Hon. VIM. r. Baker in his 10th
year Of age was stricken with paraly-
sis this morning. His case Is very
serious and it is feared he will not re-
cover. Mr.. Baker has been one of
Houston's leading, and most pro-
gressive citizens, and has held many
positions of official trust. Was presi-
dentand one of the incorporators of the
first railroad in Texas, the Houston
and Texas Central. Was for nearly
twenty years County clerk for Harris

accumulated large amount of valua-
BILE Texas lands. He represented
Harris and Montgomery counties in
the Texas legislature, a couple of
terms, and was was afterwards elect
ed and filed the office of mayor of
Houston tor two years. He leaves
one grandchild Miss Turner of HOus-
ton, who will probably inherit the
most of the large estate. Baker first
came to Houston something over for
ty years ago, and worked his way up
from poor stable and carriage boy
to riches and good standing as a
citizen. Houston will miss him:

The Kind OF immigration to stop.

WAsHINGTON, ID. c., April 30.-Con-
sui Jones, at Prague, in the report to
the State Department, says: There
is constant stream of Hungarian
emigrants going to the United States
and constant stream is returning to
Hungary. | have it on the authority
of emigrant agents and officers at the
leading German ports, that in some
seasons the number of Hungarians
returning from the United States has
nearly equaled the number of Hun
garian emigrants going thither. They
try to earn and save money in the
United Safes and then to bring it
back to buy property or to place it at
interest. And very often, having in
vested their American savings here.
they return again to the United
States in search of employment, to
effect new savings to be again carried
off or sent to their native land. 1t
does not require any argument to de-
monstrate that such immigration is
no gain, but a positive loss to the
United States.

captain said the outlook in his section

ing. The water on his and neigh
boring plantations at Pecan Grove is
beginning to recede, and the indica-
tiOns are that at least a half crop will
be made this year. In about two
weeks planting will begin in earnest
in the parish. While the property in
the immediate wake of the Raleigh
crevasse has been seriously injured,
the adjoining places, Capt Alexander
thinks, will be intimately benefited
by the large deposit of silt and the
consequent improve fertility of the
soil resulting from its inundation.

A trial involving circumstances OF

send the priest fifty florins II month
for his wife. AS his position improved
he increased theanount OF his month
ly relnittanccs. But the rascally rev.
erel,o only handed i've llorins a
month to tie woman. This went OH
for fifteen years. when the worthy
clerical gentleman forged t; certificate
of the husbands death. and placed it
in the hands of the wife. whose death
he likewise certified in Il forged tiocu-
ment and sent To the husband in
America. Shortly afterwards lie pions-
ly bctook himself to Corfu, where he
hoped to-spcnd tho remainder Of his
days in peace, rejoicing in the rciliem.
brance Of his good works. Fate had
decided otherwise. Tile unfortunate
woman. his victim, was forced 10 get
her living by begging from the pas
, sengcrs of the Lloyd steamers that
touched at Ragusa, and her husband
sought consolation in rcmarriage with
a rich American lady, by whom he
had two children. After twenty years
absence he resolved to make Il tour i'll
Europe with his family. He visited
Paris. Vienna, Trieste, and finally Ra-
gusa. On lnnding at that harbor a
bcggar woman accos;cd him and asked
for aims. They recognized each other
simultaneously. The beggar woman
was his wife, whom he believed to
have been dead several years. Tie
priest has been arrested, and will be
tried, when. in all probability, the
second marriage will be annulled.-
