this fact, and have endeavored TO con-
solidate tho different factions and
have partially succeeded.
The State flremen'5 tournament,
which will como OIL about the goth OF
August, promises to be a grand affair.
The local committees have set about
work in earnest and are succeeding
admirably. A sufficient amount OF
money has been subscribed, and other
parts Of the work are being pushed

GALVESTON, July 12.--[Special,l-At
IL o'clock this morning Thomas Hus-
sey, superintendent of the city rail-
road street gang, shot himself
through tho left breast, with suicidal
intent, the bullet passing directly
through the body in the heart region,
and making its exit, splintered the
back of q chair. Hussey has
been drinking for the past week, and
meeting q friend In tho market, and
not hearing return to his greeting,
asked an explanation, which was given,
to his apparent satisfaction. Subse.
quontly, calling at the friends house,
he remarked that ho was not ilt 10 live,
and drawing a cooked rovol-
yer from his pocket, spent the
bullet on its fatal orrand. IL Is thought
the wound will provo fatal. The fact
that Hussey's father, Michael Hussey,
committed suicide in Now Mexico,
about two years ago, tends to confirm
the theory of hereditary suicide. The
victim is 25 years old.
