night, in which Doc Cooper, George
Stenson and VIII Moc~e, all coIored,
were stabbed. Three young men, white.
of this city stand charged with the stab

Howard, a mechanic, and r. 2. Harr1-
son and Abe Goodman, clerks, induced
tie Greenyille string band, of which
Cooper, StensOn and Moore are mem
bers, to furnish music for a serenade.

Cooper with q long bladed pocket knife,
infiCting a serious wound in the

TYLER, Ten. July 3O.-J. A Nc
Bride. who for some time has been cook
ing in a restaurant in the city, took NOR
phine last night and died from the effects
this morning early. Justice Leverett
held an inquest this morning, and the
evidence substantiated the above facts.
The suicide left a letter in which he
stated he would not be here much
longer, and telling friends how to dispose
of his worldly goods. Mcbride had been
paying devoted attention to woman for
some time past, and it is supposed that
trouble growing out of this is the direct
cause of the rash deed. -.

FREE MASONRY IN COURT.

Grand Lodge Enjoined from Carrying Out
Certain Grand Lodge Legislation.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, July 3O.-An ac-
ton was begun yesterday in the district
court at Marion that will startle Masonic
circles more than anything else perhaps
of late years. JudgA> Preston of the
Eighteenth judicial district, on the petit
ton Of c.. E. Barnes of Burlington, J
c. Graves and Henry Bennett, plaintiffs
and grand officers of the Iowa con-
sistOry of that branch of Scot
fish rite Masonry commonlys
known as Cerneau, ordered a tens
pOrary injunction against the Grand
Lodge of Iowa, Ancient, Free and Ac-
copied Masons, restraining them from
putting into effect the legislation of the
last session Of the Grand Lodge referring
to cerneau bodies, and which commanded
master Masons to leave the consistory of
Iowa of that right under punishment of
expulsion. The petition states that as
the body represented by the plaintiffs do
not confer blue lodge degrees, and the
Grand Lodge or its subOrdi-
nate lodges do not confer twenty
nine higher degrees, the Grand Lodge
has no jurisdiction whatever, and its ac-
ton is illegal, arbitrary, oppressive,
prOscriptive of their individual con-
sciences and Masonic relations, and hurt
full to their standing as good and reputa-
BILE citizens.
This is the first time the Masonic body
has appealed to the state courts, and the
action Of the supreme court, to which it
viii finally go, will be a precedent for
other states. The time for hearing the
for a perpetual injunction will
be in the October term of court at Ma

PURCELL, IT. ,. July 3O.-At the little
town of lexington in the Oklahoma
country, just across tie river from this
place, a serious shooting scrape occurred
this evening about O'Clock by which
Henry Simmons was instantly killed and
Francis S. Jones received his death
wound. The troubled originated over a
settlement between the two of a cattle
trade. Jones made some threats and
Simmons, who is city marshal, at
tempted to arrest him, and Jones shot
him with a Winchester which he held in
his hands at the time. Almost simultan-
eously Simmons fired with q 44-callber
Smith s Wesson revolver, shoot
ing Jones through and through,
from which wound he cannot possibly
recover. After swapping his revolver
twice more at his adversary he fell to the

WATCHING BEHRLNG SEA.
Operations of the Revenue Cutter Rush-C

tiire Of the Black Diamond. -
SAN Francisco, CAL, July 3G.AThe,
steamer Dora arrived from Behring sea
last night, and brings the first detailed
news of the capture of the British sealer,
Black Diamond, by the United States
revenue cutter Richard Rush. On July
IL the Rush overlook the Black Diamond
and ordered her to heave to. The cap
tain of the Black Diamond refused to do
this. ThereupOn the commander
of the Rush ordered the lowering
of ports and running out of guns
which brought the schooner to. Capt.
Shepard and Lieut.. futile boarded the
English craft and asked for her papers.
Officers of the Black Diamond offered no
armed resistance, but, refused to deliver
the ships papers. Capt, Shepard at
once broke open the cabin and forced the
hinges Of the strong box and the cap
tain s chest, thereby securing the pa
pers. A search Of the vessel disclosed
l03 sealskins which had been taken III
BehTing sea. Capt. Shepard placed a
noncommissioned officer from the
Rush in charge of the
Black Diamond and ordered the
vessel to be taken to Sitka to await
further instructions. The captain of the
Black Diamond made a statement that
when in Victoria. he had been ordered to
pay no attention in case he was overtaken
by the Rush and requested to heave to.
He said he would not have surrendered
If the Rush had had an inferior force to
that of his own.
On July - the schooner Triumph was
also boarded by Capt. Shepard, but no
arrests were made, the skins on board
the vessel having been captured in the
Pacific and not in Behring sea.
A passenger who arrived here last night
on the steamer Dora said: con our way
down from St. Paul s island we saw six
seaIers and the Rush was closely in pur-
suit of them. We left st. Paul 5 island
on July 20 and on the following day saw
the Rush in pursuit of her prey, Tn
doubtedly by this time the Rush has
made additional captures. - -

