Sunday-school room ct the rear was torn down
In order to remove all the bodies

tracks the northeast corner Of Fulton and Sands
SITS which the company purchased and occupied
when the Bridge was opened in $685. This never
proved entirely satisfactory on account OF the
difficulty in swSAsing TO and from Fulton-st., and
with the Bridge platform south OF Sands-st., the
new situation will be far more satisfactory. It
is expected that loop viii be constructed 50
that cars can enter the stand from Sands-st., and
pass out by High-st Over the tracks which viii
occupy the site of the church it is proposed to
erect substantial Office building four or five
stories in height and supported on pillars but the
noise Of the Bridge trains will probably interfere
with this scheme. With the open space under the
new Bridge platform, the widening OF Washing
ton-st and the removal of the switches at Full
ton nnd Sands SITS, the approach to the Bridge
viii be for less INSTRUCTED for vehicles and pedes-
trlars than at present, and all car passengers
will be on the south side OF Sands-st. While
the terminal arrangements as at present projected
are regarded permanent. yet 1t is probable that
the Bridge Railroad will be extended 20 the City
Hall plaza in time, in order properly TO accommo-
date all the travel from various parts OF the city.

.GAIysr THE oBURcH CONSTELLATION.

Judge Bartlett in the Supreme Court yesterday,
handed down an opinion against the proposed con-
soliaton Of the Washington Street Methodist Episcopal
Church with the York Street and Johnson Street
churches which the trustees Of the first named favor
but tho majority OF the congregation oppose. In his
opinion he said in part:
AT tho conclusion of the hearing in this matter,
7 Expressed the opinion which stlll entertain, that
II the proposed consolidation were favored by fair
majority of each congregation interested In the ap-
pIication the union Of these thrcs churches would
probaby prove beneficial TO their bes interests and
those Of the denomination to which they belong But
the law docs not contemplate forced union, and
tho question arises whether consolidation would not
DO forcbIe rather than voluntary as to one OF the
congregations concerned, where nearly two thirds Of
the members OF that congregation oppose the union
ar think there can be but answer to this question
Assuming (although Is not necessary now to decided
that tho statutory agreement for consolidation may
be made by the trustees Of each corporation without
any notion by tho church members themselves, u
seems TO me that the Supreme Court should withhold
liz approval OF tho agreement when II appears that

cbnreb with the two other religious societies.. The
statute provides that upon the presentation Of petitions

A Horrible Deed.

PITrsBURa, Penn, April ed. Dietz,
laborer, who resides with his family OF
Craig street below Center avenue, last
night killed one of his children, a little
girl years old, and then cut his own
throat. The deed was the outcome of q
quarrel between Dietz and his wife.
The cause of the tragedy was the re-
fusal of Mrs. Dietz to send for her eldest
daughter, Lena, who was livingEout as q
domestic. Dietz wanted his wife to live
out and the daughter to take her place
After driving Mrs. Dietz and all the chill
dren but the baby from the house Dletz
sent message to Lena thatif she was not
home in an hour he would kill every
one, of the family. She did not obey him
and the refusal of the others to return
probably alone prevented the monster
from putting his threat into execution.
The bodies we're taken to the morRue
this afternoon and an inquest will be held
tomorrow. The mother and daughter sav
they want nothing to do with the murder
er's body, but asked that the remains of
the baby be sent back to them.

A Sailed Mine and the sequel-The Bar
bour Case.
Special Telegram to the Statesman
BURNET, April 4.-One of the cases to
be tried this court lis that of the state
VS.. Chas. Dignowity, of San Antonio,
growing out of the alleged discovery of
gold mine in this county by A. Fitzgerald
Mr.. Dignowity agreed to furnish the capt.
tel to work the mine, but afterward
claimed it had been sailed, and he had been
swindled. He got an indictment against
Fitzgerald at San Antonio, where the
contract was made, and that
case, after two or three mistrials,
still stands for another hearing. Fitz-
gerald claims that Dgnowity had changed
the contract in such way as to amount
to fogery, and to this grave charge Mr..
Dignowity now comes to answer. The
whole affair of the mine seems to be badly
mixed, and so far as known now there Is
| nothing in it, at least nothing in the way
of paying mineral.
Ex-County Judge j. 4. Crews, after an
examination In open court, was e"oru III
to-day as licensed lawyer.
The track on the railroad extension is
now laid to within four miles of Marble
Falls and will soon he closed up. The
denizens of the Cataract City are looking
forward to a boom in business and town
property with the completion of the road,
and the prospect is they will have one.
Bot little has been done to-day in the
district court, but the appearance docket,
which is larger than usual, will occupy to-
morrow, and the rest of the term will be
crowded with business.
the case of the State against Joe Bar
bour, who is now on bail, will probably be
the longest and most interesting of the
present term.
Mr.. John Estell, telegraph operator
here, has been called to Austin, and his
place is filled by Mr.. Potts.

