SHERMAN, October 1O.-The famous
case of Henry Maynard, charged with an
outrageous assault on Miss Carrie Peters
near White Mound, which went to trial in
the district court day before yesterday,
resulted in hung jury. The jurymen were
locked up yesterday evening and remained
until evening, when they we're brought in
to court and stated they could not agree,
eight standing for conviction and four
for acquittal. They were dischargedby
Judge Head, and Maynard was remanded
to Jail to await another trial. The case
has attracted a great deal of attention,
and the people are divided as to May
nard's guilt.
In April last Miss Peters, girl of
about nineteen years of age, was living
with Maynard and HE wife on farm near
White Mound, in this county. Maynard's
wife was away from home, and he and his
employees were at work on the farm some
distance from the house.
Miss Peters testified that Maynard went
from the farm to the house where she
was alone, and, by force, compelled her to
submit to his wishes, though letter was
produced in court which Miss Peters con-
fessed that she wrote to an attorney in
this city, in which she stated that the
charge she had made against Maynard was
false, and this had its effect on the jury.

WACO, Texas, October 10.-General
George Clark addressed the Young Mems
Democratic club in the district court
room here tonight. A large audience was
present. General Clark paid a splendid
tribute to Hon. Roger Q. Mills
and said that Mr.. Mills
stood side by side with Grover Cleveland
as the embodiment of democratic doc
trine. He gave Mr.. Jones and Mr.. A. @,
Pendergrast some scathing and sarcastic
hits, and said that there were two prime
reasons why Mr.. Jones opposed the Hon
r. Q. Mills. One was because the con-
gressionsl bee was, and had been, buzzing
in his (Jones) bonnet for about ten years
The other was because Mr.. Mills,
for reasons of his own,
was not a prohibitiOnist. Mr.. Clark
|Rlluded to Mr.. Pendergrast's recent letter,
and added that Mr.. Pendergrast now
hsserts that he cannot stomach Mills

BURNET BUDGET,

Local and Personal Items.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
BURNET, October 10.-In the case of the
State vs. j. M. Boyett, tried in the district
court, the jury rendered a verdict of
guilty as charged, fixing the penalty at
ten years in the penitentiary. The charge
against Boyett was the theft of a mule,
under cover of fraudulent bill of sale,
executed by one j. A. Howard. The
state proved, to the satisfaction of the
jury that j. A. Howard was a myth, and
that j. A. Shaw, a confederate of Boyett,
was the man who signed the name of
Howard. The mule was known as an
estray, bat its owner has since been found.
j. A. Shaw is now on trial as a principal
with Boyett.
S. B. Howard, sheriff of San Saba
county, is here as a witness in criminal
cases.

The court has been occupied all day to-
day with the trial of Joe Barbour, charged
with the theft of horse. District Attor-
ney W. H. Browning and County Attorney
j. G. Cook are conducting the prosecu-
tion, and r. H. Ward and T..
E. Hammond, of this place, and
Colonel A. s. Fisher, of Georgetown,
are defending. Every possible point in
the case is being brought out and warmly
contested. A long array of witnesses
from Williamson, Lampasas and Burnet
counties have been examined, and good
crowd of spectators in the court room all
day. Much will depend, no doubt, on the
question of identity and the resemblance
between Joe aud John Barbour, on which
point the testimony is conflicting.
Major Buck Walton, of Austin, is in

W. F. Osborn and John Word, of Marble

SkCkVlLlE'S WINE.
The British Ambassador VIII Sell His
Effects at Auction.


Effects At Auction.
WASHINGTON, Nov. l4.-Local tradesmen
are up in arms because Lord Ssckville has
advertised that next Monday he will sell At
auction his horses ana carriages. a large
assortment of valuable household effects and
the contents of q well-stocEed wine cellar.
Ii il the prospect of the wine sale that dis.
turbs them more than anything else. The
ground of complaint is that these goods were
imported from Europe free of duty, under
the Treasury regulation which excepts
from duty all articles imported for the per-
sonal or family use OF foreign Ministers or
Charges d'Affsirs, and il is not fair the
tradesmen contend, that they should be
disposed of at public sale here in competi-
tion with those imported in the usual way
and upon which duty has been paid. Not
only the liquors, but his carriages and espe-
cially the entire collection Of bric-a-brac
and household effects advertised for sale
were imported from Europe. and the
amount of customs duties on the whole lot
would be considerable. 1t is not generally
known that His Lordship kept the faest
private stock of liquors in the city.
Judge Maynard, Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury, told correspondent today
that the department. has no means of pro-
hioiting the sale and there is No reason
formerly admitted duty free. When they
were brought here they were intended for
the Minister'S personal use. Indeed
it IL hardly Sacxvilles own fault that
be 10 now obliged to sell them.
The action of this Government has
imposed that necessity upon him and
We should not be harsh on him. II is not
American TO kick 3 man when ne is down.
The Supreme Court has decided that to
apply ports ultimately to q purpose diff
ferent from that intended at the time of
importation does not signify if the real in-
tention was in accordance with the dsclzra-
ton made at the time of importation"
Some idea of the extent OF the colec-
ton 10 be sacrificed under the hammer
can be had. Ii Is known that Lord Sack
VILE has entertained as many as 500
guests at one time in the Legation and not
q piece of anything used was hired or bor-
rowed. A great deal of handsome crystal
aud glass was purchased in England last
Summer when the Minister and his dsugh-
ters were abroad, and IS only being un-
packed to be sold.
Lord Ssckville and the Misses Ssckville-
West will not visit Lord Stanley At Ottawa
