Hunter Charged With the Murder of
Williams Last Year.
Special to the Statesman.
PALESTINE, Tex, May 18.-George D.
Hunter, who, with his brother John, are
charged with the murder of Col. T. j.
Williams in 1888, was placed on trial in
the district court yesterday. A special
venire of one hundred men had been
summoned, and from it a jury was
OBJ tanned in less than three hours. An
attached witness, Lum Stockbridge, hav-
ing failed to arrive in time, the trial was
postponed until this morning, when it
was resumed. Stockhridge being the first
witness. He heard a couple of shots and
saw the Hunter boys up on their mothers
front gallery with something like shot.
guns in their hands, and then saw two
more shL ts fired, and saw the deceased
Jump from his horse. The mother of the
Two boys was the main witness for the de-
Tense. She testified that Colonel Williams
after a period of friendly relations, had
been forbidden her house; that he had
frequently threatened to kill her if she
married any other man than himself, and
that on Thursday and Friday nights be-
fore the killing he had come
upon her premises, had endeavored to
force an entrance, and had threatened
to kill her on those two occasions. Other
testimony showed that the deceased had
threatened violence against her sons and
that Colonel Williams WAS a violent and
dangerous man, addicted to heavy drink
ing. The lady was widow at the time.
The boys were youths. Colonel Williams
was at one time leading lawyer at the
Palestine bar, but for several years before
his death drank heavily, destroying many
of his better instincts. The case closed
at O'Clock and the argument of counsel
will be closed tonight.

GALVESTON, May 18,-She is in the soup.
She has failed to raise the $4,000 or Sc
cure site for the cold storage warehouse
which was promised the cattlemen over a
month ago. The committee representing
the cattle syndicate which has a contract
with the English syndicate for the de-
livery to the latter of thousand carcasses
of chilled beef per month, either here or
at the wharves in New Orleans, came here
about two weeks ago expecting
to close matters with the Calves
ton committee. To their surprise
the latter were unprepared, and asked for
ten days more, in which they promised to
fulfill their agreement. This was granted.
The ten days passed and the bonus until
filed. Three days more was granted
which expired to-day, and of the $4,000,
only $4,000 was raised. Galveston not
having m 9terialized, the committee repre-
senting the cattlemen have gone to New
Orleans where more liberal apprOpria-
ZION awaits them if the refrigerated beef
men will make that city their exporting
point. A gentleman prominent in financial
and commercial circles, in discussing the
matter, stated that you can say that while
the refrigerator subscription has not ma
terial1zed, there is one man who says it
will be built here yet. Whether this will
be realized is for the future to develop.

Waco Bridge Troubles.

special 10 tne OIdle5lndu.
WACO, May lS.-The old fight of the
city and county against the Toll Bridge
company has been renewed. 1t will be
remembered that when the county at
tempted to construct an iron bridge
across the Brazos year ago the Waco Sus-
pension Bridge company went into the
federal courts and secured a perpetuate
injunction restricting the city and county
from erecting a bridge across the
Brazos. During the last session of the
legislature the city of Waco secured anew
charter from the legislature under the
terms of which the city council is given
the power to condemn the toll bridge for
eminent domain. At meeting of the city
council held tonight the mayor and three
aldermen were appointed committee to
condemn the suspension bridge
under the terms of the
new charter. The action foreshadows q
big legal fight, as Clark, Dyer g. Balm
ger and Alexander 81 Winler are attorneys
for the city, and Goldthwaite g. Ewing, of
Galveston, Prsther d Lindsey and E. Fl.
Graham, of Waco, are attorneys for the
bridge company. The charter of the
bridge company has yet eighty years to
run, and the bridge is earning more
money for its owners every day.

IN COUNCIL,
Annual Meeting of the Two Pres
byterlan General Assemblies
and Their Proceedings.
Question of Changing the West
minister Confession of
Faith.

