THE San Antonio Express IS right; the
railroads do get the worst of it in jury
Yerdicts, and that is just what THE GA
ZETTE said: These verdicts against the
roads are travesties on justice. But the
people were forced into the court room
by the refusal of railroad employees TO
give decent consideration to claims for
damages. The roads force the people to
resort TO the courts, and the result is that
the roads are robbed through law. The
roads and people of Texas are too far
apart

Lamar County Farmer Takes His Life Into
His Own Hands.
Special to the Gazette.
PARIS, TEX. Aug. "a shocking sui
eide was committed about ten miles south
of this city yesterday. John Cheatham
a well-to-do farmer and highly respected
citizen Of that neighborhood, was the
victim of self destruction About 4
o CLOCK in the morning he arose, dressed
himself and left the house It was
thought that he had gone to the barn to
feed the stock. Between s and o. clock
he was found in a vacant house about a
mile from home with his throat cut liter
ally from ear TO ear. He had taken a
bedquilt with him and was lying on it
with his life blood slowly ebbing away.
The knife with which he had done
the awful work was lying beside him.
He was found by a negro who
in passing the house saw him standing in
the door and suddenly fall oTer. The
negro went to him and seeing what had
happened went for assistance. He was
taken to his home and all was done to al
leviate his sufferpgs that it was possible
to do. DR.. Hooks of this city was sent
for and arrived there about O'Clock
in the afternoon and found him still
alive, but beyond human aid. The doe
tor found his head as nearly off as it was
possible for man to cut it with his own
haad. The wind pipe was entirely sew
cred, but the jugqlar had not been
touched. He lived until about $3.50 last
night. The act is supposed to have been
committed in a ct of insanity, though he
had never manifested any symptoms of it
except that he was morbidly sensitive and
respondent. This however was attlib-
uted TO the dyspepsia from which he
was a sufferer.

WINNIPEG, NAN, Aug st was
learned last night from a British Column
bia official who was passing through the
city that the entire Pacific fleet of the
British navy with the exception of two
torpedo boats, steamed out of Esqu1mauit
harbor three days ago bound for the
scene OF the recent seizure in Behring
sea. This was the result of much tele-
graphic communication between the ad-
miral in command Of the fleet and the
Canadian and imperial government The
feet that went north consists
of seven war ships and two
torpedo boats. Five additional war ships
are shortly expected at Esquimault to
reinforce the fleet. Orders have been
left for one OF these to straightway pro-
coed north, while the others remain al

Several Lives Lost,

PORTLAND OREGON Aug. 5.-The fire at
Spokane Falls started in a large frame
block opposite the Northern Pacific
depot, and under the influence of high
winds which scattered burning embers
and started fires on half a dozen differ
ent blocks at once. The whole district
was burned over in three hours. The
water supply proved totally inadequate
even for small fire and the firemen as
well as the citizens became panic stricken.
Several people are known to have per-
ished in the flames and several more
were injured by leaping from the win
dows
Charles Davis of Chicago, a guest at
the Arlington house, was awakened by
the flames bursting through
the third story. He jumped from
the window, was shockingIy mangled
and died in few minutes.
a woman whose name was unknown
leaped from the second story of the Pa
cific hotel and was killed. 5kaa
The fire spread with such aston8hlng5
rapidity that if is believed manS3w ere

large buildings were blown up fifth (@iant

passenger depot and a magnificent new
freight warehouse being destroyed
Their loss, including the freight burned,
VIII reach about one million dollars.
All provisions and supplies were
burned, and there will necessarily be
much suffering for several days. Ap-
peals for help have been sent out, and
Portland, Seattle, Tacoma and several
neighboring small towns have already
responded.
This disaster is undoubtedly twice as
great as that which overlook Seattle,
both on account of its great extent and
the more substantial character of the
burned buildings. No account of the
loss has yet been received.
The Western Union Office has burned
out and all the instruments were de-
stroyed, except one which an operator is
now working on a dry goods box just
outside the city. Nothing could be sent
last night because TIE ffremen had cut
down all the wires.
The fire has exhausted itself for lack Of
material.
All the -four and lumber mills were
saved.
