Weitzsl, Charged With Assault With Intent to
Murder, on Trial Yesterday-Other
Work Of the Tribunals.

The case of the state against E. B.
Weitzel was on trial yesterday and ex-
cited great deal of interest. It will be
remembered that on the night of the 18th
of May, A. j. Anderson, as he was 60
ng home about o'clock, was fired on
and narrowly escaped with his life. The
assailant laid hand on Mr.. Anderson 3
shoulder, and fired the shot as that gen.
tlemau turned. Mr.. Anderson posi-
lively identifies Weitzsl as the man, and
Mr.. Thomas, who was with Mr.. Ander-
son at the time, thiaks Weitzsl is the
man. Mr.. Ferguson, who lives on
the same street identified Wsitzel as one
or two men whom he saw on that street
about the time of the shooting.
The defense set up an alibi, which is
testified to by several witnesses. Miss
Minnie Green testif1es that he was not

Is from $3.50 until the time of his arrest,
while the attack was made on Mr.. An
derson at about o 'olock. Mrs. Brennon
teStities to the same thing, and two boys
swear that the defendant was in the
restaurant playing checkers at the time
the shooting occurred.
The motive as set up by the defense is
something as follows: Mr.. Weitzel,
who has bean in this city only
short time, asked Mr.. Anderson on
the morning of the 18th to act
as arbiter for him in small civil diff

son knocked his hat off and insulted him,
while the prosecution testifies that Welt
eel remarked at the time: "I'Il get even

said the difficulty was not settled yet.
At half past o. clock last night the
counsel agreed to close the evidence and
finish the case, aud at 1880 the argu-
msnts were begun. The case was given
to the jury and they failed to agree. At

Special to the Gazette
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, May 26.-Dr.
Mortimer Slocum, a well-known citizen,
died at his home here last night of can
oerous affection of the stomach. His
death was sudden and unexpected. He
was especially prominent in Republican
politics of Texas. DR.. Slocum was
chiefly distinguished by being one of the
few men of the world who have obtained
money from life insurance companies on
compromise before a death. A quarter
of century ago DR.. Slocum was a sue
cessfuI practitioner at Chicago. He
was attacked by consumption and
bis case was pronounced in
pnrable by the best physicians
of this country. Knowing this fact an
insurance company in which he held q
$40 900 policy offered to compromise with
him for $4,000. DR.. Slocum accepted
the offer, came to this city, was soon re-
stored to robust health and amassed 8
fortune on his life insurance money.

The Cuban Sugar Crop.

The Havana Weekly Report says OF sugar
crop prospects. The oldest Agricultors in the
country are unanimous in stating that since 1874
the drouth of this year is the most severe one
ever experienced on this island, and its effects
have been 20 disastrous to the young cane that
the production Of next year will be considerably
affected on this account. At Hunza1illo, Guam
tanamo and st. JSg0 de Cubs grinding continues
without interruption, and about three-quarters
of the crop have already been taken off at said
places. Owing to the drouth the production in
those districts will be shorter than calculated at
first.
Planters at Cienfuegos estimate not that in
stead of an increase Of 80 per cent. they ex-
pected to obtain a few months ago, the produc-
ton in that locality will hardly be 20 per cent.

drou ght and the frequent fires that have re-

week fires Of increased violence have again been
reported, and the quantity Of cane hurt, mostly

amount to over 2 900, 900 Of arrobes, covering an

4 Stal,rart EDITOR on The BuI.

The Washington Post, which is edited by
that stalwart Republican, Frank Hatton,
in an editorial, denounces the Republican
leaders for attempting to curry favor with
the negroes they have abandoned for TWEEN
ty-fve years, by the passage Of the elections
bill. The closing paragraph Of the editorial
is as follows
'The policy of the Republicans to-day Is
not one of courage 1t is not one OF disin-
terested love for their oppressed and sup
pressed brother down South. 1t is one Of
less courage and less principal. In several
of the Northern States the colored voters
hold the balance of power. They are be-
coming restless. While their white North
ern political brother clamOrs for recognl-
ton of the black man down South, they are
absent-minded about recognizing, political
". the black brother up North. Hearing
the rumblings of discomfort from the amen
corner of the colored balance power, the
cringing party cOwardice of fifteen years
ago suddenly becomes shocked at the out
RACES being perpetrated against the black
man down South, and with courage with
a mold of fourteen years upon it the party
in power grows red in the face in its de-
mand for the passage of Z bill in the House
which will not pass the Senate, and which
i inst fifteen wears 100 late, and which, if it
should become a law, would do quite as
much harm now as it would have done good
had it been enacted when Blaine defeated
it."
Similar expressions are found in other
Northern Republican papers, notably the
Philadelphia Telegraph and North Ame''-
can, protesting against the passage of this
uncalled for bill, which is fraught with dan
ger and pregnant with disorder, riot and
bloodshed
