Rasurcs' Death in Mexico an Out
rageous Murder.

hasures' Death in MEXICO an Out-
rageous Murder.
GALVESTON, TEX, July 29.-Francisco
Rasures, the naturalized American citi-
zen who was arrested and surrendered
night before last without q hearing by
County Judge Hoffsetter, upon demand
by Chief of Police Mondragon, of Piedras
Negras, Mexico, that he was a horse
thief was taken from the Mexican
prison eight hours after his incar-
ceration, taken two miles below
Piedras Negras with his hands tied be-
hind him and brutally shot and buried at
the command OF Mondragon.
MAN OF GOOD STANDING.
The murdered man had taken out let
ters Of citizenship Aug. 10, 1873, and
prominent men in Eagle Pass and Piedras
Negras bore testimony that Rasures was
an upright, honorable man. The secret
underlying this infamous outrage Is that
Rasures had won the affections OF a
woman of whom Chief MondragOn
was enamored. Mondragon, swearing
vengeance, detailed two of his trusty
| lieutenants one night to murder his rival.
Rasures badly disabled his assailants and
escaped to Eagle Pass.
BENT ON KEW ENGE.
Mondragon, however, determined upon
his removal, trumped up a charge Of
horse theft against MIN and had him eX-
tradited and shot. The night that
Rasures was delivered to the Mexican
authorities Mondragon left for Saltillo,
not, however, before having delivered Or
ders to his lleutenants to execute Rasures.
| The victim, in pathetic letter, appealed
to United States Consul Lynn to save
him, saying that he was an American
citizen guiltless of transgression against
any law, and that hondragOn had had
! HIM arrested to crafty his vengeance,
THE LETTER HELD BACK.
This letter was delivered to Consul
Lynn ten hours after its author had been
basey shot. Prior to receiving the COM
munication Consul Lynn had already APP
peared before the proper authorities of
Piedras Negras and demanded lnasmuch
as Rasures was an American citizen, and
had been illegally eXtradited without
proper representation or hearing,
that he be forthwith released.
Mondragon said that Rasures was out of
their hands, his case having been trans
ferred to the higher court at Saltillo,
where the Consul would have to make his
demands.
DELIBERATE LIE.
subsequent events prove Jnls assertion
OF MondIagon false. Consul Lynn has
telegraphed the facts of the case to Secre-
tary Bayard, at the same time informing
| the State Department that the reported
/ Outrages to American citizens on the Rio
! Graude and in Mexico were not eX-
! aggerated, but true, and suggesting
vigorous action on the part OF the
I general government for their protection.
| The excitement here over this terrible
/ OUTRAGE is at a dangerous pitch, and the
county officials who were a party to it are
| roundly denounced and will be sumnarily
removed from office.

PULP Mill BURNED.

The Bedens Falls Pulp company's
mill at Bcldcn's Falls, two miles north of
here, was destroyed by fire Monday
night. The loss is estimated at 1900:
insurance, $4,000. placed in five different
companies through a Burlington agency.
The building was situated in the hollow
about 100 feet below and - rods west of
+. w. Smith Il cos marble mill. 1t was
AN irregular structure, two stories in
height. and 60 by 50 feet in dimensions.
At the east side of it was Il tall wooden
Whec-house, containing an upright shaft
with IA big gearing at the top that drove
Il long shaft which went up the hill and
furnished power to the Marble mill. The
WheeI-housc had been in use for good
while and was pretty well soaked with
tar and grease thrown off from the gear
ing aS it rapidly revOlved. The pulp
mill was erected by McsSrs. \. II. Fisher
and Robinson Cartmcll, five years ago.
for the purpose of testing the pulp-grind-
ing machine which Mr.. Cartmell had
then lately invented. The building was
enlarged after it came into the possess
ion of its recent owners.
Very soon after 10 o'clock Monday
night it was found that the top of the
wheel-house was in flames. In a few
minutes the fire had gotten into the mill
itself and it was notla great while before
that was all going. Not much could be
done to stay the progress of the fire.
Luckily rain had fallen the previous day,
that the surrounding woods and
houses were saved without difficulty.
Some of those occupying the tenements
close by were afraid, however, and
moved out their furniture. Little is left
of The mill except few charred timbers
and the twisted shafting and pipes and
damaged machinery. 1t is supposed that
AN ovcr-heated box in the top of the
Whccl-houSe caused the trouble. The
puip-mill was not running at the time
but WaS to start up at midnight. The
marble mill was going. Latterly the wa
ter ha, been scarce and both mills could
NOT run at the same time. OF the ma
churry nothing is left of any value eX-
crpt ihc wafer wheels. The shaft giving
power to thc marble mill was twisted by
the heat and must be repaired,
TIA, marble mill will be shut down
two or tlircc weeks. The pulp mill will
hc rebuilt at once, and the management
hope to having it going again in eight
weeks AT the longest. 1t employed II
men.

