DOUBLE TRAGEDY IN A TEXAS
SAL DON

LAREDO, Tex, May 29-About 10 O'Clock
today parties in the neighborhood of Mar
ket plaza were startled by a rapid ex-
change of pistol shots, and the smoke
which poured out of the Grand Central
saloon located that building as the place
where the firing occurred. Upon the floor
in front of the bar Lee Pope, of Fort
Ewell, La Sale county, lay stretched at
full length, dead, a crimson stain on his
white shirt, Just over the region of the
heart, showing where the fatal missile of
death had entered. In the adjoining
room the barkeeper of the house,
Juan RoSaleS lay in mortal
agony, with crowd around him and phv-
sicians ministering to his wants. He had
been shot in the bowels the ball entering
in front and coming out of his back; and
also shot in the left shoulder, which was
shattered in a horrible manner.
Acct was procured and the wounded man
was conveyed to the house of his brother
Benito Rosales, where be now lies at the
point of death, and is not expected TO live
until tomorrow.
The evidence at the coroner's INQUEST
elected the fact that Pope and three Mexi-
cans had been drinking at the bar, when
the Nexicans, who had invited Pope TO
drink. walked out before he had finished
his lemonade, and Rosales demanded pay
ment of Pope, curSing him and calling him
hard names Pope told him he would whip
him if he had two whole arms Pope was
carrying his left arm in a sling at the
time, having had il broken a few days
ago by being thrown from a horse. Ros-
aies again cursed him and took pistol
down from the rear of the bar Pope
went out and returned with something in
his hand. Standing in the north door

Were it possible for every person of the re-
public TO see for himself the condition and
recompense of labor in Europe, the part of
free trade IN the United States would not
receive the support OF one wage worker be-

directly in cur power, as philan-

pean laborer, but it will be a
lasting stigma upon our craftsmanship If
we permit the American laborers to be

the end, the rewards of labor everywhere
will be advanced, if we steadily refuse to
lower the standard at home. Yours very

NIAGARA RIVER.
An Invention Which Will Utilize Her Vast
Water Power.
[Signed.]


WILKEsBARRE, Pa, May 29-Not long
ago the business men of Buffalo offered a
very big reward for an invention that
would utilize the vast water power of the
Niagara river, This set the inventors of
the country cudgeling their brains, and
among those who went to work was old
David Culver, of Forty Fort, this county,
whose inventive genius has before now
manifested itself in various ways.
The result of his labors was shown yes
terday in the Susquehanna river just oppo-
site the Dorrance breaker. 1t was in
spected by number Of mechanics. A
working model of his invention was placed
in the river near enough to the shore to
admit of inspection. 1t is a wheel 81 feet
in diameter and in contrast to all other
water wheels, which are placed perpen-
dicularly, it lies horizontally on the bot
tom of the river. tits furnished with eight
paddles or blades, hinged to the frame in
such a manner that those which are go
ing with the current and against which
the water is pressing expose their full
breadth to its force, while those that are
travelling against the current lie fiat
along the water and afford very little OPP
position TO the revolution of the wheel.
The blades in the model exhibited were "a
inches long by ~ inches wide. The action
VI bIle WHICH, was DtIlfCL, VIC liIOl4Ol
steady, and the blades moved at exactly
the same rate as the current. The
axis OF the wheel can be readily
geared to a thaft underneath it. The
model was running without this attach
ment, but Mr.. Culver states that he had it
attached to a shaft drum round which d
rope was wound and that even with this
small model a power was developed equal
70 about one-half horse power with a
pretty swift current. OF course the swifter
the current the more power developed. The
great beauty of this invention is the fact
that no dams, sluiceways or other ex-
pensive constructions are neceS-
sary. Any number of wheels can be laid
down right in the bed of the river and at
tached TO the same shaft, and great
amount of power can thus be developed.
These wheels can run summer and winter.
Ice would not affect them, as they are at
the bottom of the river All those who
examined the wheel were of the opinion
that it was good invention and of great

NORTHERN FARMERS HAPPY.

ST. PAUL, May 29.-Though the rains
throughout the northwest lately have been
severe, eliminating yesterday in very
general downpour, advices indicate that
the crops have not been in the least injur-
ed. About the Red river valley, in North
ern Dakota and Minnesota, the rains were
needed, 1t is estimated that the wheat
output will be largely increased and will
reach 50,00o,000 bushels, In some places
seeding was delayed, and everywhere corn
is late in seeding, but not so late as to in
jure the CROP.
Where wheat has appeared above the
ground it was not injured at all by the re-
cent storm, as it was not heavy enough to
do it damage
In South Dakota and Minnesota the out
look is excellent and the warm rain was
welcomed rather than regretted. No one
feels any concern.
