KILLING AT SAN ANTONIO.
A Methodist Minister'S Boy Loads Up on Beer
Until He is Full of Fire and
Deies the officers.
sepcial to the Gazette.

SPECIAL to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX. June 15.-C. W.
Collins. tweuty-one years of age, is
dead, with a hole bored through him.
His friend, Ben Dobbs is in jail, and
Policemen wilkins, white, and Stephens,
colored, are behind the bars with MUIR
der indictment pending against them. The
tragedy is the direct result of beer. Col
Inns was an exceedingly handsome boy,
and lived at Pearsall. His father is a
widely known and beloved Methodist
minister at that place. In company
with Dobbs the young man
came to San Antonio yesterday,
and last night was quarrelsomely
drunk, and about O'Clock in the
morning, still in the company of his
friend and on horseback, he dashed up
to the door of a saloon in the western
part of the oIty, and in so doing ran over
q dog belonging to boy named Smith.
The latter protested and Collins
cursed him literally. He and Dobbs
then left, but returned in q few moments
and again began cursing Smith. Officers
Diaz wilkins and Stephens were present
and the row died out. At 3
o clock these latter were at the
Mexican lunch tables in Preside square,
when Collins and Dobbs appeared and
according to the testimony at the inquest
Dobbs exclaimed: "Now Is your time
to shoot Wilkins grabbed the bride
of Collin IS horse and Collins shot at him
Wilkins answered and Collins fired again
Then Wilkins and Stephens fired together
and Collins fell. He expired almost in
stantly. The bullet struck the fifth rib
in the left side, took an upward course
and came ont below the right
nipple. 1t is supposed that
wilkins is responsible for the shot that
killed. The two policemen were exon
Grated at the inquest, but were arrested
to-day upon a warrant sworn out by
Sheriff Mccall and the grand jury will
Immediately investigate the case. A
singular feature of the affair is that no
pistol was found on Collins, nor did
Dobbs have one.

TO finish the song that had been so
strangely Interrupted, "and relieve his
ears!' They sang it through, when, AS
the story goes, ''all the officers wept
like children. -
Not long since one of Col. MoEwen IS
daughters was asked il she had in her
possession the song which had such a
strange history connected with it.
Shortly after she sent 1t to her ques-
toner, adding: "Many years have flown
by since we sang it, and, as time has
worn away the rough edges of 'the times
that tried men . souls, it seems quite
tame. - This may be, but at such a
moment the rudest lines, if full of spirit,
stir the blood like bugle, and one can
well understand how those Southern
voices should linger long in the ear of
the wounded Federal officer. Here are
the words they sang:
JUST BEFORE THE BATTLE, MOTHER.
Just before the battle, mother,
am thinking most OF you,
While upon the field we're watching,
With the enemy in view.
Comrades brave around are lying,
Filled with thoughts of homo and God;
For well they know that on the morrow
Some will sleep beneath the sod.
Oh, I long to see you, mother,
And the lovely ones at home;
But III never leave our banner
Till in honor can come
Tell the traitors ali around you n
That their cruel words we know -
In every battle kill our soldiers
By the help they give the foe. ~
Hark! I hear the bugles sounding
tbs the signal for the fight;
Now, may God protect us, mother,
As it ever does the right.
Hear the battle cry of freedom,
As it swells upon the air!
Oh, yes, we II rally round the standard,
Or Wen perish nobly there.
CHORUS.
Farewell. mother, you may never
Press me to your heart again;
But oh, you II not forget me mo Their,
If I'm numbered with the slain.

DEEP WATER.
The Ship Canal Through Mustang Island Said
to Be the Solution Of the Vexed
Question.

Special to the Gazette.
CORPUS CHRISTI, TEX, June 15.-The
problem of securing deep water on the
Texas coast without government aid
seems to be near solution here.
Col. Ropes enterprise to con-
meet Corpus Christi bay with the gulf
of Mexico by means of a ship canal cut
through Mustang island is progressing
rapidly and satisfactorily. The dredge
boats at that point are clearing over 200
feet per dav. At that rate, according to
the engineers statement, the gulf will
be reached within forty-four days.
When the waters of the bay and gulf
meet this will give an artificial
channel deep enough and vide enough,
when completed, to admit the largest
sea-golng vessels. An educated en-
gineer visiting the city, and who was
skeptioal of the probability of the work,
after g thorough inspection declares the
pl an not only feasible but believes IN its
certainty and early success.

