A somewhat stout and unwieldy Mexican
woman named Narcisa Cara, who had Just
come in OF the Sunset train from Uvalde was
thrown frOma closed street car on the Avenue
g line on Austin street, near the depot, this
morning, the back of her head striking a sharp
rock was badly cut, small cerebral artery
being cut. She had never rode on a street car
before and when she wanted to get of did not
know how to stop the car and was ignorant of
the bell rope. She stepped of the car while IL
was in rapid motion, and OF course met with a
hard fall. Officer James Bowen took her to
the city PHYSICIANS office, at Kalteyer's drug
store and her wound was speedily dressed.
IL is not regarled as dangerous.

The most peaceable and dangerous
man in oil this Jnited States lives in
Murray County, Georgia. He is kind
hearted, good-tempered, never had u
quarrel in his life, wouldn't hurt a fly,
and everybody is afraid of him. About
year ago he was cutting wood, when
the ak flew off tho handle and killed a
man who had come to pay him 500; he
never got cent of the money. The
next week, while ferrying a friend
across o river, he ran the boat against
o snag and his friend was drowned.
About month later he felled tree on.
a stranger who was lying asleep in the
woods, killing him instantly. Not long
after he shot at wild turkey and
killed neighbor whom he didn't see
ut all. Three weeks afterward he
lighted kerosene lamp, when it sud-
denly exploded, burning to death

Georgian had courteously extended the

lie act was to cross the street with q
ladder on his shoulder, last Fourth of
July, while tho procession was passing,
and, when somebody shouted to him to
"hurry on" he obligingly turned
around and started back. The process
sion was laid out and the day spoiled.

Starving Cattle.

CHICAGO, May 16.-A special TO the
Times from Big Springs. Texas, says
Reports regarding the effect of the long
drouth are beginning to come in. The
plains west of here are parched and dry,
and carcasses of thousands Of cattle
are o be seen in every direction. In
some localities no rain has fallen since
last September.
J. NJ. Dawson and Col. w. z. Hughes
returned to-day from a tip as far west
ward as old Mexico. Mr.. Dawson says
that from this side OF Pecos, over in
Mexico. as far north as Arizona,
it is drier than it HIS been in twenty
years. OF 100000 head of cattle in
Texas. one-third are in the section
visited by the drought. Cattle are
dying by thousands for want of water
and grass. There is very little grass
anywhere near the water, and that
little is so dry and dead that it does not
contain enough substance TO do the
cattle any good. Cattle are very thin
and getting thinner every day, and If
no rain comes within thirty days the
cattle business in West Texas will be
ruined. People are very gloomy over
the on look. The drought extends east
as far as Big Springs. No clouds have
been seen I'm months. Even il it should
rain now the cattle would not get fat
enough for market this year. A rough.
estimate places the rate of mortality By
thirst and starvation at 800 head per
day. Fully 10000 carcasses cover the
plains. The stencil. as one passes along
the Texas Pacific west OF here. is ter
rible.

LONDON. May 17.-Beach, the Austral-
ian sculler, who arrived here yesterday,
IS in robust health. He was accom-
panied by his trainer, Kempe, and his
hacker and manager, Dobble. In an
interview, to-day. with an Associated
Press representative, Beach said that he
hal as yet arranged no engagements,
but had come TO England TO row any
one willing TO accept his challenge. He
did not intend to practice much for a
month or so. His weight. he said,
was 200 pounds, having increased
fourteen pounds on the voyage. His
rowing weight is 16S pounds. TO which he
can quickly reduce himself If necessary.
He will shortly challenge the world
for a race for from 5000 upwards, and
will row for nothing less. Speaking of
Hanlan. he said: Hanlan Is a very fair
oarsman. Ii he denies that he was
beaten fairly and treated cordially at
Australia, he tells falsehood. He was
unable toappreciate the kindness of the
Colonists who gave him $3.50, which he
did not even thank them for. /
am not in the least afraid to
row Hanlan, but / shall not go to
America unless he first comes b. Eng
land, nor will l offer him special ad-
vantases il he decides to come here.
During the voyage the captain, noticing
my increase in flesh, offered me the
privilege of working in the stoke-hole
four hours daily to keep down my
weight"

SENATE

WASHINGTON, May II. After routine
business in the Senate to-day, Frye
called the House shipping bill, entitled /:
a bill to abolish certain fees for Off
e;al services TO American vessels, and
N amend the law relating to shipping
commissioners. seamen and owners OF
-essels." This is the bill passed by thu
House OF Representatives on February
4tb last, abOlishing the fees for measur-
ing tonnage. for issuing licenses, regis
nv certificates and a great variety of
other fees.) The bill having been read,
Mr.. FRYE moved to add to it a new sec
ion, the provisions of the bill recently
-eported bv him from the committee on
commerce, authorizing the President to
issue q proclamation whenever he may
deem IL proper, denyiog to the vessels
az foreign countries such privileges as
are denied in such foreign countries to
vessels of the United States. (This is
the proposition authorizing a retalia-
ion for the recent action of the Do
minion of Canada in excluding United
States vessels from certain privil-
eyes in Canadian ports, but the
provision of Mr.. Frye's bill
is not confined to Canada, but Is made
general, so as to apply to all foreign
countries.)
After some inquiry by Mr.. McPher-
son and Mr.. Vest and a reply by Mr..
Frye, the amendment was agreed to
without debate
The bill as amended by the Senate
was then passed, and on motion of Mr..
FRYE. a committee of conference was
ordered on the disagreeing votes of the
two Houses upon the bill.
Proceeding to the calendar the Senate
passed the following measures: The

States Circuit and District Couts to be
used Interchangeable

<0rnia to take lands in lieu of the six
.eenth aud thirty-sixth sections, found

The chair appointed as conference
committee on the shipping bill Ssed
thismoTning, Messrs. Miller, Dol! and
Test (Mr. Frye had announced that he
vas obliged TO be absent from the SEN
ale for an indefinite time).
at o'clock, the pension bill was laid
before then Senate. The pending
amendment was that heretofore offered
oy Mr.. Van Wyck, providing that no
soldier under the act shall receive less
han IS per month.
Mr.. Blair moved to amend the amend
nent by substituting 81 for IS. Re-
lected.
Nj. Logan moved an amendment
providing that all pensions heretofore
granted under any previous act
20 any soldier shall, where less
Lhan s. q month has been allowed, be
increased to IS a month, and no less
ameunt ehall be allowed to any pen
previous act. Rejected.
Without further action the Senate
Fsnt into executive session, and, when
re doors opened, adjourned.
