By a special dispatch to the FL Paso Times
II Is Just learned that the second cham DER OF
the supreme tribunal of Chihuahua took up
the case OF A. K Cutting, and after viewing
the entire evidence the argument began.
This did not last long. The attorneys had
previously come to an agreement that the
Two months lnE n soument already suffered
by CuLL-ng he considered a complete punish
ment of his crime. This makes it certain
beyond doubt that the sentence which fol
lows shortly viii conform to this agreement.
The case was heard within closed doors.
I The court holds both Judge Castenada and
Judge Subla exactly right in trying and SEN
fencing Cutting, but under the clrCum-
stances, the court th1nkshe has now, by two
months confinement. suffered enough, and
will order his release, TO take effect probably
by Tuesday or Wednesday OF next week.
The 5000 fine viii also be RENTED. The
court expressly reathEms all that has been
said in favo- Of the right Of Mexico to try
an Odens6 committed IN the United States.
Therefore the status of the case, as an inter
national question, is not and viii not be In
the least changed by the release Of Cutting.
IL W1ll come up again directly on a question
of idemnity.
! a special from Galveston, Texas, says:
The storm of a few nights ago, wrecked
about 80 houses and did damage TO the eL-
tent of 100000. The storms broke over
the city and in a short time the easteElT hurri-
cane had driven the waters of The bay mp to
/ Seventeenth street. 1t was not till mid
night, no Rever, that the people began to
appreciate their danger aud made attempts
20 save their property. The night vas IN
/ tensely dark, and only the crash of falling
buildings, the roaring of the winds and the
sound of the rushing waters told of the
destruction going on. In many streets and
yards the water was over head deep and BeO-
pie escaping from their Iottering and tumb-
ling homes were compelled to drift of on
hastily imprOVised RATS. In the vicinity of
the Beach hotel the bath houses, immense
pagodas, and saloons We're washed away
aud the basement of the hotel was flooded
All the street railway tracks on the beach
and the tracks OF the narrow guage Texas
a. Mexico railway were torn away. Nearly
every bridge in the city went down. On the
bay small craft suffered immensely The
schooner "Laomi Perkins" was wrecked
and all but one Of her crew of six lost.
Frank Deman, q Bohemian labor5r, mur-
dered his wife and shot himself at their
home, IN Chicago. Frank kubaha, young
man, heard the report of a revolver in the
adjoining house, which was occupied by the
Demans; and moment later saw Demau
rush from the back door into the alley Wild
ly brandishing a revolver. kubaha glanced
through the window and saw the form OF
Mrs. Deman PROSTATE on the floor, bleeding
from a wound IN her left breast. He ran
after this murderer Pud attempted TO arrest
him, but Deman turned and fired at him.
hubaha turned back into the house and at
tempted to revive the wounded woman, but
his efforts were N vain and she died in
few moments. He called the ueighbOrs,
who soon cOngregat6d and surrounded the
murderer, who seeing that escape was cut OF
pointed his still smoking WeEpOu at his own
breast and fell shot through the heart. He
died almost instantly, Deman was about
sixty years old and his wife tifty-hve. The
couple had three sons who were employed
in the Maieabie Iron works and were toler-
able well to do. They have lived pleasantly
so far as known, and no cause is given for
the fatal quarrel.

The body Of a woman was discovered near
! Springfield, o. The features were horribly
. distorted and black as a negro from expos
. urs to the elements. Decomposition had set
in, and the CHASTITY expression OF the face
: and the terrible stencil made g most sickeu-
ing case. On close eE4TninatiOnsi t was found
I the victim had been apparently beaten ter
] TlbLW HDDuT the head and hD0W The ElFTTTi
. was crushed II on top and back Of the ear,
I and blood and fetid matter was CoZing cut.
{ Several cleWs were followed up but failed to
/ identity ths woman until the news came TO
I the ears Of friends Of Mary Ackerer Ger
man girl who disappeared Friday night
! from the boarding house of Emil Thisse, on
East Main street, Vhere she had been for
[ several weeks. Her brother soon appeared
[ with photograph which answered in ger
I eral the description of the corpse. Lato at
night the coroner took the key found on her
to the Ihis5e boarding house and found it
| unlocked the door to her room from both
[ sides. A dress found in the deserted room
| also cOrrespOnded eLac ly with the one in
/ the photograph. She was an innocent and
I unsuspecting creature, and it Is believed
/ some scoundrel had lurs5 ner CT and t1ully
] murdered her.
There is no longer any reasonable doubt
| that the government has fully decided TO
/ permanently remove from the territory of
/ Arizona those members of the GhiriCahua,
] anu w arm DIlELIes DALL1 OF Elt-GLG5 now
/ the San Carlos reservation. The only i'm
/ pOrtant question not yet decided Is said to
/ be where shall they be located. This ques-
/ ton, which is q very important one, has re-
/ celved earnest and thoughtful consideration,
I and there now seems 10 be a probability
| that they viii be placed on the i ut Marion
/ military reservation at st. Augustine, ElOri-
da, where Geronimo and his band are now
| CHARTERED. Ihs smHllness Of this rsserva-
ton is. however, regarded as a serious fault,
I and some other less Objectionable may yet be
selected. 1t is stated that the detention at Et,
/ LsaVenWOrth, Kansas, of Chief ChattO and
l his dozen companions, who were returning
I to their reservation from a VIsIttO " ashing-
| ton, and who, as we'll as Geronimo and his
| band Of renegades, belong to the ChiriC4=
l huas, was ordered as precauion against
. their anticipated bitter opposition 10 the
l scheme OF removal. It is also stated that
tbs president has given his willing consent
| to the change, ana has placed the details IN
| the hands of Secretary Lamar and General
/ Sheridan, and that he warmly approves OF
/ the vigorous policy Of General Miles, and
] believes that the peace Of the southwest de-
mands that the hOstiles should be pursued
/ until captured or eLterminated, and that
! Geronimo when captured should be pun
/ lshed a. other perpetrators of high crimes
I are punished.
