faithfully carried out by. Contractor
Wilke, that the building was now correct,
frst-class in every particular, and in his
opinion one of the finest and best con-

was now entirely satisfied, except as to
one thing. The pillars in the base

TO SAVE.HIS HONOR.
The Killing of a: Supposed Burglar at Laredo
Turns out TO be q Cold Blooded MURDER
Special 10 the Gazette.

The Killing of a: Supposed Burglar at Laredo
Turns out TO be q Gold Blooded Murder.
Special 10 the Gazette.
LAREDO, Tex, Dec. More Develop
ments have come to light in the Ornelas
murder case to-day. 1t seems that the
officers suspected that his first story of the
killing of Trejos to save his master s
property from being stolen by the latter
party, was not correct. They began an
inv astigation and found that OrrIelas had
been gambling the morning before he
killed Trejos, and portion of tho money
he lost was identified as MIR. Bryant 5.
He was jailed, and to-day the sheriff and
MIR. Bryant went To him and finally pre-
vailed upon him, to coufesS that he killed
TTuios in cold blood, and he says
he did it TO save his honor,
as he had stolen the money.
Although he is only nineteen years of
age the chances are now that he will so
up for life or else be hung. Such de-
praTlty and premeditated crime is seldom
seen even on this border. He planned to
kill Treios and scattered his masters
property in the back yard in the endeavor
to show that the same was in the act of
being stolen when he came to the rescue
and shot the thief.

A SCENE.
An Irate Woman Has Pitched Battle with Fer
Husband.

An Irate Woman Has Pitched Battle With Fer
Husband.
Not many blocks from the opera house
is a two story house of questionable char
acter. There lived in this house a man
and woman, husband and wife. Some
time ago the husband brought suit for
divorce, alleging cruel treat
ment and other things as grounds
for the action. The wife left the city
and has been gone some time. The di-
vorce suit was never tried and 1t Is said
the husband has been sending the wife
certain sum of money every month. A
day or two ago the wife returned and went
to the house where she found her
husband. They shook hands very coldly
and then the wife noticed the parlor door
was shut and started to enter the room.
The husband stopped her, saying:
Don t go in there, there is someone in
that room.'' This only made the wife
more anxious to enter and she made
dash for the door. The husband
caught her and then there was
Il pitched battle, the wife using
her travelling satchel as a weapon with
marked effect. The difficulty lasted
some minutes which was sufficient time
for female figure, very pretty woman
too, to get out of one of the parlor win
dows and get away from the house.
When the angry wife got in the parlor
there was no one there.

A KAFlR'S LOVE MAKING.
Owing to the Custom of His Country, He Seldom
Dies of Broken Heart.
. Calcutta Gazette,

A Kafir, having fixed his affections
upon some female, acquaints his parents
with his intentions. They apply to the
girl S parents, and if the latter do not
consent to the union fight is inevitable :.
If the parents agree the. next proceeding
is to appoint two expert female negotia-
tors, who obtain access by strategem TO
the house, with the object of broaehing
the subject to the young lady.
They carefully avoid any sudden or
abrupt mention of the awful subject
of their mission, but launch ont in praises
of the man who seeks her hand. They
speak of his possessions, bis courage and
Accomplishments. The girl pretending
to be affronted even Ut these remote
hints, grows refractory and runs away 4,
tearing the ringlets of her hair as she re-
tires.

the consent OF the parents, drag her from

there leave her. She is compelled
20 live here several days, silent and
detected, refusing food, till at last, if
kind entreaties do not prevail, she is
made to submit by blows to the union.
The Kafir who has the reputation of hav-
ing committed number of murders of
Iahometans enjoys exceptional privi-
leges; he is respected by all the neigh
borhood and experiences little or no diff
ficulties in procuring wife. The Kahr
woman is doomed to life of toll and
drudgery, and the husband can discard
her whenever he feels so disposed.

form of twelve years ago to prove that
the platform of 1858 is nnwise. Each
national platform speaks of the pc.

sent themselves. Most people learn BY
