A Ooroner's Inquest.

On Sunday. the 23d of March last
while two colored boys, Jim Stephen
son and Dock Powell, were going to 9
game of base ball at Bosqueville from
a colored settlement on the east side
of the river, they attempted to cres,
the river at Thompson's Ford, q eros
sing three miles above Waco. Tht
river was up and Dock Powell wai
drowned. Yesterday, while Willie
Plunkett was going up the river in g
skiff, he found dead body in the
river near the bank and came back tc
town and informed the authorities.
Justice Makeig yesterday viewed
the body which proved to DO that Of

Jim Stephenson, the boy who was
with him when he was drowned, tes.
titled to their going to the river and
hesitating to cross on account of the
river being up. and to their final con.
clusion to try 1t. The following is the
boys description of the drowning:
We soon struck swimming water and
my horse turned up the river and
Docks turned down. When l looked,
Dock was off his horse and standing
in the water up to his arm pits. I hal.
loed to him to 60 back. He stood
looking at me awhile but said nothing.
He then caught his horse. got on him
again and struck out for the west side.
His horse sank again and Dock got of
and started for the bank. Just as ]
landed l heard Dock call me, and say,
"Come here, Jim, come quick |" i
swan to him and held out my hand,
which he grabbed. We were then about
60 feet from the bank. I started to
swim with him to the bank and after
going about ten feet he sank and pull.
ed me down with him. As soon as ]
struck bottom l sprang up with him
and swan little piece further when we
sank again, l got him to the top again
and grabbed him by the back Of his
coat collar. We soon sank again and
that time / did not touch bottom, and
as VIC come up, being about exhausted
and about to drown myself turned
him loose and caught to a willow, and
with difficulty managed to save myself
l swan with him altogether, across
and down the stream, about 200 yards
When I turned him loose the last time
twas about ten feet from the bank. AT
ter he sank never saw him any more
until yesterday when his body was tax

The Eli,absthan Age.


The circumstances Of the Elixabethan
age favored unity Of style. The Ian.
guage, to begin with, had recently
been remade under the influence Of
new ideals and new educational sys-
TENS. Far more than lapse of years
and wastes Of desolating warfare sep.
arated Sixteenth century English from
the speech Of Chaucer. The spirit il
self which shapes language to the use
Of mind had changed through the
action Of quickening conceptions and
powerfully excited energies. And to
this change in the spirit the race was
eagerly responsive. In certain way
all writers felt the Bible-Greece,
Rome, Italy, France, Germany; all
strove to be in tune with the new
learning. At the same time criticism
was hardly in its cradle; you find
trace Of it in Jonson, Bacon, Selden.
Camden; but il does not touch the
general: The people were anything
but analytical, and poetry issued from
the very peoples heart, as melody from
the strings of the violoncello. The spon.
taneity which we have already noted
rs main mark Of the Elizabethan ut
terance led thus to unity of style. The
way in which classical snasterpieces
wcre then studied condaced To the
Same result. Those perey,uial sources
OF style were enjoyed in heir entire
~, absorbed, assimilated, reproduced
with freedom. They were not closely
scrutinizel. examined with the micro
scope, studied with the view of empha-
sizing this or that popularity single
critic found in them. And the Same
holds good about contemporary for
cign fteratures. Everything which
these litemtures contained was grist for
the English mill; not models to be
copied, but stuff to DO used. A.
symonds in Fortnightly Review.

The roses that bloom in the spring,

Petitions asking the council, ON Sat.

and signatures asked for.
The city council holds a meeting
tonight. On Saturday night special
session to consider the proposition for
a water contract will be held. An
other session will be held on Monday
night, at which the new members and
new city officers will be sworn in.
At McGregor on Tuesday the fol-

The services at the Baptest church
last night were we'll attended and very
interesting. DR.. Graves is brilliant

7:30p. m.
It was whispered about this morn
ing that recount Of the election re-
turns of the Second ward would be
called for on account of tho alleged
throwing out of some tickets. There
seems to be no foundation for re-
count. Some irregular tickets were
put in the box, as they always are,
but none were thrown out on account
of irregularity. There were some
tickets in which none Of the names OF
candidates for city secretary were
crossed out, and two or three in which
neither Jones nor Gooch were scratch
ed, but in all such cases the rest OF
the ticket was counted.

Tho Cause of Their infringement.

Tho Cause OF Their Enlargement.
It transpires that the cstrangement
between Crown Prince Rudolph and
the present emperor of Germany grew
out of a remark made by the latter
some years before his accession to tho
throne. He and Rudolph had been on
very friendly terms and ono day in
conversation William stated that If he
ever became emperor his policy would
be conducted on the same lines as thct
Of Frederick the Great. To this Prince
Rudolph retorted that Frederick's
schemes always included the destruc-
ton OF tho Austrian empire. Prince
William did not disclaim his intention
to initiate the great emperor, and
hence GOODNESS arose between the
two heirs TO crowns which was never
dispelled. San Francisco Chronicle.

QUITTING ARRAY.
Very Near a Very Serious Matter.

To-day at noon at the WORKMAN
house, on Seventh street near Austin
an ARRAY occurred between two men
AlexWood and Jno. Worsham by name
which fortunately ended without a
serious tragedy. Both are workmeu

rather Wood was, for he had quit work
there yesterday or day before. There
seems to have been some bad blood be,
tween them for day or two, on one
side at least, as there had been alterca
tions the day before.
According to the statement Of Mr..
B. f. Workman, the proprietor of the
Workman house, he was standing at
the desk in the Office Of the hotel en-.
gagged in conversation with Worsham
when Wood came in and stepping up
to Worsham said, "tell Wester l won't
work for him any more and I wouldn't
work for him. Worsham replied,
"you must tell Mr.. Wester yourself, as
III have nothing to do with it." Wood
replied, "you are a G--d--d-n-"
Worsham drew q pocket knife aud

caught by Mr.. Workman and held, but

twice. The FIRST blow was struck at
the neck but seems to have struck
Woods coat collar, the knife penetrat.
ing the side of the neck only short
distance, but dangerously near the car
otid artery. In the scuffle another blow
was struck at Woods side but the knife
seems to have turned and no wound
was made. The men were part
ed and Worsham given up to the
authorities and q physician called
in, DR.. Howard, who dressed the
wound. The wound is very slight,
but shudderingly near the danger line.
The wounded man was able to be out
soon after and gave his evidence at the
examining trial, which was held by
Justice Jack Harrison at two O'Clock.

Wire barbed fencing has proved IA
be a godsend to English farmers. They
are using it around their fields quietly
to annoy and prevent fox hunters
from trampling their crops. They say
nothing OF the sort, Of course, only
keep on putting up the barbs as con-
venient and cheap fence. The horses
and hounds are often injured by these
fences. There is no law to prevent
the use Of the wire, and not likely to
be. So revolution is wrought in the
