The Cutting OF Jim Williams-An Arrest on
Charge Of Embezzlement.
Especial to the Gazette.
TEMPLE, TEX. June 22.-Jim Bevllle,
formerly in the employ of the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas railway office at Tenn
pie, has been arrested on q charge of en-
bezzlement and is now in jail awaiting
the action of the grand jury at the July
term of the district court.
The particulars regarding the cutting
of Jim Williams, colored, as reported in
yesterdays GAZETTE are substantially as
follows. On Saturday, June 81, Frank
Woods in company with Jim Williams,
negro IN his employ living on Elm creek,
about four miles from Temple, came to
town. Woods towards evening became
fairly under the influence of liquor and
Williams started with him for home.
Upon nearing the house Woods stopped
the horses and dismouuting laid down on
the ground. Williams finding il impossi-
BILE to persuade him to go home left him
and started FOR the house. Upon arriving
there Mrs. Woods was made known the
facts and the negro, in company with
Lon Woods, brother of Frank WooSss
was sent back to where he was living
down. Williams took hold of Frank in
order to carry him to the house, but he
hardly had hold of him when Woods
struck him several heavy blows with his
fist. The negro became enraged at this,
when Woods drew large knife and COM
menced using it on Williams, inf1icting
several gashes across the neck and
mouth. About this time Lon Woods ap-
preached, and, raising an ak, struck
Williams heavy blow on the arm, say
sipg: "You touch my brother and 1 kill
you. - Seeing Williams had no means
of defending himself, they tied him to
buggy and drove to Temple, as reported
in yesterdays paper. Constable Sauls-
berry left this morning with proper papers
for the arrest of Woods, and has just ar
rived with his man. 1t will he remem-
bered that Woods some ysefs Ago killed
a man and was sent to. <be pe1ftentiary.
He has just returned after serving his
sentence, and if 10 sratemsnt above,
which is made hwillIaps, is true, he
will Rrobably Fe an1Sopportunity of
seryins,some 1T ybsfs again.

The cotton returns show an increase of
acreage in nearly every state. The over
flows in Arkansas prevented increases
which otherwise would have been
made. The average acreage was l02,
with l05 for Texas. The report says:
In the Mississippi valley and in Texas
heavy rains, local floods, and inunda-
tons nave caused an unusual amount or
replautlng, and on the Mississippi and
other great rivers delay OF planting until
the waters recede. In such cases the
seed has hsen dropped in the mud, and
the splaats have appeared promptly,
sotf9flInes IN four days from planting.
Except on the Atlantic coast, the ex-
cess of rain has retarded chOppiug out
and cultivation, leaving the crop some
what grassy, though recent fine weather
has done much TO secure clean cultiva-
ton. In more southern ATTITUDES the
plants are beginning TO bloom. While
the entire breadth as rule is late, the
plants are healthy and growing rapidly.
Average condition is SIS. The per-
oentage of Virginia is 80; North Caro-
lima, IS; South Carolina, 81; Georgia,
"a; Florida, 80; ALBANIA, SO; Mississippi,

An Important South American Road..

An important engineering work now in progress, which has attracted thus far very little attention, is the Trans- andine Railroad in South America. which is an extension of the Argcn-- tine Pacific Line, and which will,. when completed, connect the port of Buenos Ayres on the Atlantic with the Chilian port of Valparaiso on the Pacific coas. The total length of the road when completed will be 870' miles, and of this GAO miles on the eastern end and 80 miles on the vest ern are now in opcrtion, leaving. about 150 miles in construction. This sec ton, however, includes the most diffi-. cut work of all, the crossing of the Andes. This crossing is made at the Cumbr, Pass, the summit level of which is about l3,000 fit. above the sea, but the railroad will find it's highest level at 10, ,450 fit. above the sea, where it will penetra the mountain by a tunnel IA miles in length. On this tunnel work is now in progress, while a considerable portion of the grading of the rest Of the mountain section is finished.
 The contractors for the mountain section are an English fir n, and they have large force at present employed. No date has yet been set for the com pletion of the line, but it is expected
 hat trains will run through from the Atlantic to the Pacific some time in 1892
