James M. Drake, charged by indict,
ment with the murder of Professor Samue
l.. Quinn, had q habeas corpus trial in
Waco on Wednesday before Judge j. Nj
Hurt, of the court of appeals. Two start
ling incidents occurred. The first was the
introduction Of the dying declaration OF
Professor Quinn, taken by Justice
Sleeper. This paper was recently found,
II was not presented at the former trial,
having been misplaced. The second SEN
sation was the testimony of Mrs. L. Ruhl,
new witness, who did not testify at the
former trial. Mrs. Ruhl testified that she
witnessed the shooting and that Professor
Quinn was armed with Ratchet.
The state in rebuttal put on n witness
to show that the place designated by Mrs.
Ruhl as her point of observation is out
of sight of the scene of the killing.
Judge Hurt cut the matter short by get.
ting on street ear and visiting the place,
making his own reconnaissance.

The Bernard river has hot been as high
in forty-two years, and many fine crops
on that stream are entirely ruined by its
overlooking waters. In other parts of
Brazoria co1nty crops seem to be doing
remarkably well. though few are badly
in the grass. Commencing On the 4th,
it rained every day till the 9th. The
clouds have now cleared away, and few
days of dry weather will make prospects
bright again. As general thing crops
along the Brazos and Oyster creek are
good. The early appearance of worms is
expected, though as yet none are reported
After the experience of last year farmers
seem to have but little fear of worms, pro
vided they can get supply of paris green
aud large quantities of it have already
been brought into the county.
