HOUSTON, TEX. Sept. 1.-THE city is
being systematically worked by gang of
crooks and burglars. There are but ten

a veritable picnic. Last night the resi-
dences of Col. Crank and Judge Hobby
were entered, and watches and jewelrY
to the amount of 5000 stolen. Other res
ldences were also robbed, but the matter
is being kept quiet with a view of catch

SHE SACRIFICED HER LIFE.
Heroic Deed of Young German
Girl at Lake MohOnk.

Noticeable among the many summer
guests who were Willing away the
bright July days at Lake Mohonk house
recently was bright little chap, whose
shadow was a pretty German maid
named Ottaly Lange. The boy and his
attendant never seemed to tire of ram
bling about the lake and surrounding
country.
Last Friday afternoon the youngster
Slipped away from Ottaly'S side, and
mounting a rock near the edge of Lake
Mohonk, dared the faithful maid to
catch him. a party from the hotel who
were rowing at a distant point on the
lake heard the girl beg her charge to
''come down, 'and just as he turned,
seeming to obey her, the little fellows
foot slipped and over he went into the
water, a distant of twenty-five feet be-
low. Quick as flash the girl leaped in
after him. She caught the child and
the two struggled frantically for life.
To the party in the boat who were bur-
rying to render assistance it was appar-
ent that the woman was growing weak
er and weaker, but she never for a mo-
ment released her hold of the boy,
whom she held firmly above water

she was seen to throw out her arms to-
ward the approaching boat. thereby
pushing the boy toward strong arms
that were held out to save. The child
was rescued, bnt all efforts to save the
brave heroine VINO had so nobly given
her life to save that of the child in
trusted to her care prove unavalling.
Several hours after the accident the
body of the young girl was taken out of
water. Coroner HasbrOuck, of the
village, summoned a jury. A verdict of
accidental drowning was rendered.

great deal of work before him in the
preparation of his first message. He
expected before this time to have had
chance to do some of this work, but
at Deer Park and Bar Harbor alike, the
public have demanded his time. He
proposes on his return from Indianapo-

sort, but to retire to his cottage at Deer

RICHMOND, Tex, Aug. 17.-Since the

things have been supremely0 quiet.
1t is the lull after the storm and
has lasted a whole day and night. The
county officials. who were among the
"Woodpeckers," retreated to the court
house. carrying their wounded. and
still occupy it, supported by the Hous-
ton Light Guard. who arrived here this
morning, twenty-five strong. The
wounded in the court house are Judge

badly through the shoulder. One ball

Carney and ex-Sheriff Blakeley are still
being held, there being no proper
officer here to hold an inquest. The
presence of the military viii preserve
the peace, but the "jaybirds" are in
possession of the streets. and no war

night with four bullet wounds. is

months ago and shot in the back with

the tanning of one of his arms. The
'jaybirds" are undoubtedly prepared
for trouble at any moment, while the
opposition has materially weak
entd by the loss of two of
their leaders. There is a panic
among the people here chiefly
the negroes. and nearly 100 have left by
rail to-day, never to return. It has
frightened them badly. Volney John

UNCLE SAM IN ERROR.
Federal Courts Have No Business
to MeddIe in the Maggie Case.


SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. .17.-Deputy
Marshal Nagle, who shot Judge Terry
last Wednesday. and who was brought
to this city this morning from Stockton
Jail, on a writ of habeas corpus
granted by Judge Sawyer, was present
in the circuit court room this noon.
When court was opened Attorney
Mcguire introduced District Attorney
White, of San joaquin county, and
said they appeared conformity to oppose
the release of Nagle by the federal au
thOrities. The attorney. after reading
the papers connected with the proceed
ingS, entered a general protest to the
order of court, claiming that it was be-
yOnd the jurisdiction Of the federal
courts to take from the custody Of a
state official person who had been ar
rested for the commission of
crime within the states juriSdc-
ton and against the states laws.
IF the court please said Attorney Ma
guire. I'VE desire formally 10 protest against
any requirements of this court to the sheriff
of san Joaquin county. to bring a person
held under state authority to this court on
writ of habeas corpus. The prisoner has.
however, been brought into court out OF
Difference 10 the court by the sheriff, and the
The attorney then read the written re-
turn, aud added:
I'VE shall take the position on behalf Of
the people of the state of California that Mr..
Nagle is in the custody of the state authori-
lies, and that the federal courts have no
jurisdiction to take prisoner from the GUS
tody of state officials. That objection gives
rise to a very important question which we
are not at present prepared to argue"
Judge Sawyer said: 1T does not present
very important question. The claim on the
part of the prisoner is that the acts COM
pIained of were committed insperformance
of duty under the laws of the United States,
and by reason of that he has been brought
within the jurisdiction of this court. We
recognize the necessity of your being thor
oughly prepared for argument, and probably
for ascertaining the facts. 1t might perhaps
be as well to POSTPONE the matter for week,
to give counsel an opportunity to decide
what is the proper course TO pursue"
The hearing was then adjourned until
next Thursday. Nagle, under the Gus
tody of a United States marshal, was

written some brief but breezy letters
from along the route of his travels. He
is an interesting writer as well as
speaker, and some OF his letters, al
though principally of business nature,
contain many characteristic sketches.
They were written to j. D. O'COnnor,
Mr.. Cox's private secretary, now in
