The fish commissions in every state
where they have been established have
proved n success. Every stream in
Missouri, every lake and pond, Is
stocked with the best varieties of the
finny tribe, and the poor of that state
are now enabled TO live upon these pro-
ducts OF the streams when they cannot,
afford 10 purchase beef and bacon. II the
legislature will make an appropriation
commensurate with the objects 10 be
achieved, there is no reason why every
stream, lake and pond in Texas should
not swarm with the finest varieties OF
fish. Let the commissioner have means
Mt his command to perform all that is
required OF him, and tho poor of Texas
will all have enough good fish to eat
and TO spare.

FATE OF AYOUNG FBENCHMAN.
Astounding Revelations of Crime In
Family Murders and Suicides.

Astounding Revelations of Crime In a
Family Murders and Suicides.
DAYTON, O., April IT, One of the most
remarkable individual records of crime
ever brought to light in this State was
made known here today by the suicide Of
Charles Bieler, a Frenchman, who has
been in this country but a few months.
He came here in search Of his father, who
left France number of years ago. He
tracked him to Dayton, but was unable to
learn Of his whereabouts from this point.
The young man was an intelligent person,
Of a very sensitive nature, which prOba-
bly, accounts for the fact that persons
who knew what had become Of his father
did not tell him. The father was ar
rested here two years ago, and sentenced
to the peuitentiary, where he committed
suicide. Charles, the son, after wander
ing about the city, was arrested and sent
to Jail for safe keeping, his actions indi-
eating that he was partially insane
Three days afterwards he attempted sui
eide, saying none Of mis- family could sur
Vive prison life. The Sheriff talked to
him OF the Nervousness Of the crime he
had contemplated, and it was believed
that he had given up the idea Of suicide,
but this morning he deliberately hung
himself.
IT mas been learned IiaJ DeSldeS nI0Selt
and father, his grandfather also committed
suicide IN prison, in Marseilles, France,
where he was imprisoned for murder. To-
night Sheriff Weis has made public the
fact that through The son, Charles, he has
learned that DR.. Bieler, his father, the
man who committed suicide in the Ohio
penitentiary, had murdered his wife in
Switzerland and was sentenced to prison
for life. but had killed two guards and
escaped to France, where he enlisted in
the army. He was sent to Algiers, and
there, in a quarrel, killed an officer. He
again escaped, coming to this country.
At Cincinnati he married a Well-knOwn
lady named Lewis, with whom he came
TO this city. She died is3re under suspi-
ciOus circumstances, andy has been the
belief OF many that he murdered her: but
before any case could be established
against him he was arrested, tried and
convicted Of robbery. For this crime he
was sent to the penitentiary, where he
hung himself, as his son did here to-day.

DISTRESSING THE AMEER.
TURKEYS INTENTIONS IN THE
EVENT OF WAR.

The DardaneIles to be Closed Against
the Bolligerents-Russia Stiu Aiming
Men of War -- KomarOfrs Victory
FavOrably Impresses the Inhabitants
of Bokhara.
LoDON, April 19.-The arming of men
oi-War at CrOnstadt continues. Orders
were issued to-day to have them all put TO
sea. Advices from Samaracand state that
Gen. Komarof7s victory over the Afghans
has faVorably impressed the inhabitants
of Bokhara.
A special messenger from Sir Edward
Thornton, British Ambassador at St.
Petersburg, has arrived here with dis
patches reporting the result of the COM
munications with NJ. de Giers, Russian
Foreign Minister, with reference to the
Afghan frontier.
An odessa dispatch says that in all
well informed quarters there, without eX-
ception, the good faith of the Ameer to-
ward England is mistrusted.
st. Petersburg dispatch saws that
eleven fast steamers have been bought,
ready equipped, at various ports for use
as Russian priVateers.
TURKEY TO CLOSE THE DARDANELLFs.
Inc GOrUe mas repleQ 10 England that
in the event Of war between England and
Russia Turkey will remain neutral and
will close the Dardaneles and Bosphorus
to the men-of-War Of either nation. No
tice of this decision has been sent by the
Porte to the various foreign Ambassadors
at ConstautinOple.
The Daily NelCS says: E'rhe statements
referring to the cession of Pendieh TO Rus
sia are purely imaginary. We fear" the
NelcS says, ''matters have not passed out
