n the back with load of buck shot from

It was entirely unexpected. 1t was a
lowardly, villainous attempt to assassinate
me of the best citizens in that
ountry. An indignant citizen talked
oudly of iynching the cowardly scoundrel,
which they will no doubt do in case of the
Heath of Doctor Tompkins. He was ar
ested and i'm prisoned soon after the shoot
ng. The doctor was going home from
DR.. John II. B. Houses plantation where
ne had been to dinner, when the shooting
occurred. He married Miss Ida Matthews,

Houston, July 20.-At IL O'Clock this
morning, the hour appointed for the sell
ing of the first bale of cotton received
here yesterday by t. W, House, the
spacious hall of the cotton exchange was
filled with a fine looking body of men.
Prominent bankers, brokers, cotton
buyers, merchants, cotton factors,
compress men, railroad men, Brad
street representatives, express
managers and capitalists composed the
assembly. In one of those happy, facetious
efforts which have made him so popular
at all public or private gatherings, Cap
tain Kidd addressed those present on the
object of the gathering. He read the re-
port of Messrs. s. L. Goldman, s. j. Dick
and @. j. Wolkart, who were ap-
pointed by the exchange to classify
and inspect the cotton, and reported
upon the cotton as an extra good grace
of strict middling. Captain Kidd stated
that Mrs. Hausman, the grower OF the
cotton, intended to donate the amount
received for the bale to a church In her
neighborhood.
The speaker also gave the following data
as to the first bales of cotton received at
Houston before any other point in the
United States: July 8, 1879, received by
T. w. House and sold to M.
Watson for $94.5O; July IL, 1880,
received by T. W. House and sold to
w. S. Cleveland g. Co., for 1905; July
IL, 1881, received by L. W. House and sold
to Harris g. Bro. for $425-the largest
price ever paid for the first bale in Hous-
ton. The other first bales were received
as follows: July 5, 1882; July 8, 1888;
July %, 1884 and 1885; July IS, 1886.
Last year the first bale arrived July g. and
was sold to W. o. Ellis for $3.50. M. H.
Armistead bid 500 for the cotton, and A.
L. Steele bid $105, and it was knocked
down to him. The bale weighed 367
pounds, making it cost the purchaser
281a cents.

Seven Persons Killed by the Bursting Of
Steam Pipe.
LOUISVILLE, KY, July 2O.-The explo
sion of the steam pipe that supplied the
engine from the boiler caused the death
of seven men of the crew of the tug boat
Conway at LAO O'Clock this morning. The
accident occurred twenty-six miles up the

men were asleep at the time.
Following is the list of the victims:

terrific explosion. The whole boat be-
came enveloped ia steam and the
machinery stopped. The captain, who
was asleep, hurriedly dressed, called
his men and made preparations tc
land, the yawl was lowered, the line taken
On and the boat was towed ashore snd
made fast to a tree.
Then the captain proceeded to the
after cabin where the explosion occurred
William Page lay near the door, the
blood rushing from his mouth and ears
and the flesh scalded off his body. Will
liam Harrigen was in his berth. His
death must have been instantaneous for
he lay in the same position as when he
retired. Robert Jones was on the floor
and barely alive. He was horribly burned
and lived but fifteen minutes. He died
with his wife's name on his lips. William
Brigsley was still alive when found, but
died in ten minutes. Charles Luster was
found outside the cabin lying on
his face. He was not dead and told them
he had run out there as soon as he could
recover from The shook of the explosion
He was almost baked. His skin was
parched and little jets of blood stood out
from parts of his body. In two hours he
was dead. Geo. McCann lay dead. VIM
Kelley was pulled out from under his bunk
and was alive, but he was also terribly
burned. Chas. Chambers, another mar
who slept in the cabin, was blown out Of
the door. He had miraculous escape.
The officers of the boat can give no ex-
PLANTATION of the accident, and claim the
machinery was inspected last February
and was then in excellent condition. An
inquest will be held this afternoon and the
bodies returned to Pittsburp.

Woman's Throat.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
WACO, July 21.-Miss Bell Barbour, a
comely young woman who singly occu-
pied a cottage in the northern portion of
the city, was aroused at o'clock this
morning by sharp, singing sensation
on her lips, She arose to sitting posture,
and finding gigantic negro at her bed
side, uttered a single scream of unusual
energy. However, before she could re-
peat her cry the negro passed a plated
hempen cord around her neck and choked
her senseless. The first scream had alarmed
neighbors, and her hostess, Edna Elmore,
across the street, rushed to the rescue,
seeing which the negro fled. Belle Bar
bour is burned about the mouth with
chloroform, which was profusely
sprinkled on Ger pillow. The edge of the
plated cord cut her neck as if with a
knife.
Mr.. E. A. Rouse, of Axtell, was adjudged
insane last week and ordered to Austin.
Pending arrangements, he was guarded
in room in this city, and
this morning he died suddenly of hem
morhage of the brain. He was a religious
enthusiast. Mr.. Rouse leaves a wife and
six children.
The local papers are giving ludicrous
accounts of the sequel of an attempted
rape story. 1t appeared on investigation
that two families occupying the same
house, to get fresh air, made beds on @
balcony, and in this way mistakes oc-
cured, which we're explained away.

Wero Masked.
SAN LUIS OB1sPo, CAL, July 21.-The
stage running between this place and
Templeton was robbed by masked man
last night while crossing the mountains,
about five miles from here. The robber
ordered the driver to stop and imme-
diately covered him with his revolver.
He then compelled the passengers, six in
number, and the driver, to alight from
the stage and covered the heads of all
with masks. The passengers we're placed
in a row and robbed of about $500 al
together.
There was one lady passenger. Nothing
was taken from her, The driver was then
ordered to throw off the Wells-Fargo ex.
press box and United States mail bags.
The box was chopped open and the con-
tents, which we're supposed to be about
$4,000, taken. The mail was also opened
and a number of letters examined. The rob-
Der then collected his booty and disap-
peared up the mountain. The sheriff and
posse are now in pursuit.