RAILWAY COLLISION.

Two Freight Trains Come Together With
Terrible and Destructive Results.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, April A terrible
collision of two freight trains occurred this
morning at Browns CROSS roads on the
Nashville and Decatur division of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad two or
three miles south of the CITY. M. L. Eby,
brakeman on the southbound train, and
Earnest @. Green, brakeman on the north
bound train, we're instantly killed. AL
bert Finch, fireman on the Dorthbound
train, was injured in the back, but will
probably recover. The trains at
the time of the accident were
running at from fifteen to
twenty miles per hour, and it seems each
was not sighted by the other until it was
too late to stop.
Robert Moran, engineer of the south
bound train, and James T. Oakley, engi-
neer of the northbound train, both jumped
before the engines struck, and escaped
without any serious injury. Both the con-
ductors, W. p. Martin and @. L. Elken-
heimer, were on their respective cabooses
aud neither were hurt. The engines came
together with awful force aud we're totally
demolished. There were sixteen cars on
the southboand train, of which seven were
completely wrecked, and twenty three cars
on the northbound train, of which nine
were destroyed.
The remains of Eby were found under q
car loaded with furniture. His skull was
fractured in two places. He lived in
Nashville, and leaves wife and child.
Green was foand under an overturned car
load of hogs. His right leg was broken
in two places This nose broken and face
disfigured. 1t it supposed death resulted
from internal injuries. He was single
man and liued in Columbia, Tenn. Albert
Finch was found on the top of load of
coal. His back was severely hurt.
The reporter visited the scene of the
wreck, which is in beautiful wheat field.
The two engines formed an immense heap
of metal some 20 feet high. Into the
boiler of the northbound engine pile OF
lumber from the two cars behind had been
driven. The violence of the collision was
evident from the absolute havoc wrought
not only at the meeting point, but for q
long distance on both sides. In ALL six
teen cars were total wreck, some lying
upon the track, and others turned over
near it. The cause of the wreck seems to
have been misunderstanding of orders

Alfalfa for Hogs.
rom the Texas Farm and Ranch.

From the Texas Farm and Ranch.
According to promise I will say this in
regard to alfalfa: Three years ago sowed
half an acre on the goth of February; the
land had beer broken twice, and was in
fine condition. / selected misty or
showery day for sowing, thinking the light
rain would force the seed deep enough
into the fine soil, and was not disap-
pointed, for in the Rcourse of week l
had beautiful stand. l cut the first crop
of hay from the same in May, about three
months from the time it was sowed. l out
again, think in July. The next season
being very dry cut only once; the land
had cracked open terribly and l was fear
full of losing stand; good deal went to
seed and the fall rains brought up new
crop, which made it very thick on
the land. The next winter put on seven
head of hogs, and was gratified to find
that they did better on the alfalfa with
one-thlrd the corn 1 had been feeding.
The hogs kept in better condition and
grew faster than any in the neighborhood.
Not having rings, l cut their rooters.
Rings consider much the best to prevent
them from roofing.
1 am satisfied that with one or two
acres of alfalfa, a small allowance of corn,
and water convenient, that any farmer in
Texas can raise his meat as cheaply as it
is done in other states. Each proprietor
of farm should raise meat sufficient for
his own and for the families of his tenants,
thereby keeping at home thousands of
dollars each year.
The alfalfa grows all warm weather in
winter; if bitten down by frost few warm
days will start it to growing again. l
think the best plan, however, is to have a
small patch of wheat sown in September
or October for winter pasturage. The
Nicaragua, think is the best variety, as
it will make more growth in a given time
than any other, and is as hardy as rye or
barley.

OLD SHOES.

How much man is like old shoes;
For instance: both soul may lose:
Both have been tanned, both made tight
By Cobblers, both get left and right.
Both need mate to be complete,
Both are made to 90 on feet.
They both need healing, Oft are sold,
And both in time turn all to mould.
With shoes the last is flrst-with men
The first shall be the last, and when
The shoes wear out they're mended new;
When men wear out they're men dead too.
They both are trod upon and both
Will trod on others, nothing losth.
Both have their ties and both incline
When polished, In the world TO shine.
And both peg out-and would you choose
To be man or be his shoes?
