Comments on the Withdrawal of the Dallas
Team From the League.
special to the Statesman.
GALVESTON, July 2.-The withdraw of
the Dallas team from the Texas league has
called forth no surprise in this city among
those familiar with the working of the
league. 1t was expected in consequence
of the financial embarrassment under
which the manager of the Dallas team
labored. 1t is however believed the only
effect this will have upon the league will
will be the reorganization of the league
embracing Waco, Austin, Houston and
Galveston, and leaving out Fort Worth un-
less the Dallas citizens should come to
the relief of their team and continue
it in the league under a
new management. Manager Lewis
left for Dallas this afternoon to secure,
if possible, Bach, Maloney, Daniels and
Welch for the G ,lveston team in the event
of disorganization of the Dallas team.
Should Lewis succeed in getting these
players it is rumored Proesser, KeiDzle,
Godar aud Behan will be dropped from
the Galveston nine. 1t is stated that the
Austin and Houston managements are
trying to secure the same men Mr.. Lewis
is in quest of.

Mr.. Tolley, of Dallas, arrived here last

his SOD, Richard A. Tolley, who was
found in the Colorado river near San Saba
about one year ago. He had been muir
and thrown in the river. His remains
were taken to San Saba, photographed
and buried without identification. 1t
seems he left home with man from San
Saba county who had been staying with
his rolley's) folks for several months.
By continuous search, Mr.. Tolley learned
that an unknown man had been found
murdered near San Saba. He set out to
investigate the matter. Upon arriving
there he told the officers that he could
identity his son by one of his front teeth
having one corner broken Off Upon
taking up the remains they were
readily identified. The murderer is
known and nothing will be left undone to
bring the perpetrators of this terrible
crime to justice.

AN AWFUL ACCIDENT,
Mrs. DIR. L, B. Johnson Accidentally
Kllled-The Particulars.

The news of an awful accident to an es-
timable lady yesterday morning was re-
eeived with expressions of profound re-
gret and sorrow throughout the city. The
mortal wounding Of Mrs. DR.. L. B. John
son by the accidental discharge of pistol
spread with rapidity throughout the oity,
where this Christian charitable lady was
so well known and beloved, and
few hours after all hope was
shut out by the announcement of
the demise of this estimable lady. II
seems that about s O'Clock yesterday
morning Mrs. johnson was engaged In
cleaning up her sleeping apartment, as
was her custom, and in taking the sheets
or counterpa pane from the bed Colts re-
volver, which was under the pillow,
was thrown to the floor and discharged,
the ball taking effect in the abdomen and
passing entirely through the body. Mrs.
Tiff John on, a niece of the lady, was IN
another room of the house, ,and hearing the
pistol shot, hastened to the room and was
horrlfied to find. her aunt mortally
wounded,
Physicians were Immediately sent for
and Doctor Church arrived first and
Doctor Swearipgea arrived few moments
later. The physicians pronounced the
wound mortal one and SO informed the
unfortunate lady who received the news
with Christian fortitude and resi- gnation
Miss Ruth Johnson,a "a niece of the deceased,
was visiting some friends at the time of the
accident, but arrived before the lady's
death. Rev. T. B. Lee arrived at the bed
side and administered consolation to the
dying lady. The sister superior of S..
Mary's academy and other sisters and rel
atives OF the deceased were at her bedside
when she died. Mrs. Johnson was the
widow of DR.. l.. B. Johnson, who died in
this city few months ago. She was born
in Orange county, New York, about fifty
eight years ago, and moved with her pa
rents to Clermont county, Ohio, when a
child. She came to Texas wi h her hus-
band in 1878, and has lived ever since in
this county and city. She was a member
of St. Davids church and was widely
known as kind and charitable lady.
The funeral will occur at $50 O'Clock
this afternoon from st. David's.
