Serious Accident.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.

RooKwA1I, May 26.-This afternoon,
while several men were engaged in right
ing and repairing I. @. Nesbit's house,
which was so much distorted by the late
storm, the roof of the front gallery of the
building fell, striking T. G. Nesbit, Ryan
and Lane. Nesbit is quite seriously if not
fatally injured, suffering from internal
bruises. Ryan's injuries, while extremely
painful, are not SO dangerous as Nesbit's.
Lane escaped with no further damage
than badly bruised ankle. 1t seems a
miracle they were not all killed outright

The Kegans Trial.

Special Telegram TO the Statesman.
GALVESTON, May 26.-Unusual interest
has conferred in the trial of Ben f. Kegans
for the killing of John MelliDger at Hous-
ton several months ago. After an excit-
ing trial the case went to the jury at 8
O'Clock last evening. The crowds waited
about the court house until past midnight
in hopes the jury would return an early
verdict. The jury remained out all night
and not until MONDAY did they reach
verdict. The court room was crowded to
suffocation, when the jury filed in and
rendered verdict mot guilty" Keagans
was congratulated on all sides. The YER
dict, however, is the topic of general con-
versation, and the jury comes in for con-
siderable criticism.
