Preliminary Trial.

Special to the Statesman.
TExARKANA, Ark, May 1S.-William
Teel, the negro who killed Butler here yes
terday, as reported, had his preliminary
trial before Justice Cannon and admitted
to bail in the sum of $500 which he has
not given. The evidence before the ex-
aiming court showed it to be free fight
by mutual consent. Teel was cut severely
but not dangerously in more than half a
dozen places. His lip has been cut en-
tirely open and interferes seriously with
his calling, which is said to be exhorting
at revival meetings.

"Ioplc Is Logic"

Now there was the case Of our friend Mckay;
He said to himself, in his resolute way,
That a cough which was growing from bad to
worse
Must be cured In spite of slender purse.
An ocean voyage was out of the question,
A Florida trip q useless suggestion;
Yet die he wouldn't! His money he paid
For the Golden Medical Discovery" by DR.. Pierce
made;
And as sound az q nut is his health to-day
"Logic is logic, that's all cay.
"Golden Medical Discovery" is the only
medicine for the disease it is recon-
mended to cure, sold by druggists, under
positive guarantee from the manufac-
turers that if it don't either benefit or
cure in every case, the money paid for it
will be promptly refunded.

THE UNITED STATES ENGINEERS.
What They Think Concerning the Deep

What They Think Concerning the Deep
Water Problem on Our Coast.
Special to the Statesman.
SAN ANTONIO, May 1S.-The United
States engineers inspecting the Texas
coast left this morning for Austin. They
expressed themselves as deeply impressed
with the wealth and natural resources of
Texas, and all are of the opinion that the
ports of this state should be speedily
opened. They are decidedly of the opin-
ion that Arkansas Pass promises great nat
ural advantages. and think the PROPOSE
tiQn of private parties to do the
work, and then be reimbursed by con
gress most fair and one which should be
accepted. Their tug put into the mouth
of the Brazos, and the work there was ex.
amined. As to its success, they entertain
no doubt, and confidently believe that
private capital will more speedily solve the
deep water problem than will congressional
acion or government appropriation.
These gentlemen are most affable, very
cordial, have keen eye and observe &C.
curately and are not giving or taking any
taffy. They will report upon the whole
Gulf coast and the country with its prod
ucts and trade lying tribunal hereto, and
their recommendations will not be preju-
diced by any local jealousies.

Collector Enhart made inquiries into the
case. The immigrants said they came
here at the instigation of the
Prisoners Aid society, of London,
with the understanding that they were to
put their services at the disposal of Samn
Nell, a so-oalled emigrant agent at Seguin,
Tex. The Castle Garden authorities say
they have evidence to prove that the Pris-
oners' Aid society, of London, has been
shipping English oonvicts to Nell in
Texas at the rate of one or two a week for
many months.

Coshocton, N. Y.
MIDDLETowN, N. Y. May 1S.-A remark
able case in connection with the post
office at Coshocton, Sullivan county, ha1
been unearthed. Henry Winters was
postmaster and in March last, soon after
Postmaster Wanardaker assumed his du-
ties, Henry Inderlied was appointed to
supersede Winters. The usual blank bond
was mailed from Washington to Mr.. In
derlied to Coshocton, but never reached
the postofice departments. Correspond
ence from Congressman Stevens, of this
city, also failed to reach Mr.. Inderled.
There was suspicion that Winters was
suppressing letters from Washington
aud Congressman Stevens, also those
sent by the new eppointee. 1t was on
by the use of plain envelopes addressed in
disguised hand to the other parties that
Mr.. Inde,lied could obtain any informa-
ton and his bond was mailed at another
postoffice some miles from Coshocton.
His commission as postmaster was
mdlleu lrOm washington On tue opu insu',
but he did not receive it until yesterday.
Special Agent Stewart,of the inspectors
department, appeared on the scene and
Winters soon wilted. In the latter's pockets
we're found Mr.. Inderlied's commissions
and letter from Con gresham Stevens and
the postoffice department, all addressed to
Inderlied. The inspector took charge OF
the pocket mail. Mr.. Inderlied was put in
charge of the Office at once, and Winters
taken to New York by the inspector last