THAT BOLT AND lTs CONSEQUENCES.

The only interesting feature of the late
election in this county was the bolt in
the north end against Mr.. ID. W. Nash,
the nominee for Senator He was elect
ed Mr.. Stevens, the bolter, lacking near
ly two hundred votes of a majority
tive and is not fully understood. 1t will
be profitable, therefore, to review the
canvass and see how the bolt originated
and what it meant.
When candidates for the SenatorShip
were talked of, early in the spring, there
were two men in the field up north, Mr..
Martin F. Allen of Ferrisburgh and Mr..
Stevens of Nergennes. Mr.. Allen was
apparently the favorte there, and he had
more friends than his rival in this end of
the county. There was but one him
as to his position on the United States
senatorship. lie was slow to make his
sentiments known. but in the meantime
kept at work and was distancng his
opponent. MI 1tllluluS lTltHuS COulu
not allow the election of an anti-Ed-
munds senator; and, failing to procure a
statement from Mr.. Allen, they felt that
new man should be placed in the field.
Hence the candidacy of Mr.. Nash, who
had no aspirations for the office. He wa-
selected because ne was available, was
an out-and-out Edmunds man and wa,
well qualified for the place. Mr. Allen
finally made made himself plain on tn,
side Of Mr.. Edmunds, but it was toe
late. Mr.. Nash's friends could not theI
abandon him. The result was Mr.. Nash
nomination and election
Mr.. Stevens never had any chance oI
the nomination. If Mr.. Nash had moi
come in, Mr.. Allen would certainly hav,
been the nominee. Personal feeling haC
nothing whatever to do with the matter
The candidacy of Mr. Nash was simply
and solely move on the part of Mr.. Ed
munds' friends to secure solid senate
rial delegation from this county for him
That was what ninety-nine out of a hun
dred of the Republicans of the county
wanted; and the object was attained
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1886-09-17

Mr.. Stevens was fairly defeated in the
convention, but his friends knew no bet
ter than to get up "A bolt. They enlisted
the services of few Democrats. sent
emissaries all over the county and made
themselves ridiculous generally.
Mr.. Stevens is worse off than he posi-
bly, could have been if his friends had
kept still. He has placed himself out
side his party, and is never likely again
to receive office at its hands.
There are two truths that those who
are inclined to bolt will do well to re-
member: First, that such moves seldom
succeed; and, second, that boilers al
ways bring upon themselves political
death. Men who are fit for Office are al
most certain to obtain it, at some time
or other, in the regular way, and those
who are unfit never can attain the object
of their desires, though they make ever
so many alliances and spend ever so
much money. The people decide these
thing, and their decisions are in the
main correct.

THE Boston journal is much like the
men who write war articles for the mag
aZines: it knows all about it after the
fight is over. The journal is generally
understood to get its opinions ON Yer
mont matters from st. Adams; hence
this editorial expression means much:
There could not have been "A doubt in
the minds of intelligent men about the
election of IA legislature which would i'll
sure the reelection of Senator Edmunds,
so that one is surprised that any attempt
was made to compass his defeat. The fact
that nine-tenths of the Republican mem
bers of the legislature are in favor of Mr..
Edmunds shows the extent of the failure
of those who proposed to defeat him.

The full returns from the county show
the election of all the Republican candi-

majorities. Mr.. Nash's majority, under
the circumstances, is better than a larger
