A Section Boss Slashes Section Hand in
the Abdomen.
Specia, Telegram TO the Statesman.
Houston, September 22.-News has
reached the city from the line of the Texas
Western Narrow Gauge railroad of a
bloody affair that occurred about forty
miles from here, in which two section
hands and section boss, Tom Hall, took
an active part. 1t seems that row was
imminent between the two section hands,
and, when one of them struck the other
with spike hammer, Section Boss Tom
Hall rushed in to stop the difficulty. He
was turned upon, and had he not used a
long -bladed knife, would have been badly
done up. AS it was, he drew the knife and
with long swipe cut his assailant acrots
the abdomen, letting out his bowels, but
not cutting them. The injured man was
taken in hand and his wound stitched up.
He will probably recover. Hall has not
been arrested, but officers are endeavor-
ing to effect his capture, The man who
was struck with the hammer was not dan
gerously wounded.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC.

Viii 1t Move Its General Offices Back
Into Texas.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
Houston, September 2l.-There has
been considerable talk in this city of late
about petitioning the attorney -generel to
compel the removal of the general offices
of the Southern Pacific back to this city.
Judge Goldthwaite was interviewed on
the subject to-day. As is now generally
known the purpose of the meeting was to
take stops to induce the authorities of the
International and Great Northern Railway
company to remove their general offices
to this city in case they were
removed from Palestine, which it was
understood was contemplated. After
some desultory talk the reporter referred
to the report that the Southern Pacific
authorities were talking about removing
the general Office of the Houston and
Texas Central railway to New Orleans.
This remark drew the judge out, and he
said there was no danger of that being
done as long as Hogg ives attorney
general of the state, because
he would see that the state
had her rights. He further stated that
he felt sure General Hogg would have the
general offices of the Southern Pacific
company brought back into the state, be-
cause that was one of the conditions upon
which land grants were made by the state
to that company. He did not know that
any steps had been taken in that
direction up to date, but he
felt confident that Attorney-gen-
eral Hogg would have them back
here before his term of office was over. He
continued by saying that persuasion
needed not to be brought into service and
would likely not be, hut the matter would
be demanded and the railroad would have
to comply. The state would, he said,
command an obedience and nothing more.
1t should be remembered in this connec-
ton that Judge Goldthwaite is
not young lawyer, but one of
the oldest and best in the state. AS a
corporation lawyer he stands at the head
of the bar of Texas, thirty years of his
professional life having been spent in cor
poration litigation. He had been nearly
that long with the Houston and Texas
Central road and was their leading attor-
ney most of the time.

THE BEAN CASE.

Romantic Story of Saunders, Alleged
Brother of Tom Bean
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
BoNHAM, Tex, September 21.-Interest
in the case of the Bean estate claimants
reached its highest point to-day when j..
W. Saunders, of Mississippi, the alleged
brother of the dead millionaire, Tom
Bean, took the stand. His story was that
Thomas Bean was his own brother. They
were born in Pottsylvania county, Vir-
ginia. From Virginia they went to Ten
nessee. The witness followed boating on
the Mississippi and Tennessee rivers
While engaged in the boating business
some one told him the murder committed
by his brother Thomas. Soon after he
learned of the occurrence servant of his
brothers, a negro named Alec, rowed
Thomas out on Island No. 10, in the
Mississippi, and came TO witness, telling
him where he could be found. The wit
ness then went to the island and, putting
Tom in a skiff, rowed him to Goierie
Landing, Ark. From there Thomas went
to Camden, Ark, and finally arrived at
Bonham with his name changed to Bean.
The witness received many letters from
his brother Thomas, all of which were
destroyed. He hal visited Bean at Bon
ham, and met him at various other places
in the state. The details of the old mans
story were highly romantic. Saunders has
passed his seventy-sixth year, and is, in
fact, lettering upon the brink of the

THE SCARE AT DALLAS.

A Rigid Quarantine to be Enforced
Against Infected Districts.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
DALLAS, September 22.-The yellow
fever scare has reached Dallas with both
feet, and it is expected that in a few days
a rigid quarantine will be enforced against
towns in infected districts. The mayor
received dispatch from Shreveport last
night to the effect that all rail and river
communication southeast and north had
been stopped, and that 800 guards had
been placed around the CITY. The mayor
of Denison wired this morning: Same
strict uarantine here as at all entry ports
in the state. Can suggest nothing better
than requiring health certificate from
starting point. DIR. Carter, health officer,
says that no one will be admitted in Dallas
without a health certificate from the
starting point. He has instructed the
authorities at Denison to detain any one
bound for Dallas who has no health GER
tifcate. If they have certificates and
have not been in the infected districts
they can come, but not otherwise. The
condition of the town causes great uneasi
ness, as it is thought that should the fever
strike here it would reap harvest of
victims. The city authorities are watch
ing the progress of the disease closely,
and are ready to act upon any moments
notica.

Special Telegram to the Statesman.
WACO, September 21.-Col. E. A. Jones,
the independent candidate for congress in
this district against the Hon. R. Q. Mills
addressed large crowd at the district
court room tonight. Colonel Jones
stated his reasons for becoming candi-
date against ths Navarro statesman. He
opposed the Mills bill, and discussed it to
a considerable extent. Colonel Jones
also discussed the tariff issue, and stated
that the welfare of the country de-
manded a reduction. His idea was to
make it, but to make it evenly along she
entire list He made quite an eulogy on
Senator Coke, saying that he ought to be
his own successor and in his opinion
would be, despite every effort to accom-
plish his defeat. Colonel JoLes said that
to night he was speaking in Texas and on
southern soil, and probably some day
parts of what he said tonight might be
quoted at Providence, R. l., but that he
yould reiterate there what he said to-
night if it ever was his fortune or mis-
fortune to be in that city. This speech
was highly appreciated by the audienc .
and received numerous cheers and loud
appliances.

THE BEAN CASE.

Further Proceedings in the Famous
millionaire Probate Case at Bonham.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
BoNHAM, September 22.-The Bean trial
was resumed this morning. Some photo
graphic signatures which we're ruled out
at the beginning of the trial were sd-
mitted as evidence. These signatures are
of vital Importance to Towards side of
the case, as they establish the identity of
Colonel Bean from Washington, D. @.
through Heathville, Va, Palmyra, Mo.
Fayetteville, Ark, to Bonham, Tex.
Several witnesses were on the stand to-
day. Sukey Byers, the negro servant who
cooked for Thomas Bean during the last
fifteen years of his life, testified that she
never saw Saunders until after Bean died.
She always waited on the table and was
positive that Saunders was never at Tom
Beans house. Saunders yesterday swore
that when he visited his alleged brother at
Bonham he saw this same Sukey Byers
and identified her in court by a crippled
hand.
DR.. j. Obern, of Tyler, Tex, stated that
in 1S45 he was in the district clerks Office
at Bonham and Bean was then clerk. While
Bean was sick, he says, Bean asked him
what he would do if man should call
him pale-faced puppy. II said did not
know. Bean said: "A man called me that
once, and killed him with a stick, but
did not intend to kill him."
Court adjourned until Monday. The
case will likely go to the jury Monday
evening. 1t is thought by many that the
San Antonio claimant has made stronger
case than he had in the county court when
he was granted letters of administration.