ChicagOans wrangling Over the Worlds Fair
Site Question.
Special to the Gazette.
CHICAGO, ILL, June 15.-The Yves
Side of the city is up in arms on the
Worlds fair site question. Nearly ZOO, :
600 people live there, and they say II the
fair is located at jackson park they vii
defeat the SIS, 900 900 city appropriation
amendment to the state constitution.
This would seriously embarrass the SIX
position. The West Siders want the fair
on the lake front. Local feeling regard
ing the fair is running high, and there is
more to fear from that than anything
else, though the directors say they will
come out all right. This is in
terpreted that jackson park will
finally be chosen. Treasurer Zeberger
states that it is gratifying TO notice the
interest manifested by the subscribers to
exposition fund in responding to the
call of the board of directors. Nearly
$500, 600 has been raised on call for

THAT PROHIBITION CAMPAIGN.
The Brewers Association Denies Its Lila,
biIities for the Expenses.

The Brewers Association Denies Its Liza
biIities for the Expenses.
PHILADELPHIA, May N.-Answers have
been filed in the Common Pleas Court by
the State Brewers Association to the suit
brought by Moore and Sinnott for money ad-
vanced in the late prohibition amendment
campaign. The first affidavit is by Charles
Glass, one of the defendants. He says that
the organization was formed for mutual ben
eft. 1t is admitted that a committee was
appointed to carry on the campaign, but
that all money was raised by voluntary con-
tributions. 1t is claimed that no agreement
was entered into.
The affidavit concludes by saying: "The
plaintiffs did not on June %, 1889, or at any
time advance to the association defendants,
or to any one on their account or pay at
their request, the said sum of $40, 800, as
stated by plaintiffs. The association defend
ants did not on July II. 1889, or at any time,
agree to pay the plaintiffs the said sum Of
$40, 800 in two weeks thereafter, or at any
time The association defendants are not
indebted to the plaintiffs in any sum what
ever"
Mr.. Glass also presented another affidavit
setting forth substantially the same facts as
the first. This last one is not filed in the
Moore and Sinnott case, but in the suit
brought by the Dstillers and Liquor Deal
ers' Association against the Pennsylvania
State Brewers Association for money alleged
to be due, growing out of the campaign ex-
penses.

PASSENGER MEMS OUTING.
A Good Time Had by Those Who Went TO
Cumberland Gnp.

Cumberland Gnp.
The Pittsburg contingent that attended the
annual outing rendered to the Louisville
Passenger Agents Association by the Louis
Vile and Nashville road, returned yester-
day. Through the kindness Of L. d.
Smith, district passenger agent OF the d. g.
o. road, the Pittsburgers travelled over the
latter line to Cincinnati. A special train Of
Pullman cars containing about 200 passen-
ger and newspaper men left Louisville early
last Saturday morning for Cumberland
Gap. They were entertained Mt the Middles-
borough Hotel.
This town is in the iron regions in the
South. j. P. Witherow q Co. are building
extensive furnaces there. The excursionists
were provided with horses, and spent Sun
dsy in climbing the famous pinnacle at
Cumberland Gap, where Forts Edgar and
Lyon are located. The old ramparts are still
seen. and where "Long Tom," the big gun
that did such effective work DUNG the war,
was placed, a pretty little restaurant now
stands. From this pinnacle COM
manding view of the country for
100 miles around is obtained, and
the Kentuckians claim that six States can
be seen from its heights. The lines OF three
OF them come together on the pinnacle, and
il man had three legs he could stand in
Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee at the
same time
Much credit for the excursion is due to
Mr.. Herman Holmes, Travelling Passenger
Agent of the L. & N. road in this territory.
