Who Poisoned Sweeney

Houston, Feb. Especial IA de-
tective in town, after having worked
diligently searching to ascertain who
poisoned James S. Sweeney, lately de-
ceased, reports Tonight that the mother
of the deceased did it. He says she, on
two occasions, purchased strychnine
IRON a druggist in town, and that she
had said all tho time there was no
poison about the house, hut that now
she acknowledges that she did buv The
strychnine. The matter will probably
come before the grand jury. The dis
tress of the mother at the death of her
son seemed overwhelming, and many
citizens do not believe the mother is
implicated at all. They say it can not
be true and it does not look possible.

Setting RocIkdale Right.

RocKDALE, Feb. Especial. THE
report going the rounds of the
papers that six persons had
died near Rockdale of trichina,
is greatly exaggerated. The true facts
were published in the Messenger at the

persons died. Six were affected, but
the others recovered. The surgeon took
from one of the parties piece of the
arm muscle, which, under the micro
scope, clearly revealed the trichina.
The weather is fine and farm work is
progressing favorably.

but the country has gradually settled
down to the conclusion that the mem.
bers of his family have the best right
to a selection of the place. Every
large city is now moved with a desire
to erect monument to General Grant
but it is reasonable to assume tnat tba
rich metropolis, which has secured the
honor of possessing and guarding the
mortal remains of the great soldier
will endeavOr to surpass all other cit-
les in doing honor to his memory in
visible outward form, and will erect
over his tomb monument which shall
