Shocked the Senator,

WASHINGTON, August 22.-The
young grandson of the famous eX-Sen-
ator Nye of Nevada and nephew of
the equally famous Bill Nye of Lara
nire City and New York was a few
days ago appointed page in the Sen
ate. He is very popular with the other
pages in the chamber, and with nearly
all Of the Senators. One of them, how
ever, Mr.. Colquitt of Georgia, rather
thinks the new page has done him an
injury. Soon after the boy had taken
the oath to support the constitution and
to defend his country against all enc
mics, foreign and domestic. he was call
ed upon to do an errand for Senator
Wade Hampton, who told him to get
bottle of Congress water and sand
witch at the restaurant, and place them
in the cloak room for him. The page
made a slight mistake in the order, and
took the articles of refreshment into
the Senate chamber and put them unin-
tentionally on the desk Of Mr.. Colquitt,
where they remained for some time the
cause of much comment. Senator Col
quit is an ardent prohibitionist, and
was greatly shocked when he entered
the chamber to find his desk adorned
with a long necked black bottle and a
sandWith covered with a napkin. At
first he was inclined to think some Of
his colleagues had been playing a prac-
tical joke. When he learned the facts
he gave young Nye lecture, and warn
ed him to he more careful hereafter to
distinguish between a prohibition SEN
ator and one who is in favor OF original
packages,

A Good Showing tor the South.

WASHINGTON, August 22.-The emu
meratorS' returns to Superintendent
Porter of the census of the Southern
States shows an unexampled and aston
ishing growth of that section. Even
the warmest friends of the South are
astonished at the figures. The returns
prove that the South has had genuine
and substantial boom. They also show
that the States Of Alabama, West Vlr-
glnia and Tennessee, where it was sup
posed that the greatest increase would
he found, are actually tagging in the
race for population. The States that
are not distinctly mineral producing
regions are the ones thatare the largest
gamers. Texas and Georgia largely
lead the column. On the basis of 1o1,-
GOO for a Congressman, which is the
present basis, every Southern State,
with the exception of Delaware, will
secure an additional Congressman, and
some OF them several. If the proposed
basis of representation prevail of 1S1,-
900. all the States, with the exceptions
of Florida and Delaware, will secure an
increase. Texas shows the largest gain
in population. her increase being 60O,

duct" Now We, the undersigned, old
neighborS and acquaintance of Capt.

and reared, deeply regret and deplore
that such base and unfounded rumors
should be circulated through the re-
spectacle press of the State to the in
jury of one of her best citizens, take
this occasion. unsolicited by any one,
save our sense of right and justice to
our old neighbor, to denounce and deny,
and pronounce unqualiGedly false any
and all such base slanders. We have
known Capt. D. K. Norris all his life,
and a more honorable, upright and
pure citizen Orangeburg County has
never reared. and instead of being
"forced" to leave this locality it was
with great regret and a deep sense of
our love for him to sever his aSSocla-

Staring Starvation in the Face.

\ dispatch from Bad Axe: Mich, says:
"The farmers of a portion of Huron
County have asked for public aid because
their crops were totally destroyed by the
terrific storm which swept the Eastern
part of the county at harvest time.
The appeal has been made by 200 of
them in the face of absolute want and
possible starvation. The storm was a
phenomenal one, the hail falling in
clouds and covering the ground from
four to eight inches, completely burying
all their crops. The track of the storm
was through Siegel and Bloomfield and
part of Paris townships, and covered an
area eighteen miles long and a mile
wide. Many of the farmers in that sec
tion live on rented farms, which only ag-
gravates the suffering as they cannot
pay their rent, besides having nothing
to live upon. Many will be in danger of
starving unless help is given. An in
stance is reported where one man had
600 acres rented and all in crops. Every
acre was destroyed. The estimated loss
is at least $4,000, ranging from $50 to
$1,000 for each farmer"

SHE SHOT HIM DEAD.
Judge Max Stein Shot in the Presence of
His Wife and Daughter.

His Wife and Daughter.
BROWNSVILLE. TEXAS, August 90
At l o'clock last night County Judge
Max Stein, of Hidalgo County, the
leading merchant and one of the wealth
lest and most popular citizens of Edln-
burg, Tex, was shot and killed in
Renosa, Mexico, by Mrs. Della McCabe,
of earns County, Texas. The muir
deress is the wife of eX-County Judge
Homer Y. McCabe: of Ilidalgo.
There is Il fair at Renosa, and yester-
day a large excursion went there from
Matamoras. 4 Mexican theatrical
company gave a performance, which
Judge Stein, with his wife and daugh-
ter, attended.
After the performance the party
went to one of the booths in the fair
for supper. The ladies were seated and
Stein was just drawing up a chair when
Mrs. McCabe, tall, handsome, twenty
two-year-old woman, wild and untam-
ed as the brceZeS of the pralrlcs on
which she was raised, appeared. Her
long hair was blowing in the wind and
her eyes flashed rs she sprang upon
Stein. grasped his left arm. and before
he w;ls aware OF her presence, pressed
her pristol against his breast and fired.
AS the unfortunate man fell dead his
wife sprang toward the murderesS.
Mrs. McCahe felled Mrs. Stein to the
earth with a savage blow on the temple
with the barrel of the pistol.
The Chief Of Police of Renosa rushed
I'D to arrest the beautiful murderesS,
when she knocked him down also, and
then, like a lionesS at bay, she brought
her ready pistol down on the policemen
who came UP and detied them to arrest
her.
The cavalry, always in attendance at
Mexican border fair. came I'D, and
some of the soldiers crept behind the
woman and pinned her arms. After a
desperate struggle they succeeded in
disarmlng and securing her.
The affair grew out CT the election
trouble in Hidalgo County. McCabe,
who is Il lawyer. went into Edinburg
about ten months ago, and on COM
promise as the only man not mixed in
local politics who would accept, was
nominated by the Republicans and al
lowed by the Democrats to take the
position of County Judge.
At the last term of the County Court
he, being clearly ineligible, was un-
seated by District Judge Russell and on
the earnest solicitation of all parties to
conserve the County finances and
against his own desires Judge Stein ac-
cepted the position.
McCabe, at the head Of d party of
marauderS, tried to forcibly capture
the court house, and failing tied to
