BUTCHERED AND BURNED.
Eight CoIored Men Meet a Horrible
Death.

One of the bloodiest crimes that ever dark
ened the pages of the history Of Texas has
been enacted at Spanish Camp, a small settle
ment on the Colorado River, in Wharton coun-
ty, about sixty-five miles southeast OF Houston.
The Spanish Camp neighborhood is rich in
farming lands, but inhabited mostly by
negroes and Mexicans, the proportion of
whites being very small The rich and pro-
ductive land occupied by seven or eight male
negroes in litigation The other
parties TO the suit were white men, who
wished TO GUST the colored people ami gain
possession of the best portion of Spanish
Camp. The suit was gained by the colored
defendants, and they were told that they
might go and enjoy their possessions. Their
counsel Informed them that no further bar
rier existed to prevent them from going TO
their homes and remaining there Accord
ingly they mounted their horses and started
for the Spanish Camp. That evening the
majority of the little cavalcade saw the sun
set for the last time
dozen or more unknown men crept
quietly up to the double cabin about mid
night and surrounded the rude dwelling with
piles of wood, over which kerosene oil had
been literally poured, The inmates of the
cabin were sleeping soundly when they were
aroused by the roar of flames and found
themselves surrounded by circle of fire
Dazed and hardly knowing what theywere do
ing, they broke through the doorway and win
dows when the crack of Winchesters and the
heavy reports of shotguns mingled with the
noise of the flames. Five of the terror
stricken negroes fell dead, riddled with bull
lets.
A sixth escaped in the bush sorely wounded
and two boys, too frightened to do anything
remained in the cabin and were roasted to
death. The wounded man managed to get
horse and was making off toward Wharton
when he was fired upon. He reached Whar-
ton on foot his horse having fallen from bull
let wounds. He informed Sheriff Jones of the
tragedy. The Sheriff and a posse at
once started out. Another colored man was
fond hanging to a tree near the burned
cabin.

FATAL DISASTERS.
AvaIanches of Snow in Italy Destroy
ing Villages and People.

Snow storms of exceptional severity hav
been prevailing in Northern Italy. The mu-
nicipal authorities at Turin have ordered the
theatres, schools and markets to be closed in
order to prevent accidents through
the falling of masses of snow. Several
roofs have already collapsed, including that
of the railway freight depot Several vii
lagos in the Alps have been destroyed by
avalanches and many lives have been lost.
Troops have been dispatched to aid the suf-
ferers. Many villages near Genoa
and Lake Como are suffering for
the lack of food and soldiers are
cutting their way through the snow to re-
lieve them. A custom house near Revere was
DESTROYED by an avalanche, and three guards
and four other persons were killed. An ava
lanche covered the village of Sterpone, near
Irerea, and thirty lives were lost
Several avalanches haveo.ccurred in the
Province of Oviedo, Spain, destroying a
railway bridge and a number of houses.
Eleven persons were killed at Paiares.

RAGING FLAMES,
A Disastrous Fire in the Heart OF
New York City.

A Disastrous Fire in the Heart OF
New York City.
For the third time within month the
ominous signal known as the "Three Skies
has been sounded in New York City, bring.
ing into service nearly one-half of the com
panies composing the fighting force OF
the department. This has never before
rccurred in the twenty-three years
of the departments existence. The
fire which called for this remarkable
masslng of forces broke out about 1880
o'clock in the immense structure at Lexington
avenue and Forty second street, known as the
POTTER & Stymus Building. This was sub.
stantial structure of brick, six stories
high. This is now a mass of ruins.
From there the flames spread to the adjoin-
ing property, and before the firemen could
arrest their progress six tenement houses, an
acre of small buildings and a factory en-
ploying 1,400 hands were completely de-
stroyed. The Vanderbilt Hotel and nine
other buildings were greatly injured.
Measured by cold figures twenty-five fam
lilies, embracing lis souls, were turned out. in
the world without any of their effects left,
the furniture of eight others was damaged
and broken by water and removal, and over
81, 500, 600 worth of buildings and stock were
destroyed before the flames would acknowl
edge the supremacy of the firemen.

DEPENDENT SOLDIERS.
Interesting Figures Furnished By
the Pension Bureau.

Pension Commissioner Black has sent to
Chairman Matson OF the House Invalid Pen
sion Committee a report furnished to the
Pension Office. by its agents concerning
the number of the disabled and dependent
Union soldiers in the different States. He
has in this way learned, as nearly perhaps
as possible, exactly the number of such
soldiers and their dependent relatives. The
report is so complete as to cover all but 50
counties in all the States. The grand totals
of Union soldiers supported in Government
and private charitable institutions was in
October, 1887, Sc, 953. Of this number Is, 152
were in soldiers homes, while 81 sol were in
State and county institutions or supported
by charitable aid in towns. The report by
States is interesting as showing in which
States the number of veterans dependent
upon aims is largest. Massachusetts, leads
the list, which is as follows:
