NOT MICHAELS' LAMP.
Was the Church Set on Fire?

Was the Church Set on Fire?
Mr.. Chas Michaels, who occupies
the parsonage of the colored Baptist
church on Lavacca street, recently
burned, says that it is not true, as
stated in the Express report OF that
fire, that it was caused by lamp
which he left burning. Michaels says
that his kitchen fire was out at D
O'Clock that afternoon. At $50 he
left the house and came up town with
his daughter, who was attending a
society meeting. Before leaving he
took his children to their grand
mother, carefully put out his light,
locked his doors and closed his gate.
He had not returned when the fire
broke out, but his neighbors say that
a fire was built against the side of the
house from the outside, or at least
there is where the fire was first seen
burning. He most positively denies
having left any fire in his stove or
any lamp burning in his house.

Mo!stened the Earth.

The steady wind from the north
east, which blew all day yesterday
very sensibly cooled the air, the Their
mometer rising no higher than 81 de-
grees, the coolest day for four weeks
past. Heavy clouds gathered in the
east and northeast and some heavy
drops began to fall very early in the
afternoon. About six o'clock the
pattering of the rain upon the tin
roofs became quite lively and an
hour later a steady rain was falling
which increased in force until nearly
midnight, the downpour continuing
with Slight intermissions until day
light. The rain comes most oppor-
timely and will greatly refresh the
foliage and help the growing crops.
Cotton will be very materially bene'
fitted by this rain, as it will prevent
the squares from dropping, but the
damp ground will favor the worms
and keep the planters hustling to gel
the best of them. Texas prospects
never were so promising as to-day.

a COURAGEOUS Executive.


Chicago Inter.Ocean.I
"No man." says Gov. Foraker, sis
worthy to enjoy the free institutions
of America who rebels against duly
enacted statute and defies the author
itity intrusted with it's enforcement.
Smite every manifestation of such a
spirit with a heavy hand" We
doubt if any man in public life has
made holder avowal of faith under
circumstances so critical as those in
which Gov. Foraker is placed. He is
a candidate for reelection, and the
votes of several liquor dealers are
worth seeking after, but it matters
not to the courageous governor; the
triumph of law is the first thing that
a patriot seeks after, the triumph of
his party the second, his own adj
vancement the last. Gov. Foraker
never stood so we'll with the great
body of his countrymen as since the
publication of his letter to the mayor
of Cincinnati.

LATEST FROM HAYTI.

Another ''TerrIble Struggle" Reported to
Have Occurred Near Port Au- Prince in
which One Man was Slaughtered After
Terrific Fighting, Several others Being
Badly bruised.
NEW YORK, July 26.-The steamship
Frederick Hendrick. which arrived yes
terday from Port-au- Prince, brought
word of still another terrible struggle
near the Haytien capital One man was
slaughtered during the conflict and sew
eral others received severe bruises. The
battle was brought about under the follow
ing circums tances: Ga July IS, the day be-
fore the Frederick Hendrick sailed, Hippo
lyte's forces, laboring under the impress
sion that tie small fortress at La Coupe
had been evacuated by Legitime, marched
forward boldly and took it by storm. 1t
is an advantageous position for either
side, being but two miles distance from
POrt-au Prince and in a commanding
spot. The forces of Legidme had not
evacuated It. and were aroused to action
by the sudden and unprecedented attac k
of the troops under Hippolyte's General.
Before the latter had time to apologize
for entering the fort in so uncere-
-nonious a manner Legitime's troops had
poured into the ranks of Hippolyte de-
structive volley. Actual lighting resulted
at once, and as has been said, one hero
paid the penalty Of his intrepidity. The
forces of Hippolyte then succeeded IN

ninety-twO, was one of the best known
residents of Berkshire County. Her
father, Captain Nathan Pierson, left
her a handsome fortune, which sho
increased by investment. Samuel j.
Tilden was her legal adviser. She
was generous, and used her money
wisely. One of her proteges was
Frederick Bridgman, the artist, and
she had on her walls many of his first

gagged to be married when young
woman, but the match was broken off
and she remained single the rest OF

formed a like service for Judge
Gresham at the last Republican Ma
tional convention in Chicago. He was
born and educated in Maine, but drift
ed to Indiana in 1916. Then he went
to the Mexican war, and when he was
discharged, on account of illness, set
tied in Bloomington, Ill, and begar
the law practice, which afterwarC
brought him into intimate association
with Mr.. Lincoln. Mr.. SWEET wa.
married twice, the last time, about
two years ago, to his private secre-
tary.

How a Snake Dimes on Frog.

A naturalist in Dakota was inter.
ested recently in a snakes feast on a
frog. He tells about it in the Natural
Science Monthly. Frogs may be sue
culent to snakes, but their deglutitiOn
is very much like hard work. 1t is
difficult to tell whore the fun comes
in. The greatest trouble is to swal-
low the frog after catching him. He
is swallowed heels first. 1t is prob
lematic whether this is done by pref
erenoe or to wedge the victim down.
When caught the frog cries out pitt
fully. This seems to delight his
snakeship. The frog soon finds it is
useless to struggle to release the one
leg swallowed and tries to keep the
other out of the trap. But the snake
gives a gurgle and leap and catches
the other leg. Then poor froggy's
eyes dilate and assume CLASSY stare;
the body is stupefed. The snake does
not swallow; it simply crawls over its
prey by contracting the muscles in its
throat. When the frog gets fairly in
the snakes belly the latter seems te
have a terrible case OF indigestion. 1t
rolls over and over and looks as il it
would give a hundred dollars to get
out of the scrape. Then it becomes
5tupeiied and doubtless resolves never
20 make q fool Of itself again, but when
hungry it goes for frogs just as
eagerly as before.
