Special to the Statesman.
GEORGETOWN, July 19.-"Our Country,
Our Homes, Our Duty" was the aspiring
theme of Col Bain's IL o'clock lecture. 1t
was a strong and eloquent appeal in be-
half of temperance. The principles of this
virtue, he urges, should be taught in the
home. A palatial mansion on the avenue
does not necessarily constitute the ideal
home, nor yet "the little old log cabin in
the lane" but a comfortable country resi-
deuce, where the parental scepter is wisely
welded, where the children are recognized
citizens, guided and restrained by love and
wisdom. The strength and character of a
nation is in its homes, and here patriotism
also should be taught by precept and ex'
ample. "Such homes" says the speaker
"are the walls of America, and every
child a brick" Sweet and touching

one characteristic seldom found in tenn.
perance lectures, that is, he uttered no sen.
tence or word in his entire lecture that
could give offense to any class. His object
was to elevate sentiment, rather than Ia
provoke laughter. Young men were
warned in terms so lesrnest, tender and
conscientious that impressions for eternity
must have been left upon their hearts.
Col. Bsin's manner is pleasant and grace
full, his voice clear and magnetic, his
language we'll chosen and beautiful, his
thoughts original and pure. The soul of
the speaker is in his work.

form of a young woman leaping from d
second story window at 713 Pine street,
right in the business section of the city,
created great sensation shortly after 8
O'Clock this evening. When the first shot

gather, and when the woman jumped
from the window the streets we're filled
with excited people. The woman was
picked up and carried into drug store
across the street, where it was found that
she was shot through the muscle of the
right arm, but otherwise uninj ured, save
being badly shaken up by contact with
the pavement in her fall. Before police
man could elbow his way through the crowd
the would-be murderer appeared at
the open window with the smoking re-
volver in his hand. He peered out and
not seeing his victim stepped back into
the room, and another shot was heard, fol-
lowed by the heavy fall of body, and
when the police burst open the door they
found their prisoner on the floor
weltering in his own blood.
He had turned the revolver on himself and
inflicted fatal wound. The would be

Sullivan Drunk.

New YORK, July 19.-John L. Sullivan
arrived at the Pennsylvania depot at Jer-
sey City by the limited express at 8
o'clock tonight. The train was an hour
late. There were two friends with him
and they got into carriage and crossed
Cortland street ferry. Sullivan was very
much intoxicated and unable to talk SEN
sioly about anything.
The fact of Sullivan's presence in the
city soon became known and all of the
leading sports started in search of him
but failed to find hin. Mike Sullivan,
Johns big brother, who has been stopping
at the Vanderbilt hotel, intended to
leave for Boston tonight, but the news
of his brothers. intended arrival in New
York stopped him and he spent the night
in fruitless effort to find him. Young
Sullivan was very anxious to see his
brother and take him home at
once. He said; "My mother at present
lies between life and death and hereto
fore we have kept this from her, but now
it is absolutely necessary he should come
home at once"

Hogg advocated national financial aid to
education in the south. per capita debt
of Sl3 will not permit the south to meet
requirements of the hour. He also urged
absolute unsectarisnism in any system of

DALLAS, July 19.-Yesterday afternoon
the little 4-year.old boy of Mr.. G. @. Low
cry, who lives in East Dallas, was shot by
negro boy. The weapon was 22-csli-
bre pistol, and il is said several negro
boys hal those dangerous weapons play
ing with them. They would get
off at long range and shoot at
each other causing the hide to rise up in
small Jumps. The negro boys we're flying
kite which the little Lowerer boy caught
hold of while they were attempting to
send it up, and then it was that one of
them shot him. The ball entered the left

shown by the investigation made by DR..
Meehvin. Officers were out looking for
the negro boy who did the shooting, but
up to the latest accounts, he has not been
captured.

A Colored Girl Shot and Killed by Con-
Yict Gusrd.
Special to the Statesman.
LIBERTY, July l9,-Our town was startled
this morning by the announcement that a
negro girl had been shot and killed by q
convict guard at Ames station. Ames sta
tion is situated about two miles east of
Liberty on the Southern Pacific. con-
struction train on which convicts are
worked is side-tracked there. There is a
negro church four hundred yards
from where the train is quartered.
At 10 O'Clock last night as Alex.
Brown, Sadie Bates, Ned Brown and Alice
Jackson, all negroes, were going home
from this church they were aocosted by
white man when about 100 hundred
yares from the church, who called to them
"You bucks, light out"
To which the negro boys replied that
they could not. The assailant quickly
drew his pistol and fired. The
shot struck Sadie Bates, killing the
woman almost instantly. The assassin
fed. Sadie Bates was 16 years old. JUS
tics j. McClacour has been holding the in
quest, but will not finish until tomorrow.
The evidence at the inquest disclosed the
fact that several of the convict guards
we're at the church last night. VIM. Bslk-
man and VIM. Baker, both guards, were
placed in jail this evening.

A Weatherford Man IN Luck

A reporter of the Cons tuition, havins
learned that Mr.. L. NJ. Frey had recsivei
the cash ($5,000 on ticket No. 1884
which he held in the Louisiana ate Lot
terry, and of which he made mention d
the time of the drawing, called on Nj
Frey for confirmation of the report. Nj
Frey cheerfully did so, and added that til
ticket was collected by the First Nations
bank of this city for him without eI
change. We have often wonderel
if the reports of the character d
men who have hitherto draw
prizes in the Louisiana State LotterI
were as claimed, these prizes always az
pearing by the newspaper reports to fall
into the hands of honest, hard-workiul
and deserving men. If they are to b
judged by Mr.. Frey they have all oertainll
deserved the prizes, for there is noma!l
industrious, enterprising and deserving

erford short time, but by strict attentioI
to business, honest work and judicious ed

KNIGHTS of Labor.

CHICAGO, July 19.-The executive COM
mittee of the Knights of Labor at this
mornings session granted charter to the
Ship Calkers' and Carpenters National
Trade assembly. This means an &C.
cession of about 5000 members
for the Knights, 1900 of them being al
ready organized at Detroit, Buffalo, Bay
City, Saginaw, Cleveland, New York and
Jersey City.
The committee spent good part of
the session listening to the delegation
from the local carpenters assemblies and
considering the means of uniting the local
carpenters who are Knights and those who
maintain an independent organization
under the title of United Carpenters
Council.
The board finally recommended the
union of the Knights of Labor carpenters
with the United Carpenters council. They
suggested that the two elements be under
control of an advisory committee, to be
made up equally from each body, which
will issue working cards t. members. The
committe is to have no legislative
power and can take no action that
shall be binding on either element until
mutually ratified. The action of the
board it is thought will heal the existing
breach in the ranks of the carpenters.
A committee from striking Blue Island
brick makers visited the board and
secured a promise from the
latter to represent them at an arbitration
meeting to be held next Monday to settle
differences between the strikers and en-
ployers. Mr.. Powderly will return to the
city tomorrow, and the board will con-
tinue in session the greater part of next

he kept the men under cover awaiting de-
velopments. The arrival OF Detective
Norris with requisitloa from Gov.

paid to his counsel, when it was learned
beyond doubt that Norris was bent upon
arresting the trainer of Kilrain and that

Lawyer Michel. "Do you consider me

Mr.. Mitchell, it is said, told the pugilist
his case vas similar to that of Red Leary's
and that if Lowry wanted the trainers and
hackers he could surely get them.
Briton subsequently learned that an
other distinguished lawyer had advised a
man in a similar situation TO leave the

closely muffled up in summer ulster

appearance of workman in search
of employment, boarded the Erie
