Matters at Kyle.

Special Telegram to the Statesman
KYLE, March 16.-In the district court
at San Marcos to. day the jury in the Dan
forth case brought in verdict of guilty,
and gave Dantorth two years in the peni-
Tertiary. He was charged with appro-
priating about 5000 of the funds of the
Pacific Express company while he was
agent for the company at that place about
two years ago. His attorneys immedi
ately made motion for new trial on ac-
count of an error in the charge to the jury
of Judge Teichmuller, which was granted.
This closes the two weeks term of the
court and the entire three weeks term
will be needed, as the contest in the
sheriffalty will consume next week. All
the great suits against the international
and Great Northern railway were con-
tinuej until the next term.
Prof. j. 7. Ryle, principal of the Kyle
seminary, is in Austin on business.

TEXAS ITEMS.
Death of a Prominent Hebrew
Sensational Runaway and a
Horse Killed.
One Editor Gets Damages OF
ENTHUSIASTICALLY Shot.
Meeting of Freight Agents.

DALLAS, March 16.-Mr. Josedh Lohen-
stem, a well known Hebrew citizen of Dali
las, was found dead in his bed this morn
ing by some carpenters who went to his
room to get instructions regarding work
on a new residence he was building. 1t is
not known in what manner or at what time
he died, as he retired to his room last eve
in his usual health. He was to have been
married on the 31st inst
to Miss Jennie Yeidel, of
Denison, a sister of his first wife. Mr..
Lohenstein was a well known citizen OF
Dallas, he having been here when the city
laid off her village dress. He was born at
Bergen, Germany, and was in his 45th
year. He has been in delicate health for
the past two years, suffering from loco
motor ataxia, which, it is supposed,
finally reaching the brain, was the cause
of bis sudden death, His funeral will take
place at 10 O'Clock tomorrow. The SER
vices will be under the charge OF
the members of Ahnvoth Sholom lodge
No. "a, ]. o. B. B, of which he was a
member in good standing.
After many years of waiting the people
of Dallas have the pleasure of going for
their mail in $4,000 building that cost

The new apartments are rather
small but they are we'll fitted
up. Postmaster Cochran will
have the pleasure of warming a hand
some and a soft lounge before his sue
cessor is nominated.
Runaways are 80 common in Dallas
that they have long since ceased to be
news items, but this morning an extraor-
binary case of this nature presented itself
on Main street. The police patrol wagon
drawn by two splendid animals, was the
outfit that furnished the fun. The team
was hitched in front of the temporary
city hall on Commerce street. The
horses became frightened, broke away
from their moorings, and went down
Commerce at a healthy gait until they
came to Austin street. Here they turned
the corner aud entered Main. By this
time they were going at full speed, and
furiously swept through the thoroughfare
which was lined with buggies. The bug
gies were mown down like grass; a saddle
horse was killed, and the runaways were
not checked until $1,000 damage had been
done.

Prominent Cases in Court-A Libel Suit
Against a Newspaper.

Prominent Cases in Court-A Libel Suit
Against Newspaper.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
TExARKANA, Ark, March 16.-District
court was in session last night until late
hour and several important cases were de-
cided. Among them was the adjudication
of the receivership of VIM. Behan in the
case of A. Blacks establishment. VIM.
Behan was discharged and the effects of
the defunct concern were decided to be
distributed among the parties concerned.
The great libel case, which has been on the
docket of this court for seven years, came
up for trial to-day and has been holly
contested The main features in the
suit in brief are as follows: Louis
A. Petit, now editor and proprietor
of the DeKalh, Tex, Flag, instituted suit
against the Farmers Review Publishing
company, of Bonham, on occount of an
article published in the Review some years
ago derogatory to the plaintiffs honesty
and integrity. Petit laid his damages at
100000, and at the last term of our court
he obtained judgment for $4,000, and
defendants obtained a new trial,
The best talent of the bar is
retained, and both sides are well
fortified with lawyers and witnesses By
agreement, the argument was continued
until a late hour, and Judge Shepard,
without leaving the bench, gave the YER
dict for $4,000. The defendants, it is
said, are amply able to pay the damages
assessed them. 1t is thought here that
the case will not be appealed.
Jay Gould's party stopped over few
hours in this city to-day en- route west.

A TRAVELLING HUMBUG.

A Man With Bogus Letters of Recon-
mendation With Bogus Medicine.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
OMAHA, Tex, March 16.-Yesterday
man by the name of Louis, claiming to be
an agent for the Hot Springs Medicine
com pany, located at Little Rock, Ark,
made his appearance in our town and by
the aid of costly premiums, smooth talk
and letter of recommendation purport-
ing to have been given by the Smith
Drug company, of Texarkana, succeeded
in quilting the firm of Cameron d Person,
druggists, to the tune of $40 and un-
doubtedly should have made good his
escape had it not been for Robert
Burnett, whom he had sold also. Mr.. Bur-
nett, it seems, had his suspicious aroused,
and by the liberal use of the telegraph
found not only that his accommodation
from the Smith Drug company was bogus,
but that there was no such company as
the Hot Springs Medicine company at
Little Rock, and that the medicine was
simply salt water with colorine and sea-
soned with cinnamon to suit
the taste. Mr.. Burnett followed
on midnight train and after
consulting with Messrs. Cameron d
Person called in Constable Curley and
woke the gentleman up, who, after looking
over the matter, concluded to disgorge,
when he was allowed to depart in peace.
Messrs. Cameron g. Person are highly
elated at getting their money back, and
say it will be very chilly day when they
are caught again by the same kind of bait.

pot by delegation of citizens who took
them around the city in carriages showing
the wonderful development and varied in
dustries of Waco, and finally the great
artesian well, and the party was perfectly
amazed to see the quantity of pure water,
which continually gushes out at the rate
of 100000 gallons per diem. Manager
Frey made many inquiries touching on
the surrounding country wealth of the
county, ETC., but declined to give spy
pointers as to the plans of the receivers.
The close and constant attention which
Waco is receiving from the receiver leads
to the supposition that some important
move is TO be made here at an early date

PITTsBURG, March 16.-Mr. H. j. Brown
is night watchman at the Pittsburg Sewer
Pipe works, situated in lonely place on
Blockhouse run, about one mile back of
New Brighton, Pa. About o'clock this
morning, having just finished his round
of inspection, he sat down in the engine
room and read paper, when he was sur
prised blythe entrance of four me sked mt n
carrying revolvers, who ordered him to
throw up his hands and keep his mouth
closed. He attempted to argue with them,
but was told to shut up or be shot. His
hands and feet were tied. He was bound
to chair, handkerchief placed over his
eyes and one man left to guard him while
the other three drilled the safe. They
worked for over an hour, when they blew
it open, wrecking it completely.
They then began to open the safe and
soon secured 800 and other valua-
bles. They had Mr.. Brown to regulate
the steam to avoid accident. After
thr sstening to kill him if he should ever
reveal anything he might have learned as
to their identity the robbers made their
exit. Mr.. Brown had a watch with him
which was not taken. When they left he
freed himself and gave the alarm. No
clue to the robbers has yet been found.