SWEETWATER.
A Boom With Solid Foundation to It-Induce-

Boom with Solid FOundatlOn TO IC-lnQuce-
ments for FIGURING Mill.
Special to the Gazette.
SwEETwATER, TEX, July 30.-The
West never has been so prosperous as at
present. In 1882 to 1884 we enjoyed an
inflated boom in stock values, as result
of which millions of dollars of paper exc
cuted in the purchase of stock that never
existed went to protest. The reaction
that followed gives the "'allOvers' even
yet TO think of it; but our present boom
rests on a solid foundation represented
by doubled land values, which are yet
much too low. The magnificent crops of
1883 and 1889 and a steady influx of new
blood, new life and more money accom-
panying the steady stream of immigTa-
ton now pouring into this section, are
the causes.
Sweetwater is to have another lumber
yard at once. Maj. Hickey, the mana
ger of the new yard, has now gone East
to lay in his stock and start the yard.
There never was such an inducement
to capital to invest in paying Touring
mill as is now offered by our people. The
Sweetwater mill and gin company have a
plant worth $4,000 that is offered free to
the party or parties who will engage to
put in the necessary additional machinery
to start a first-class Touring mill of ca
pacity of say fifty barrels per day.
There can not be less than Co.
600 TO as 900 bushels of grain in the
territory tributary to this point that has
no mill facilities nearer than Abilene,
which is at an average distance from this
grain of about fifty miles. There is no
mill west of Abilene, and this section Is
just now the most rapidly deVelODing1
part of Texas, and its capacity for grain
production is unequaled by any other5
portion of the state. I
We of Nolan and Fisher counties de-
sire to strike hands with Fort Worth in
the work of West Texas development,
and will aid by money and influences any
judIcious movement to that end.

When Professor Morse was in Wash
inrton. preparing to test the telegraph
line which had been erected at govern
mcnt expense between Washington and
Baltimore. he was attended by several
gentlemen friends, among whom was
Congressman John j. Wctherill, Of
MARYLAND. Professor Morse rang up the
Baltimore Office, then located in room
o-er the po,toilicc at Fayette and Nortl
streets. and having received an answer.
ing signal he announced that he was
ready to transmit a message TO Baiti-
more. At this juncture Congressman
Wcthcrill suggested that as communica
ton by clectmity was a great event III
the worlds history, the honor Of sending
thehrst message should be bestowed upon
some one identified with the nations
progress. This suggestion met with ap
nroval. bat none could think Of a person
whom this honor would conspicuously
b.ft Suddenly Wcthcrill cried out; u
have ~ Mrs. Madison is in Washing
ton. and She is just the person.
That distinguished lady was sent for,
and I'm half am hour she arrived, duly
excited. but with the heavenly, obliging
smile She always wore. Professor Morse
asked her To write ont brief message tc
some friend in Baltimore, and Mrs. Mad
ison accordingly wrote q line to the wife
Of the congressman, simply tine words
"llrs. James Madison's compliments t.
Mrs. Wctherill." This first message was
licked of and shortly thereafter reached
Mrs. Wcthenll at her country homo III
the suburbs Of Baltimore, having been
dispatched from the Baltimore Office by
"a courier on horseback.
Several other preliminary messages
such as "Iiow are your etc, were sent
and then came the formal communica
lion: "What hath God wrought" These
facts were narrated to mo by Congress

RALEIGH, N. c.. June 3.-Our market
has been very quiet for past two weeks.
Planters busy at home, hence small
breaks, and that very poor in quality.
TobaccOs seems TO have REDEEMED more
than usual up to this date. Planting
has progressed steadily for past week.
and no doubt all of the anticipated
crop is now in the bill. Wake county
planting is very much reduced, owing
to poor success last two years in
tobacco and the reverse in cotton, which
has sold high and brought remunera-
tive prices. while tobacco has been I'M
profitable to the majority of planters
and they have gone back to cotton. In
Wilson, Wayne. and Nash least Of u.s.
the planting has been somewhat in
creased. We look for good breaks this
week. REED & MCGEE.

The quantity Of our offerings shows no

bulk as usual consisting Of common and
nondescript grades. Our market on
the whole was very active and with a
strong demand prevailing for all de-
sirable tobaccos prices were fully up
and even a shade higher than in
previous weeks.

The dealings OH the Stock Exchange
this morning were on an exceedingly
small scale. Up to noon only 59,OOO
shares, against 1880 in the same
hours Yesterday, were traded in. There
was no general movement IN prices,
either up or down. though the granger
stocks were tag per cent higher.
as were also n. Y. and N. +.
and J. c., the latter being ex-
ceptionally strong and IL per cent.
higher. The two last mentioned
stocks, together with the Changers and
Northern Pacific, furnished 34,7OO
shares Of the total sold. There seems
to be a growing disposition on the part
of the general public to hold aloof from
the market. The Changers, South
western, and coal stocks show unmis'
taxable signs Of clique support. A
marked instance of this is the fact
that the prices of the Changers have
been marked up to l per cent. since
Friday, in the face Of the most serious
rate troubles in the West this year.
After midday the market continued ex-
cessively dull. Dealings were utterly
devoid of feature. The closing prices
for the general list Of stocks were but
little changed from those of yesterday.
To-day sales aggregated l26,4OS shares.
