But what is long life worth, qucs-
ton, as mere physical lingering, a care
and burden, even if dear one to
others? Is it not far better to live act
lively and energetically, to generate suffi-
cient intellectual energy to wear out the
physical in due time and then pass to
the next higher condition of existence.
rather than to waste years in a species
OF living death here? With higher
and more enlightened civilization we
shall probably come to prize life for its
quality rather than for its quantity-

lists in this county. 1t will be remembered VIM.
Bolton, white citizen, was murdered by armed
negroes in the northern part of this county, during
election excitement. The murder rwss unprovOked.
Three of the supposed assassns were arrested and
put in Jail here 1t was reported to-day that COM
pany of fifty negroes, mounted and armed, from
Lofts store where the murder was committed,
were on the way to this place to attack the Jail and
citement The sheriff, in response to request
from the people of Lofts store for protection. this
evening organized fifty armed men and sent them
to that locality eighteen miles distant, at o'clock
tonight.
A dispatch was also sent to Navasota for help,
and fifty armed men likewise left there at O'Clock
tonight.
Orders were received from Gov. Ireland tonight,
to the military companies here to guard the jail,
which they are doing Everybody is armed and on
guard tonight, and if the negroas should make any
attempt they will be given lesson. The rope and
limb are handy and will be gladly used if neces-
sary to protect the homes of the whites.
The whole trouble originated from the teachings
of certain white radical incendiaries, who, If there

court room, and asked for time to rectfy the mis-
take and produce him in court. The court then
continued the case until this afternoon. The al
legged mistake which necessitated Fotheringham' s
absence from the court is believed To have been a
piece of sharp practice by the assistant circuit at
torney, by which the messenger was spirited away,
TO give the company time to secure bench war
rant for the latters arrest so that he might be
Jailed before he secured his liberty on the writ of
habeas corpus
About 10 this morning one of Pinkerton's detec-
uves placed Fotheringham in carriage at the
southern hotel, and told him that he was about to
be taken to the circuit court where his habeas cor
pus case was to be tried The detective was evi-
IDENTITY under instructions to consume as much time
as possible in conveying the messenger thither for
the coachman drove his horses at a walk over
roundabout route, consuming about
three quarters of an hour. In so Going at least
giving enough time to enable bench warrant to he
secured for Fotheringham's arrest.
When the carriage arrived at the circuit court,
prisoner was then taken to four courts where he
was locked up.
short time afterward the grand jury, who had
been investigating the robbery returned an indie
ment against him, charging him with grand lar
cenry, and with receiving of stolen property Two
other indictments were returned-one against
Jim Cummings, and the other against Richard
Roe-concerning the identity of whom nothing is
as yet known. Fotherugham was seen at the Jail
by reporter, and stoptly asserted q at he was in
nocent of the robbery and kaew no more about it
than he had given out in his various statements to
newspaper men and detectives that he had been
shametuly treated all along, and was now about
TO be mtl,ciously prosecuted.

GALVESTON, November 9.-The case of James

jury retGrneda verdict this afternoon finding for
the plaintiff damages to the amount of g., $50. The
former jury found damages in the same case
amounting TO 81 800, but this verdictwas reversed
by the supreme court. Plaintiff Stanly occupied
small cottage on leased ground, which was claimed
10y the Galveston City Railway company, who sum
marly tore the house down and pitchedin the street
il order TO lay It's track The company's title to
the iand proved defective, and while the jury found
the actual damages were only 500 it is said the
lawyer fees and expenses in carrying the case to
the supreme court are equivalent to verdict.
The inquest on the body of James Phillips, the
old boatm9u found dead on his schooner near Peli-
hours hearing, pending the arrival of witnesses
from Pelican. is certain that Phillips was foully
murdered and fhen hung up in his cabin to give
color TO the suicide theory. Deceased mad no fam
ily re had been struck on the head by hatchet.
A great deal surrounds the murder. So far as is
known the detectives have no clue.

provisions. Delos McCurdy has the case of the
contestants in charge. The question that would
be submitted to the court, he said was one en-
tirely of legal character. 1t was decided by the
legatees under this will that the court should con
strue that part of it which bequeathed an immense
fortune to the executors to be known the Tilden

ants was, that this plenary provision could be
set aside, the ground that testator cannot vest
in his executors such discretionary powers as can
be exercised properly by himself. II has been as

has been very much under-stated; that, instead Of