New YORK, May 17.-Moderato Roberts
called the second days session of the Pres
byterian general assembly to order shortly
after 9 o'clock this morning. The church
was but partly filed with delegates at the
time. The fret half hour was spent in
service of song and praise. Then the
business session began, and the old rules
for the government of the assembly were
adopted.
Rev. DIR. Morris, chairman of the
educational committee, read the report of
at present there were more than 500
churches with membership of one to
twenty-five members without pastors be-
cause of lack of funds. This lack of
ministerial help, the report said, was a
serious question and one that should
be squarely met The rate of
dissolution was last year by
sc per cent the largest in the history of
the Presbyterian 'nurch. The cause of
the dissolution, though perhaps due to the
migratory habits of the people, is espe-
cially to be attributed to the need of
money. The chairman said that the work
among the colored population needed at
tention which it would be wise to give it.
The constant diminution of ministerial
force by reason of old age and disease also
required attention. At the conclusion, he
said the church must have
paid and ordained ministers to meet
this growing demand for ministerial aid.
1t was vital to church interests, and re-
quired prompt and vigorc US action.
The proposal to revise the Westminster
confession of faith is to come formally
before the general assembly, now sitting
in this city.
What the action, if any, will be taken in
the matter it is impossible to pre-
dict, though most likely the out
come is the reference of the
question to a committee or to the pres
byteries for report at some future time
There are those who discern the prob
ability of an exciting debate in the assem-
bly, when the proposal comes up in the
order OF business, while others expect the
whole matter will be either droppea or de-
ferred in the committee room and so that
there will be no airing of the differences in
public.

terday evening was of greater extent
and more damaging than first reported.
1t struck this county fifteen miles from
Bonham, travelling in northeasterly d.

of the town. Many houses in
the country were torn down,
those escaping total wreck being
twisted out of shape and badly damaged.
Many narrow escapes are reported. The
family of j. E. Arterbury, whose house
was torn to splinters, are all seriously in
jured. Mrs. Arterbury died to-
day from the injuries received, and
the balance of the family, consisting of
her husband and child, are in a serious
condition. i Trees, fences and growing
crops were all levelled in the path of the
storm. The total amount of damage can
not be estimated, but will reach
many thousands of dollars.

Saint Louis Episcopal church, and crowds
from town and neighboring villages have
passed in and out of the academy hall
eating ice cream, seeing sights and going

and, after returning from the hall to their
homes, over 100 persons who had eaten
ice cream at the festival were taken ILL.,.
There were calls for doctors from all parts
of the town, and four physicians were kept
busy all last night and to-day caring for
the suffering people. The symp-

Special to the Statesman.
RooKDALE, May 1S.-Last night little
after s O'clock Rookdsle was Mortified at
the news that Mr.. Louis Palmer's wife and
two children had been burned to death.
1t appears that while cooking supper Mrs.
Palmer dropped lamp, which, bursting,
enveloped her in flames almost instan-
taneously. She ran through the room in
which her two children were asleep into
the yard where her husband was. With
much difficulty, and after burning himself
severely, he succeeded in tearing off her
clothes. But the horrible story does not
end here. When Mr.. Palmer looked
around he beheld the interior of his house
one seething mass of flames. By this
time neighbors had arrived, but all of their
efforts to save the little ones were
Intellectual and an hour later their
charred bodies were removed from the
ruins. Doctors Wallis and Willis did all in
their power to save the unfortunate wo-
man, but it was in vain. After the most
exoruciating suffering she died at an early
hour this morning. This family lived
about five n lies west of this place, and
were well-known and highly respected in
the community where they lived. 1t is a
mystery that any one should have burned
in so small house, but the strangest fea-
ture in the sad tale was that babe who
was in the house when the fire started
was afterwards found uniujured in the
yard. Mr.. Palmer says that neither he
nor any one else removed it.
This is ths second awful holocaust that
has visited our vicinity within less than a
year, and both were attended with mysteri-
GUS circumstances that will probably
never be explained.
