HELD TO $1,000 BAIL.
Keller and Weathersby, Who Killed Pope,
In Bond.

L in Bond.
MARSHALL, II }, December 23.-S. F.
Perry, the magistrate before whom the dy-
ing declaration of A. Pope was made, certi-
fed that the written statement as presented
to the court was correct. The statement is
that Judge Keller shot him all for nothing
and that he made the statement in full
consciousness of his approaching death.
The written commission issued by Mayor
Carter, comforting special police empowers
G. r. Weathersby, was introduced in evil
dence and after considerable discussion by
counsel was admitted. This closed the evil
dence.
H. @. Fisher, one of the attorneys for
Keller and Weathersby, left for San Angelo
last night in consequence of sickness in his
family, leaving Scott alone to represent the
defendants.
Graham, DeGraffenried, Wilson and
Lane made lengthy speeches in behalf of
the State. Scott was brief and pointed in
his argument for the defense.
A few moments after argument was con-
cluded the judge announced his decision,
holding them (the defendants)in the sum OF
5000 each. The prisoners were taken
back to jail. The required bail-wlll be
given tomorrow. Thus ends, for the time
at least, one of the most deplorable events
that ever happened in this county.

Texas praying

Of Texas praying the court
that an injunction and restraining
order be issued prohibiting the confirma-
ton of the decree of sale Of said Houston
the transfer of the said railway and its
properties to the purchasing committee
and its transfer to the parties represented
by said committee in its purchase.
|. The complainants allege that the stock
held and owned bythem aggregates $5,000.-
600; that the total mortgage debt ofsaid road
is $l6,S2S COO; that the financial affairs of
the said company were mismanaged, that
collusion and fraud were resorted to by the
defendants in the settlement of its financial
affairs; that these holdings were not con-
suited, but were ignored. They further al
lege that the decree of sale under which
the railroad and its properties were sold in
September, 1888, for $l0,5S0,000 Is
absolutely invalid and beyond the
power of the court to grant;
that there was no foundation for the de-
cree of sale or jurisdiction in the court to
award it, and that the decree was entered
by consent and agreement and without
any investigation or adjudication by the
court, but was.the result of an agreement
simply and was procured by fraud and col
lusion, and scheme on the part of the de-
PENDANTS to acquire possession OF the road
in the interest of Huntington and the South
ern Pacific company without regard to the
rights or interest oft stock of the Hous-
son and Texas Central railway company,
and in direct disregard of the terms of the
mortgages, that the suit is brought by the
complainants in their own behalf and for
the benefit of the stockholders of the Hous-
ton and Texas Central Railway company
similarly situated. United States Court
Judge Pardu gave notice that he would
hear arguments on the case in New Orleans

BELGIUM.

BRussELs, December 2S.-1he fght be-
tween Jem Smith, Of England and Frank
Slavin,. the Australian champion, was
fought this morning in private grounds
situated three miles from Bruzes, There
was much squabbling from the outset, and
owing TO the outrageous conduct Of Smiths
party at the conclusion Of the fourteenth
round the referee declared the fight draw
and refused to remain on the grounds.
Smiths party evidently saw their man
would be beaten and they broke into the
ring and interfered with the fair progress Of
the fight.
Further particulars OF the fight show
that Slavin forced the fighting at the start,
hitting Smith several times on the chest
and head in the first and second rounds.
The men fell together and when Slayin rose
he was bleeding from the mouth. In the
third round Smith got home with his right
and in turn was knocked down by Savin.
The fourth round was marked by hard
| fighting
In the sixth round Slavin landed
terrific blow ON one of Smiths eyes.
| In the seventh Smith fought Slavin to the
ropes, where q crowd of Smiths friends
kicked Slavin who, however, returned
silent. SIavin again knocked Smith down
in the eighth round.
In the ninth the mob surrounding the
ring struck Slavin several times.
In the eleventh round Slayin again
knocked his opponent down. Smiths
| friends again struck Slayin during the
thirteenth round, but their man was once
more knocked down. In the fourteenth
Slavin protested against the treatment he
was receiving and appealed to the referee
for fair play. His appeal was greeted witt
derision by Smiths friends, who shouted
Police and bolted from the grounds.
Slavin remained IN the ring and Smit
turned.
The referee then said it was impossible D
secure fair treatment for Slavin and dc
clared the fight a draw. Slavin was full I

With Applications for Financial Aid from
All Sorts Of People.
New YORK, December 2l.-A solicitor for
aid in behalf of the women's hospital, of
this city, called upon ex-President Cleve-
land today, and informed him that the use
of his name as contributor to the support
of the hospital would be an excellent help
to the institution, no matter how small
might be the amount of his donation, as
his name would encourage others to sub
scribe.
Mr.. Cleveland said all other applicants
made the same argument. He said he
would like to assist all worthy institutions,
but his finances would not allow him to do
so, but he would consult Mrs. Cleveland
about this particular request, then he ad-
ded significantly: THE truth of the mat
ter is that the demands which are con-
stantly made upon me for aid are so nu-
merous and come from so many different
quarters have about made up my mind
to leave New York in order to get away
from these requests"
