Of them graced the grounds with their pres

TRAGIC DEATH.

UntimeIy End Of Young Mrs. Harper, Grand
daughter of Mrs, Henry Ward Beecher.-
Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, May Brooklyn society
suffered a severe shock in the sudden
tragic death of young Mrs. Harper at
merly Miss Kate Beeeher was the particu-
lar favorite of her grandmother, Ma.
Henry Ward Beecher. Mrs. Beechsr is
now on her way home from Florida
and has not yet learned of her
granddaughter death. Mrs. Beech
RS health while soiournIng in Florida
has not been good. and it is feared that
the shock she will receive upon learning
of Mrs. Harper's death may have
serous effect upon her. Mrs. Col.
-Beeoher was not notified of her daugh-
ter 5 death until this morning, and is
com letely Frustrated by the news.
About a year ago Miss Kate was
married, amid the plaIdits of large
circle of fashionable acquaintance, to
William Harper, member of the big pub
fishing house. The ceremony took place
at the Episcopal church of Heavenly
Rest, Fifth aYenue,.4 and DR.. Charles
Hall, the old friend of Henry Ward
Beecher, assisted. Since her marriage
Mrs. Harper has resided at BeIgravis
Apartment house, New York. Although
q healthy, beautiful woman she has been
ill.a good deaf siRoe her marriage.
Yesterday she complained of severe
pain from a tooth and sent for dentist
who administered ether from the effects
of which, or from heart trouble, she
died. Tho only member of the
family who is cognizRpt of the
sad facts concerning Mrs. Har-
per IS death who was in Brook
lyn to-day was Mrs. Charles Neergaarde,
sister of Mrs. William Beeoher. She
said: "She was great fsvorite with US
all and her sweet disposition and gentle
winning manners made her very popI-
lar. She went up to Yonkers q short
time ago with her child, Barton Beecher,
three month-old baby. The full
details in regard to her death
are not vet known, but I believe
that after the ether was administered
to her she was taken violently sick and
began vomiting. All of a sudden she
turned to her father. who was present,
and said, Papa, papa, can't vomit
any more, and then fell back in the
chair dead 80

DALLAS.
Angus Gets Verdict of Second Degree
Murder-FiYe Years. Sentence.
Two Sleepy Passengers, Conductor, Brakeman
and United states officer Cause Some
Excitement at Grand Prairie.

Special to the Gazette.
DALLAS, TEX, May 3.-The jury in
the Angus case returned q verdict to
day of guilty of murder in the second
degree and assessed the punishment of
the defendant at five years IN the
penitentiary The verdict caused much
surprise, and many citizens loudly
condemn it. Others contend that Angus
ought to have been ACQUITTED. Public
opinion, however, is decidedly against
the verdict OF the jury.
Passengers in the coach just behind the
smoking car on the east bound Texas and
Pacific express were treated to rather
exciting experience tonight at Grand
Prairie. When the train left
Fort Worth among those who
got aboard we're t. P.
Garrison and Kelley Newman,
who paid their fare for Arlington. New
man was SO drunk he fell asleep before
the train started. Garrison bad q few
drinks in him, but was not intoxicated.
Both were asleep, or appeared to be,
when the train reached Arlington, and
were carried by. The conductor in max
ing his rounds woke Garrison up and
said: 81 thought you wanted to
get off at Arlington. Garrison said he
did, but was asleep. The conductor then
told him to get off at the station at Grand
Prairie. The conductor and brakeman
tried to wake up Newman, and were
about to lead him from the car, when
Garrison inteIfered and said: "Don't
put that man OF here. There Is no hotel
here" Conductor McHenrY then asked:
"Where co you and he want to go:" :
"To Dallas, - was the reply.
''Then you will have to pay your
fare.''
Garrison refused to either paw his fare
or get of the train, and told the con-
dQRtor he couldn't put him off. The
latter and Brakeman John FaRin then
undertook to put Garrison of. He showed
fight. In the melee Garrison was thrown
between the seats. He fought fiercely.
At this juncture small man wearing
light suit pushed his way through those
standing in the aisles and drawing q re-
volver ordered Garrison to get back to
the rear of the car. The latter reluc-
family obeyed. Then the man with the
revolver, who proved to be Deputy
United States Marshal Yoakum, pulled
out q pair of handouts and
slapped them on Garrison IS wrists.
When the excitement was at its height
several ladies who were in the front part
of the car left their seats and started for
the door. One old lady broke for the
rear of the car saying, 81 don't want
to have anything to do with
a fight.'' After the handouts
were on Garrison the passengers
began discussing the affair. Some were
loud in coDdemning the conductor, others
were equally loud in condemning CARR
son, while several took it upon them
selves to jump on Yoakum. Chief Deputy
United States Marshal Harrington, who
was in another car, came in. After IN
vestigating the whole matter he released
Garrison. VINO behaved cooler and much
better than did several well-meaning
but hot-headed passengers. Garrison
has lived thirteen years at Arlington.
Newman is q relative, and was return
ing from the cattle country. He was put
of at Grand Prairie.
